ASMR (AKA Tingly Scalp)

[Collective Foal]

Depends if it's sexual. If you're talking sexually, it's just he's horny and wants in your pants, as arousal increases dopamine levels, which has been found to shut down your ability to recieve ASMR. If it's non-sexual, then what you said is most likely true.

So anyways... I suppose I might have gotten it today. The sensation I mean. I was walking down some stairs at my school while I repeated "Hi, my name is. What? My name is. Who? My name is. Check it Check it. Twilight Sparkle." in my head. It started on the back of my head and spread to my face... So it was either that... or a stroke.

wat.

Huh, I don't think I've ever had an ASMR experience before. Seriously, I'm trying to think of a time where I've reacted like this to something, but I can't. The closest thing I can recall is my heartbeat rising when listening to certain songs, but I have a feeling that's something else.

[Collective Foal]

Yes. Musical effects are considered Frisson.

 

Listen to this. Get yourself calm and then focus on the video and the sounds. Sometimes it helps to watch the video, too. Also, headphones are recommended:

Yeah, I got nothing from that video or the one in the OP. Maybe my mind is just too active, even when calm. I dunno.

[Collective Foal]

You just don't have ASMR. Simple as that. Sorry, bra

[Obsidian]

No need for apologies. Between ASMR and lucid dreams, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat XD

TBH, you're not really missing out on much. It's nice but I don't actively seek it out.

TBH, you're not really missing out on much. It's nice but I don't actively seek it out.

Then you obviously don't get it very strongly? o____O

[Axeldeath]

I get it, but very rarely. It feels nice and I can see why people would seek to experience it but it's no better than other things you can do with your body to enjoy themselves.

[Collective Foal]

The way it seems to me, Nagisa and I have enough ASMR to light up every forumer's body like a Christmas tree. Everybody's different, but when I get mine, I feel like I'm sitting in a massage chair that simultaneously stimulates my brain's pleasure center.

I actively seek out ASMR more commonly since this thread. Since it helps me to relax my entire body. Without the need for sleep, massages, or any other means that don't simply involve playing a youtube video with my headphones on. It's great really, since relaxation helps me focus on my assignments.

Holy crap, I think I just helped someone! I feel awesome right now. I'm glad to hear it helps you. To the "Made my Day" thread!
