If you have opened Facebook, youtube, or even some porn sites, you should have noticed the newest trend in the video recording scene called ASMR porn. There is no chance that you have not seen a girl whispering while doing something like eating, playing with a toy, or just doing nothing but talking. And this goes for about ten to thirty minutes. Weird, huh? These girls, as they are mostly girls and women, make about a million subscribers. These subscribers are all looking for that whisper! And the only question that I really have to ask is, “What the bloody hell is this?”
ASMR porn is what we are talking about here. The abbreviation expands in Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. This is basically the sensation people get from watching and listening to stimulating videos that involve personal attention. It is usually a feeling described as tingling through someone’s spine, starting from the scalp. For many people, this is a very exciting experience, and for others, it is a very relaxing sensation that can even bring them to sleep.
Even though the abbreviation sounds way too technical .It turns out that there is no real science working with this sensation happening, although many people are trying to research in this field of problem. The idea of this practice was coined in the early 10s and is not a huge trend all over the whole internet.
This is one of the great obstacles for scientists- it works in a different way for everybody. For most people, it does not even work. But for those who get the effect, it works in a different manner. In this sense, the science behind this phenomenon does not exist.
For some people, the main trigger is both sensory and psychological. It is based on both silent whispering and the personal attention this person gives to the specific listener, aka you! It is usually a girl or a woman who produces the video. She might be telling you about her day, or an invented story…or just a lecture that she had today. The other option is for the girl to be using additional materials.
The girl might be opening bottles of coke and pouring them into glasses, or opening different sweets and reviewing them in whispers. It might be screeching with teeth, or tapping different materials with long acrylic nails. It might be sprayed by a vaporizer or just lighting and smoking cigarette after cigarette. All these actions are happening in front of a mic with high sensitivity. The sound that you hear is straightforward loud, but it is gentle and is just a sound. For somebody, it might be quite frustrating, but for other people, it is a very calming one.
The feeling this practice provokes is not straightforwardly sexual for most people. For most people, the sensation that is triggered is just relaxation and has nothing in common with any sexual stimulation. However, it is not to forget that sexual turn-on stimulation provokes the same feeling that ASMR porn gives to its experiencers. What is common about sex and ASMR is that people who love Autonomous Sensory moments know and can be clear about exactly what they like and that they get bored at it from time to time, and they find something else to get into for a while until they are ready to get back to the stimulation that they really adore.
What is the sexual trigger for those who are responsive to it in a sexual way? It is the role play on different levels. The girl might be in the role of a teacher explaining your economics, or in the role of a Farmacy’s employee. There is an endless range of roles a person can take when they are behind the camera. And we cannot deny that a girl in a uniform gently and melodically whispering in your ear be a huge turn on!
Yale University has ten years of exploring the neurological origin of this phenomenon. In 2012 they posted in their Medical blog that ASMR porn is a type of light seizure in its nature. An actual episode is an absolute pain, but a little one can bring a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. Teasing and triggering the senses in a very light degree is a huge stimulation, and, of course, it has a result. Simply explained, it is like tickling your nerves.
This strange sensation may not have a proper scientific explanation, but the benefits are more than explained already.
The feeling that you get is like a workout for your nerves and sensitivity. You get a higher sensitivity towards sounds, touches, and the body language people around you show. This strongly reflects on your sexual experience. It also enhances your attention giving skills.
What was kind of surprising is that psychologists claim that the seizure you get from ASMR porn is a relaxation practice for your muscles and nerves. It might even be used as a therapy. It can have a huge positive impact on your mental stability. Do you want more? If you are being anxious all of the time, this might improve your daily experiences and can also make a big change in your sleeping habits, helping you to fall asleep faster and easier.
If the autonomous sensory phenomenon can have a sexual side in it, the first logical question to come up is whether it can turn into a fetish over time. The answer is Yes, it can! It is not a matter of turning, actually. It is a sensation that nobody can resist. That leads to good moments for those who can feel it anyways. So, once you know that you do have it, the only thing to do is to realize that it turns you on and what exactly turns you on in the whole experience. It might be the melodic voice, but it can be the role-play itself. Find out the fantasy you want to be a part of. This is a whole new level of sexual stimulation to experience!
ASMR porn is not everybody’s cup of tea, not in a matter of personal preferences, but an only natural physical response. It is only your responsibility to get to know whether this practice has some effect on you, or it does not. When you already have the answer, you can find your own way to focus on whatever you like. It is all a question of self-exploration! Go and explore!
