How many times has a person not been able to enjoy a sexual relationship because they were thinking about other things? Or has he wanted to end it as soon as possible so that he could do more things? How many times has a whisper made a person shudder? The new ASMR craze is pretty much about that, taking your mind off your worries and intensifying your pleasure by helping you focus only on the present moment.
What is ASMR?
In English it literally means “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response” and translated into Spanish it refers to “Autonomous Meridian Sensory Response”. And what does this mean? In short, it is about the pleasure you feel when you hear or see something satisfactory.
Each person reacts differently to this phenomenon, since it depends on what is satisfactory for each person. Playing with the senses, listening to sounds that would otherwise go unnoticed, while being accompanied by a video.
To enjoy it, or to know more exactly what it refers to, just search for ASMR on any web browser. An increasing number of content creators are doing this. Recording video and with a microphone in close proximity while doing everyday things.
Tips to enjoy it
Enjoying ASMR is easy. Here are a few tips to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
- Find a comfortable place, in a well-kept environment, if possible. It’s important at this point to just focus on seeing and hearing.
- No hurry but no pause. It is important to have time to devote to it.
- Find out which type of ASMR is most satisfying. Some people find pleasure in hearing other people eat, hit or scratch… So imagine the possibilities when it comes to sex and eroticism.
- To maximize the pleasure it is recommended to use helmets to isolate yourself from any other sound and immerse yourself completely in the experience.
- It can be mixed with other techniques such as virtual reality and take advantage of both experiences.
Types of ASMR
It is said that this type of experience takes all of life between people, as it is a natural and biological reaction. But the truth is that it was named and first appeared in 2010 in a Facebook group by Jennifer Allen.
It is a global phenomenon that has gone viral and many questions and doubts continue to be raised about it. Since it does not influence all people equally and in the end it is a response produced in the brain that causes a tingling and warmth in the head and neck above all. But generating this reaction is possible by various means.
- Auditive ASMR
It’s usually all those soft, slow, repetitive sounds… Above all, what triumphs most are the whispers and murmurs. You can find many erotic stories like this. But also the sound of routine actions can be pleasant, like turning the pages, the sound of keys, a few steps…
- Visual ASMR
The one that transmits pleasant images. Slow movements with soft lights and colours. Move the camera slowly so that it captures all points of view and shapes. Combine and create abstract figures. There are people who find pleasure in seeing butter melt, plasteline crush, soap cut…
- Touch ASMR
Playing with textures, soft, rough, rough, malleable… Caressing, drumming with the fingers, scratching, crushing… But above all it is about letting yourself be touched. Above all with movements and playing with gentle pressure in the most sensitive areas. Mainly in the head and neck area… As if it were a whole tantric massage.
- Situational ASMR
All places convey sensations. Some people find some places more relaxing than others. And this type of ASMR seeks to generate pleasure through what being in a particular place transmits, the atmosphere, the sounds… For example, a train station, a heavenly beach, the top of a mountain…
- Ultrasensorial ASMR
That which is produced by mixing several senses at once. That is, audio and video, or tactile and situational, for example.
Relaxation VS excitation
The main objective of ASMR is relaxation. That’s why many people seek it out, especially before going to sleep, for more and better rest. But depending on the stimulus and type of ASMR, a different reaction will be generated. Many claim to have even experienced a cerebral orgasm. Goose bumps, warm sensations, tingling… A completely unique sensation.
That’s why it’s important to try and experience whether this technique has any effect because as mentioned above, not everyone is able to enjoy it. The aim is to focus only on the sound, image, situation or touch and what it generates in one’s own body. Thus forgetting about stress, speed and the different worries and responsibilities of everyday life. Like when you go to have sex that you can’t enjoy if you have something else on your mind. ASMR gives you something to focus on, and best of all, it does so without really being aware of it. So why wait to try it out?
