What is ASMR and Why is it Being Sexualised? (Opinion based)

PLEASE READ: In this ASMR related vlog, I discuss the different reasons why ASMR is easy to sexualise, what to expect from certain videos and what the difference is between actually feeling ASMR and being aroused. This is entirely based on my personal opinions, but I'd like to have an open, adult discussion about sexuality in ASMR which is often a topic most people try to avoid. My views will probably keep evolving after the feedback and experiences I'm hoping to read here. Sometimes ASMR is about pretense through role plays, emulating situations that can trigger your ASMR in real life. This pretense is a big open door for interpretation and the idea of ASMR can be confusing for people who don't feel it. This is a problem sometimes due to all the pornographic videos that are appearing on YouTube with the tag ASMR. People know ASMR is growing and it will attract people. I hope this helps so that we can understand the difference. There is a lot more than can be said and I invite you to leave feedback and/or share your experiences and points of view. Let's have an adult conversation about it!

It’s that tingly sensation that some people get in the back of the scalp, sometimes going down your spine and other parts of the body. It is pleasurable and relaxing. The purpose of ASMR videos is to trigger these tingles by recreating real life based situations that would normally be triggering, or by simply playing with sounds and visuals that work just as well. There's a lot more to that pleasurable physical feeling though. Most ASMR videos provide personal attention and make the viewer feel cared for and safe. I like to believe this feeling called ASMR is a primal body response to the feeling of being safe and loved. ASMR may not only help you relax and sleep, but it can also help you find comfort and can be a powerful tool to be more mindful and deal with stress better. A shortcut to meditation. ***Que es el ASMR? Es una sensación de cosquilleo que algunos sentimos en la parte trasera del cuero cabelludo; a veces deslizándose por la columna vertebral hacia otras partes del cuerpo. El objetivo de los videos ASMR es detonar este cosquilleo recreando situaciones basadas en la vida real (que naturalmente generarían esa sensación), o por medio de sonidos y efectos visuales. Estos videos representan mucho más que un método para detonarlo. Muchos ofrecen una ficticia atención personal con el objetivo de hacer sentir al observador cuidado y seguro. En mi opinión, esta respuesta fisiológica que llamamos ASMR, no es más que una reacción primordial del cuerpo ante situaciones de seguridad y afecto. El ASMR no solo sirve para relajarse y poder conciliar el sueño, sino que también puede brindar consuelo y puede ser utilizado como una herramienta para combatir el estrés.
