I was doing some research on this and thought it was creepily interesting. Unfortunately I don't think I have ever had a physical reaction to a sound/whisper/tapping /brushing
Do any of you experience this?
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli. The nature and classification of the ASMR phenomenon is controversial,[1] with strong anecdotal evidence to support the phenomenon but little or no scientific explanation or verified data.[2]

What are triggers and how to they work!
-
You know if there were no pictures I'd swear I was listening to Porn!
-
Sometimes I feel like the back of my brain is falling asleep I just assume that a tumor is forming and that it'll eventually kill me
-
I remember when I made a thread about this.
-
These videos are so fu[i]c[/i]king weird.
-
I don't think I have any triggers.
-
Certain sounds and tones in songs do it for me. Might be the reason why I listen to so much music.
-
I listen to this to help me sleep since I don't sleep the greatest and for me it helps.
-
There are a few tactile/auditory things that give me this sensation.
-
tfw I'm too scared there's gonna be a jumpscare
-
I get it, only from nice voices tho, whispers tapping and brushing aren't particularly nice sounds.
-
Not really. A shame, I think.
-
1 hour video? Yuck no time
-
Too much 3DPD
-
Listen to metal. Gets me every time
-
They are also known as braingasums.

Not gonna lie, you've piqued my interest. I might look into this myself.
-
Yes. I listen to it most nights when I can. Feels amazing and sends me right to sleep. I find I need a mixture or visual/ sound triggers to experience it. Rarely I'll find someone who has a voice or accent that triggers me. Recently I've taken a liking to Cosmic Tingles. Love her voice and she does exactly what I look for. Gentle Whispering has an awesome accent that sets me off like crazy, but I think my favourite is still Heather Feather. She puts a lot of effort into her videos and usually has funny little references too. Her aperture science one was so good.
-
This happens to me occasionally. Not really sure why, though.
-
Does it help you relax? I have a lot of trouble relaxing
-
I hate when people refer to them as "braingasms".
-
At first, I was like "Huh? No." So I stated skipping through the video. Randomly stopped on a part where she's putting a cap back on a bottle and immediately understood what she was talking about. Little tingles down my neck and back. weird.

You might not have found the right trigger maybe?
