ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is experienced through a relaxing tingling all over your body or head. It is a very calming sensation that washes over you. ASMR per se is not sexual, the feeling you experience could be from sheer relaxation to pleasurable sensations. Some people experience ASMR, but a lot of us dont. If you dont feel anything from any of the videos below, this may mean you havent found your trigger yet, or you are just not into ASMR.

In general ASMR porn combines the sound effects of ASMR with some sort of sexual acitivity (such as nudity, moaning, kissing, sex toy vibration, giving blowjob to a dildo). Kind of sub-category is erotic ASMR which is more about intimacy and the feeling of you being the only person that this is intended for. It creates the feeling of just waking up next to a person who is whispering all these wonderful things in your ear.

Not all ASMR is porn or erotic ASMR. A lot of the ASMR out there is really just sensory-heightening sounds and is used by people to relax them, help them sleep, or help them focus. Such is the most traditional form of AMSR - sound ASMR.

Triggers for sound ASMR include whispering and soft talking, listening to hair being cut, big makeup brushes brushing the mic, scratching and tapping, water sounds, sounds of chewing.

This video contains pure sound and some slightly erotic ASMR

The glorious Breadface has her own ASMR category and it is somewthing we need and we never asked for - literally putting her face onto every single bread-like creation in this world. She made this crazy fancy video for Garage magazine and its absolutely fantastic. This is a very big trigger for me, hopefully you enjoy it.

The last one goes to the cat ladies, and even though it is not an official ASMR trigger (yet) it creates a very relaxing and pleasant sensation for me. Technically, it should be in the section of sound ASMR, but I decided it needs your undivided attention, and name it cat ASMR. I used to listen to cats purring while working on a stressful project, and it definitely helped me go through the re-launch of big sites when I was working at VICE. I still listen to it a lot when I need to concentrate but also feel good. Apparently Im not alone as there is this web project where you can adjust the intensity and mood of a cat purr.
