Danny O Flannagin Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I wouldn't classify it as a sexual thing. Just because something's pleasurable doesn't make it sexual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Yeah, it isn't sexual arousal. It is a pleasurable sensation with no association to genital pleasure, and it also isn't the sensation you get from hearing awesome music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) It's more like a sense of security, or perhaps the most accurate description to me would be surrender. Like cats purr when you pet them but also when threatened. This thread has certainly forced me to think about this phenomenon and its relationship to chills/thrills. I hope this hasn't ruined the experience for me. And I'm still convinced there is a lot of common ground. This isn't exactly science, but still interesting stuff.

popiax Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Okay, topic aside, do those videos creep the living shit out of anyone else?I can't even watch more than like 20 seconds at a time.ECK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Okay, topic aside, do those videos creep the living shit out of anyone else?Not really, although they're not particularly effective at eliciting the response from me either. But like I said, the context isn't always unambiguously pleasant when it does happen to me. Here's something with a strong creepy vibe that gets me in this state every single time I play it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls1OYn_xGzM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The latter segment of 1 1 is on Exai is arousing, but not necessarily in a sexual way.Man, it really is more challenging to type correctly after a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) so there are people who really like the sound of a paintbrush being ruffled by fingers, but instead of owning a brush and playing with it, they watch youtube videos until the effect "wears off"? ambermonk: a beer? pardon my lol Edited May 19, 2013 by luke viia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly like a drugged out feeling if you get really into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 ambermonk: a beer? pardon my lol Stiegl, 16.9 oz can. I only drink on occasion tho. I'd probably be chugging more than that if I was hanging out with you guys IRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 fair enough, just seems weird reading those comments of things like "there aren't many good brush videos on youtube, thanks for this!" etc. seems like a pretty helpless attitude, just needed to poke fun at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly like a drugged out feeling if you get really into it. True, I don't get it when I'm vacuuming, but I do when someone else is. In the shower I get it by myself though, it's pretty straightforward in that case to "chill out and just focus on it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny O Flannagin Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 For anyone who's interested, there's an interesting This American Life on ASMR. It's Act 2 http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/491/tribes?act=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankie5fingers Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 is there something wrong with me if i don't feel anything at all by any of these videos? they aren't doing a thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 this is the only video were the sound alone gives me that scalp tingle feeling. nothing like what those comments say though, jesus. if someone made a 'do you get aroused by smells' thread i would have alot more to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
