The ASMR Videos Where People Whisper Are Super Weird
The other week, I was filling in for Fran on Chicks in the Office and me and Ria started talking about ASMR because of Cardi B’s ASMR video:
I told Ria I didn’t really understand ASMR, because it makes me super tense, which is the opposite of what it’s supposed to do. I thought maybe I was too anxious to enjoy it. Ria started explaining how ASMR makes her feel: super relaxed, and she feels a tingling sensation in her forehead. I was very confused. The fuck do you mean, tingling? All I had ever felt was uncomfortable.
Well, turns out I had just been listening to the wrong kind of ASMR video!! I don’t like people whispering in my ear in real life, why would I think I would enjoy it on video? Sunday afternoon I got deep, deeep into an ASMR wormhole, and I think I accidentally got into the weird stuff. But…. it worked. My forehead? Tingled.
If whispering ASMR is like vanilla sex, I’m pretty sure the ASMR I like is the equivalent of needing to be strapped down and called a stupid whore by 3 different men to get off. But if you’re curious about ASMR and you hate the whispering… check this out. It might just do it for ya.
And if that doesn’t work, this one is sure to.
