Best read: experts say orgasms through ASMR are becoming totally hot

At the end of the year, we look back at our most read articles. It may be that you missed these, so you can enjoy reading them again now. Under a blanket on the couch, for example. And of course, the Amayzine team wishes you the most beautiful days, and may 2024 be a great year for all of us.

Oh, I think this is a trend that I will let pass me by... I get extremely anxious from ASMR. I once tried it because it was supposed to help with sleep problems (it didn't work), but I didn't exactly get excited about it — besides the fact that I didn't fall asleep — I also felt very fidgety and uncomfortable. A creepy feeling. No, ASMR is not for me.

Still, according to Limor Gottlieb, a researcher in relationships and sex, this is going to be a big trend in the field of sex. ‘When more people choose to focus on pleasure and innovation in their sex lives, they can, for example, take on a dom and sub role and use ASMR to create sensory arousal.’

He further explains: ‘The idea that sex must only be penetrative is long outdated. The focus of sex is no longer to achieve an orgasm, but to experience pleasure, and we can also experience that without penetration but with ASMR as sex. This means that couples need to be creative in the bedroom and get to know each other's bodies much better.’

Uh, yeah... I'm not convinced yet, to be honest. Still, I guess I have to get used to it, because according to Gottlieb and his colleagues, this is going to be the sex trend of the coming year.
