Yes, you can really have an orgasm from ASMR
Slowly, a soft voice begins to whisper, accompanied by delicate sounds like the rustling of paper, the tapping of nails on a surface, or the rustling of leaves. Suddenly, you feel a tingling that starts on your scalp and makes its way down your spine. ASMR videos are super hot on TikTok and Insta. Nails tapping, someone opening a jar of cream, a piece of paper crinkling... You feel relaxed and even a bit tingly; the nice feeling afterward is often described as a ‘brain orgasm.’.
Something that is becoming increasingly normal as we look at the online trends of ASMR. For a while, I watched how a pair of hands simply unpacked beautiful glitter slime from the box and then started kneading it. It was seriously relaxing, and suddenly my entire algorithm was filled with slime videos. Why is it so intensely popular? Although not much scientific research has been done on ASMR yet, researchers are slowly beginning to gain more insight into this intriguing part of social media. A study published in 2018 in the journal BioImpacts suggests that ASMR videos may contribute to a reduction in heart rate and an increased sense of relaxation. It is similar to the physiological response that people experience during meditation, mindfulness practices, or a yoga class. For some, it just goes a step further: it feels so relaxing that the tingling and shivering remind you of an orgasm. But not in your punani, more throughout your whole body. It feels super zen.
That something happens to you when you watch someone clicking with jars and tubes and nails is a fact. These feelings can be caused by the activation of certain nerve pathways and the release of endorphins, the ‘happiness hormones’ of the body. For some, it is a way to reduce stress and anxiety, others use it to fall asleep faster or to alleviate feelings of loneliness. The calming effects of ASMR can help relax the mind and body. And whether they are really sexual orgasms? No, not that. Because as long as you don't do anything else, let's say, you get a brain orgasm, not an orgasm down under. However, it does trigger something like a shiver in your body, and that's a nice bonus while scrolling through your timeline, right?
