ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) and shaving

Well, I've listened to some of the first video (admittedly without headphones) and You Tubed some, but no tingles. Am I right to presume that if I've never noticed any such sensations before now, it's unlikely to start now?
Chrisbell, I'm curious to know when you first noticed these sensations. Did they just naturally come on?
 
Well I've had them for as long as I can remember and maybe some people are more sensitive than others. Getting my eyes tested does the same thing, when the optician moves things close to my head. I went to have some Reflexology once and the girl doing it said I was very sensitive to it, she was pressing on points and I was telling her where in my body I could feel it and to what extent, I was spot on each time. One point made me feel sick and I had to tell her to stop so it's not all good.
It's like when someone walks into a room behind you and you get that 'feeling' in your head even though you don't hear them and sometimes feel like your ears move in that direction or when you know the phone will ring just before it rings or when you know what's going to happen next. If I think about it I can send a tingle from my toes to the top of my head like a wave.

MRI scans do it for me - as long as they don't pipe any music over the headphones, they also send me a bit sensory deprivation if they go on longer than ten minutes or so. Which is nice.

I actually managed to fall asleep in my last scan. I have an annual brain scan (yes they did find one) but without my hearing aids in the noise of the machine is just a dull thrum. And in my defence I had just come off a night shift. 40 minutes in the scanner and I was well away.
 
@Chrisbell curse of the internet, lack of non verbal cues!
@Father Ted hooray not just me! They look at me like I'm complete loon when I tell them "I enjoy it just take your time". I start having mild hallucinations, aural and visual, well before the 30 minute mark so at 40 I'd be flying. Sadly I haven't had one for years - I keep my "symptoms which don't match your injury" to myself these days.
@Tackleberry funny you should mention Opticians one of my first opticians used to set me off when checking my retinas. The combination of a darkened room, the Martian river patterns caused by the light in your eyes and his soft voice really worked. I still enjoy that bit of the test, just something about seeing the reflection of the back of your own eye, in your own eye really gets me.

Nothing for me either. Yet if I look at a cliff and think about climbing it, whether it's on the tellybox, or seen out the car window or there in reality, the soles of my feet tingle and my palms itch.
YMMV

I suspect, Count, that you're either taking the pi$$, or (more likely) don't understand what ASMR is. It's absolutely nothing like that unpleasant, tingling you describe - it's a soft, invigorating, yet relaxing sensation that (for me at least) washes over my scalp like waves at the very end of their travel on a beach when the water laps around your ankles.

No and No. I'm not sure how you got unpleasant from "the soles of my feet tingle" as a description, but it certainly isn't a relaxing sensation. As for ASMR MRI scans do it for me - as long as they don't pipe any music over the headphones, they also send me a bit sensory deprivation if they go on longer than ten minutes or so. Which is nice.

Interesting, magnetic is almost a way of describing it. You ever see the movie X-men where Magneto rips the Iron out of some guys blood. Well... I'm imagining my head filled with iron, right about now, tbh... anyways... ASMR Studio has some good ones...
 
I couldn't find anything on xhamster when I searched for 'ASMR'.

Found some other stuff that made me tingle though.

Job jobbed.

(Come on, you wouldn't expect me to post anything remotely sensible, helpful or insightful).

Ok, I am going to reach out and touch you.... now

TOUCH

Did you feel that?

This technique was originally developed for CBeebies by Jimmy Savile.

To be fair I haven't tried it yet.

But you are not being fair are you?

Took you eight months to think of that reply. Well done.
 
I discovered ASMR by accident very recently. However, I do not think that I would be particularly receptive to shaving ASMR videos...


In one of the comments of this video, I read the word ASMR (this American young lady has definitely some sort of vibe or charisma; she is an actress so she knows how to express emotions), and thus I started to look into it.

ASMR works on me mostly when listening to it rather than watching it (that is a pity, because some of the girls filming these videos on Youtube are really beautiful). So most of the time I only listen to these charming ladies whispering to my ear through headphones, it is good enough to doze off or to relax.

Oddly enough, I did try to listen to ASMR in French (my native language), but for some unknown reason it has absolutely no effect on me besides getting on my nerves... Whereas in (American) English it works successfully. Go figure.
