ASMR videos are videos that attempt to provide the sensation called "ASMR," that tingling sensation you get when someone is whispering something, or the eye doctor
is examining you, or you're watching someone do some mundane thing, you getting your hair done sometimes, and they do it in such a way that is tingly relaxing. I had a customer at the old store I work at who would really go through the paint section (art paints) and lay everything out and examine it all, and she always gave me that ASMR......it's not sexual, but in cases like I just described, it can be absolutely fascinating.
I remember Roger Ebert reviewing Castaway, and saying that people are fascinated by watching other people work, which is what the best part of that movie was - simply
watching Tom Hanks figure out how to survive. It's why the only Realty TV show I can handle, is "Survivorman," because he just works the whole time, it's actually educational,
and if he's in a pretty location, it can be relaxing, like watching the many fires he makes.
(There are actually videos you can buy of a fireplace lit, snow falling, rain falling, ocean waves, or something relaxing that people use to fall asleep.)
Tickling probably wouldn't work for ASMR unless it was just light relaxing tickling...HOWEVER, I would love to see an ASMR video with say, a girl doing something after taking her shoes
off, in sheer toe pantyhose (the best way, of course!!
🙂) or in bare feet for the bare foot fans out there. (Or socks...) Sorting papers, doing some task like that, building a model,
or making some art work, etc.
...hooh boy, can you imagine going to the eye doctor, and she's very pretty, and she dresses like doctors used to dress, and she takes her shoes off to reveal her pantyhose feet
and gives you the full eye exam? You'd be so turned on and relaxed, you pay just for that experience.
The thing about ASMR videos is, and I feel bad for the people who make them, is that the best ones are the "real" ones, the unintentional ones.
They're also known as whisper video, and it's just a blank screen with usually a girl whispering something, or pretending to do your hair.
But a real eye exam video with visuals is always better.
Here are two role playing versions:
