ASMR is a vestigial grooming response.

It's what you would have been feeling hundreds of thousands of years ago when one of your fellow primates was grooming you. It feels good because it was nature's way of getting you to sit still for long periods of time while someone else pulled all the lice and ticks and twigs and crap out of your fur.

When humans lost their fur, the grooming response atrophied, to the point where most people don't have it at all, and those who do are having it triggered accidentally by things which are somewhat like grooming. Haircuts, someone close to them speaking in a quiet voice, small repetitive movements, etc.

For the 1% who still have it, it apparently feels really good. For the rest of us, it looks weird as gently caress and we assume it must be some kind of deviant porn.

I don't loving get asmr. It's just too god drat creepy, especially if you're wearing headphones.

I don't want any strangers THAT close to my ears.
Unless they've got their cock out.
And it's a good looking cock.
And also erect.

I don't "get" ASMR in general but a while ago someone posted this guy in one of these threads and I have to admit he kind of owns:

And yes I have jacked off to it but that's only because I have a fetish for Indian men with mustaches.

I can't stand hearing other people's mouth sounds. Loud crunching, lip smacking, etc. make my skin crawl. ASMR is my worst nightmare.

Once I came across a video of a guy whisper-describing a Japanese Animal Crossing guide book. He couldn't read it, so he just kind of ran his fingers over the pages and said the pictures were nice. :confused:
