That feel when you find out a SO does not get the ASMRs.... 🙁
I like girls who are into techno but not into drugs. Almost all girls in Oklahoma do not like Techno. 🙁

You rich mother ****er.
Lol at the expected joke. I thought about wording it differently to prevent it, but I wanted to let nature take its course.
I'm not sure how I feel about a foot massage. But the other two are enticing. Now, the place is a bit out there, and will undoubtedly package that stuff with useless hippy crap like healing crystals, cleansing oils, etc. But whatever. Won't ruin the experience.
We're also taking a weekend trip to St. Louis in about a month where we're going to go to, in this order, a swing dancing night, a trampoline park, a Renaissance Faire, and a science museum. The trampoline park is a surprise...she has no idea it exists. I'm like the best boyfriend ever (though sadly, not rich).

You actually do sound like a great boyfriend. I am taking notes. You damn bastard...
Sort of related, but, I got the ASMR feels when in gradeschool, they checked us for lice. I USED to get the ASMR feels when getting a back massage but for some reason, it doesn't happen anymore.
The eye exam still is a big one, for me. I don't know why...but them feels. There doesn't even have to be physical touch involved. It's weird.
Lame story time: when I was in the 8th grade, we were doing a lab that required us to measure something related to the eyes. I forget what the lab was about (I think it was to show that our eyes are more sensitive to certain colors of light compared to others). The exam was to measure the changes in our pupil size (dilation). I was paired with a good friend but it was a dude. I HATED the fact that he gave me "them feels." I wanted the cute girl to be my lab partner. 🙁
I brought that up to say this: I think kids should be taught about this because those feelings could be scary for some or confusing for others. I think they should be taught that it is not a sexual thing and to not feel bad about having them.
Playing with tape and stickers. I have done it for years. I don't get brain tingles exactly, maybe because of how long it's been a habit, but the sensation is similar to ASMR responses. I found a couple videos of this, so I'm not alone with that trigger.

No joke. Right up until the point where I subtly sabotage a chance at lasting happiness at around the 6-9 month mark by distancing myself from the relationship after questioning its ability to last, making each inevitably doomed relationship a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But seriously, things are going well.

Eye exams do it for a lot of people apparently. Myself included.

No, I think kids should be mortified and questioned on their sexuality as early and often as possible. Childhood trauma builds character!

...notable for the list of ASMR video channels at the bottom. I followed a few of the links and discovered new stuff that I enjoyed.

Crap I sort of enjoy those videos but clearly not the way I'm supposed to. No "tingles" or anything like that.
Well, then you're welcome for the fap material.

Some of the girls who do the videos are utterly adorkable. Definitely not a sustainable thing though. Beyond the first 20 seconds, for whispering only mind you, I start to become desensitized.
Different for everyone. Some don't experience tingles, per se, but it's relaxing nonetheless. So they'll use it to relax or to help them go to sleep.
