This is the weirdest ASMR I've ever seen, rivaled only by Ephemeral Rift's weird ****ing videos.

My favorite Youtube comment from this video:
"I didn't get that tingle I was hoping for, but now I have a rock solid erection that won't go away."

I think we've identified my tendencies. Other stuff can trigger my ASMR, but pretty girls with soothing voices talking softly into a binaural microphone is pretty much my thing.
I feel like this is a Youtube thing, though. IRL, I feel the sensation most often when people are doing work. Watching a car mechanic or cable installer doing their work has as much chance to give me tingles as more traditional things. And noises like scratching and popping don't do it at all for me. The exception there is tape. For me, playing with tape is the equivalent of using a stress ball for many people. But I need the tactile sensation. A "tape sounds" video would do jack all.
I'm just so thrilled I discovered this. I had no name for the sensation, and no idea it could be voluntarily induced. I'll often just leave ASMR videos on in the background while I'm doing other computer work. It just improves my life in all kinds of ways.

I watched 15 seconds of that video and realized that that video is much better enjoyed with a decent pair of headphones. I was in my office and played it on the surround sound but I don't think that does a video like that justice (even a shitty pair of headphones would probably be better for what that video was intended for).
Good find. Thanks for sharing. I will watch this vid before I go to bed, tonight. That's in about an hour. I suppose my wife will think I'm being a perv or I am weird. I will not explain to her what is going on, lol.

Digi, that last one you posted gave me a very very strong ASMR response. It was actually too strong. I think that may be because I haven't done the ASMR stuff for a long time.
Lol, sorry?
Lots of people say they feel it stronger after a long break from ASMR, and I've experienced that as well, so that part makes sense. Never heard of it being too strong, though. I'm actually kinda curious what that would be like, though I'm sure I've never come close to that level of reaction.
Been a while since I bumped this. So as I watch videos, I tend to get a ton of tingles for particular videos for a while, then they stop doing it for me and I find new ones. Recently, a couple ASMRtists have been doing it for me:

ASMRLoa: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNG_Vlt8Odsd61k--UMvUvg
Waterwhispers is the channel that got me into ASMR, but Ilse doesn't do much for me these days. Heather Feather gave me the strongest tingles for a while, but she's more hit & miss for me these days.
Hopefully that gives you guys some new, interesting stuff. Happy tingles.

It can definitely help with focus. I use it as background noise a lot for similar purposes.

So one of the things I never really mentioned is more ambient stuff. It doesn't necessarily give me specific ASMR brain tingles, but there's something relaxing about it. So, for example:
http://www.rainymood.com/
Another that I like is http://asoftmurmur.com/ ...it's like Rainy Mood, but has more options for sounds and sound combinations. https://www.calm.com/ also has guided meditations in addition to various soundscapes, which can definitely trigger tingles in many.
I'll go entire days at work with my earbuds in listening to these, because it helps me stay on task, and keeps me relaxed enough that I don't get tired as quickly.

These videos where a person is getting all close and "personal" and supposedly touching/examining you are awkward as hell. Can't bear to watch them.Calm.com is almost identical to what I'm hearing right now outside my window minus the water.
Everyone has their thing. I don't mind close-up vids. And this thread is probably heavy with them because I've posted most of the vids here. But there are a couple ASMRers I've seen that overtly sexualize it. Of course they have epic numbers of views, which is the point. But it's cheap. I stopped watching one in particular. She could actually induce tingles in me, but it was clear she was pandering for likes/views/subscribes.
I've heard the tingles described as a "brain orgasm" so maybe it really is a sexual thing for some. But I think it misrepresents the phenomenon, because for most it's a relaxation tool, concentration aid, or sleep aid.
