Do you get head tinglies during haircuts? Do pages turning or paper crinkling give you an unexplainable buzz? Friend, you may be experiencing ASMR. Read all about it in Grace Allison’s guest comic on Oh Joy Sex Toy!
This comic brought to you by the support of my patrons on Patreon, thanks guys!
A great and informative comic about ASMR!
Huh. So, I went to Good Ol’ Youtube to learn more about this, wondering if ASMR was related to the weird (mostly unpleasant) sensations I get when I watch injections or piercing. (You never want me to come with you to a piercing or tattoo appointment, because I will twitch my head and shoulders uncontrollably to block out the sensations.) Turns out no, ASMR is similar, but not nearly so intense or unpleasant. (Though it can veer into it if I pay too close attention.)
And that’s how I ended up accidentally feeling much better and more relaxed after an emotional day. Thanks, random ASMR people on Youtube! I learned something new today!
I actually have heard of this before, but I thought my readers might not have.
(Be careful of those “roleplaying close personal attention” ones. The first explanation of ASMR I came across included a link to one of those, and my reaction to it was not so much “ooh nice” as “oh god she’s coming through the fourth wall to get me *tries to back away through the couch*”.)
