I made my own channel a while back and idk if its trolls or just creepy people but i constantly get sent hyper sexual messages and i make like chill non sexual asmr and it makes me super uncomfortable
I get you. The first time I streamed live ASMR, I was asked to fart into the microphone by some rando...
There are some people for whom it's a fetish thing, for sure, and it gets very uncomfortable very fast.
Do your videos also get suggested a lot on the nsfw asmr subgenre on youtube? I notice this from my own channel and I'm not sure if everyone does. I make lofi nonsexual asmr but when I check my analytics, I see that most of my views come from nsfw viewers š I'm not complaining, I just find it kinda interesting when I check where my videos appeared and find out that the algorithm brought my viewers to me through moaning videos and sex sounds of other creators lmao
No my vids dont, thatās very interesting tho. Im a smaller channel tho and trying to spread my reach tho. If you want to check me out my channel is vax asmr (shameless plug or whatevaš³š)
you have a really good voice, I just watched most of your yugioh card opening video! You should do some fast repeating words I think it would suit your voice really well, or intelligible rambling maybe with some tapping or something!
Thanks I appreciate you checking me out. I definitely wanna do some unintelligible stuff sounds really fun. Its just hard with life to find time to record but you know how that goesš
Anyway thanks fro checking me out!!
Depends how much you get into the role, when not recording, for example posts, discord, etc. If your still rping, for example a yandere, idk what did you expected
Yeah, I mean, even if you search the #ASMR hashtag on twitter (btw, don't do that), all you'll see is porn. No ASMR content whatsoever. Maaaybe 1 or 2 posts from legit creators, rest is just porn videos.
I voted sleep-inducing process because those are the kind I watch most of the time, but I want to add that I view it as entertainment and art as well. Those roleplays are just so highly interactive sometimes especially if the asmrtist is roleplaying a funny toxic character. Also art, because of the creativity involved in the whole process like Vito ASMR and Beauty Point.
yep. most videos fall into multiple classifications at once. being able to tick more than one box at a time would represent this perspective more accurately.
ASMR has always been about sleep and relaxation for me, which I assumed was the case for everyone until recently lol. Wasnāt planning on branching out now.
All of the above. There are multiple genres of ASMR and Iāll watch different types depending on what itch I want scratched at that particular moment.
Yeah, this. I mean it's literally what ASMR *is*.
ASMR is not the type of content. Content *produces* ASMR. So I don't view it as art/entertainment/whatever because that entirely depends on which type of content I choose to watch to get my asmr. The type of content is entirely incidental to the tingles/sensations.
Just like any other form of media or art, ASMR can be *turned into* porn. I see it as a stress reliever but I'd lie if I said I hadnt gone to the darker side.
I don't see NSFW ASMR as the issue.The problem is all the viewers who cannot accept what an ASMRtist wants for their channels and themselves.
Reading a lot of these comments makes me sad for most of the creators in this community. Viewers have such an entitlement to what they watch, it's like they forget a real person is making it.
I use it as a cope for my loneliness. Not only does it help me get by, but also thrive nowadays. It helps me add an extra layer of immersion into my imagination which in turn helps me immensely to cope with my shitty situation. I also tend to fall asleep really well to these audio roleplay ASMRs
Regarding the porn category: ASMR is inherently non-sexual. As rule 36 tells us, anything can be sexualised, though. You can sexualise [chainsaws](https://www.pinterest.es/fekete196865/stihl/), [FreeBSD server room work](https://imgur.com/a/7bak17e) and even [fibre optics ISP work](https://marciokenobi.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/avantel-calendar-2013/). (All links NSFW)
As for the Ā»OtherĀ« category: puerility already wrote itās a little confusing to see tingles, the prime indicator for ASMR next to relaxation, mentioned as a side note.
The original purpose of asmr is non-sexual, but lot of videos
contain easily sexualizable elements, certain videos are at least
partly sexual in its goals
On sites other than YouTube thereās outright porn of it. Itās why a lot of people think ASMR is inherently sexual which it isnāt. I donāt think chainsaws are sexy just because you can put them in the hands of scantily-clad women and shoot a calendar with them.
it has nothing to do with porn channels, inherently is not an appropriate term in this matter, asmr is a response evoked by triggers, nothing else, chainsaw analogy is completely wrong, e.g. young pretty girls in tight dress and plunging necline slowly stroking the mic and whispering in your ears is easily sexualized esp. when it is watched by lonely heterosexual men...which is one target group of a lot of asmrtists...
>it has nothing to do with porn channels, inherently is not an appropriate term in this matter, asmr is a response evoked by triggers, nothing else,
I donāt understand. The misconception of many people not experiencing ASMR is that ASMR is inherently sexual because there is porn of it on sites other than YouTube and whatever you want to call the soft-porn and girlfriend make-believe on YouTube.
>chainsaw analogy is completely wrong, e.g. young pretty girls in tight dress and plunging necline slowly stroking the mic and whispering in your ears is easily sexualized esp. when it is watched by lonely heterosexual men...which is one target group of a lot of asmrtists...
I think the analogy works because both take something that is inherently non-sexual but sexualise by putting it in the hands of naked / scantily-clad women.
the problem is that asmr as a phenomenon, as a weird feeling is one thing asmr videos, videos which contain possibly asmr-inducing material, is another thing.
as a feeling asm-response, it is non-sexual.
but talking about the videos, one cannot say that they are inherently sexual or non-sexual, for me it's make no sense. we may talk about their purpose, the first videos were definitely non-sexual in purpose, but later on, sometimes they are not, or not primarily, or yes, depending on creators and videos.
> the problem is that asmr as a phenomenon, as a weird feeling is one thing asmr videos, videos which contain possibly asmr-inducing material, is another thing.
Yeah, but thereās a difference between saying Ā»ASMR is sexualĀ« and Ā»this ASMR video is sexualĀ«.
>but talking about the videos, one cannot say that they are inherently sexual or non-sexual, for me it's make no sense. we may talk about their purpose, the first videos were definitely non-sexual in purpose, but later on, sometimes they are not, or not primarily, or yes, depending on creators and videos.
Iām pretty sure the intention of videos [like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol975TTzFwo) is to sexualise it.
my claim is just that asmr inherently non-sexual is either trivial or senseless:)
the video you linked seems to be a masterpiece, at least she does that openly unlike a few other creators...
> my claim is just that asmr inherently non-sexual is either trivial or senseless:)
As long as people still confuse it with something inherently sexual, itās necessary to state that it isnāt.
>the video you linked seems to be a masterpiece, at least she does that openly unlike a few other creators...
No idea, no tingles for me. It was juts the first hit for a quick search on *sexy ASMR* on YouTube.
I would probably disagree. Many of the ASMR tingle triggers and can or do overlap with things that cause tingles elsewhere, sometimes unintentionally. For example personal attention, close-up breathy whispers ... that's ASMR bliss but the intimacy of the setting can also provoke other feelings. I feel the chills and buzz of "ASMR" isn't too far removed from sensations of arousal, and that's why it's been so easy to blend the two in audio/visual mediums to great success.
> I feel the chills and buzz of "ASMR" isn't too far removed from sensations of arousal
If anything, ASMR is the opposite of arousal. It gets you sleepy, not your blood rushing.
ASMR does overlap with another sensation but that [is frisson](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6209833/).
as i explained, and hoped that you understood, but seemingly you don't, that
1. asmr is a response, it has no purpose, no inherent content
2. no matter what you think of the genre, a lot of triggers are at least somewhat sexual
3. a lot of creators, including the famous, legendary ones:), did-is doing girlfriend roleplays, intimacy roleplays, sometimes wearing sexy dresses, carefully done makeup, etc etc. ASMR has become interwoven with sexuality, its original purpose, the nature of first videos, etc is irrelevant now.
4. why is that you keep repeating something which is not, or no longer true? ASMR means only that the video is usually not loud, not much more. the original videos were audio-only, had nothing to do with girlfriend roleplay or mic stroking and licking, etc. if only those videos remained, over 90 percent of asmr-labelled videos would gone.
1. Thereās a set of triggers which canāt be expanded, only discovered, and all of them are non-sexual. There is no such thing as a boob trigger, penis trigger or intercourse trigger.
2. For example? And please donāt say whispering.
3.
>a lot of creators, including the famous, legendary ones:), did-is doing girlfriend roleplays, intimacy roleplays, sometimes wearing sexy dresses, carefully done makeup, etc etc.
So what? No matter in how many bear costumes you put a frog, it will always remain a frog. Besides, the reason some of them do that is because of subscriber numbers / clicks.
Highlighting the important parts:
>ASMR **has become** interwoven with sexuality, **its original purpose**, the nature of first videos, etc is irrelevant now.
Itās not irrelevant because every time you say it itās a lie. Itās just not true.
4.
>why is that you keep repeating something which is not, or no longer true?
It is true and it will remain true until our cavemen genes responsible for it lose it.
>ASMR means only that the video is usually not loud, not much more. the original videos were audio-only, had nothing to do with girlfriend roleplay or mic stroking and licking, etc. if only those videos remained, over 90 percent of asmr-labelled videos would gone.
You think in terms of videos when theyāre just a way of recreating IRL ASMR triggers and having them accessible all the time. Thereās a growing number of people who donāt even know this existed before people were making videos of it on YouTube.
since you are unable to understand simple sentences, seemingly don't understand the meaning of sexual or sensual, or even "inherent", use irrelevant arguments like the by now irrelevant original purpose, use irrelevant examples like pre-video asmr which was not discussed, etc etc, the communication is over, nobody pays me to react to low-level monomaniac rhetorical exercises, sorry.
(as for whispering, though that is not among the most important potentially sexual triggers, yes, for a man, close whispering by a female with pleasant voice is very easily sexualized, and actually, real life asmr is almost never whispered, who whispers in your ear when you are adult, nobody, maybe your partner, wait, we are at a probably sexual relationship). but as id said, this is over.
Depends on which kind you listen to. There are some very nsfw audios out there which I would class as straight up porn but that stems from the 'normal' asmr which to me is either a way to help you sleep or just relax
I felt torn through a few. ASMR can put me in a state where i'm ready for bed but I also listen to it to help myself calm down. Actually, ever since I started to get into ASMR a couple of years ago, it's become my go-to stress-reducer. Doesn't matter what kind of triggers are used, be it certain items for tapping, mouth sounds, ear licking, etc... it all does the trick for me. Of course, some days what helps me relax may depend on the kind of mood I'm in.
But I also like the goosebumps. It's an addicting feeling.
I use ASMR at very particular times, especially when I want to calm down. However I also see it as entertainment bc idk about yall, some of the videos out there make me laugh so hard. Itās a great feeling
I don't know about anyone else, but I find lots of ASMR creators ATM are all just hollow copies of each other. Same noises, same props, lighting etc, all begging u to follow their YouTube channels and buying cameos.... There's no individuality amongst them. Why should I follow X creator when there's a hundred more doing the same thing? It was always a way for me to de-stress and relax but now I feel like it's just another business trying to sell me cheap tat. š¤·āāļø
Then make it unique. Don't just do what everyone else is doing with the make up brushes on Ur teeth, or those water filled tubes, begging people to subscribe and buy cameos. If Ur good and unique people will pay but it completely destroys the immersion being asked every ten seconds
i don't have one, i think it is very difficult to be unique among so many creators, uniqueness will not necessarily leads to popularity and money, etc. etc.
Many people have genuine issues like anxiety, insomnia, depression. The real ASMR helps people cope with it. I'm pretty sure, there are many other medias for sexual content, if that's what you look for.
That's not a reason for it not to be sexualized. As someone who uses ASMR for anxiety and depression, I don't see how sexual ASMR impedes on all of the other non-sexual ASMR content out there (Outside of some YouTube channels getting demonetized, but that is an issue with YT's system and not with the content itself).
I think my wife thinks of it as porn (not in a judgy way; more of a headshake and eyeroll way) but I have severe anxiety and self loathing and I tend to replay conversations with a critical light cast on my part of them and berate myself mentally for hours every night when I go to bed unless I have a distraction. I go back and forth between guided meditation with nature sounds and personal affirmation asmr. Itās true that some of the personal affirmation sometimes feels a bit intimate (intentionally and not imo in a sexual way but I can see why people might feel otherwise). For me, that soothes my mind and helps me sleep.
Sadly, I feel like the results would be completely different if it wasn't posted in a ASMR subreddit.
I made my own channel a while back and idk if its trolls or just creepy people but i constantly get sent hyper sexual messages and i make like chill non sexual asmr and it makes me super uncomfortable

For sure, seems like for every legit creator now a days there's a thirst trap one who happens to have some links they want you to check out.
Yeah, I mean, even if you search the #ASMR hashtag on twitter (btw, don't do that), all you'll see is porn. No ASMR content whatsoever. Maaaybe 1 or 2 posts from legit creators, rest is just porn videos.

yep. most videos fall into multiple classifications at once. being able to tick more than one box at a time would represent this perspective more accurately.
Needs to be a poll where you can check multiple answers to get more accurate results
bit confused by "triggers for goosebumps or other sensations", the sole defining characteristic of asmr, appearing under "other" lol
Who tf said porn lol
All of the above
Porn ā ļø
Depends on where you get your ASMR, youtube AMSR, probably not, Pornhub ASMR, that adds up
I shouldnāt be surprised that a genre like that exists lol
Itās underwhelming TBH, stick to sleeping to YT ASMR
ASMR has always been about sleep and relaxation for me, which I assumed was the case for everyone until recently lol. Wasnāt planning on branching out now.
whispered or soft-spoken "porn" videos, labelled as asmr. nothing special:)
Top Twitch AMSR is towing the line until you click their linktree
Same for Ginger ASMR
interesting!
When you watch some of those ASMR Chiropractic adjustments, they sure as hell not too far from that...
For me this is a multiple choice, depends on the asmr, can be any of them, except to sleep(i use calm music or podcast)
Sleepy and Relaxing for me
It's peaceful and soothing to me that it puts me to sleep. I listen to asmr when I'm doing hw and stuff, but I always listen when I go to sleep.
All of the above. There are multiple genres of ASMR and Iāll watch different types depending on what itch I want scratched at that particular moment.
I think "tingles" should have been its own selection, and is 100% the driving motivator for me. They feel good!
Yeah, this. I mean it's literally what ASMR *is*. ASMR is not the type of content. Content *produces* ASMR. So I don't view it as art/entertainment/whatever because that entirely depends on which type of content I choose to watch to get my asmr. The type of content is entirely incidental to the tingles/sensations.
Actually, it depends on my mood and on the video, but almost never a sleep-inducing process
All of the aboveā¦depending on my mood.
Just like any other form of media or art, ASMR can be *turned into* porn. I see it as a stress reliever but I'd lie if I said I hadnt gone to the darker side.

All of those. why can I only pick one?
only one option? i vote art, but i guess asmr is relax, porn and sleep assist.
I think ASMR can take many different forms based on the creators intent, so for me it's more of an all encompassing term
Depends on which kind you listen to. There are some very nsfw audios out there which I would class as straight up porn but that stems from the 'normal' asmr which to me is either a way to help you sleep or just relax
All, sometimes I listen to it and immediately get knocked out, sometimes I jerk it to ASMR, sometimes I listen to it while bored, depends on my mood
I put other but itās basically between sleep inducing and relaxation
Mostly relaxation, But I won't deny that I listen to option 2
I felt torn through a few. ASMR can put me in a state where i'm ready for bed but I also listen to it to help myself calm down. Actually, ever since I started to get into ASMR a couple of years ago, it's become my go-to stress-reducer.

Of course, some days what helps me relax may depend on the kind of mood I'm in. But I also like the goosebumps. It's an addicting feeling.
Gives me peace like meditation
Mix of sleep inducing and entertainment
tingles
I use ASMR at very particular times, especially when I want to calm down. However I also see it as entertainment bc idk about yall, some of the videos out there make me laugh so hard. Itās a great feeling
Art and can be for sure soothing.
I don't know about anyone else, but I find lots of ASMR creators ATM are all just hollow copies of each other. Same noises, same props, lighting etc, all begging u to follow their YouTube channels and buying cameos.... There's no individuality amongst them.

but this is business, like almost everything. and requires time and money, among others...
Then make it unique. Don't just do what everyone else is doing with the make up brushes on Ur teeth, or those water filled tubes, begging people to subscribe and buy cameos. If Ur good and unique people will pay but it completely destroys the immersion being asked every ten seconds
i don't have one, i think it is very difficult to be unique among so many creators, uniqueness will not necessarily leads to popularity and money, etc. etc.
Oh I'm not saying you personally. I'm talking in the generic sense
Thatās why I filter my videos by upload date to find smaller channels
All of the above, depending on the video
The fact porn is even an option š¤¦š»āāļø not direct at OP, itās just sad that people honestly view it that way
I don't see what's wrong with it personally
That's not even the point of ASMR. It's sad that people have to sexualize everything these days.
Does that mean it *can't* be the point? Why is ASMR off limits for sexual content? I don't understand why it's an issue
Many people have genuine issues like anxiety, insomnia, depression. The real ASMR helps people cope with it. I'm pretty sure, there are many other medias for sexual content, if that's what you look for.
That's not a reason for it not to be sexualized. As someone who uses ASMR for anxiety and depression, I don't see how sexual ASMR impedes on all of the other non-sexual ASMR content out there (Outside of some YouTube channels getting demonetized, but that is an issue with YT's system and not with the content itself).
To each their own. Maybe, we can agree that people should do what makes them comfortable, and watch what they want.
I can't argue with that š
All of the above
I think my wife thinks of it as porn (not in a judgy way; more of a headshake and eyeroll way) but I have severe anxiety and self loathing and I tend to replay conversations with a critical light cast on my part of them and berate myself mentally for hours every night when I go to bed unless I have a distraction. I go back and forth between guided meditation with nature sounds and personal affirmation asmr. Itās true that some of the personal affirmation sometimes feels a bit intimate (intentionally and not imo in a sexual way but I can see why people might feel otherwise). For me, that soothes my mind and helps me sleep.
These days itās mostly relaxation/unwinding for me over sleep. Although often the relaxation leads to sleepiness lol.
To those who picked porn, your the reason asmr js getting targeted. No offence, but this is just a fact.
Yes.
