so its coming up on 13 years since humanity managed to figure out ASMR is a thing and as a performance artform its moved from "im pouring these different made up magic science goo on your head" to "im going to give you a detailed and precise hour long clinical assessment for ADHD"

CJ Bellwether (siege@octodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 23-Jan-2024 03:10:21 JST CJ Bellwether @GuyDudeman oh you mean like sexual asmr?
for some people care is part of their sexual needs - especially if they come from an upbringing or everyday life where that is missing or being denied.
The only negative side to it is when people especially cis guys are bad at admitting to that need so that desire bubbles up in a way that disrespects boundaries and they get creepy in trying to involve the creator.

It's its own independent psychophysiological response that some people experience and others dont. Same as how some people experience "frisson" from music. So its kind of in an area akin to synesthesia if you're trying to place it.
Studies show its likely dopamine and oxytocin thats being induced and its been shown to help ptsd, depression and insomnia.
They've been trying to figure out if theres a way to induce it in those who dont experience it due to how useful it would be regarding PTSD treatment.
