ASMR
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is a pleasurable feeling or a sensation that people experience during a stimulating audio-visual activity, that is relaxing and deeply personal, or an activity that involves a simple, therapeutic role-play.

ASMR: The tingling sensation
ASMR is a personal, individual experience, with very little science behind it. People enjoy a deeply relaxing whispering video or a role-play, which gives them a tingling sensation on the back of their head and spine. It may be a mundane, monotonous activity like tapping, stirring, or crinkling objects, but they kick in a pleasure sensation in many.
The feeling varies and is somewhat similar to a sexual turn-on, in many cases.

The Future of ASMR
ASMR will most likely remain a niche for a number of people on the internet since not everybody experiences it.
