no meditative head orgasms for me.

I've been hearing all these raves about ASMR, so I watched a bunch of the recommended videos and oh, oh lordy.

I wanted to reach through the screen and punch. I got full flesh-crawl on my neck and shoulders and my anxiety level heightened super fast.

This makes me so very sad.

Yeah, I don't think I am going to watch the videos because I am 99.9% sure I'll have the same reaction to them.

Although, I know what sensation they're talking about - I've had that sensation before just by someone being kind to me unexpectedly. I always assumed it was some sort of cortisol thing from the experience of being nurtured. Some sort of natural instinct we have to relaxing when someone shows they care so that it encourages us to continue to care about each other.
