For me, ASMR feels like the sensation you get when someone’s playing with your hair, or getting a massage, both of which *could* be sexual, but most of the time, aren’t

To me ASMR is sexual. The only purpose for why I view these videos is for sexual release.
The first time I came across an ASMR video was a few weeks ago by accident. What happened was I was on YouTube, looking at other videos that would get me sexually excited. In YouTube, looking at one video always leads to another and I found myself looking at an ASMR video all of a sudden.
I got so aroused, probably to an extent that I haven’t experienced before. All she did was whisper into that special, hyper-sensitive microphone that most of these “Artists” use to heighten the experience.
She was whispering, making a whole bunch of kissing noises, speaking very softly and looking right into the camera as she was doing so. So I looked for more ASMR videos and I found that a whole bunch of other ones were just like that one.
If a woman is making these noises with her mouth, it sounds like she’s licking your ears and neck. She makes the most innocent words sound sexual while she’s whispering. Some are showing cleavage while she’s doing all of this.
There are times when the woman would put on plastic gloves, puts some oil on it, and starts to rub her hands together. The sound that makes makes it sound like she’s doing something very sexual to my already-erect penis. The sound that makes makes it sound like she’s slurping on it. A lot of times the woman is looking downward, away from the camera as it’s happening.
While she’s not saying anything sexual, just the way it looks and sounds suggests otherwise.
I’m not saying that ASMR is solely sexual. What I am saying is that sexual arousal definitely plays a role into why this is as popular as it is.
I always look at these female ASMRtists videos right before I go to sleep to “rub one out” if you will. I can’t go to sleep unless I do that first.
I think a lot of people (men) get sexually excited by this, but might be to ashamed to admit to it, or fear that there will be some backlash against him for expressing that opinion. To me, ASMR is highly sexual. As this gets more and more popular, more and more people will find reasons to think that this is a sexual motivator to get them as aroused.

-Does your ASMR feel the same as a sexual response?
Not in the least. some people have described it as being similar to an orgasm, but i just do not understand the association. It does have a similar euphoric after-buzz but that’s it. I would associate it more with the high that I get after working out, when my muscles are kind of buzzing from the surge of energy, but even that is pretty far off from what ASMR feels like.
-How is your ASMR similar to a sexual response?
Like i said above, i feel pretty happy and light after experiencing ASMR, similar to the feeling after sexual release but not much else is similar.
-How is your ASMR different from a sexual response?
In pretty much every other way.

Sexual arousal usually don’t get you to sleep whereas ASMR does, at least for me…
It is true that I, too, am more triggered by male voices, being a straight female, but a lot of sounds or else triggers me equally, and I am not a fetichist. Moreover, mouth noises, reminding me of sexuality, get on my nerve.
It’s like an orgasm in a way, because it comes by waves, it’s kind of a contraction of some cerebral muscle (which, I’m pretty sure, doesn’t exist).
However, some triggers might be triggers for sexual arousal for some people,and there might lie the misconception of it.
Therefore, I don’t consider ASMR as a part of my sexuality!

For us, ASMR has never been an erotic sensation. It is, in our experience at least, a sensation that is deeply physiological and vividly inherent so it is easy for us to understand, how some others may experience that deep sensation differently.
