It’s not a sexual feeling to me. Not a single time. And I have more than 30 years of experience ;).

Not for me. If I want the feeling to continue for any amount of time, I have to physically and mentally stop. Moving will disrupt the feeling as well as having any internal dialogue or thoughts outside of ahhhh.

The sound of falling water, live sounds not recorded sounds have always relaxed me, made me want to sleep and sent chills up and down my body in waves. This normally will last as long as I am exposed to the elements causing the response. Often enough these stimulation causes me to be very emotional and this can lead to sexual thoughts but normally toward those in which I have emotional attachment, not just for sex alone. I still often lay on the bathroom floor and listen to the shower run and this causes immediate and strong ASMR responses. This is NEVER intended to be sexual at all BUT often it does create physical tingles in which I could then respond to and then manually arouse if I choose to do so. Interesting enough if I allow myself to move toward masturbation the ASMR responses go away and do not easily return after release. If anything I want to sleep at that moment. 99% of the time I do not move toward anything sexual because it is not what I am looking for when I engage in ASMR moments. I am wanting a stress free, “safe” zone and a place to clear my mind and think about nothing. I would imagine “if” I were to share this ASMR moment with someone it could lead to sex but I still would intend to allow the mutual ASMR experience to last as long as possible. The ASMR experience seems to be very different than a sexual experience BUT ASMR can set the tone for a sexual experience if allowed. Honestly, I enjoy them both and if they are practiced one after the other it can lead to a very relaxing day for me. Does anyone else experience ASMR with falling water sounds?

The first time I had anal sex I tingled tremendously in my face, arms and feet FOR TWO DAYS. It can absolutely be triggered by sexual things. Its not that it IS a sexual feeling or isn’t. The question is can it be triggered by sexual acts. And the answer is resoundingly a yes. Just because YOU feel it one way doesn’t mean everyone else feels.it the same way..I think we all should know better than that by now. Sex and music and little sad thoughts do it for me. I personally cant even imagine someone crinkling paper do it to me PR whispering … can’t even wrap my head around it. But that’s how it works.

For me, most of my moments have been in person when someone I know is doing my hair or make up. Sometimes it happens when someone says something really nice to me that comforts me. It just happened to me a few minutes ago when I looked at a picture if two of my friends smiling together. It isn’t sexual but I get a tingling feeling in my clitoris.
When I get ready for sex, I don’t have that feeling. Sexual feelings are more of a desire, maybe wetness or an orgasm if stimulated but never the same feeling as this. I wish that I could achieve this feeling with sex though because in a way it feels better than sex.
