What are ASMR roleplay videos?

ASMR roleplay videos are a subcategory of ASMR content where the creator, often referred to as an 'ASMRtist,' simulates providing personal attention to the viewer. These videos typically involve the ASMRtist acting directly to the camera as if the viewer were the recipient of a simulated service, such as having their hair styled, makeup applied, or undergoing a medical examination. Many viewers report that watching such simulations triggers the ASMR sensation, which is characterized by a pleasurable tingling feeling often accompanied by relaxation and sleepiness^[1].
