ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is described as a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It is a pleasant form of paresthesia characterized by 'low-grade euphoria' and a 'static-like tingling sensation on the skin,' often triggered by specific auditory stimuli, though it can also arise from intentional attention control. The experience is generally non-sexual and has been differentiated from sexual arousal, despite some content being created specifically for this purpose, termed 'ASMRotica' [1]. ASMR can be elicited by various triggers, including soft speaking, tapping sounds, and receiving personal attention, and is often used as a mechanism for relaxation and stress relief.
