ASMR , otherwise known as "the head orgasm".

[Cuchulainn]

Yes it is you are all very strange people

[Jiro]

Cuch is just upset he's never had the feels

[Bunny]

Cuch probably feels it, he's just to drunk all the time to notice.

Her voice is ridiculously soothing.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

That's why I put it at the top of the list

[Citizen Bleys]

I'm with Cuch on this one. This is the biggest crock of trout since Confederation.

[Miriel]

Holy trout. O_O

THERE IS A NAME FOR THAT FEELING?!

i know people who get happy via head massages (i used to but it went away)
but i haven't experienced anything similar via whispers etc

[Miriel]

My mind is so blown right now.

Lone Wolf Leonhart, your videos are... uh, kinda creepy for my tastes what with the whispering and all. But I used to watch youtube makeup videos to help with insomnia. I could watch one video and it's like instant relaxation. And don't even get me started on having someone play with my hair. Hair cuts make me feel like I'm a relaxation high for HOURS afterwards. I guess this is the reason why I can watch boring ass repetitive trout and feel like I'm walking on clouds afterwards. O_o

Does getting tingles and shivers when listening to music count?

Apparently this is a related phenomenon called frisson, which I get all the time too from music. I am learning so many new things right now!

[krissy]

i get frission all over my back during that song from How to Train Your Dragon in the training sequence when they go through the recovery move

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I'm sorry you're not a fan of the videos, Miriel. I can see why people would think the whisper videos are creepy, I guess I'm so used to watching them that the thought rarely occurs to me. It probably would have helped if I put up a better variety of videos.

At least I was able to help you put a name to the feeling

I wiki'd that and yes, that's a great feeling. Get it when listening to epic sweeping music and such.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, I like my head being scratched like a puppy but that's about it. Those videos were boring.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Those videos were boring.

That's almost the idea, actually. They're intended to be calming/relaxing/soothing as a large amount of people who watch them are trying to get to sleep.

Funny thing, I was watching some Bob Ross videos a month or two ago and from there ended up YouTube linking until I ended up learning about ASMR and finding some I really liked. I don't usually get much out of it but there are three people who really do it for me and make my brain feel so tingly and good. When I was a kid I would occasionally come across someone whose voice is just tremendously compelling and made me feel so good to listen to (But not in the Sir Ian kind of way) and I never knew what to call it.

A lot of people seem to get it from sounds other than talking, which almost never do it for me by themselves. I prefer people who chat and have some sounds in there.

You already linked one of those people Cassie is great Head/Neck Massage Role-Play (Soft Spoken/ASMR) - YouTube I often listen to this before I go to bed. Not that it helps me wind my brain down any.
Sarah is also good ASMR - Salon & hair cut role play. I wash, brush, and cut your hair for you! - YouTube
ASMRAurette is great Softly Spoken: Drawing your face - YouTube Also holy crap look how cute that chick is
I don't get much ASMR joy from Violet but I like listening to her talking anyhow Hair Brushing and Relaxing Rambling - YouTube
And finally this girl is another adorkable one My Buffy Collection part 1 - YouTube Only person with that accent I genuinely like to listen to.

Yeah I'm weird.
