>>36181391Well, there are kinda three levels to it. The first bit is some people get the actual ASMR response (a kind of pleasant tingling sensation in the back of your head and neck) and some don't. Fauna, for instance, actually doesn't get the ASMR response herself, but she still enjoys ASMR.
Some people also just like the sounds, Fauna is in this category. They just find certain sounds relaxing, and it's easier for them to destress and fall asleep if they can listen to those sounds they like.
And lastly, yeah. Lots of people who crave physical intimacy enjoy ASMR, because if they close their eyes it can almost even feel like there's a cute girl right next to you, whispering into your ear and pampering you.
