>So how do you know if you can experience tingles or not?Well, for me my first experience actually happened in a real life situation when I was like 7 years old and went to the doctor for a regular exam. Just them taking my blood pressure and checking my eyes and ears was enough. But not everyone is the same and different things trigger different people. People theorize that ASMR is a sensation dating back to social grooming(the monkey kind not the discord kind) and is a calming effect to help people stay relaxed and still during it. My honest advice is to find a video on youtube of someone doing a ton of different triggers. Should be easy, most of them have millions of views. If you aren't horrifically turned off by the idea of having a real life man on the screen, ASMR Zeitgeist is one of my goto channels. and I'm sure some kind anons can recommend you some others either here or in the dedicated ASMR thread. I won't pretend he doesn't act a little cringe but the man does good work with triggers. Different triggers work better for different people so using one of those big compilation videos to help narrow down what, if anything, works for you is the best way to start. Some people like tapping or scratching. Some people like the sound of pages in a book being turned. Ear massages are a common trigger but not universal. I personally love the sound of ice gently clinking in a glass of water.
Put on your earbuds or headphones(I prefer the former for closeness but either works), close your eyes, try to relax and actively listen to the sounds. Don't just have it on as background noise while doing other stuff. I can't experience tingles without focusing on the sounds I'm hearing. I've never heard of anyone else who can either. Most importantly, pay attention to the volume. You don't want it to be very loud. Loud sounds are jarring and will take you out of the experience. Your normal comfortable streaming volume is probably a tad too loud for ASMR(this is why most ASMR streams tend to lower the volume on their end). I personally keep it as quiet as I can while still being able to clearly make out all the sounds I'm hearing but YMMV. If one video doesn't work, don't give up hope, just try another one because believe me there are a lot of different triggers out there. If trigger noises don't seem to work for you then you might enjoy the (non-sexual) roleplay stuff. Ephemeral Rift's channel has some frankly goofy roleplay that somehow works really damn well for me, but there are tons of options on youtube for haircuts, spa days and frankly just about anything you can imagine. If that doesn't work for you then you can try listening to some of Patra's ASMR streams. Her sound quality is undeniably top-class and maybe the mild GFE works for you. If not, try some other popular channels and see if you can find anything that gives you any sort of pleasant tingling sensation in the back of your head or neck. Whether it is sounds or roleplay. Maybe your trigger is something obscure like tapping on macadamia nuts or simply a woman putting makeup on you. If nothing seems to work then you might just be one of the unfortunate ones not neurotic enough to experience it.
>can you guys recommend me some stuff with a lot of triggers from a vtuber? Preferably 1h max and in englishUnfortunately the number of english vtubers doing trigger-based ASMR is pretty small. That or maybe its just all indies I haven't heard of before. Millie is pretty great when she's not doing scuffed streams. In my opinion her ASMR tingle-triggering skills are above Fauna's despite having a worse setup and a tendency to goof around a little too much sometimes. As another anon mentioned she doesn't speak during the streams(usually), but she does type in chat and has an unfortunately loud keyboard which can be rough. Patra's stuff is mostly triggers with mild cute talking that you don't really have to understand to understand if you know what I mean. Don't be too turned off if you see the timestamps and some of her stuff seems like the same stuff you didn't like about Fauna. She's SIGNIFICANTLY better at it so it might still work for you. This post is too long to proofread so hopefully I didn't fuck anything up too badly.
