I choose to repond earnestly to this bait thread.
I've been listening to ASMR since before it was called that. I listened to it for pure relaxation for years before women realized the potential in binaural audio for coombait. After I got into vtubers, the jump to ASMR vtubers was automatic. For a long time, I listened exclusively for relaxation as usual, but coming from a cute anime girl added a new dimension for me as a closeted weeb. Many of them did ear licking, but it repulsed me because I wasn't familiar with it. I would leave streams as soon as I could hear saliva. I would wince and shake it off. Eventually, through exposure, I adapted and gained immunity to the disgust. My favorite JP ASMR vtubers started doing ear licking, and I chose to accept it and endure rather than drop them.
It was Poko Rakun who made me cum to ASMR for the first time. I read about all the coom ASMR the Idol girls were doing in /jidf/, but it didn't really interest me. I liked Poko though, and the hype got me. I listened her members ASMR, the one in picrel from 8 months ago, and for the majority of it I was just sitting at my PC desk like usual. Her licking and her moaning started to hit me, and when she began counting down I felt the familiar twinge and decided to take advantage, to see if I was missing out. I came so hard my nerves were singing and my brain turned to sludge. I said her name aloud. Her aftercare was so sweet while I laid in my bed quivering and useless. Poko turned me, and I love her for it.
I go back to Poko's vod occasionally, but I now also enjoy several lewd vtubers who incorporate ASMR into their content. I cum to Ally every Friday. I have a Pavlovian response to counting down.
It's been great, highly recommended.
