You know how 18th and 19th century writers would talk about swooning with pleasure or shivers of gratification or somesuch while listening to opera or eating an apple or reading a perfumed letter?
21st century people have become so deadened and numb that "delight" is now considered a rarely-vended fetish. We are all damned, every one of us, except for a few children and Stephen Fry.
This here is why I'm in love with ASMR.
I have been completely avoiding the near-infinite varieties of freakishness in the ASMR community. I think it's going to be the gift that keeps giving.
People whispering in my ear has always freaked me out and made me extremely uncomfortable. If I can feel their breath I lose motor control and flinch in horror.
