Slurp Munch and Chew: Its Time to Eat

     Sometimes something as little as the repetition of chewing gum can be soothing. The rhythmic action of the trivial act of chewing on a piece of gum can be comforting. Something that a number of people actually do subconsciously. I actually know of people who chew gum during workouts. Keeps them somewhat calm and in control.
     Eating or chewing in an ASMR video is something that some hate yet some love. Of all the videos I've seen, this is the one genre where the number of people who like and dislike it vary the most.
     Ignoring ASMR videos for a quick moment, I know that the internet is a petri dish for weird and sometimes there are movements of what some would call strange and it might just be the cause of a lack of understanding. You start to comprehend it and all of a sudden it becomes less weird. If you ever caught yourself trying to explain something but not before prefacing that whatever you're about to say is not weird or that you used to think it was weird I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Surely we've all seen something like that on the internet.
     Maybe some viewers like to eat while the video is playing in the background so that they don't feel lonely while doing so. Perhaps they just find the gushy sounds of chewing and lip smacking to be music to their ears. If you ever start to wonder yourself, here are some videos for you to check out.

Roleplay: Tingle Foreplay

     I hope the title of this blog doesn't give you the wrong idea. Just wanted your attention.

Role-play is one of the biggest triggers for people from what I can tell in comment sections and forums. 

     Essentially what Role-play videos do is the video is shot in first person point of view and you, the viewer, are essentially supposed to be the person the ASMRtist is talking to. This kind of view creates a closer relationship with the viewer and they are able to put themselves in their shoes. This added dimension to the video is what get people so relaxed. In these videos in particular i read about people who have sleeping disorders or just anxiety get help through these videos. 

As always I'll leave you with some examples.
