ASMR

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is, within BDSM and fetishism, a sensory fetish and form of stimulation in which specific sounds, movements, or textures evoke a strong physical and mental response. This response can be relaxing, but also explicitly arousing, depending on the type of stimulus, the context, and personal sensitivity. ASMR is used to enhance tension, desire, focus, and surrender.
