Feelings inside yourself: perception of your own energy structure. Movements etheric body and his sensations A person brought up in a materialistic society is not accustomed to recording those of his sensations that seem to lie outside the sphere of the material. And what's more, he doesn't

Field sensations A tactile sensation of a field occurs when a hand, accustomed to energy-informational sensations, approaches an object - usually a living one, for example, another hand. It is usually perceived as a feeling of vibration, change in temperature or pressure in the skin

For several years now, scientists have been studying this phenomenon - pleasant sounds help people relax. Each of us has at least once experienced this pleasant feeling caused by... easy breathing in the ear, the sounds of a lullaby or the rustling of pages. When you feel a pleasant tingling sensation on the back of your head, back, head, arms. There are many different names for this condition: “brain stroking”, “brain tickling”, “braingasm”. This is ASMR, literally – Autonomous Sensory Meridian Responses. But why exactly does this feeling have a calming effect on us?

The nature of the phenomenon is still unclear and has no scientific explanation. But there are already millions around the world who want to experience it again and again, and their army is only growing. They watch special videos where various sounds are simulated. After all, convey touches and others tactile sensations Via the Internet it is not yet possible, but sound is easy. This is what the creators of ASMR videos take advantage of. The popularity of these videos is phenomenal. Millions of views, thousands of fans and sites dedicated to specific sounds. There are fans of “breath”, fans of “click”, “knock on wood”, etc.

ASMR videos may well replace meditation and become a new anti-stress

New Youtube stars - ASMRists (people who record ASMR videos) use special highly sensitive equipment and binaural microphones to record sound. They tickle the “ear” of the virtual viewer with a fluffy pussy or wrap it in cellophane, imitate the sound of beads knocking against each other or popping bubbles chewing gum. All the characters in the video speak very quietly or in a whisper, move slowly, as if plunging you into a meditative state and making you anticipate those very “goosebumps”.

Surprisingly, such videos really help you relax, this has already been proven by scientific research. So ASMR videos may well replace meditation and become a new anti-stress. They are even recommended as part of therapy for sleep disorders or severe stress.

How it works

Actually, sound is one of many triggers - stimuli that cause a certain reaction: someone is hooked foreign language or words in Russian spoken with a foreign accent. Every fan of ASMR videos has their own thing: someone feels a “tickling of the brain” thanks to an aspirated whisper in the ear. Others melt when they hear the sound of nails tapping on textured objects or the sound of scissors. Still others experience “braingasm” when they become the object of someone’s care – a doctor, a cosmetologist, a hairdresser.

Despite its provocative name, ASMR has nothing to do with sexual pleasure

In the United States, people first started talking about ASMR in 2010, when American student Jennifer Allen proposed calling the pleasant sensations from sound a “brain orgasm.” And already in 2012, this seemingly frivolous topic was discussed scientific conference in London. This fall, a congress dedicated to brainasm was held in Australia. Now a whole group of Australian scientists will study this phenomenon and its impact on people.

Russia has its own ASMRists, ASMR clubs, and websites dedicated to the phenomenon. In the video you can not only hear sounds, but also be in the role of an object that is “touched,” massaged, or read aloud. This creates the illusion that the author of the video communicates only with the viewer and does it especially for him.

Impact on emotions

Despite its provocative name, ASMR has nothing to do with sexual pleasure. This pleasure is caused mainly by visual, auditory and tactile stimuli that “excite” our brain. Such an irritant can occur anywhere: on the street, in the office, on TV. It is enough to hear someone's pleasant voice, and you feel pleasure and peace of mind from hearing it.

Not everyone can experience it

It is possible that your brain will not respond to any of the triggers at all, but it happens that the reaction comes instantly. From this we can conclude that the phenomenon cannot be controlled. What can this feeling be compared to? If you have ever used a head massager, you will be able to understand that the sensations are similar, only in in this case you are “massaged” by sounds.

The most popular sounds: whispering, rustling pages, knocking on wood or on an earphone

Each of us reacts to stimuli differently and with varying intensity. The more sensitive a person is by nature, the more likely they are to enjoy ASMR.

Psychology or pseudoscience?

Psychologists Emma Blackie, Julia Poerio, Tom Hostler and Teresa Veltri from the University of Sheffield (UK) are studying this phenomenon; this year they collected data on physiological indicators that affect ASMR, including heart rate, breathing, and skin sensitivity. Three of the research team experience ASMR, but one of the scientists does not.

“One of our goals is to try to draw attention to ASMR as a topic worthy of scientific research. Three of us (Emma, ​​Julia and Tom) have experienced its effects on ourselves, while Teresa does not recognize this phenomenon, the psychologists explain. – It adds variety. It is no secret that some scientists call these studies pseudoscientific. The fact is that there are those who speculate on a still little-studied topic in order to make a name for themselves.”

But the results of psychologists at the University of Sheffield are quite eloquent. “We finished collecting data, and the first results showed that 69% of respondents got rid of the consequences of moderate and severe depression by watching ASMR videos,” summed up one of the study participants. - And still needed extra work to determine whether ASMR could be a therapy for cases of clinical depression. Be that as it may, this phenomenon is interesting for psychologists, and we plan to study it further.”

Hello Renata.

In fact, similar questions arise in the lives of most women, why, while always experiencing an orgasm during clitoral stimulation, during sexual intercourse they rarely experience an orgasm, or cannot experience it at all. Unfortunately, there is no definite answer; everyone needs to look for their own solution, on their own or in an in-person consultation with a psychologist or sexologist. But I'll try to describe it anyway possible options reasons and solutions.

For starters, age. With all the advantages of youth, your sexuality is just beginning to take shape. This is the time to study your body, your desires and fantasies, experiment and find what will give you the most pleasure. enough a large number of women begin to experience orgasm after 25-30 years, when accumulated sufficient experience, a woman knows what she wants and how she wants to get it.

Another very important point is your relationship. They may be beautiful and cloudless, but can you openly tell each other about the most frank sexual fantasy, without unnecessary “well, you understand,” explain what you need this moment want and how a partner should act. If yes, then usually problems do not arise at all, if not, then learn to trust each other with your most secret things. By the way, intimate games and corresponding toys contribute to this; it is an adventure experienced together, which leaves a lot of memories. You can get oils and creams for a sensual preparatory massage, and then, if desired, you can blindfold one partner, take brushes for stroking, you can arm your partner with a dildo, and together look for the pace and depth at which the sensations are more pleasant, you can add clitoral stimulation so that the partner can It’s good to understand what kind of caresses you like.

You can do gymnastics on your own, this improves blood supply and the condition of the vaginal muscles. For 3-4 weeks, every day, every hour, do 30 contractions of the vagina (together with the muscle anus): pulls the muscle in for 5 counts, holds it for 5 counts, slowly relaxes for 5 counts, rests for 5 counts. There are 30 cuts in total. Takes a minute. You can do contractions while sitting, standing, lying down - and they are invisible to others, so you can do them in any environment. The main thing is to do it regularly, and not leave it for later, so that by the evening you can do everything at once. daily norm. At night - no need, rest. Gymnastics improves the flow of blood (and oxygen) to potentially sensitive areas- their sensitivity will gradually increase. You yourself will feel that the retractions will become more pleasant - it is not known whether from the tenth retraction or from the twentieth day. Plus, the vagina will wrap around the penis more tightly - and this will give additional sensations.

One more thing, why are you not satisfied with clitoral orgasm? After all, if during normal sexual intercourse the partner additionally stimulates the clitoris, the sensations will be more than pleasant. Orgasm may not work the first time with the insertion of the penis and stimulation of the clitoris, but little by little you will get used to the new sensations and learn to experience orgasm in a new way. As an option - first clitoral stimulation, and just before orgasm - insertion of the penis (the first time the penis is inserted, pleasant sensations may disappear, but if you relax and continue, everything will work out). Over time, you will be able to have an orgasm without clitoral stimulation (although the sensations are completely different and you shouldn’t give it up at all).

And don’t delay simulating an orgasm; the longer you remain silent (and your husband is confident that he is acting correctly and you are happy with sex), the more difficult it will be to later tell you that you did not experience pleasant sensations. It’s not even that important whether it’s a clitoral or vaginal orgasm, but sex should be enjoyable. Tell it like it is now and look for a solution together. It would be faster to find an option that suits you during a face-to-face consultation; I hope some of the above will be useful to you.
