I have ha ASMR ever since I was about 8 or 9. I never knew the word for it until I was in my mid-teens when looking it up on the internet.
It’s not a sexual feeling by any means (in fact have a low interest in sex) but almost a powerful ‘drug’ vibration at the back of my head. I did get an MRI for an unrelated reason so I wonder if it would be able to detect structural brain differences.
I heard somewhere that it might have to do with endorphins but I’m not too sure.
Sucks to your ASMR!
:dubious:
Little Ed is gone less than a day, and already this is what GQ has fallen to?
To the OP: Sorry, my search of academic medical sites don’t reveal much more than is in your Wiki link.
Moderator Note
It is against GQ rules to respond with a joke before the question has been answered factually.
It is against SDMB rules to insult other posters outside the Pit.
2a) It is still against SDMB rules to insult other posters even if it is intended as a joke, or is based on a quote from a book or movie.
This is rather impressive list of offenses for a four-word post. The only reason I’m making this a note instead of a warning is because you didn’t directly insult the OP. But let’s refrain from such attempts at humor in the future.
:dubious: yourself. When was the last time Little Ed was a GQ moderator? We’re still minding the store.
HAR-rumpf!

Never heard of this condition before, but are you sure it’s a real thing? That trope of* something trickling down your spine *is really old, and I guess we all can more or less relate to it; whether or not that was our actual impression at the moment.
That rolleyes was for the poster, not the mods. I have no quibble with the moderation in GQ or elsewhere.
Oh yes, even the smallest of a sound can trigger it but it’s very random and not voluntary by any means. Sometimes I have trouble focusing because it feels like being tickle near my ribs/back of the spine.
