"If you ask me, having an orgasm is one of the best ways to relieve stress. Yet, watching porn is the last thing I want to do after a long and grueling day. My days are already filled with too much screen time, and exacerbating my eye strain to watch pornography and get off feels like more energy than it’s worth. After sharing this plight with my girls, they agreed that ASMR porn was the alternative I needed—but I was skeptical. I’d never understood the ASMR hype, nor did I experience the “head gasms” everyone was raving about. The idea that having a dirty story whispered in my ear could help me climax was laughable.
Shockingly, I was wrong in my judgment. Listening to ASMR porn was a transformative experience, and one that changed my sex life for the better. So, now I’m paying it forward and sharing everything you need to know about the topic, too. Ahead, a detailed breakdown of what ASMR porn is, my personal experience with it, and why you should be listening to it for better sex.
What is ASMR porn?
ASMR porn is similar to audio erotica in the sense that both are forms of sensual storytelling. Likewise, they also rely on auditory rather than visual triggers for sexual stimulation. However, this is where the similarities end. Unlike audio erotica that utilizes a variety of sounds, ASMR porn uses fully whispered and breathy narration. Whispering and breath sounds are classic ASMR sounds known to promote relaxation and, for some people, elicit a “tingling” sensation that starts at the scalp and travels downward. When applied to porn, these sounds create a high-sensory sexual experience that can boost arousal and enhance your orgasm.
How ASMR porn upgraded my solo and partnered sex
Recently, I had an epiphany about my sex life: I’m in my element when I’m in charge. Watching porn fits into that preference nicely; I know exactly what to expect since I’m the one who inputs the search criteria and clicks the video. But ASMR porn, in contrast, has none of that predictability. Instead, it provides an overview of the content but leaves you guessing on what will happen next.
Ironically, I found this unpredictably utterly enthralling. Like a good book or TV show, ASMR porn masterfully builds suspense until you’re on the brink of climax and desperate for a release. It was a masterclass in the art of edging, and my orgasming was next-level. Plus, it prevented me from orgasming too quickly, which always sours my mood because I love taking my time.
“Listening to the sexy, breathy narration stirred something inside of me I didn’t know existed.”
Lastly, listening helped me fully tap into my sense of sound. Oftentimes, I’m largely focused on what I’m seeing or feeling and subsequently forget to truly register what I’m hearing, too. Since ASMR porn is fully auditory, listening to the sexy, breathy narration stirred something inside of me I didn’t know existed; it was a serious turn-on and amplified my arousal. The cherry on top, though, is that it’s enhanced my partnered play, too. I’ve been inspired to kick up the whispery dirty talk with my partner, and I love how his whispers create a tingling sensation that can be felt throughout my body, too. This quiet, sexy, dirty talk is something we’ve started to incorporate regularly, and trust me when I say that it is hot.
Why you should try ASMR porn
If you want to give your sex life a refresh, listening to ASMR porn is the perfect solution. It’s a nice alternative to traditional porn, and it will help you step outside of your sexual comfort zone during solo and partnered play. Trying something new is the best way to learn more about yourself and your sensuality. Plus, listening to ASMR porn can be helpful if you don’t feel comfortable watching porn. Ethical porn websites like Sssh.com and FrolicMe are phenomenal resources, and the content is made with the female gaze in mind. It doesn’t gloss over sexual initiation or foreplay the way mainstream heterosexual porn does which I’ve really appreciated. So, if you want to try something new and you’re looking to have an orgasm that sends a tingle down your spine, I urge you to try it, especially if you’re an ASMR skeptic like I was.
