    Hello guys and girls,

    Have any of you ever thought about turning to ASMR to help abstain from PMO?

    (For those who don’t know, ASMR is videos or recordings of people (usually just one person) speaking in a very quiet voice or whisper - it can range to positive affirmations, role play, helping putting people to sleep, sounds that make you feel tingly and much more!)

    I usually listen to an ASMR video before I go to bed. I usually put on positive affirmations because, especially when you are quite solitary like I am , having somebody say to you in a gentle voice ‘you are strong’ ‘you are enough’ ‘you are beautiful’ can really be uplifting and take my mind and body off of PMO.

    I would say if you want to try ASMR but have a PMO addiction avoid the kisses/mouth sound videos because they can be triggers.

    Here are the names of two ASMR artists on YouTube whom I regularly listen to as I am going to sleep:

    FrivolousFox ASMR and ASMR darling.

    If you do listen/watch ASMR, what are your favourite types of video? Who is your favourite artist and why?

    I am eager to read what y’all have to say!

    I have been a fan of ASMR since the first videos began popping up around 2009. However, I had found that I was beginning to turn to ASMR videos when I was heavily addicted to PMO for more than just relaxation, and I know that is not the purpose of them. Nevertheless I found myself sexualizing the women in these videos, as many of them are very, very attractive. Because of this there are many ASMR content creators that I can no longer watch until I achieve my NoFap goals, and I have to be extremely cautious of the ones I do watch.

  3. Don’t think these are ASMR folks but Alicia Fairclough and Tripura Mandala videos are very relaxing and motivational.

    I did a quick search of ASMR and initially it looks like a porn sub??? I need to do more research on it.

    It’s not a porn sub. There are some people uploading videos that implement sexual themes but this is not what the videos are intended for and not what most gravitate towards. I just find it to be dangerous territory given the fact that I’ve been so used to sexualizing women, and the majority of these ASMR content creators are very attractive. I suppose if you could just listen to the audio without the visual portion of the video it wouldn’t be as triggering but I have to be weary regardless. Everything seems to be a slippery slope for me if it involves women...

  5. I understand.

    When I play an Alicia Fairclough video I have to just listen. It’s suppose to be hypnotic anyhow. But to me she’s an amazing looking woman. And she’s so nice and soothing when she talks. So I have to be careful with my looking and thinking when I go to her videos.

    Definitely should not be a porn sub! There are kissing/mouth sound videos but even those are for sound triggers that make your skin tingle, not for anything PMO as far as I know!

    I never watch the videos, just listen!
     
  8. Checked out some ASMR’s. I agree, not a porn sub.

    But the whispered voice just doesn’t do it for me. I would do better if they talked with the normal audio level like Alicia does.

    Thanks for sharing about ASMR’s.

    That’s fine! I completely understand that whispered voices can work for some and not work for others. ASMR is a bit like marmite I guess! Haha
