<p>Whispering is really uncomfortable for me too. I've always noticed that when my friend would lean in and whisper something into my ear, I would always get the tingling feeling in my lower back. I'm really intrigued by it, especially because not everyone can feel it, when I was telling my mom about it she thought it was kind of crazy. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Alex said:…</cite></p>

Lol Asmr is quite the trend now. I'm not sure if it works on me. I haven't felt tingles but i have felt myself squirm, as someone else mentioned. For relaxing I prefer white noise like water running or an air conditioner.

<p>OK so that is just the opening of the wiki page which to me seems to muddle things rather than clear them up. I've never heard of this before and it seems like, you are right, it's controversial and I still don't understand what it is (if it is anything). Some of the descriptions of random triggers (the sound of rustling paper) seem really weird, but aside from that, I have to ask: If the definition I quoted above is true, doesn't this happen to everyone? I mean, doesn't everyone get a pleasant tingling sensation around their head / back of neck when they are slightly excited about something? Happens to me, for sure. </p>
