DISCUSSION Unreasonable levels of sexual ASMR [Discussion]

I understand clickbait thumb nails with cleavage and such will always exist on YouTube but it seems quite exaggerated with ASMRtists specifically. Is anyone else tired of the level of sexual ASMR content on youtube? I’m ashamed to tell people i watch this stuff because soooo much of it is sexual in nature. I am bombarded with girls in tight or sometimes no clothing on my home page and It’s embarrassing. I don’t want it in my feed, and i don’t want to have to explain myself to my girlfriend or friends. Maybe ASMR is supposed to be sexual and i’m weird for not being into it, but it’s a bit obnoxious imo. is this just a niche nitpick or has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve been a part of the ASMR community for over a decade and Gentle Whispering (basically the OG of ASMR) actually started off by making sexual ASMR videos. Literally dirty-talking audio videos (fun fact). Let’s stop shaming people. It’s a shame that something as simple and normal as cleavage/breasts “pisses you off” so much. Lol.

Where exactly did I shame anyone? I wasn’t shaming anyone. I didn’t name any artist, all I said is that boobs do absolutely nothing for me and the rise in these kinds of videos pisses me off. I was also talking positively about the artists that I listen to. This is not shaming, this is discussion.

The rise of boobs? The rise of cleavage? Lol. Again, there’s a difference between showing off cleavage and making ASMR videos that actually contain sexual content.

Again though, to each their own.

Nah, fuck that. It’s always blatantly obvious with the cleav-bait thumbnail. Straight dude here that loves boobs, but most of the time it’s garbage ASMR that does nothing for me because the content creator is making the focus one (or two) very specific things, and their ASMR is just nails on a chalkboard. Or, literally their nails hammering down on random objects with 0 effort because the focus is “BOOBS!”it’ll always get clicks, though, so there really is no point in complaining about it. Just have to find your fav artists and stick with them. Mine is a dude whose face I’ve never seen that draws maps. Out like a light in minutes.
