• ASMR is about triggering brain buzz. It’s related to intimacy and is sex-adjacent. I discovered it when a kid I was watching decided she wanted to comb my hair, and yeah, I think it figures into why we want to hang around childen even when they’re squalling and obnoxious.

      • I’ve seen the what reply since the 1990s and still don’t know what it means. I assume I offended your sensibilities somehow, but do observe we obviously are not speaking the same language.

          Pretty sure it was because you said you discovered something sex adjacent (your words) while interacting with a kid you were watching lol

          Which, yeah, is pretty worthy of a “what”
