Opinion on ASMR Medical videos

I was wondering what the general opinions are here on the medical/physical exam videos that seem to be pretty popular among the ASMR community. I’m talking about either ones where they are talking directly to you and “examining” you, or those where they are examining another person. I know the whispering part of ASMR creeps a lot of people out, but for those who were able to see past it, thoughts? Does it satisfy some of your fantasies or does it simply do nothing for you? I do keep in mind there’s no physical contact for obvious reasons between the doctor and patient in this case.

For those who don’t know what ASMR is, it is basically a video where instead of talking in a normal speaking voice, the YouTuber whispers. Many of these videos are in roleplay, and medical videos are one of the popular ones. The purpose is that the videos are quiet, and are meant to calm the listener and/or help them sleep. It works for some, but not for others.

I recently discovered the ASMR thing. I'm nearly deaf, so I have to say being whispered to does nothing for me. But I THINK I can imagine why some people find it stimulating. It doesn't jibe precisely with medical exams for me because it seems to me that doctors and nurses would want to speak clearly and loud enough to make sure you hear everything.

They don't do anything at all for me.

I enjoy when sweet nothings are whispered in my ear, so I enjoy ASMR. But the medical ones I have stumbled across are males being examined….

What I would really enjoy was an ASMR female exam, especially when the camera is looking through my eyes at the examiner, as if that exam is mine.

🔥🔥🔥

For me, it depends on the video and/or my mindset going into it. Sometimes it's purely relaxing because I enjoy ASMR in general, and sometimes it's more than that.

They bring to mind M*A*S*H* episodes that were shot as if the person viewing the episode was the patient.

I really want to know if the people making these videos are aware of how many people from our community are getting off on it. I must admit it is occasionally a guilty pleasure of mine. And feels much less sleazy than trying to find a 15 year old stone fox video on a shady website.

No nudity and monotonous. if you're going to be bad, do it right.

Most of the early ASMR medical videos were about things like neuro exams or ear cleaning. Some of the people who made the videos were rather interesting and I found myself wishing they were going to examine something more exciting than ears. Recently there have been a few people that have made videos that are obviously more oriented toward Med Fet with more intimate exams that often result in the ‘patient’ becoming aroused along with reassurance from the ‘practitioner' that such reactions are normal and one shouldn’t be embarrassed. I find these to be quite interesting and like to think of myself as the one being examined.

I've tried several of them. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. The ASMR thing is something I know I do like, but I've got to be in the right headspace for it, and other parts of the video (namely, the "exam") also have to be up to snuff. Generally, though, ASMR is pretty far down the list of things I'll look at if I'm looking to get myself off.

I’ve posted elsewhere about an ASMR channel that I mostly like, because the guy is actually a physician. The role plays aren’t my thing bc it’s obvious the person doesn’t know what they’re talking about which just cheapens the whole experience imo.

He doesn’t whisper but has a calming voice, and I like that he uses the videos to educate people who are nervous about going to the doctor.

My understanding of ASMR is that it’s more than just the whisper/tingly stuff (which doesn’t work on me). It also utilizes the sense of sound as a mechanism for relaxation. So for instance some people love the sound of a doctor putting on gloves, or the bulb on sphygmomanometer as it’s squeezed. Some of the videos use relaxing nature sounds in the background to aid in reducing anxiety or falling asleep.

I peruse youtube and note "ASMR" unintentional ASMR. Couldn't figure it out. web sasy ASMR = autonomous sensory meridian response, supposed to be a tingling feeling. "ASMR' videos I found were seeing some's face, talking about the procedures 'she' was performing on the viewer. Didn't do anything for me. I can't relate to this genre

It can be somewhat exciting, depending on who the "reader" is. I've enjoyed a few. But sometimes they do go a little overboard with the whispering.

I like more student examening other people you can see. I dont like that you not see the patient beeing touch. I like the videos the student seem to make for education.

How could you not enjoy this? Many medical ASMR videos cater my little/abdl side indirectly.

I totally get your fascination with medical/physical exam videos. They can be super interesting and relaxing, right? The whispered conversations and simulated exams really have a way of creating a sense of comfort and relaxation. It's funny how different triggers work for different people. For me, it's not about any specific fantasy, but more about unwinding and de-stressing. Actually, I love ASMR videos.

RN here. Fun medical videos are for fun. Real videos, like autopsies, can show you how seemingly harmless activities, like alcohol or simple overweight, can absolutely destroy your internal organs. If more people knew what was inside them, they would be a lot healthier, and live 8-10 years longer.

I am in general not the biggest fan of ASMR, but I tried exam ASMR. And it was okay, didn't got any sexual reaction or something like that. So I never tried it again.

Love them , when you have the right person doing the video or audio file it's amazing how it gets to you and triggers all the right responses.

As a follow-up, if you’re one that likes to receive exams, it’s sorta the closest to having someone “examine” you virtually

It is a total turn off for me as the whispering is creepy and weird. If you want to convince me you are a doctor then talk in a normal articulate voice. On line exams of this nature do nothing for me at all.

ASMR doesn’t appeal or work for me either. I never get a “tingly” feeling from someone whispering. Obviously it does for others and more power to those that enjoy it. There is a lot of YouTube stuff out there about it.

I actually like some aspects of ASMR... the Turkish barbers or perhaps someone getting a massage actually do relax me. The doctor ASMR videos actually bother me... because there isn't either a patient or the exam isn't realistic enough.

The videos don't do much for me. But the real thing is almost euphoric to me when conditions are right. When I first learned what ASMR was my first thought was, oh, that's what that feeling is I get at the doctor during an exam I could never quite describe when I was younger.

Haven't found too many that were all that stimulating.
