On it's own ASMR is not sexual, however, if you have an ASMR response at the same time as an orgasm it does enhance the orgasm, so there is a big offshoot of ASMR videos that includes a sexual aspect. But, there are plenty of ASMR vids that aren't sexual.
It's estimated that only 30-40% of people are able to feel/achieve the ASMR response, but that's a guess. No real research has been done as many people don't believe it exists (namely people who haven't felt it). It can be triggered in several ways, but the most common way to trigger it is with soft, crinkly or subtle complex noises near the ear.
ASMR is an intense but pleasant tingling feeling that you can get in the back of the neck, and it can move upwards to the point that the tingling can spread into parts or all of the scalp area and forehead. The tingling can also move down the spine. And as I mentioned before, it can also significantly enhance orgasms if you cum while already having an ASMR response.
THC can also help trigger an ASMR response, but no research has been done to see if it triggers it in people who can already achieve it anyway or if it can help people who have never had an ASMR response, to get one.
I have severe chronic pain caused by several conditions. I once tried THC to see if it could help relieve pain. It didn't help pain, but it did do two other things:
-it helped me sleep better than any medication ever did.
-it allowed me to trigger the ASMR response just by thinking about it.
After a few uses I started to get the ability to trigger the ASMR response even without THC using just a little light meditation. It was interesting. I don't really like the feeling I get when using edibles or vaping THC oil despite the sleep benefit, so I didn't continue it, but the ancillary things it did for me have convinced me it is a drug that is worth intensive medical research. I don't believe it's a cure-all, but it definitely has legit benefits.
