'Head orgasms', meditation and near-death experiences

Obviously the head orgasms caught my attention emoticon

This is a phenomenon apparently brought on by soft, sometimes "crinkly" sounds and sometimes light touching of the head.

I listened to a bit of this Face Brushing video, very soft sounds that remind me a bit of guided meditation, there is something there that is soothing and yet maintains attention with a bit of curiosity. Perhaps reminiscent of early childhood experiences or something.

A little bit of a crown tingling kind of thing, thought I'd mention it.

Yes I know lots about it. It's probably dopamine/oxytocin etc. Just like addictions if you try to stimulate it too often it will not respond. You can get it watching someone do arts and crafts, being gentle, acting nice to you, giving you attention, and whispering. I'm sure it's involved when people are addicted to seeing their doctor.

I've seen some of these videos, and I think a large part of their appeal is that you have a cute girl talking to you all whispery and intimate for 40 minutes or so. Or maybe that's just me =P. That is certainly soothing though.

This is a good example of an arts and crafts ASMR experience:
