"For most people, the airport is a place of stress headaches and rage blackouts, served with a side of indigestion from fast food and plane snacks. (Ask me about my canceled flight this past Saturday.) But for Molly Shannon, it&amp;#x27;s totally the opposite. You might even call it&amp;amp;#133;orgasmic. Watch her discuss it with Conan: So, what is this &amp;quot;head orgasm&amp;quot; thing she&amp;#x27;s talking about? Well, as she mentioned, it&amp;#x27;s called autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), and you might have seen it getting a lot of attention in the media lately. Or at least I have, because I have a Google Alert for &amp;quot;orgasm&amp;quot; for professional reasons, which makes me laugh every single day. Anyway, ASMR is a (controversial) physical sensation described as &amp;quot;distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head&amp;quot; and other parts of the body, and, yes, those who experience it do sometimes compare it to an orgasm. It&amp;#x27;s not sexual, but as Molly explains, it can be triggered by certain stimuli like sound or touch. Although scientists haven&amp;#x27;t reached a consensus as to what causes this phenomenon or even whether it exists, there&amp;#x27;s a loyal Internet following of videos that are intended to trigger the &amp;quot;bubbly&amp;quot; sensation. Videos can range from a person whispering to the sounds of someone getting a haircut to tapping noises, all of which are intended to produce the tingly effects of these &amp;quot;brain orgasms.&amp;quot; I find it kind of hard to imagine, but if it makes getting through airport security a relaxing, enjoyable experience, I&amp;#x27;m jealous. Do any of you readers ever experience ASMR or anything like it? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
