I think I'll just stick with looking at other people's embarrassing moments instead of partaking in them myself.
An absolute classic for those that can appreciate it, is Clayton Cubitt's so-called video art project "Hysterical Literature", which can be found on YouTube. For those who are curious, look for the links designated as "official", easily recognized, since these are posted by the artist himself.
Sessions 1, 3, 9 and 12 are the most appealing ones, in my humble opinion. The after credits closing line of session 9 is perhaps unintentionally funny. Then again: I've got a weird sense of humor, so don't go expecting the moon, and being all disappointed afterwards...
Another golden oldie is "Ecstatic Recipes" with Jenny Smith, also found on YouTube.
But I'll stop here with the weird video recommendations...

This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
@ReaderRagfihs Well, as far as I know ASMR is literally just a natural, usually comforting, body response to certain sensory triggers, and everybody experiences it.
How people go on about getting it is kinda up to them.
In fact, there was an ASMR ad during the Super Bowl...
Be yourself, no matter who you are!
For me, that's being madly in love with fictional characters. Plz don't judge.
Yes, my first anime was High School DxD. Don't ask or judge!

@GyroZeppeli Yeah, that was it: ASMR. Thanks for the reminder. I was close, though...
@Delibheel You're pretty close with your assessment of ASMR: unlike some people think, it isn't really about what they're whispering, it's just about soft noises, basically.
It actually started off with people softly scratching all kinds of various surfaces/textures near a microphone, creating all kinds of different soft, "grindy" noises, which does indeed seem to trigger some primal relax response in the brain.
But not too long after that, people found out, that while some like the soft noises, others get more relaxed by listening to soft voices (and as someone already mentioned, that naturally also added a bit of an erotic layer), and as such, a new hype was born. The subject really doesn't matter: the really good ones could be reading the phone book, or even your tax bills, although the latter won't be particularly relaxing for most of us, but I'm sure you'll get the point.
@ReaderRagfihs Oh, agreed on Imgur, sometimes links from there don't even display on here, saying the link doesn't work and what not. Never had any issues with PostImage degrading my images, though. But maybe it does, but the effect is so minimal, that I never noticed. I'd have to put an original and posted image next to each other to find out if that's true. Might actually try that some day...
P.S.
If you thought that Wii-related ASMR is weird, you should give what I posted in comment #26,922 a try.
Trust me: your world will NEVER be the same again...
@ReaderRagfihs Haha, yeah.... they're not just black & white videos, they're literally a grey area in some ways. Nothing is shown, but the audio isn't exactly safe for work. But they're kinda weirdly fun to watch, some even entrancing, when in the right mood, and at least they're genuine, which is what I can appreciate, whereas the whole whispering stupid stuff into a microphone feels both rather silly and creepy to me, and not at all enticing, even if some of these channels are probably trying to achieve just that, contrary to the whole "it'll relax you" label.
But when you read the description of them on the artist's website, well... yeah, he may be serious about what he tried to achieve or show, but for me it's just about if women are able to keep their focus on reading while being "otherwise" entertained...
Anyways, there's nothing in any of them to be worried about, for any appreciative man. Well, if you appreciate feminine beauty, anyway. Not even a single second of vulgarity or explicit content is featured in them, and there couldn't be, seeing as they are on YouTube, and have been for quite some time, so they would have long since been removed if there was anything offensive in them.
Just go home, watch one or a few of them, I already pointed out some good ones, in my view at least, and you'll see. Oh, and don't forget Ecstatic Recipes with Jenny Smith....
@Blitzenexx Welcome to the jungle, baby. You gotta jive....
(I've literally no idea why I'm quoting Guns & Roses here, but it seems appropriate in this case)
I can imagine you thinking you've landed on some 4chan page, or any other shady forum, but no, it's still just the chit-chat thread here on NLife...
I guess when you've discussed all the mundane at some point, chit-chat goes into areas that, although plainly featured on YouTube and the like, are still largely frowned upon. Still fun to discuss, though.
(well, at least: I think so)
@Blitzenexx Yeah, the label was a bit too harsh, but the first thing that came into my mind when thinking about forums with weird and questionable content, was 4chan, seeing as that is mostly mentioned in relation to stuff like that. Never even been to 4chan (and seeing as I don't like viruses, I probably never will either), but it has apparently already nestled itself in my brain as a prime candidate to appoint as a guilty party...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
I've never visited 4chan, but someone who did infected a couple of PCs at my college in one of the computer labs. They were decently specced since some of the animation and modeling students used them. The instructor was NOT happy.
