Sex may permeate our popular culture, but conversations on the topic are still associated with stigma and shame in Indian households. As a result, most people facing sexual health issues or trying to find information about sex often turn to unverified online sources or follow unscientific advice from their friends. To address the widespread misinformation about sex, News18.com publishes this weekly column on sex titled “Let’s Talk About Sex.” We hope to start conversations about sex through this column and address sexual health issues with scientific perspective and nuances.
In this article, we'll dive into the science behind brain orgasms and share expert tips to help you achieve mind-blowing bliss.
Have you ever experienced a brain orgasm? No, we're not talking about your typical bedroom fun. We're talking about those euphoric, tingly feelings that start at your scalp and spread throughout your body. Brain orgasms, also known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), are those euphoric, tingly feelings that start at the top of your head and travel down your spine. It's like a wave of relaxation and pleasure washes over you, without any physical stimulation. ASMR triggers and sensations are different for everyone, but the most common triggers include:
Soft whispers or soft voices
Tapping or scratching sounds
Observing someone perform tasks with concentrated attention.
Light touch or personalized attention
The science behind tingling
Now, you might be wondering, “What’s actually going on in my brain during these orgasms?” Scientists are still trying to figure it out, but they think it has something to do with the release of feel-good chemicals like oxytocin and endorphins. Deep within your brain lies a special area called the nucleus accumbens. Think of it as the VIP room of your pleasure center. When this spot is stimulated, waves of intense satisfaction wash over you.
When you experience intense mental pleasure, neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are the life of the party, flooding your brain with feel-good chemicals. It's like your neurons are doing the dance of happiness, creating that euphoric feeling you can't get enough of. Remember, everyone's brain is unique, so what you like may not be the best for someone else. However, understanding the science behind these intense mental experiences can help you discover new levels of pleasure. So go ahead and give your brain the treat it deserves—you've got neuroscience on your side!
How to achieve your first brain orgasm
Let's explore how you can unlock this intense pleasure and experience your first cerebral climax.
Setting the stage: The first thing is to create an environment that is perfect for relaxing. Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed. Dim the lights, put on some noise-cancelling headphones, and get comfortable. The key is to minimize distractions and maximize your focus on the sensations you are about to experience.
Choose your trigger: Now it's time to choose your ASMR trigger. Everyone is different, so what works for your best friend may not work for you. Experiment with different triggers until you find the one that sends those delicious shivers down your spine.
Activate your senses:Once you've found your trigger, it's time to fully immerse yourself. Close your eyes and let the sounds wash over you. Focus on the sensations you're feeling: the slight tickle on the back of your neck, the warmth spreading across your scalp, the waves of relaxation flowing through your body.
Ride the wave: As the tingling intensifies, you may feel a rush of euphoria or a deep sense of calm. This is the brain orgasm in the making! Go with the flow. You may feel a tingling sensation on your scalp or experience tingling throughout your body. Take it all in and let the pleasure wash over you.
Remember that there is no “right” way to have a brain orgasm. Your experience is unique, so don’t compare it to others. Just relax, enjoy, and let your mind and body take you on an amazing sensory journey.
Techniques and exercises for brain orgasm
Let's explore some techniques and exercises that will have your mind filled with pleasure in no time. Remember that each person's experience is unique, so don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.
Sensory stimulation:Start by creating a cozy environment. Dim the lights, get comfortable, and grab your favorite headphones. Now, close your eyes and listen to ASMR videos or binaural beats. These audio experiences can trigger those delicious tickles in the back of your skull. Try different sounds like:
- Whispers
- Playing
- Wrinkled
- Nature sounds
Pay attention to how each sound affects you. Some may give you goosebumps, while others may send shivers down your spine.
Mindful meditation: Take a deep breath and sink into zen. Mindful meditation can help you tap into those brain-tingling sensations. Here's a quick exercise you can try:
- Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

- Slowly scan your body from head to toe.
- Do you feel any tingling or warmth?
As you practice, you may start to feel those delicious tingles spreading across your scalp. Don't chase the sensation, just let it happen naturally.
Visualization techniques:It's time to exercise your imagination muscle! Imagine a gentle waterfall cascading over your head or warm sunlight slowly spreading across your scalp. Visualize the feeling of someone gently running their fingers through your hair. The more vivid your mental image, the more likely you are to experience those gastric tingles in your brain.
So there you have it – the keys to unlocking those elusive brain orgasms and mind-blowing waves of pleasure.
