WhispersUnicorn Amateur Massage

This video is from YouTube ASMR artist WhispersUnicorn. She has a slightly more relaxed style to her videos. You could even say they are less polished than other artists out there, but I enjoy that aspect. Often you will see her lovely smile when she has clearly entertained herself and/or is nervous about the odd task that she is performing that so many of us value. Also, in the description of her videos, she often refers to her viewers as "starshines." I'm not usually into that hippie crap, but it feels genuine here, which adds to the experience.

This is one is also unique in that she has brought in a willing victim client, Amanda, who participates verbally especially at the beginning of the video. This is a rather unique video in that it includes two people interacting with the camera. Amanda does not have the ASMR chops that WhispersUnicorn has, but she is not a distraction. Plus, it is nice to see these performed on a body rather than imagined in a point-of-view perspective.

As of publishing, this is WhispersUnicorn's most popular video. This video is a cross between a traditional massage video (strictly non-professional) and a traditional ASMR video. Plus, it is long at over 20 minutes.

On to the video:



  •  0:27 - I have mentioned before my love of having my hair touched, so this video is off to a good start.
  • 3:23 - We have just had almost three minutes of hair brushing uninterrupted by talking. I think that this sets a good relaxing atmosphere for the great tingles coming up.
  • 4:00 - This new bristle brush has a very good sound, much like white noise, but with a rhythm to it.
  • 6:27 -  The message portion is about to start. I get major tingles from this part.
  • 6:57 - The light touches on the side of the head to rearrange the hair are magic.
  • 7:17 - Hair tugging is another one that is amazing for me. Did you know that each hair has a small muscle attached to it. I look at it as hundreds of small muscle stretches, which is very satisfying.
  • 9:20 - The twisting hair tugs, I think, are especially great. The deliberate way in which they are coiled; the slight pressure applied, and the symmetrical application on both sides of the head.
  • 10:20 - Tapotement, or tapping, was one of my first recognized ASMR triggers, and it still works for me. It also usually leads into a temple rub, which I think is pretty universally enjoyed, even without ASMR.
  • 11:30 - She does some very light work on Amanda's neck. I wish she had used more pressure and done that longer. But, it's still a great video.
  • 13:30 - These octopus head things are truly magic, but only really work when someone else is applying it, as here.
The rest of the video is more simple hair brushing and playing. But, it ends with a little playfulness on the part of WhispersUnicorn, which I found quite endearing. There is even a "bloopers" video elsewhere.

WhispersUnicorn IS REAL!
