CYBERSPACE—ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, describes a feeling of euphoric tingling and relaxation triggered by certain low-level sounds. This hair-raising response is part of the reaction to Tokyo-based kink auteur Axel Abysse’s first foray into pornographic ASMR video.
The artist explains, “ANANI 5 is subtitled ‘ASMR Edition’. It’s my first attempt at making an ASMR video. This is quite the trend on YouTube and I haven’t seen any proper porn version of it. I’m definitely sure it’s a first in the fisting world and my fisted hole is definitely singing! I play with the sounds of lube, sweat, spit on my skin, my dick, my balls, my throat, my toys, my hole… Trying to trigger the senses of the viewer with my body.”
The title refers to a Japanese/English neologism for anal masturbation.The solo exploration of his skin and orifices by Abysse himself is captured in closeups and sensitive microphones for an intimate experience. We hear the slosh of lubrication and penetration, the soft crackle as hands brush over moist, stubbled skin, and the low, measured breathing that grounds the entire episode.
Abysse’s website provides a description of this video update: “Axel invites you into the intimacy of his room, where no boundaries apply. From the scent of his armpits to the depths of his hole, let the curse whisper to your ears and wake your senses. … Put your earphones on to enjoy the experience to its fullest.”
“ANANI 5” premieres June 28 on AxelAbysse.com.
