What do you think about ear-licking in drama CDs?

[SweetTranq]

I find that voice kind of weird, so I always drag the progress bar to skip that part.

100% depends on the voice actor's control. Gentle, whisper-soft ASMR is top tier （//･_･//)

I was actually surprised to hear that some people aren't fond of it.
For me, the ear-licking parts are pretty much the most important thing. The louder the sound, the better! When they lick anywhere other than the ears, the audio feels like it's suddenly moved into the next room, which is kind of sad.
When it comes to ear-licking, I feel that Wataru Mitsuhashi is in a league of his own.

I love the feeling of closeness from ear-licking moments too! You get it, girl! As for me, I mostly prefer it gentle and ticklish rather than loud ear licking and i like when they do it for a long time well, sometimes I don't mind hearing the more aggressive one though haha XD

It is a really strange yet fun experience. Sure, it was more strange than fun at first, but I totally fell for it eventually! Since then I love all ear-experiences from whispering or kissing to straight-up licking, haha!

I absolutely love the ear-licking scenes in drama CDs. I even listen to ASMR tracks that focus solely on ear-licking!

 

[ayak4]

I'm so into it I love it!!

 

[Starfall9908]

Depends on the actor/how it's done. Some turns me on and it makes me feels ticklish while some others sound like a microphone is being swallowed in a bathroom leaving me laughing too hard

 

[hydre]

I basically like it, but it depends on the voice actor's performance.
Sometimes it really does sound like they're licking, but other times it just feels like water is getting into their ears.

 

[Kyouri]

I mentioned in another thread before but I sometimes have like.. misophonia with it so it's a serious struggle. ^^;; I've wasted money quite a few times because of buying a release and then realizing I can't even stand to listen to half of it... (so yeah a lot of times I have to fast forward through ear scenes....) It really sucks since I enjoy pretty much every other aspect of the R18 CDs and I just wish there were more options these days for like.. sensory-issue individuals such as myself lol..

 

[Cinnamonrolls]

Weird feeling but I don't mind it

 

[crisalt]

I don't mind if they don't overdo it. but when it becomes the main focus, meh

 

[starlight7]

I really like ear licking! I think it gives the audio 3d? effect to the audio.

 

[Mahiruuuu]

Yeah, i love it. I'd eat up any ear-licking otome cd lmao

 

[evelynn]

It depends on the CV and the audio quality, I'm personally not a fan but there are some of those with really good quality that make you feel like its so real, like you can actually feel them sticking their tongue in and it makes me so ticklish lol

 

[Kanelipulla]

It feels kinda weird. Like why is Saitama* licking my ear???

That was my first impression of it. Hmm, well, I guess it sometimes ok? I might not like it if it's excessive though. It does give me a feeling like.. boy.. why are you licking my ear... But if the voice actor does it well.. of course my ears will think it's hot. Or maybe even.. if the voice actor's voice is hot enough, I will be more likely to like it.

*Saitama from One Punch Man is voiced my Makoto Furukawa...

 

[--owen--]

I LOVE ear licking but I'm also surprised not everyone is a fan of it ;X to me its because we listen with our ahem very sensitive ears already so it only makes sense they would 'attack' the ears... it gives the most amazing tingles! i think i have encountered the rare occasion it made me feel uncomfortable before, just due to acting skills where it didn't feel like licking but almost like HE WAS EATING THE EAR and i felt actual fear of ear loss (jk) but most of the time i LOVE it

 

[Hayate Sasa]

I like it because it's one of the elements that adds a sense of realism to the audio.
However, if the acting is poor, it can be a total turn-off, so it really depends on the voice actor's performance.

 

[Pancito]

Personally, I'm not really a big fan of it. I usually skip it if it goes on for too long, but it also depends on my mood and the situation in the drama. Sometimes I just treat it more like ASMR and let it play in the background.

 

[meimakan]

i LOOOOOOVE it but i'm quite picky with the sound (?)

 

[imonusi]

Basically, I like it and enjoy it
But if that part goes on for too long, I start to get a little bored and want to know what happens next, so sometimes I end up skipping ahead a bit

 

[kyuuze9]

I dont't really like it back then but gradually it grows on me to the point i have a little too much of a fun time when i listen to ichijou hirame's RJ01442383 LOLLLL (iykyk)

 

[wodaiwushi]

I really dislike it; it makes me extremely uncomfortable. Although the voice actors' voices are very gentle, I just can't enjoy ear-licking audios, so I mostly skip them.
