Opinion on poppers?

[902369]

Anyone else like me? I really don't like poppers. Cannot stand the chemical smell they give off and cannot stand kissing someone that has just used them and smelling it on their breath. Poppers literally smell like indoor swimming pools.

Additionally, I know poppers users say it enhances the sexual experience but can't you enhance your own sexual experience without the use of chemicals lol? Most of my best lays have been with tops that knew what they were doing and knew how to fuck without the use of poppers. Guess I'm just not impressed by popper users and assume that the sex will be bad once you need "artificial enhancers" to get off and "feel more sensations." Anyone else agree or am I the only one?

So for me, I don't use them until I am ready to be pounded... They completely help when I want to take it hard and rough. Can't use them as a top though, get way too dizzy. Sparingly they are good, but if someone has to use them to get off, it's kind of a turn off.

For a period of about two years I huffed poppers nearly every time I watched porn. I went a little crazy with them. It taught me that, like everything else on this planet, moderation is key. Best used sparingly. Take a hit when you are on edge and ready to blow; or use them to help you relax (if you are a bottom) your muscles before being penetrated. For me, personally, I was using them so that I could hold my edge longer, because they cause a drop in blood pressure, whenever I would get close to blowing, I'd take a huff and my full erection would go down to about a half-chub. In this way I could watch porn and edge for several hours without blowing my load. I've now been off them for over a year and I don't miss them. Some people really get into them because they do make you act like a goofball and I guess some people really get off on that idea, sexually - like being "stupid" when they are horny. I like watching videos of those guys, too, but I myself don't participate in that scene, anymore.

Gosh... That's a bit extreme.. It's poppers for goodness sake, not crystal meth...

I'm very much against chemsex and all that rubbish, but love a bit of poppers when I'm bottoming. I just like the way it fully relaxes everything and focuses in on the sensations, so I can lose myself in the feeling of a nice cock ramming into me. Don't use them very often, but always have a bottle in the house.

Also, I think it depends on the brand you're using. Some of them smell horrid to me, or they give me a huge headache. Have found a few that work great and don't smell too strong.

Think you just have to find the right on that works for you!

But can't you find other ways of relaxing yourself in preparation for getting pounded? It's like, some bottoms get pounded, they don't like the sensations or it hurts too much, so they turn to chemicals known as poppers... Do you even try any other methods of opening your hole that doesn't require chemicals (lol)? I'm just trying to understand the use of poppers because from the first few replies I've already confirmed the unfortunate fact that too many gay men depend on these chemicals when maybe instead they should invest in their bodies more and understand how to pleasure themselves and get off without using them.

No no, you misunderstand. I don't need them to get fucked. Without poppers I'm still loving every second of it and have no issues with not being able to relax or pain or any of that.

But, the sensations are definitely different when using poppers as opposed to not using them. Most of the time I don't use poppers and have amazing sex, but then once in a while it's nice to switch it up and feel the others sensations.

Not into poppers or any artificial stimulants, though there are guys who feel they can only perform with a little help (and I don't mean the blue tablets).my reasoning is that if a guy needs to use stimulants to fuck and suck with me then there must be something wrong. Tried once, got very light headed and then threw up - which spoiled the session... but we didn't go that path again. Not that I haven't experimented with enhancements though not for sexual needs, recreational
So guys, do me as I am, takle me as I am, the only place I need something sniffed is my....

There are different chemicals that are sold as "poppers" and depending on the type and the quality thereof, and your own body's reactions, your experiences may be great or bad or indifferent. They work by dilating blood vessels and relaxing smooth muscle, especially "involuntary" muscles that you don't have much control over. So yes, they do things for some people that you can't really "will" yourself to do in terms of the head rush and the greater relaxation of certain muscles.

The original form, amyl nitrite, was used by doctors to help provide relief for people suffering from chest pain (angina) -- that has since been replaced by nitroglycerin tablets. Amyl nitrite is regulated in many places and is both expensive to make and it spoils easily without refrigeration, so many poppers manufacturers use other chemicals that have similar -- but not identical -- efficacy, such as cyclohexyl nitrite, isobutyl nitrite and isopropyl nitrite.

Personally, anything by amyl nitrite gives me a splitting headache. And any of them that haven't been stored properly (e.g., refrigerated and used within a year or so of manufacture) can have smells ranging from kerosene to dirty gym shorts. By contrast, a fresh bottle of amyl that's been stored in the refrigerator or freezer (it's mostly alcohol so stays liquid at temperatures below 32°F) smells like an eau de vie, a lightly fruity-smelling high-proof distilled alcohol.

Not everyone likes the sensation. But some do. And some people have better results with different chemicals. So you can't make sweeping generalizations if you haven't tried them all.

And if you're making judgments about peoples morals, values, or integrity based upon their usage? Personally, I would encourage you to work on loosening your own overly tight ass by sticking those opinions back up from whence they emerged.

Cheers!

If you need chems to enhance your sexual interaction with me then you're not what i'm looking for.

Poppers is guaranteed to make me physically ill in under 60 seconds...

Never found the interest or enjoyment from poppers. Tried them a couple of times and all I got was the feeling that the blood was rushing to my head. Nothing sexual and nothing worth repeating.

Does anyone know what chemically they are supposed to do?

I see. Didn't mean to "popper shame" lol.

Does anyone know what chemically they are supposed to do?

As Wikipedia concisely explains: "Inhaling nitrites relaxes smooth muscles throughout the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. [...] Smooth muscle surrounds the body's blood vessels and when relaxed causes these vessels to dilate resulting in an immediate increase in heart rate and blood flow throughout the body, producing a sensation of heat and excitement that usually lasts for a couple of minutes."

These reactions are why people with heart issues, or people taking other blood pressure or circulatory system-affecting drugs (including Viagra or other ED-related prescription and non-prescription substances) should not use them.

This site has some good descriptions of the feelings and effects of using poppers:
http://www.urban75.com/Drugs/drugamyl.html

For example, "On the dancefloor it feels like you've been hit by a percussive thunderbolt, and if you're having sex it feels like your sexual organs have grown to Herculean proportions. The effect only lasts for a few moments and you might feel a little light headed for a minute or so afterwards."

No thank you.

 

[whosyourdaddy_999]

I suppose the guys that take a couple hits once per session aren't going overboard. But the guys that need 6 huffs every 5 minutes are dependent on them for something. Are they actually any more enhanced at that point, or just maintaining what they might have had before they ever started down that road? It seems to me that the law of diminishing returns has set in, but perhaps the negative effects are still adding up. Tried 'em once, headache, no thanks.

I have used them here and there. Just for fun really. I do have to say that when you orgasm it seems to go on and on and on. I end up laughing like a complete idiot and worrying my feet will never go back to being flat.

I havent really had luck with the anal relaxation effect with a guy. it just doesn't seem to work for me that way. I did get a massive toy inside me one time doing poppers, but was never able to duplicate the success. I had this toy that was never going to work and was about to throw it out because it looked coll but was doing nothing but taking up space. One night I decided to give it one last try with a bottle or Rush. For a while it made no difference at all. I focused on smelling in the popper. I was kinda tranced out when i realized the toy was going inside me. It was over half way in before I realized it. It was painless. It was really cool.

hmm... it seems to me that winesthel has the solution...

Hmmm, I missed that snippy comment from winesthel945. I must have been high on meth and huffing poppers while taking a ride on the Hershey highway.

I have many years of experience with them, and find they can be of great use in certain settings.

Yes, they smell bad. Yes, the law of diminishing returns applies and if overused, they can kill a session. Yes, people can becom psychologically dependent on them to cum. That said, I'm an advocate for "all things in moderation".

The first time I used them; they kinda got snuck under my nose when I was with a guy I was regular buds with for about 5 mos... 11" (and liked to have me get him completely hard before I unrolled a fabric measuring tape on his cock), Dominant, aggressive, yet thoughtful and not sadistic. As he had me get down on all fours he put the tip of his head up against my hole, leaned forward and reached around my head with both hands, using one hand to hold the bottle under a nostril and the other hand to plug the opposite nostril. He told me to take a couple slow deep whiffs, so I did, and WHOA. I found myself with a head rush, a warmth that relaxed my whole body, as well as this overwhelming wave of slutty thoughts and compulsions. It made me quite dizzy the first time, but I recovered quickly, and when I did, he just slid into me like a hot knife through butter.

I don't like the isobutyl nitrites, but the pentyl (brand name Radikal, made by Rush, in a metal bottle) ones are very nice. It can be quite a help when you're trying to open up and push past a new depth threshold, and in the right setting/dynamic, it's like turning up the slut knob to 11, almost instantly.

Try and make it so you use them no more than 3 times in a setting, if that, and avoid the headaches. While they're perfect for bottoms, it's great to use as a top with cock rings, (though don't EVER mix poppers with Viagra) especially right before you're about to shoot. Beware, as they can kill your wood for a few mins.
