I'm new to poppers. I would like to try them. What is the best brand to try? How are they different? Thanks
i have always liked blue boy or jungle juice.
I don't thing that offering a personal opinion and a caution, along with a link to what you agree is balanced objective information, quite qualifies as "preaching".I had a feeling that question would generate some preaching. I've used them every once and a while for years Cosmosmariner. Like anything you take into your body, be smart. Don't go crazy with it, take care not to spill it or tilt some into your nose and...please don't drink it. :wink:
Poppers are hardly as detrimental to your body as many other drugs. That link given is about right and not very frightening. I know people who experience a headache after too many sniffs but you have to try it and see for yourself. Most of the brands you buy at any sex shop are pretty similar. Ask the person at the counter which brand is the most asked for by others. Rush is a very popular brand.
Try it...the sensation is extremely intense and heightens all bodily sensations for about a minute. If you don't like the feeling they give you then, needless to say, don't continue doing them...easy.
Have fun :smile:
The kind that doesn't fuck up your brain and/or your body.
I've only got one of each, and I like to take care of them.
But that's just me.
Poppers
I don't thing that offering a personal opinion and a caution, along with a link to what you agree is balanced objective information, quite qualifies as "preaching".
I am no Pollyana purist where recreational drugs are concerned myself, though with maturity I tend to steer clear of introducing potentially harmful chemicals into my body and brain for a momentary "rush". Hell, I avoid introducing harmful chemicals into my body in the food I eat, but as I said, "that's just me".
Fortunately for me, I don't seem to have an addictive personality and am able to set aside substances at will. (Not to mention that inhalants seriously fuck with my nasal membranes.) I have many friends and acquaintances who are not so wired, and have developed dependences on a wide variety of drugs. Quite a few of them have tragically gone completely down the tubes.
I have also had plenty of sexual encounters with popper users who are continually interrupting the proceedings to take another sniff, becoming increasingly distracted and sketchy - most unsexy, IMHO. There are plenty of people in my experience who can't function and have a satisfying sexual experience without this chemical enhancement. I avoid them, but as I said, "that's just me".
It's not necessarily "easy" for everybody to just set things aside. You say "if you don't like the feeling", which misses the point. Plenty of people very much like the feeling of euphoria, and would therefore be inclined to continue, whether or not it's ultimately a good thing. I am also of the opinion that the casual use of poppers can easily lead to experimentation with much more addictive and dangerous substances, and I've seen plenty of examples of this as well.
You may call this "preaching" if you like, but there is nothing moralistic in what I said, far from it. It is my opinion based on personal experience and research. Whatever value someone chooses to attach to this is immaterial to me. Whatever you and the OP decide to do is entirely your business. As I said:
Have fun :smile:
Nothing you state in your post is "wrong" either, except . . . .Nothing you state in your post is "wrong" Max. My post, however, was just to answer the Op's question based on my personal experience and research. I can't possibly know his history, penchant for addiction and strength of self. If he's at all like you and me he will be fine. Anyway...between the two of us I think we've pretty well covered his question.
and I say again (without the hint of sarcasm)
Have fun :smile:
What are poppers?
Sorry, I just saw the link in the second post.
1) You accused me of preaching, which I was not.
Honestly, it did seem like a diversion, but that's not why you didn't receive a response. I hope it will not be too great a surprise for you to learn that I actually have other priorities and other things happening in my life off of this board. Responding immediately to your rather lengthy PM on a subject I had already explained in detail, was not at the top of my agenda. Even here on this board I have neglected correspondence with certain friends, some long delayed, and that has been weighing on me a bit. (Sorry Zos, nwnccpl, midlife, sargon, rubi, nick, and most especially my dear darlin Lynn who I am sooo overdue for, plus half a dozen others I mean to drop at least a quick line, and anybody else I forgot - I'll catch up to you when I get the chance, I promise.)I wrote you a pm, Max, because I don't like hijacking threads and I especially try to avoid getting involved in public spitball fights, which, unfortunately has now occurred here. Seeing as how you were so quick to rebut me publicly but have ignored my pm, while making several more posts, I'm guessing you only engage in public discourse.
Saying I'm 'preachy' is a judgement, how could it not be? It's also a mischaracterization. And I was not 'offended', at least not until now. The fact that you persist in interpreting my reply as 'preachy' after I have repeatedly explained my intention is surely wearing on my nerves, and now I am offended. I have been in agreement with you as well in the politics forum on many issues, and if I'm not mistaken, have even acknowledged that. I have appreciated your point of view there - ironically, because like me, you seem to be an independent thinker. That does not mean I will be in agreement with you on all things. I don't march lockstep with anyone, even those I sympathize with. If the chat here has gotten out of hand, I regret to say, I put the onus on you. It is, after all, you who keeps reviving this theme.I'm sure it matters little to you, but, I truly respect your posts in the politics forum, where the majority of your posts seem to be. Our chat in this thread, however, has gotten a little out of hand. The OP asked what types of poppers there are to choose from and which is the best. I certainly didn't mean to attack you at all, but your reply was preachy. That's wasn't a judgment against you and I'm not sure why it seems to have offended you so much.
I think you are really stretching here, Stretch. I don't think this is a good analogy at all. I don't know what your reasons are for being a vegetarian, but again, I wasn't moralising at all, I even alluded to my own recreational drug use, and I never said poppers were 'evil'. I only offered my personal perspective and opinion, and offered a link to some information on effects and side effects. It was only after you pushed the subject, that I felt compelled to offer more of my personal experience. By the way, I personally think that poppers have the potential to do more damage than described in that link, but I actually took the time to find one that was more conservative, so as not to appear alarmist.I'm a vegetarian. Let's say somebody posted a thread asking what the different cuts of beef one can obtain from a cow are and which one is the best. Now if i was to write a post espousing the evils of eating meat and provided a link backing my opinion I wouldn't be wrong, but I would be stating my moral conviction when it wasn't really asked for, nor what the OP was looking for.
I didn't, but as you seem uncharacteristically dense on this and refuse to let it go, and now others are picking up on it, now I am feeling under attack. Look, let me try to explain this one last time: I think it's entirely appropriate if someone is going to experiment with a drug that they obviously have little experience with, or understanding of, to offer some unbiased information along with a personal opinion - that it's not necessarily all sunshine and fluffy clouds. What's wrong with someone being sensible and making an informed decision about what they put in their body? Just as you make an informed decision about not eating meat, to borrow your analogy, which now seems quite apt. And poppers are certainly more cause for concern than a slice of prime rib, IMHO.You have every right, of course, to post anything you want, but the guy just wanted to know which poppers he should try if he decides to try them. Sorry if you took my post as a personal attack.
You may call this "preaching" if you like, but there is nothing moralistic in what I said, far from it. It is my opinion based on personal experience and research. Whatever value someone chooses to attach to it is immaterial to me. Whatever you and the OP decide to do is entirely your business.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program
What the fuck, tallguy?!!I Googled "define preaching" and your post in this thread came up as the top result. For the love of God, stop trying to force others to accept your opinion as if it was objective fact.
oh and ps... I swear if I see another one of your posts childishly bolded and colored, as if every single word you wrote needed extra emphasis to show that you're really, really serious, I'm putting you on ignore. Goddamn that's fucking annoying to have to read!
Since when is having an opinion 'preaching'? The OP wanted advice on the best popper to try and maxcok simply suggested none. If maxcok is 'preaching' then so is Stretch for suggesting that "Jungle Juice is usually a good one"
The OP asked for opinions and advice, that's what he got. It's no different than you telling a friend you want to try something. If your friend thought it was dangerous, they would tell you. It's just friendly advice, the OP doesn't have to take any of it.
