Poppers and You: a Beginner's Guide

[Westheangelino]

So, I've actually received a few private messages recently regarding poppers. Seems my piggy ways and multiple threads on the topic have given me the rep as somewhat of an expert. Well, that rep is well deserved folks! So, I figured I'd write a little primer for those interested. Keep in mind, everyone's sexual pleasure and experiences are different, so I'm just speaking for myself.

Before I move forward: poppers are only to be sniffed! DO NOT swallow! Also, DO NOT TAKE WITH VIAGRA!!! Using those two drugs together, which work in opposite ways, have led to serious heart malfunctions! Also, they inhibit your judgement! So, wrap it up before you start huffing!

Now, onto the fun stuff! Poppers are truly the only real aphrodisiac ever found. Originally made for heart patients to relax the soft tissue of the heart, some pervert discovered that they also greatly enhance sex, especially receiving anal. To me, when you take a couple hits of a fresh bottle (I'll take two sniffs per nostril to start off with), it relaxes your ass and enhances the pleasure to a point of ecstasy! Speaking of ecstasy, it's kind of like being on that drug for one whole minute and not more. If you don't keep sniffing intermittently, your high will subside. So, this is a good thing as well. Poppers have proven to be non addictive (though one can certainly develop a mental association with them) and unless you go apeshit with them, you won't feel it in the morning.

But, Wes....there are so many different brands? Are they all the same? Essentially, yes. So long as they are isobutyl nitrite. Accept no other, in my opinion. People go on and on about how you can't get amyl nitrite anymore (the original compound used when poppers were medicine for heart patients), and that it is not the same high. However, they were NOT using amyl during the heydey of poppers, the 1970's bathhouse and disco culture. They were huffing isobutyl nitrite, whether they realized it or not. The manufactures new that compound was cheaper and more potent. You can still import amyl nitrite (also known as pentyl nitrite) from websites abroad. However, I find that it merely has a warming sensation and none of the intense euphoria of isobutyl. However, you will get no headache after extended amyl use, and you probably will with any isobutyl bottle unless it is freshly opened. However, a five minute headache is worth it to me for an hour of pure pleasure. Beware of imitations like isopropyl nitrite and other alchohol substitutes! Read the little bottle!

What are your favorite brands, Wes? Well, while everyone views Rush as the gold standard, it kinda sucks. I use Amsterdam as the benchmark. It is the standard make you wanna fuck, get your head spinning, headachey popper. It's usually the least expensive (ten for a little bottle) and easily found. My favorites though are Iron Horse and Pig Sweat in the big bottles. I find these to be more concentrated, potent, less headachey, and will fucking tun you into a piggy little freak! However, they seem to lose their kick sooner. Poppers lose their potency as soon as you open them and expose them to air. Using in the shower (something I love to do) will further degrade them by exposing to moisture. Some people like to put their poppers on a rag or tissue, or a smaller bottle, etc. I find that this really doesn't help, as, in my opinion, taking some of the liquid out of the bottle will make it lose its concentration and thus its potency. Another method is keeping them in the fridge. I also don't agree. I have never found this to aid in their freshness, and you must let them warm to room temp before they are good again. Just accept that your bottle will lose its kick in about a week and keep them in a cool, dark drawer or cabinet.

So, are they only good for bottoming? Oh my no! I used to think so, but recently discovered the joys of topping on poppers with a GG partner who likes them. I used to be wary of trying them while fucking because they always fuck with my erection when bottoming. However, I find that they merely enhance whatever pleasure center is in use, and focuses your attention on that. So, if you're taking a huge cock in your ass, it will make your ass feel like the ultimate pleasure zone. If you are the one doing the fucking, it basically makes your head spin and makes your cock feel like it's twice the size with increased pleasure. So, fun for all!

I hope to hear any further questions, opinions, or fun stories of gettin' piggy!!!

I would rather do some nitrous and not fuck than use poppers and get some ass.

... had a crazy, risky, near-disastrous gay poppers experience in the flower of my youth nearly 30 years ago, my first (and last) for both poppers — they're not worth the headaches — and homosexual behavior.

westheangelino*: your advice is articulate and detailed, and although I don't share your perspective, I appreciate it.

* shouldn't you be Angeleno, or even Angeleño? Just askin'
