Back in July I posted a poll to find out how many of my visitors used poppers and what they thought of them. About 28% of the people used poppers frequently. I was fairly pleased with how few people didn’t know what poppers are. If you still don’t know, just hold on. Below are the results from the survey.

Poppers can be a very tricky subject with people and it’s never something you want to force on a person without talking to them about it first. Although, with consent, forced poppers can be VERY hot. I actually did poppers when I lost my virginity. I went to a hotel with 2 fucking amazing muscle beasts and during the course of play, they gave me some poppers. At the time I had no clue what they were, but I did as they suggested, and it allowed them to double fuck me. Which was very hot. Looking back on it, I don’t have any regrets, but I wish I had known what I knew now.

For those of you who don’t know what poppers are, they are different types of Nitrites – frequently amyl, butyl, and isobutyl. They come in a small brown bottle like shown above and are inhaled, usually through the nose. It causes the blood vessels to dilate, heart beat increases and blood rushes to the brain. It also relaxes your muscles, specifically the sphincter, making anal sex, fisting, or whatever ass play you kinky fuckers do much easier.

If you have any medical conditions, especially blood pressure related, please research the effects even more before using. The best suggestion would be to talk to a knowledgeable doctor. There is also concern when mixed with other drugs that decrease your blood pressure such as Viagra. I’ve heard of reported stories of people dying or ending up in the hospital because of this combination.

There are also different varieties of poppers. Most do come in the little bottles shown above, but some also come in an aerosol can and are best sprayed into a paper towel tube then inhaled that way. The aerosol variety are typically more potent and extreme caution should be taken when using them. With any poppers, especially unfamiliar brands, have someone around when you use them. I’ve had friends tell me stories of them losing their vision, spotted vision, or even full blackouts from poppers. So be careful. They may go by different names when sold in stores including “room odorizers” or “video head cleaner”

When you start using poppers, plug one nostril and sniff the bottle from a couple inches away and just notice the effects. As you get more comfortable with poppers, you can inhale the poppers and hold them for longer before exhaling. Doing this and using fresh poppers will increase the effects of the poppers. Be careful to not get the liquid on your skin as it can cause a burning sensation. Also, don’t spill it… it’s just a bad idea… especially in public, like the IML hotel lobby.

With poppers, you do build up a tolerance for them during the session. The first hit is always the most intense. If you use popper frequently, a couple times a week, you can build up a tolerance between sessions too.

Once you are done using your poppers, replace the cap because you don’t want to spill them… ever. Then you can store them in your freezer. They won’t freeze and it will help keep them potent for longer. Also it’s best to keep them out of direct light, hence the brown bottle.

Poppers will do different things for different people. I don’t use them much at all, but for me they just relax my sphincter, making it easier for me to get fucked. For most people they can be a boner killer. I have met people where it makes them horny as hell and they kind of go into a rage. Then there are also people who are totally turned off by them. So, talk to your partner before using them because it may cause them to walk out the door before you have any fun.

Also, there are many different brands of poppers and I’m sure they are all a little different. If poppers really do interest you, try different brands. Some may leave you with a headache afterward, while others may not. Some may also be more potent for you.

As with anything, don’t ever feel pressured to do them. You can have a good time without them, and frequently you can have the same experience, it just might take a little longer. That can be part of the fun though.

Check through the comments, there’s some great advice there!
