[QUESTION] What are POPPERS?

[digitalparkinglot]

Thanks everyone for the great input. After reading all the comments I'm even more on the fence. Luckily I don't have to decide, I don't have the slightest Idea how I'd get them where I live.

Try any non-chain gas station, or licensed one like Shell where the owner also sells knives, glass pipes, and other weird grey market items. Maybe a sex store would also sell it?

May I be the party pooper and offer an alternative to drugs even tho no one asked?

There are other ways to increase libido naturaly:

- Get enough sleep
- Eat healthier
- Exercise a little bit and try to maintain healthy weight
- Try to decrease your stress levels and relax more
- Work on and improve your relationships
- If you are taking medication that might negatively impact your sex drive, ask your doctor if there is an alternative. (Always ask your doctor!)
- Try denial/chastity. Your libido should peak around one week of abstinence.
- Try new things and experiment when it comes to sex or masturbation. (I recommend erotic audio for people who never tried it. Especially HFO recordings.)
- Try to avoid certain drugs that decrease libido. (This one is little bit ironic...)
- If you still have issues with low or non existent sexual drive, ask your doctor.




These things are hard (I personally struggle to do at least half of them ) and might not sound as sexy as drugs but they have a benefit of improving not only your libido but also your life in general.

Taking drugs, even the safer ones, may have negative consequences (physical issues, addiction, psychosis, anxiety disorder, depression, PTSD... ) if you are one of the unlucky people who don't tolerate them well or have certain predispositions.

I'm not anti-drugs and I'm not saying no one should take them or that they can't be beneficial for some people, but you should make an informed decision and always consider wheter you want to risk the potential negative consequences (for what in this case sounds like couple of seconds of high).

I know, I know... boring, preachy, nothing new and no one asked.

- Wake up around noon after falling asleep between 3 and 6 am.
- "Intermittent fasting" punctuated by fast food and caffeine.
- Walk sometimes, drive everywhere because American suburban hell.
- Decrease stress levels by avoiding stressful tasks reducing future resistance.
- Panic after procrastinating, able to complete stressful tasks in short order, repeating this pattern.
- What is this "relationship" you speak of?
- How do I flirt in a zoom class without having social media?
- Denial works, especially when paired with the natural feelings of pursuing a mate.
- Monkey brain make big pp when see milf at Target.
- Long term THC saturation probably decreases libido via lowering testosterone production and drive.
- Alcohol probably has similar effects (beer belly is a result of low T).
- CBD saturation may counteract this, especially when considering the effects of inflammation.
- Doctor says to get more exercise and eat healthier, except it costs $268 (After $3500 yearly payment). Because America.
- Recommends drug because of pharmaceutical corporation's incentive program.

But back to the original topic, what is it about an altered state of consciousness that our societies deem unacceptable? (I guess it's different all across the world, but American drug enforcement policies have become the de-facto standard for most of our major trading partners).

Spoiler: show

Why is it that nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, methylphenidate, etc. are considered acceptable, yet cannabinoids, psilocybin, and the like are considered unacceptable? (I know this is changing rapidly, but bear with me). The side effects of alcohol, nicotine, and to a lesser extent, caffeine addiction have a cost on society. Millions of American children were given amphetamines against their will because the school systems needed them to behave like drones and not like kids.

Governments and organized hierarchies are afraid of psychedelic substances because they dissolve socially constructed thought patterns and, in general, make people more likely to question their tools of control. The substances that are socially acceptable generally reinforce the status quo. Coffee, caffeine, and Ritalin make it easier to be a productive worker. In the 1800's the average American worker drank whiskey throughout their shift.

How is this related to poppers? It isn't. But my stance on the matter is that it is the individual's responsibility to research the substances they put in their body. I am personally against the use of inhalants on principle. But I also have an aversion to anything that I can't verify the chemical composition of.

A large part of drug experience is setting and expected results. There is a huge amount of placebo that goes into the average drug experience. Think of it this way, when you had your first drink of alcohol, you probably acted drunk as a result of expecting to be intoxicated. This idea is called "pharmacological determinism" which means that the behavior of a person under the influence of drugs is determined by the substance and not the individual.

Every time I smoke weed, there is this guilt that goes into it. The anxiety that I experience may be brought on by chemicals, but at the same time, it is triggered by all of the what ifs. I live in a state where it is illegal. What would my family think, etc. It isn't just the psychoactive compounds but also the ingrained feelings given to me by society.

So when it comes to poppers, perhaps a huge part of the experience is the submission/suggestion aspect to it. Virtually all the references I've seen to the substance come in the form of femdom JOI videos where the domme is suggesting to sniff at regular intervals. Would they even have the same effect without this setting? I'm not sure. I think the forced intoxication fetish is interesting to play around with, but then again, there are horror stories. (Don't Google Krystle Cole).

Perhaps some fetishes are best explored via fiction, though most of them are informed by reality. Most BDSM equipment is just sexualized historical torture and enslavement devices. The earliest exposure I had to this was when I was around 8 or 9 and watching a beautiful lady strap James Bond into a neck breaking devices from the 1700s. I didn't know it at the time but that planted some pretty deep seeds.

I can chip in here as I take them. Some of my videos have poppers prompts, especially when things are about to heat up.

If you take them properly, that is, close one nostril, hold the bottle to the other nostril and breathe in deeply), they will give you a rush. Now, this rush won't be too pleasant normally, taking it in an everyday setting. It'll just make you feel dizzy. You need to be horny first. So it's something you do while you're already emersed in something, whether watching porn or playing with someone else. They won't make you horny. They will take your existing horniness to another, primal level.

When you take a hit (provided you're doing as described above), you'll experience a wave of an animalistic need to fuck. So let's say you're watching a porn scene, and normally you'd be thinking, "It's so nice watching that pretty woman enjoy that cock". Under the influence of a poppers hit, and under a rush of sexual euphoria, you'd think something more along the lines of, "Yes! Fuck that whore's holes until she can't walk! Slam it! Nail her! It's a very dark and dirty feeling of lust. Harder porn works better with poppers. Cumming while on a high is extremely intense and somewhat scary sometimes, especially if you're still under its spell after you cum. So timing is important in that regard.

The hit itself lasts around 20 to 30 seconds. After that you kind of drift back down to earth. It's also possible to do multiple hits. But, the more you do during an evening, the less effective each hit gets. After so many you get less inclined to do another.

But if you do decide to use them, go easy on them. Limit yourself to say, no more than 10 hits a day, and don't use them everyday. I tend to use them once a month max. I buy a bottle, use it one evening, and throw it away (they don't keep well once opened). They're not very good for you as they lower your blood pressure. And never, never take them in combination with Viagra, Cialis, or any modern erectile medication. It's extremely dangerous.

Replace the cap after each hit, otherwise the room will start to smell of the stuff. If you spill some on you or anywhere, wash immediately. It's not a big deal, but it'll burn things especially if left for awhile. Never, ever take it in any other way. Do not drink (this may kill you or leave you brain damaged), do not try and smoke it (it'll turn into a fireball). If you're moderately healthy with no heart problems and you take it as you're supposed to, you'll be fine. But always exercise good judgement when it comes to drugs. You need to respect them. Anything that creates mind-altering experiences should always be respected and used with care.

You may also get blue lips and blue fingertips. This is common, but a good signal that you should give them a rest that day.

Taking it in combination with 2C-B or weed amplifies the euphoria. This is usually how I take them and I love it.

I stick to Isopentyl varieties. Specifically, I buy the brand Radikal Rush. The euphoria is quite refreshing, and they're not associated with eye issues (at least, nothing has been reported yet).

Has anyone ever tried this with poppers?

[quentin_sands]

May I be the party pooper and offer an alternative to drugs even tho no one asked?

I'm with you Pseudonym. These are methods I endorse.

I believe everyone is free to make their own choices and if someone does their research on the affects -both desired an undesired - of the chemical of their choice - and has a reputable supplier of quality of that stuff - they're free to make their own decisions. But poppers is an area where I've decided to steer clear.

That being said - there are some great videos (numberonefan i'm looking at you!) that have poppers prompts, and I don't mind at all, because again, it's choice, and I don't feel like they are pressuring me - just prompting the viewers who choose to indulge. If something went further than that and it was more like a domination thing with the order to use them, then I'd just bin that video and move on to one that I'd enjoy more. I'm sure there either already is or inevitably will be exactly that kind of content, some domination or hypno-trance with the 'you will do the poppers now, sub!' and if that's your gig, enjoy the hell out of it.

Just make sure that regardless of the content you're consuming, you're making an informed decision about all aspects of the substance.

I reckon this is a great way to kill yourself. You don't want to vape this shit man. Do not heat this up or atomize it or anything. I repeat, DO NOT BE A DUMBASS AND KILL YOURSELF

Wait a minute pocetsize.

I never said "Go to church and be good to your neighbours"
Fuck the neighbours!

It always amuses me to read about the dangers of risky substances, knowing that the author probably just got home from the pub.

"Poppers" is a 1970s gay-club-scene word for the inhaled vasodilators, alkyl nitrites. Traditionally, amyl nitrite. They get the name from the popping sound when the containers were broken open. They can facilitate risky behavior, such as anal sex, so were very popular. They should not be used by individuals with certain heart or circulatory conditions, or HIV, and shouldn't be combined with other substances that affect blood pressure (such as Viagra, aspirin, blood-pressure medications). Inhaling too much may cause a headache. Consuming or inhaling the liquid is extremely toxic, the user should only inhale the vapors.

Most alkyl nitrites are no longer legally available in many areas. This has led to the introduction of alternatives, which are generally considered inferior (such as isopropyl nitrite), and have a reputation for causing more of a headache or eye-damage than anything pleasant. Some substances are available under alternative labels, such as "video head cleaner". As there's no regulation for the inhaled effect, it's "caveat emptor" on the buyer to be educated about what they're really getting, and how to use it safely.

All of this info is readily available on the internet, even by someone who's never used them.

For me, poppers have been a game changer. Ever since I started estiming, I've been intrigued whenever poppers were mentioned in a post. What were they and why the buzz? When Klinik Industries was released this year, I did some online research, took a plunge, and ordered Double Scorpio's Emerald isobutyl nitrate "VHS tape cleaner". FYI - This thread was extremely useful in weighing the safety and pros and cons of popper use. As Supermassive said above, they work best when you're horney, especially when watching porn or stimming to a cock hero video.
With lots of anticipation, popper bottle in hand, and rigged up for estiming, I launched Klinik Industries. The first popper rush was amazing: first nothing, then a pleasurable heart throbbing due to vaso dilation, followed by a warm flush feeling. My cock hardened, my brain relaxed, my nerves craved for more intense stim signals; and for 3-5 minutes I was in a state of bliss, totally oblivious to outside distractions, and totally into the video and estim signals. As the rush waned, I looked forward to the next hit, and the next, and the next ... I also found that in the "recovery / refractory" period following the rush, I became more aware of erotic details in the video and estim signal that heightened my arousal.
My sweet spot for hits is 8 - 10 minutes apart. That gives my body and mind time to recover, so that the intensity of the next hit is similar, but slightly less that the previous. Of course it takes a bit of practice and getting familiar with timing, duration, and intensity. My typical stim session is a couple of hours, and I've found it very enjoyable to popper along from start to finish. I typically stim every 4 - 5 days, and am happy with that pacing. Fortunately, I've experienced no headaches or problems afterwards, no physical urge for poppers.
FYI - I'm very pleased with Double Scorpio's quality and ease of online ordering. I've settled on their Gold and Silver line, as the rush seems to be more intense and longer. That's just me. I'd be interested to hear about other's experiences. I'll also put in a plug for the Super Sniffer DP (double port) popper cap that is so easy and handy to use, with no fuss, no muss, or spillage.
There's an old saying that if you do the same thing, the same way, don't be surprised when you get the same results. Now that I've discovered a "new way", I'm looking forward to revisiting my cock hero collection and getting "new" results.

I recently tried poppers myself a few weeks ago and my experience has been very similar to yours, starting with a slight headrush, followed by a warm flushing feeling that works its way up from from chest to face. What then follows is around 4-5 minutes of feeling very blissed out and focused on the sexy action on screen. Like you, I also primarily stim during my sessions, and similarly have found I crave a much stronger estim signal when under the effect of poppers.

Having read up extensively on the different types of poppers, I went ahead and got a 24ml bottle of Amsterdam Black Label, which is Amyl based. Obviously I have nothing to compare this particular bottle to yet, but I like it. It's hard to describe the smell, but it's surprisingly pleasant, at least while they are fresh.

On the subject of freshness, I also looked up how best to preserve them, so divided mine into several 2ml glass bottles which I store in a Tupperware container in the freezer. I then remove one of these tiny bottles a couple of hours before a sesh, and pour it into one of these Kilner bottles, along with a cotton wool pad, and that's what I inhale from:



I only get to use poppers maybe once every fortnight, so preserving them for longer than a month is important, allowing me to get more than two uses from each purchase. When I do eventually need more though, I'd like to try "Dumb Bitch Juice" (Pentyl/Amyl based) or "Everest Premium" (Amyl based), but this isn't on the UK site I'm using, so I'd have to get it sent across the channel from France (which potentially means customs issues).

As for ill effects, nothing to report really. I had a cough for three days after my first session, but I suspect this was just a coincidental illness, as it hasn't happened again, despite doing much heavier sessions since.

Overall I really enjoy using them, and while I wouldn't say they are addictive, I do tend to have an urge/craving to use them when I'm horny or doing a regular, non-poppers estim sesh. It's not overwhelming though, and easy enough to resist if I have already decided I won't be using them for that given session. After doing a hit though, I definitely crave another as the effects fade. My sessions are usually around 3 hours, but I tend not to use poppers immediately...perhaps starting an hour or so in. I am always aware of how much I'm doing though, and keep an eye for any tell tale signs of "overdoing it".

This thread has so much good experience-based feedback on this topic, but there is also some decent reads on the broader internet. My personal experience is that when used in the right setting (and amount) you do zone out, which is perfect for a good gooner zombie. For me, orgasm intensity is also through the roof as the hit "hits". Its worth noting that apparently this is not the case for everyone? Guess Im just lucky. My favourite to date are Isopropyl based (Gold Rush actually), which are not as hard as Amyl. Ive done Amyl quite a bit and while they are indeed strong AF, Ive also found myself getting nauseous(?) on them. On Amyl I also got so zoned out once I snorted way too hard and had to nasal wash several times. I add the last part because there are obvious risks. Ive found a popper cap helps concentrate the air intake (hit intensity), and reduces the risk of absently bumping your nose against the lid of the bottle - avoiding popper nostrils! A decent cap (I tried a few) also ensures enough airflow so I dont find myself nasal washing if I do get too zoned out again

[edger477]

I stopped using the propyl ones when I found out about maculopathy, was using amyl-based ones from France ever since. They also have Gold Rush brand (I had one bad bottle of it though). I also tried Everest Black Label (pentyl), that one seems weaker but it has nice fresh smell. Its rush was not doing it for me. I like the best generic "Amyl Poppers" (24ml bottle that I split into several 5ml ones so each time I open one fresh for a session), and "Amyl Pocket" which comes in 30ml alu bottle.

So far my main problem is figuring out a good way to enjoy them in lying position (when my wife is on top)... that is when I need a good rush the most and you can't use them in liquid state.

Haven't got a tested working solution yet but I plan to test one soon.

I settled down for putting cotton balls into empty 24ml bottle, then adding poppers (will try with ~5ml) and using a 3d-printed sniffing cap that has a small pipe for air inlet that goes all the way to the bottom of bottle. So when you sniff, the air will travel from bottom to top through the cotton balls soaked in poppers, I expect it to be strong and convenient to use in any direction.
