Alternatives to poppers?

[Guest]

I'm bisexual, vers/top, and am interested in bottoming again (it's been years). I've heard that poppers are supposed to help get one loosened up and receptive, but every time I've tried it I've been disappointed; it doesn't really do anything for me and I just get a headache. Is there another alternative that might work better (besides marijuana/THC, which sadly aren't yet legal in my state)?

It depends on what you mean by “loosened up and receptive”.

If you mean mentally, or in terms of general physical relaxation and reduction of inhibition, that’s not what poppers do, and if that’s what you were hoping for, it’s no wonder you were disappointed.

If, on the other hand, you meant specifically loosening up the ass for receiving a cock, then that is the principal benefit of poppers for gay sex, because they act on the body by relaxing soft muscle tissue and expanding blood vessels. We use them for this because there isn’t something else that does the same thing. There may be substances that make one generally more relaxed (or more out of it), or less able to feel the pain or discomfort of penetration (not really an advisable tactic), but nothing gets an ass ready to take a cock quite like poppers. If there were something, there would be whole threads devoted to it here by now.

I would highly recommend hybrid edibles. I was introduced to them last year by a fisting friend. I am not info fisting but I have found they work in relaxing you. I don’t take them often but I have used them if I am going to be playing for a long time. I have found that it makes me calm and receptive to cocks for a while. Even when my hole feels tired or stressed, I’m still able to go at it. I recommend only doing half as a little goes a long way if you’re not a regular user

Same substances have different effects between different people. Some people feel a rush, their face may flush, some can even get blue lips if they inhale too much. For others  it's headache in a bottle. Some people get the so called popper dick and others (fewer) like to fuck and take hits. Plus, poppers are a variety of substances, each one differs. If you wanna get looser you must be into it, you need to relax and the top needs to relax you too. Poppers are the cherry on the top. It's not a pill that you take and voila problem solved.

All good points made here. Poppers aren’t created equally. There are a lot on the market that are crap and does nothing. That being said, everyone reacts differently. Some will give you headaches while others don’t. Some will give you a rush while others calm. You have to find what brand works for you. I stick to Jungle Juice as that’s only mainstream one that does the work

I'd recommend trying compressed air. you can buy it at any office supply store where it's sold as keyboard cleaner.

What kind of rush does compressed air give you?

This is untrue. Poppers are exclusively chemicals in the alkyl nitrite group. The only variation is the number of carbon atoms that makes the difference in whether you’re dealing with amyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, or one of the other nitrites in the group. The effects between members in the group vary slightly, but the principle action is the same.

Any other substance is NOT poppers, and this very emphatically includes ‘Maximum Impact’, which is a completely different chemical, does something completely different to the body (it works as a general anesthetic) and can be deadly.

It is very important that in your search for something to take the place of poppers you fully investigate every potential substance before trying it on your body. Some can be very hazardous, and some - like poppers and viagra - are potentially deadly in combination.

Your body is not a chemistry set. If you treat it like one, things can go very wrong very quickly.

Actually, they pretty much are. Most poppers are produced by a small handful of companies that run the bottles out on the same production line and just put different labels on to promote sales. That bottle of Jungle Juice Black Label you pay extra bank for actually contains exactly the same substance as a bottle of regular Jungle Juice - you’re just paying extra for the label and the fantasy. Plus, it also contains the same stuff that’s in the bottle of Rush, or Pig  Sweat, or Iron Horse, and may have even been poured out of the same batch.

In the United States, essentially all poppers produced and sold are made with isobutyl nitrite. Some brands like Double Scorpio may include additives like fragrances, but isobutyl is isobutyl is isobutyl - you can’t make it ‘stronger’.

A bottle of poppers can, however, seem ‘weaker’, because poppers are highly volatile (or they wouldn’t go up our noses) and the active ingredient evaporates readily. If a bottle is not sealed tightly, it will lose its potency, not because the poppers are weaker, but because there’s not as much of the active chemical left in the bottle.

Overseas, poppers are still sometimes made with other members of the alkyl nitrite group, and you may be able to obtain them over the internet. But they’re still all made the same way, and behave the same way. The apparent wide variety of poppers on the market is pure marketing, and we are happily sniffing their scam straight up our noses and out of our wallets.

Yet one more reason BZ is so much fun.  I'd never even heard of this before; asked the googler, and found out something new.  Very cool, NudistBBBLK !!  Thanks.

I’d recommend not. These cans of ‘air duster’ usually contain hydyflourocarbons (i.e. refrigerants) and propane or butane - yes, like in your gas grill or cigarette lighter. Whiffing this stuff might make you feel a little less inhibited for a few minutes because it impairs your judgment, but you can also get frostbite on your fucking nose and, oh yeah, die. In fact, there’s a long list of fairly shitty things that happen when you start abusing this stuff - check it out:

And no, you’re not somehow magically immune to these effects, like so many seem to think they are.

Indeed. This is why in many states you have to be over 18 and present ID to purchase compressed air cans. Kids these days....

If a guy has just removed his underwear and is fucking me I'll happily grab them and sniff on those whilst he's plowing my ass.

If its been a hot day or even better a hot day and his cock has leaked a few drops of piss and precum then I'll inhale deeply - smells better than poppers too!
