i have lt. brown hair, blue eyes, very fair skin, sunburn easily....as much as i enjoy poppers, i have had a one time only adverse skin reactions: my nose, lips, and cheek skin next to my nose turn red and swollen when using ANY brand of poppers. also, i get a clear discharge out of the skin pores of my nose for part of the day after popper usuage.

can anyone reccommend any OTC salve or burn cream to lessen these undesireable next morning after affects?

I also get raw from popper use. I find Vaseline Intensive care shortly after use helps to fend it off.

This might seem a bit radical... instead of trying to find some "OTC salve or burn cream" you could just stop using poppers.

"Who told you to put the balm on? Did I tell you to put the balm on?"

I wonder what the poppers are doing where you can't see it.

WOW! I've known people get burns from overuse, so could this be the same thing? I've never heard of this kind of thing.

And stupid question, but you are using it right aren't you? The stuff's no supposed to come into contact with your skin.

Poppers kill brain cells. Why do you guys indulge in this?

This is what I don't miss about not hooking up anymore. Gay men are usually so obsessed with using some sort of substance when having sex. It's always some toy or popper bullshit. It's always some external object or thing utilized in the hopes to increase sexual pleasure. I find it all so off-putting.

I think if you use whippets instead that might be better for you.

Poppers are Amyl nitrite and are used in over-the-counter products, such as air fresheners and video head cleaners

I'm sorry but if you're getting aftereffects serious enough to be causing skin and nasal membrane irritation you're harming your body
chronic sinus problems
increased intra orbital pressure

moderation in anything never hurt

Why do people on here become so judgemental. The question was how to resolve a problem, not whether or not it was good for you, or what your beliefs are about it. If you can't answer the question without becoming critical than why not pass it by.

Have you ever tried it in bong water? Not to drink, but to use with the bong.

No, sounds interesting though.

Exactly.

People come here to find advice and ask questions, because they feel its a safe environment in which to do so. Cursing at and belittling people doesn't usually help.

So, please jump down off your high horse, climb down off the pedestal, step off the soap box, take off the robe and put down the gavel.

Have a great day!

Koaa2 saidWhy do people on here become so judgemental.

The "judgemental" people were suggesting stopping the use of poppers, to end his reaction misery.

One person was critical of popper use as an enhancer. This is exactly the type of response you should expect on such a thread.

'Scuse me for this crass metaphor, but "My head hurts when I pound it on my desk. Anything I can take for that?" Answer: yes, a salve.

It just screams for a judgemental response.

Sorry...but what are poppers?

In2LectualBlkMan saidSorry...but what are poppers?

Wiki says: "Poppers is the street term for various alkyl nitrites taken for recreational purposes through direct inhalation[1], particularly amyl nitrite, butyl nitrite and isobutyl nitrite.[2][3] Amyl nitrite has a centuries-long history of safe use in treating angina,[1] as well as an antidote to cyanide poisoning.[4][5] Amyl nitrite and several other alkyl nitrites which are used in over-the-counter products, such as air fresheners and video head cleaners, may be inhaled to enhance sexual pleasure.[6] Use is particularly prominent among urban gay men.[6] These products have long been part of the club culture from the 1970s disco scene to the 1980s and 1990s rave scene.[7]"

Personally, I have no idea why people use them. If sex isn't pleasurable enough for two gay men, perhaps they need to consider women? That's always been my question. Personally, just natural sex does it for me just fine. But back on topic - if you want to stop the irritation, then stop use if it's so common. Different people have different reactions and perhaps you're just not meant to sniff a bottle of nitrites.

just saying forums arent just supposed to be sweet. Nowhere does it say if you dont agree with poppers dont answer. Forums are there for each of us to voice our own opinions. So tired of reading responses that then guys say well if you have something negative to say about this topic just dont post. Like I said its our own opinion one guy said to stop using to stop getting that effect on your skin. and another said why do people use poppers in the first place. Neither I think are off subject so therefore they are not doing any harm. If you cant deal with someones opinion on a subject, and get all flustered over it, then maybe somewhere deep inside you may actually agree with them....just sayin!

Not interested in doing anything that would tend to tear down my body. Not saying I never did anything like poppers a few times back in the party days - but I stopped all that crap long ago. Message to younger guys: If you want to look and feel great in your late 40s, you have to treat your body right - starting a.s.a.p.

Given the fact that this site is geared toward health and fitness, it should come as no surprise that some members will advocate abstaining from the use of substances that adversely effect the body. If such opinions cannot be tolerated, perhaps the best solution would be to consult privately with a physician rather than post in a public forum.

I don't think the question was whether on not he thought it was good for him, only how to resolve the problem from using them.

Sometimes I think there is a lot of guilt out there, and to cover the quilt, there are responses that are on the judgemental, parenting and lecturing side.

If he wanted to know if poppers were good for you than he would have asked.

Easy. STOP using poppers, dumb asses.

Can't think of an OTC cream/salve you can use... but I am going to side with the people who suggest that you stop using poppers. It's one sure-fire way to avoid these unpleasant side-effects.

Couldn't agree with you more. So the guy wants to use poppers. How many of you jugemental types are still using steroids to bulk up, huh?

As to "popper nose" THAT'S why the bushy mustaches were so popular among Gay men in the late '70's; they hid the zits and burns from over use of poppers.

One way is to simply keep the bottle a finger's width away from the skin on your nose or lip. Another way is to take a small bit of cotton ball, soak it in the poppers, and put it in an empty, cleaned-out popper bottle. You'll still get the fumes, but with less of the liquid contact. If you do feel the sharp chill of skin contact, have a wet washcloth nearby and use that to wipe it off of your skin immediately.

Nowadays, poppers are no longer sold using the old Amyl Nitrate; now they're using Butyl Nitrite, which seems to be less caustic, and doesn't cause the same headaches like the older formulations.

Damn, you must really like the way the poppers feel to put up with that. Nothing even remotely attractive sounding about waking up next to a guy with "clear discharge" coming out of his pores...ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[quote]....Nothing even remotely attractive sounding about waking up next to a guy with "clear discharge" coming out of is pores...ewwwwwwwwwwwwww![/quote] considering what most guys over 30 look like upon awakening, i NEVER spend the entire night!

that is one of the side effects.

poppers increase your blood vessels' size, drop your blood pressure, among other things.

Since it makes your blood vessels bigger, then blood flows to the external part of your skin. Imagine yourself running 5k in 30 min, your body would need to cool down and to do so it opens the blood vessels, hence the red skin.

i have edited my initial starting post of this thread for the clarity of the more obsessive-complusive queens here....this undesireable side effect happened ONLY ONE TIME!! i do not suffer these side effects everytime i use poppers...

Oh - well that changes everything, dude! Only one time? Oh man - well, what the hell? Go right ahead then and have at it with your poppers! Have a great time - and if you think guys past 30 don't look so hot first thing in the morning - well, pal, what the frickin' hell do you think you're going to look like IF you even make it to 30?

So if gay sex is not healthy for you, should you health freaks not stop doing it.

i sense a great deal of anger and hostility eminating from you and your postings, JB!

CHILL, brutha! there ARE other view points in the world besides YOURS!

i am slightly older than you, and (judging by your pics) better looking than you....but that is MY opinion, lololol.

Probably good you don't spend the night, cuz one gander at you first thing in the morning with your leaky nose pores and I seriously doubt you'd be invited back

you say gay sex is not healthy for you... its not healthy if u practice these ways of going about things, I am talking about bareback, poppers, any other party play drugs. Yea can agree that anything can happen that may make life end abrubtly, but wouldnt it be nice to know that you didnt do it to yourself. Come on now if you are going to rebut a statement at least have good points in it, and defend the statement you are standing by.

if you would actually READ what i posted you would realize your questions and assertions are incorrect, exaggerated and are the emotional ravings of a drama queen.

but, to answer you and your statements:

i do not "...need poppers to get off" as you specify; i enjoy OCCASSIONAL use of poppers to heighten an already enjoyable sexual encounter.

repeating ONCE AGAIN, the undesireable side effect happened the last time, ONE TIME only, and i am asking experienced users how to avoid it and properly minimize/treat the condition.

CJ, are you a Bushbarian Republican? you sure do sound like one!

Ummmmm, yeah, ya got a problem with that, Mister Invisible?

Hey buddy - I don't think you'll find many "experienced users" of poppers and other shit that tears down the body on this site. Did you make a wrong turn somewhere? This is a health/fitness site....not some intervention center.

Once it starts, it doesn't stop, it only gets worse. The only way to avoid it is to avoid poppers. I have a friend who abused them so much all he needs to do is get near somebody who has been using poppers and he breaks out. It ain't pretty. So, I too will advise you to stop using them.

Ask the "Super Male Model"...maybe HE knows how to cure "Popper Pussing"

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that "ANY brand of poppers" causes an adverse reaction when, at the same time, you insist that you've had "a one time only" reaction?

Yes, do tell....Inquiring minds want to know???????

You're thinking of g0ys. Guys who abstain from gay(anal?)sex because of it's unhealthy side effects, among other things.



Also, if you need poppers to experience significant sexual pleasure, shouldn't you consider that the actual sex must be lacking if you need an enhancer?

If health and what you're going to look like in ten years doesn't matter to you, I wouldn't worry about the popper nose thing, since it only happened once.

I don't know CJ personally but all of this slandering is completely unwarranted. His being Republican has nothing to do with sharing his opinion, which you orignally asked of everyone on RealJock by posting this thread. I'm a democrat and I also feel you should simply stop using poppers if you experience adverse side effects. It's the same as being alegic to walnuts or almonds. Most people have the snese to avoid the consumption of that which may endanger their own life.

Still surprised?

wow. I'm so naive. I thought that this thread was going to be about large zits.

ha ha - yeah. I had to look up poppers on Wikipedia because I had no idea what people were talking about.

I don't really feel the need to snort air freshener or VHS cleaner up my nose.

SOME people here seem to have NO sense of humor!

Couldn't agree with you more. They obviously aren't having good sex with whomever they are sleeping with. Why the need for poppers, I'll never understand. Inexperienced? Or just stupid?

First of all, he asked a question that most gay old dudes should know about, or at least most coming from the 70's & 80's. The fact that this is a gay FITNESS site has no difference, but this IS a GAY site non the less and poppers are a big part of the "gay" sex world. Most str8 people do not do this stuff or even heard of it. From what I've read, I've seen a lot of lame cocky attitude from old guys who think they are better than others to balance out there lack of self esteem in a "gay world" full of goodlooking ( better looking ) young boys.
Anyways - don't bother talking sh*it to me because I'm done with this post and won't read it. Of course go ahead if u need to blow off more steam. lol
As for his question, If you are having this effect it is most likely because you are getting the liquid on your skin in the moment of passion, and not washing it off immediately. This will cause the problem, and since it only happened once, just be more careful next time or like that one guy said, the cotton ball in the empty bottle.
For all your ignorant asses, poppers is only a sexual enhancer that one can do once in a while and not have harmful effects from it. The little brain cells it may destroy are replaced, we are destroying and producing them all the time on a regular basis. The effect of using poppers can make you very relaxed in the anal area if your having pain from "getting it", this takes the pain away and gives a rush of hardcore sexual feelings - quite amazing. Or if you do it right before shooting, it's a different type of rush and major orgasm. It does not make sex without it worse, it's like trying something different now and then, keeps sex fresh and good for couples to spice it up now and then. It's for some people, not for others. It certainly does not mean that you are not enjoying sex. My BF and I have the best sex ever after 6 years, it's even better than it was in the beginning. Poppers now and then is just a fun add on, and our only add on, we do not do other drugs or toys, etc...( as said by the one cocky ignorant dude at the beginning of the thread ) . Since you guys know nothing about poppers, you shouldn't comment bull-sh*it when someone is asking help. lame.
Good luck to all of you trying out poppers for the first time, lol. And don't get it on your skin. p.s. poppers are great at the gym.

RE*******Couldn't agree with you more. They obviously aren't having good sex with whomever they are sleeping with. Why the need for poppers, I'll never understand. Inexperienced? Or just stupid?********
****************************************
Actually, you are the stupid one dude who "like you said" will never understand. And you are the one who is inexperienced in the use of poppers and understanding how and what they are used for and why.

Stop using poppers, can't you just bite down on a pillow like everyone else?

Can anyone point to a credible study on the effects of popper usage. I see a lot of comments but nothing of a scientific nature.

Alkyl Nitrites (like Amyl, Butyl and Isobutyl) work by dilating your blood vessels. If you have chest or heart problems, anemeia or glaucoma then even one hit can be extremely dangerous. It's also not a good idea to try it if you are taking Viagra or medication to lower your blood pressure - it can cause your blood pressure to drop to a dangerously low level.

That's WHY poppers are bad for you, and I'm sure you will be able to find dozens of studies to back that up. Having said that, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that they relax your ass muscles, improve the duration of your erection, and give a serious head rush when cumming. I'm more than happy to volunteer if anybody wants to do a study on that!

If you don't like somebody, dip the end of their cigarette in a bottle - they are highly flammable and it'll probably take off their eyebrows! Also goes without saying that you shouldn't take them while you are dancing (you'll feel weak and dizzy), are toxic if swallowed, and can (of course) give you a nasty popper rash if they come in to contact with your skin.

I once snorted so much amyl nitrate my face went blue! Oh, those were the days.

From red...

To blue....

Now that'd be something to see.

Chapstick / lipsyl for chapped lips is by far the best remedy for this.

Yeah; here's an idea.


quit sniffing shit you're not supposed to be sniffing. Fuck.

Exactly what Funk said.


Idiot.

C'mon guys, the white horses are this way! We even got some on pedestals!

I would suggest wearing a condom...
