Have you ever used Amyl/poppers?

If so what were they like for you? I have never used them, and do not want to but a lot of people seem to like them for some reason?

If you used them did you use them during sex, or only while during dancing at bars and discos? Or for both reasons?

I remember the stuff from the old days, when it was the real thing. You couldn't go into a gay club anywhere in the 70's that the smell didn't waft through the air. Back then they were all known colloquially as "jock aroma" because they smelled like a used jock strap. Frankly I always thought they smelled more like sweaty socks.

Tybee did you ever see people sniffing ethyl chloride on rags? I hear that was popular in the 70s.

I have never used any of that, and do not want to. I have met men who told me how I had to try poppers but I saw a guy on Webcam years ago sniff them, and he said they are like sniffing nail polish that is a sex drug, and that they do not even last that long.

Back in those days amyl was the same solution heart patients used to get their heartbeat back on track during angina attacks. Then they were made illegal to be sold on the open market and they came up with the new formula called amyl nitrite sold legally as video head cleaner.

Was that when people thought they caused GRID/AIDS?

A gay friend of mine who is in his 60s was around then and he thinks they may have had something to do with people developing AIDS because like all drugs they are not good for your immune system, and a lot of people would stay out late at bars or dance clubs and use poppers/amyl with other drugs and would not get enough sleep which is also bad for your body.

I've seen them for sale online, in head shops, and in adult bookstores when they were around. I never bought any since I had no interest in using them and they were expensive. My first bisexual ex had some that someone gave him but he had not used them in years, and he found them in a drawer while cleaning.

I have heard of people who sniff them to the extreme and do not simply inhale from the vial but soak cotton balls with them and put them into a large jar, or breathing tube connected to a mask and inhale that way which can't be good for you. Are they highly addictive?

We were compelled to use amyl one time long ago, in order to facilitate the entrance of a monstrous and magnificent sizemeat the size of our leg.

We still recall it as one of the 3 top experiences of our life, especially his loud words: "Oh man, here it comes"!!!!

Maybe emotionally addictive, for some at least. But physically addictive, no, or they wouldn't be allowed to be sold on the open market.

Most people today don't even know where the term "poppers" came from. When they were widely prescribed as a heart medication the solution was in a tiny glass vial covered in a mesh. The patient would snap the vial in half making a pop sound and then sniff the vapors causing vasodilation which enhanced blood flow.

There's a person as a party guest in the movie Pink Flamingos when Divine has a birthday party who sniffs poppers.

I found websites where people review poppers but I am not posting the links here since they are forbidden.

A guy I dated briefly a decade ago told me how he had sex with a bisexual man we know that has what MPC calls sizemeat who is a total bottom and he attempted to top this guy and how he was sniffing poppers and things went limp possibly because of the poppers, or maybe it was because he's a bottom and has no desire to top?

Yes, I think that is one of the side effects. Think about it. You sniff the stuff, your blood vessels immediately dilate increasing blood flow all over the body, so it stands to reason that the ol' machinery downstairs is going to lose maximum turgidity since the blood is rushing everywhere else. :lol

I remember most people back in the day saying they used them because the rush immediately removed all their inhibitions which made the money shot that much more intense.

Do people ever die from poppers/Amyl like they do from sniffing other solvents?

That's one reason why I never used them since they scared me and you would read in the newspaper or hear on the news about kids sniffing solvents like lighter fluid, gasoline, or cleaning products and dying from it.

I seriously doubt it. I've certainly never heard of anyone dying from them. Again, if there was any evidence they were deadly the government would not allow them to be sold. Poppers just dilate the blood vessels causing a rush. Paint thinner and other solvents that people huff actually restrict blood flow to the brain and (I assume) the heart, which could result in death to some.

I thought they got KS not from poppers; but from AIDS, and opportunistic infections that happen with a low T-Cell count?

They figured out long ago that there was really no relationship between KS and poppers. I think it was just that people were getting KS at a time when popper use was rather rampant in the gay community.

We believe what we see, not what we are told to believe by 'scientists' and government/media.

We stand by our first statement.

You are absolutely correct but there was a time, like Mr T said, that terrified gay men linking poppers to KS.

You don't hear much about KS anymore. That was the first tell tale sign if sero-converting. A horrible time, horrible disfigurement. Amazes me how we lived thru it.

Odd yet topical story, an Atlanta based porn star, local gay bar dancer and one time reality show star, age 25, has died due to an epileptic seizure brought on by popper inhalants.

Or so initial investigation indicates.

How many was he inhaling? Was he using them in large amounts like I described people in post 6 doing?

I found this article about the guy that died. I never plan on using them now. Did he have a heart condition?

Gay Atlanta man found dead in Midtown hotel

A 25-year-old gay Atlanta man and adult entertainer was found dead inside a Midtown hotel room on Sept. 4, just days after sharing with friends that he lost his job and was suffering from seizures.

Mehran Chestnut was discovered nude and on the floor of a room in the Hyatt Atlanta Midtown by the man he met online the night before, according to an Atlanta police incident report. After the two connected online on Sept. 3, the man picked Chestnut up from his home and the pair went to the hotel on 10th Street.

"[The man] stated that they both fell asleep around 12:30 a.m. and when he woke up, he tried to wake Mr. Chestnut but he was not responding," according to the incident report. The man then called 9-1-1.

Chestnut was found about 6:30 a.m. holding a bottle of Black Max poppers, according to the incident report. A cause of death has not been determined pending the results of toxicology results, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner. But police are not treating Chestnut's death as a homicide.

Chestnut, who identifies as Kb Love on Facebook, suffered from seizures, according to posts from friends and family members. And he shared text messages with a friend in late August disclosing that he suffered from grand mal seizures, which can include a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions and are often caused by epilepsy.

Warnings for some poppers indicate that a side effect can include grand mal seizures.

Chestnut studied at Atlanta Metropolitan State College and worked on the wait staff of Yard House in Atlantic Station and a P.F. Chang's restaurant, according to his Facebook page. Chestnut, a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, graduated from Alexander High School in Douglasville.

In a text exchange last month, he told a friend that lost his job and didn't have a place to live.

Chestnut performed as a stripper at Atlanta nightclubs and during parties for gay nightlife promoters, including Rockstars Productions and Wet In ATL. He also appeared in gay porn scenes as King B, according to Str8UpGayPorn, which first reported Chestnut's death on Wednesday.

Chestnut appeared in scenes for several studios, including Raging Stallion and NextDoorEbony, where he shot a scene with Atlanta-based performer Tyce Jax in 2014.

Ebony World Media, an Atlanta-based adult entertainment company, was among those posting condolences to Chestnut's Facebook page:

SAD NEWS: Our hearts go out to the friends and family of Kb Love with this tragic news of his passing from this world to the next. In the world of exotic dance and adult entertainment, there are many people with huge egos and attitudes that are often outsized and unwarranted. But KB never once exhibited any of those things. Yes, he was gorgeous to look at, but his soul was — is — kind, easy going and genuine. For projects, he professional and courteous on set and off and a genuine pleasure to work with. We will miss him and our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to all who cared for and loved him. — J. Bernard Jones aka "Christopher Ford," Future Productions/EbonyWorld Media/NubianStrippers Entertainment

In 2013, Chestnut appeared in an episode of "Tha Life Atlanta," a web-based reality series about black gay life in Atlanta. In his appearance, Chestnut discussed how becoming a stripper and porn actor helped lift him up from living homeless behind a MARTA station.

"I actually learned how to financially hold my own money, gain my own money, to live on my own, to basically learn the ATL lifestyle, the gay lifestyle in general and how to go from a low self esteem to a high self esteem. So it really taught me a lot," Chestnut said. (Watch below)
