Anyone know what's the stuff pornstars put up their nose during shoots

What does it do and is it even legal?

they are called poppers (amyl nitrite) and yes they are legal (in the US at least). They produce a quick "high", but personally when I tried them, years ago, the headache afterwards was so not worth it.

Thanks for the knowledge.:heart::heart:

The active ingredient in poppers (amyl nitrite) is fully legal and pretty potent stuff; it has long since been used in medicine for angina pectoris. As is the case concerning ANY truly potent substance it must be handled and used with care.

when I see two hot guys going at it I think wow--this is awesome--then when I see them snorting anything like that its a big turn off--one its silly and two--poppers they say make you high but what they really do is mellows you out like marijuana to deaden the pain---I have talked to guys that used them that are bottoms and they say they can get screwed by an elephant and probably wouldn't feel it



why do tops take them I never talked to any tops that have used them but that's what I have heard

That is not my experience - but as with most things chemical, your mileage may vary.

Amyl Nitrate, to my knowledge, is not available over the counter in the US. I haven't had actual amyl since the early 80's. But I believe it is still available in other countries. In the US we have alkyl nitrites, mostly isopropyl nitrite and isobutyl nitrite. But the effect is the same.

But here is what they do for me.

• I feel hot. I blush. I feel a head rush.
• It makes me very sensitive to touch, skin contact, and sexual pleasure. While sexual touch always feels great, sexual touch after sniffing poppers is amazing.
• I want to fuck. Like, right NOW. They don't make me horny, per se - the make me want to immerse myself in sex.
• They relax my inhibitions, but only if that's what I want.
• The effect only lasts a few minutes, but as it wears off it leaves me relaxed an happy.

Basically the key word with poppers is "intense". It makes sex intense, dancing intense, performing intense.

Side effects - not much to speak of if you are young and healthy.

• Poppers work by dilating your blood vessels, and increasing your heart rate. This brings a flood of oxygen to your brain along with the vapor, which is what intensifies the effect. Alkyl nitrites however, leave the body quickly, which is why you can't become addicted.
• You can get dizzy. Some people get a headache, kind of like an ice cream headache.
• They can make it slightly more difficult to hold an erection, since the mechanics of erections relies on constricting blood in your dick.
• If you are prone to heart problems or on medication poppers could make things worse. Don't do it.
• Not recommended if you are taking Viagra. Both drugs alter blood pressure. Seriously, people have died combining them together.

Other than that, used in moderation there is not much to worry about. You are not going to end up date raped or in rehab.

the thing about this is I didn't ever need a drug to make me wanna get fucked--that's usually done by my hormones saying hey fuck me pound my ass good

if you want to use them more power to you--if I see a porn with guys using them I quit watching it--if its on my computer I delete it but its my freedom not to watch it its yours to use them

anything if abused is harmful-- people smoking pot isn't harmful unless you do it daylight to dark then in time it will fry your brains

as in date rape--cant rape the willing when it comes to sex its when a guy or guys beat you up break nose crack few ribs that makes it rape in my opinion nothing wrong with aggressive sex just bruises and broken bones aren't necessary

the pain is part of it--and if trust the guy you are with then your ass will relax on its own--ive been fucked by guys up to 11 inches and the thing about being to relaxed it could cause more harm to your hole than good

This might be a little off subject but I've heard from some friends of mine that poppers may compromise the immune system or increase one's chances of getting HIV.....Does anyone know if there is any truth to either?

i wrote a long answer on this subject a few years ago, i will try to find it and report back.

google it and trust me you will see they aren't as safe as think they are--this is copied from one page I read--

WHAT ARE POPPERS?
Poppers is the popular name for various alkyl nitrites, including isobutyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, and amyl nitrite. Doctors used to prescribe amyl nitrite for heart patients. The drug was packaged in capsules that were broken or "popped" to release vapors. Today, amyl nitrite is made and sold illegally. Most poppers are now isobutyl nitrite or butyl nitrite. They are sold in small brown bottles as video head cleaner, room deodorizer, or leather cleaner. Exact contents of these products are not known and they are not tested for safety.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS?
Poppers are used by sniffing the vapors from an open bottle. The effects are felt within a few seconds and last for 1-2 minutes. Poppers cause muscles around blood vessels to relax, making your heart speed up to pump more blood. Because poppers cause muscles in the anus and vagina to relax, they are often used during sex.
BE CAREFUL!
If swallowed, call 911 or Poison Control.
Contact with the skin causes irritation and rashes.
Extensive use can damage the nose and lungs.
Some people experience headaches, sensations of spinning or falling, and loss of erection.
Poppers are highly flammable. Keep away from cigarettes, candles, and lighters.
Avoid forcing air into your nose if it is stuffed. This can cause ear and sinus infections.
Studies show that poppers reduce the functioning of the immune system for several days after use.
Studies show that guys who use poppers are more likely to get infected with HIV and other STDs.
Poppers pose extra risks for people who have suppressed immune systems, heart problems, low or high blood pressure, a history of cerebral hemorrhaging, or anemia. They also pose higher risks for women who are pregnant.
Avoid using poppers with other drugs, especially stimulants like speed and cocaine. Combining poppers and Viagra is dangerous and can be lethal, because both cause blood pressure to drop.
Poppers can affect your judgment when you are having sex. Put on a condom before you use them.
Poppers will burn skin. To prevent spilling, pour a small amount in a separate bottle filled with cotton

Yes, because nitrates dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow it's much easier for the virus to find it's way in. Sort of like leaving the gate unlatched...

*** As someone with a severe heart condition, I'm well informed as to the effects of nitrates on the body...

Thanks for all that info. One more reason for me to not use them. Another reason is that I think it smells like fresh shit.

I hate it when a guy I thought I was going to have sex with says before anything else "got any amyl?". My response is a curt no, and really I feel like adding "Is it me you are interested in, or amyl?'

I am then happy to drop the subject, but on several occasions we have got action under way, only for it to be punctuated by his saying "Gee I wish we had some amyl." A few times, to their stunned surprise, I have called a halt to proceedings, saying "Sorry this is not working for me", which is the truth. It doesn't do much for my libido to be told that I'm kinda sorta turning him on but not so much as if he had his precious amyl.

By the way, it's amyl nitrite (or butyl nitrite, or whatever). Not nitrate. That one letter difference is vitally important, because amyl nitrate could kill you.

Let me say only a short comment: I'm really, really very proud of you and your good and healthy point of view.:thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

Poppers never really did anything for me when I used them previously several years back and from what I'm reading now, no real reason to revisit those days now or in the future.

This question offers a good example of the need to separate correlation from causation. Many well educated persons have jumped to the conclusion that the correlation between disease and nitrite inhaltion is proof that the latter is a health risk. Some of them have willed that to be true because they can't stand the thought of somebody else having too much fun.
Amyl was used for over a hundred years as the treatment for angina pectoris, during that time it was used by millions of patients, most of them in very poor health. It never killed any of them and has proved to be an amazingly safe drug. Many popular bad habits, like coke, meth and tobacco raise blood pressure and give your heart a hard time. Nitrite does not raise it, it lowers blood pressure, which only a problem if you already suffer from unusaly low bp. Which is a problem if you combine poppers with viagra, that will make your bp dangerously low. Not even I will mix those two, to keep your hard-on use a cockring instead.
Looking at the statistics, it seems that those who are regular popper users are at greater risk of sexualy transmitted infections, and there is a strong correlation here. But before jumping to the wrong conclusion consider all the lifestyle factors. The heavy huffers are the ones with the frantic sex lives. Look at it holisticaly. A life of late nights in the clubs and glory holes means not enough sleep, not enough good food, and usualy too much smoking and drinking. These are all factors which run down your bodies immunity.
It is interesting to look at what happened in France when there was a total ban on poppers, gay men turned to using stronger illegal drugs instead. Result, a sharp increase in crime and a sharp reduction in gay mens health. The ban was quickly and quietly reversed.
Does this stuff lower your immunity?, yes it does, most drugs do, but unlike other drugs, nitrites are very quicky eliminated from the body. The effect is too short lived to be a factor in the slow process of converting from HIV negative to positive.
There is a danger that , because this stuff makes you hornier than a dog with two cocks (or it does for me at least), you will forget all you know about safe sex and just go for it without a care. That does happen, when it does it's your own fault. Blaming the drug is just an excuse. As a grown adult you make your own decisions about the importance of precautions during sex. Good poppers make you ravenous for cock or should I say even more ravenous than usual. You can satisfy that hunger without barebacking. If you know for a fact that you are both negative, or both positive, then you can just go for it anyway, poppers or no poppers.
Nitrites increase the bloodflow on the surface of the skin, this is one of the many ways in which they add to the pleasure of sex. This increased bloodflow does mean that it becomes easier for the virus to pass from one body to the other, because it needs to get into the blood. It makes no difference for a bacterial infection like gonorrhea which attacks from the surface. In practice oral sex is still very low risk, with or without the extra bloodflow, and barebacking is still potentialy very high risk, with or without the extra bloodflow. If you don't have a need for safer sex then it makes no difference. If you do have a need to practice safer sex then the condom will protect you or your partner, with or without the extra bloodflow. But only if you actualy use it, if you forget, it's your own fault, not the poppers.

For up to date information there is a user group on Reddit, search there for "Popperpigs" no need to join to read it.

On a lighter note, here is a studboy enjoying a bottle of Jungle Jiuce Platinum which is one of the best you can buy if you can find it.
I wish I was there to share it with him.

This is an interesting hypothesis, but no studies have shown the use of poppers themselves increasing HIV transmission. And, believe me, there were many studies in the 1980's looking for this link because it was one of the first suspected causes.

The fact of the matter is that once HIV is in the body, either it survives or it doesn't. How fast it travels doesn't really make much difference.

I think most researchers accept that men who use poppers are more likely to contract HIV, but only because of correlation not causation. That is, the demographic that use them tend to be the same demographic who have lots of casual sex partners anyway, and they are also more likely to be the people that use other drugs, legal or illegal, including alcohol, that will impair their judgment regarding safe sex.

There ARE medical dangers from nitrites, but acquiring HIV is not one of them. (Or at least that's the currently accepted wisdom.)
