First of all, you should understand what effect any poppers have on health. The main component of the drug is nitrite. Its use allows you to relax well the smooth muscles, which also include the muscles of the vagina and anus. Inhalation of the pathogen decreases pressure, and blood flow increases. Thanks to this, the heart begins to work much faster, and the person feels relaxation. Due to the increased blood flow to organs and tissues, the sensations from tactile contacts are enhanced. All this is accompanied by euphoria, pleasure and bliss. The result from using poppers lasts up to 7-10 minutes.

All of the above properties have become the reason for the popularity of bottles with poppers. They are often chosen by visitors to clubs and lovers of intense sensations during sex.

The positive effects of alkyls include a whole range of effects, including:

• a surge of euphoria and insane happiness;
• general relaxation and enjoyment of life;
• a stronger libido and a keener desire for intimacy;
• easy penetration of the penis into the vagina or anus by relaxing the muscles;
• more thrill from intercourse and intense orgasm.

However, there is a list of serious contraindications, the presence of which prohibits the use of the drug, since it can cause severe harm to the body. So, poppers cannot be inhaled if:

Is poppers harmful to health?

Any drug, including poppers, is harmful if used incorrectly. Accordingly, it is important to carefully study the instructions that come with the product. Only after studying all possible contraindications can an aromatic pathogen be taken.

If you follow all the recommendations for the use of the drug, that is, use poppers correctly, harm to health is significantly minimized or eliminated.

The main component of poppers is alkyl nitrite or amyl nitrite. For a long time, this substance has been used by doctors to help those suffering from angina pectoris. Amyl nitrite is also used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning. Since 1969, it has been sold by prescription only in the United States.

Today it is known that poppers can greatly harm the human body. This is constantly confirmed by new reviews on sites and thematic forums.

Many people who want to get a thrill and relax also wonder if poppers are addictive. There is no evidence that physical dependence results from drug use. However, the human psyche can get used to poppers. Experts emphasize that those who have tried the pathogen once to enhance sensations during sex tend to use the drug for intimate sensations all the time. This is especially common among young people who belong to certain subcultures.

Poppers side effects

In order to minimize the possible negative consequences that poppers give, side effects must be studied especially carefully. Not everyone is susceptible to them, but knowing about possible unpleasant situations will help eliminate troubles.

If you periodically use products with amyl nitrite, the following side effects are possible:

• during intercourse, blood pressure drops significantly and angina pectoris is observed. This is especially often recorded in those who additionally took Viagra. In addition, the use of poppers together with other drugs to enhance the pleasure of intercourse can threaten a heart attack and even death;
• The use of the drug by men with poor erections can cause even greater erectile dysfunction.As a result, the ability to have sex is lost;
• in some cases, increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma are possible;
• if the drug is inhaled too often, there is a greater likelihood of overdose administration;
• if, instead of inhaling, the person drank poppers, methemoglobinemia begins. Symptoms of this phenomenon include headache, shortness of breath, weakness. Loss of consciousness, coma and even death may also occur;
• open contact of poppers with skin causes a burn, and dermatitis begins in the area of the mouth and nose;
• Poppers are often traumatic during sex. This is due to non-standard and sometimes dangerous forms of sexual activity, which include anal intercourse and fisting;
• control of consciousness decreases, which pushes a person to promiscuous sexual intercourse. This increases the risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Frequent inhalation of poppers can lead to negative consequences such as:

• bronchial asthma and obstructive bronchitis. As a result, the work of the respiratory system can be significantly impaired and fatal;
• runny nose and nasal septum perforation;
• ulcers on mucous tissues;
• dermatitis in the nose and near the mouth, that is, in the areas where the drug gets through inhalation;
• hemolytic anemia;
• destruction of the vessel walls, leading to thrombosis, atherosclerosis or vasculitis. A person who takes poppers too often has intermittent bleeding.
• Thus, if pathogens are used very often and in large quantities, even a healthy body is in danger.

It is important to consider that poppers are nitrites, which are chemically active substances. This fact should stop those who decide to use the drug without examining all the possible negative consequences. But, if you use drugs with nitrites in reasonable quantities, then harm to the body is excluded or minimal. However, ignoring any recommendation from the instructions for use of poppers can cause major health problems. In no case should you ingest alkyl nitrites or combine their use with alcoholic beverages and drugs.
