My experiences with poppers came about in a strange way. I actually found a bottle in my front garden and out of curiousity decided to try it, but not until carefully researching. Being 2014, it was Isopropyl Nitrite. I used it for about a week - just solo masturbation - and found it amazing, a massive boost to my fantasy life. Timing was important, as was delivery. I used a tissue inside a folded sock (to keep the liquid off my face). Just a quick tip up and back with the tissue held against the bottle was more than enough, though I found it evaporated very quickly. Like I say, timing was important.

I found myself enjoying my fantasies with wild abandon. Eventually I went too far and decided I didn't like the animal effect it had on me, and tipped the rest of the bottle. The next week I was a little depressed and couldn't even be bothered to masturbate to relieve my mood. I decided I had to get some more, this time I bought some more of the same brand, along with another brand.

Now, I know they're all the same in principle - Isopropyl Nitrite. But the second brand had markedly stronger negative effects on me. I suffered visual problems on every use (something like an ocular migraine) which took a good half an hour to pass. This bothered me. I also found the mental effect more 'fierce' - quick and heavy. I decided to switch to the brand I knew, and used it for a further two weeks, experimenting with dose and timing for best effect.

The problem came when I got a heavy cold, which went to my chest and necessitated antibiotics to fend off the secondary infection. I didn't use poppers when I was ill, but once I'd started to recover, so about 3 days into the Amoxy. On this occasion I sniffed about double the normal amount as I was trying to extend the timing and quite a lot of it evaporated. Everything was normal until I'd gone to bed; my coughing was non-stop my chest tight and breathing became short and fast.

Cut a long story short I ended up in A&E (ER) for the first time in my life with a medical emergency. My blood oxygen levels had dropped to 90% and I needed 3 lots of nebulizers. The diagnosis hyper-reactive airways, which is a life-long over-sensitivity in some people.

It might be just a coincidence. But it did seem weird I was getting better then suddenly needed emergency treatment. I might be misunderstanding the biochemistry, and maybe I just had a particularly bad infection. I was clear with the medical staff about my use of poppers the previous day and they did not mention them as a possible cause.

Most users would probably not use poppers with a chest infection. Many users would choose a different delivery method. But I felt I ought to record my experience as honestly as possible in case of a genuine link.
