you sniff them. they give you a brief high, a massive headache, and a bigger bumhole. so seeing as this is in the gay section, Id say for you they would be good ;)

Are poppers good? It all depends, like most things in life. They can be harmful if ingested, potentially lethal.
Poppers - the term originally used for the medical drug Amyl Nitrate - had medical benefits but became popular in wider culture.
Today, after Amyl. was generally banned from distribution, other similar chemicals have taken its place - typically isobutyl nitrites. They have been used by straights and gays - eg. they're on sale on my local market, alongside other household items.
Some are now sometimes sold as video head or leather cleaners - if you need to clean your video heads or leather, yes I guess they are good.
Some people love the short-term high they get, after inhaling. They don't appear to do much overall harm and are not rated as a significantly harmful drug, internationally - unlike alcohol and cigarettes etc. Over-use cand damage skin, the nose and possibly lungs.
Recreational Use - usually by sniffing from the small bottles they're in and helps muscles relax, hence used for vaginal and anal relaxation.
Beware - there probably haven't been all risks discovered yet, but the overall picture seems to be of very mild issues, without overdose. But a poison nonetheless and there are different chemicals that have been referred to as 'Poppers', each with different properties.
A negative effect is the lowering of blood pressure and should never be used with Viagra, which does the same.

Traditionally poppers (Amyl Nitrate) were used to aerate a room and improve the ambient mood (an open vial would be left to evaporate and permeate the room).
It is abused by inhaling the vapours in concentration. This increases blood flow and can relax the anal sphincter.
However, it is not "good". Abuse of the substance amyl nitrate can cause thombosis or strokes amongst a number of other things. I would urge you to avoid using it - I don't rate the instant rush obtained against the potential damage it can cause.
I only have to smell the stuff in a room and I'm instantly turned off (so perhaps I'm a freak).

You sniff them from the bottle, they give you a high that can last for about 10Min's, but this decreases the more you use them. They can help to make you relax and be less inhibited for sex. Be warned though they give you one hell of a headache. Drink plenty of water after use. If you spill any on your skin wash it off. Also becareful a tell tale sign of using poppers are red marks and flaky skin around the nostrils. Dont drink, they can be fatal. Hope this helps M8 :-)

of course they are not "good" at all... i cannot understand how people can use it, it smells so bad. Some years back i was working in a gay bar and we sold them (undercover of course) and once i read the brochure that came with it and it said that one of the uses of popper was to deodorize big spaces, like factories and such

There are 2 ways you can use them-to get an instant buzz you can inhale straight from the bottle (place your thumb over one nostril and sniff it the fumes up the other),or you can open the bottle in a room when you're having sex (make sure all doors and windows are shut!) and enjoy sharing the exprience with a partner.

You shake them and break the seal and then open htem. You hold them to each nostril for about three seconds will breathing normally.
No their not good for you, they may not be as harmful as most drugs but your losing brain cells.
And the headaches hurt like hell when you do it
Trust me
Dont use them.
