The recreational use of poppers is typically an attempt to enhance a sexual experience. The head rush, euphoria, and sensations of relaxation that result from a drop in blood pressure are often felt to increase sexual arousal. At the same time, the relaxation of the sphincter [anus] muscle can make penetration easier. Similarly, a temporary reduction of the stiffness of the erection can also make penetration easier or more comfortable, so long as an adequate degree of stiffness is retained. Some people find poppers can also moderate their gag reflex, which makes giving blow jobs easier. Others report that poppers can enhance and prolong orgasms.
While anecdotal evidence reveals that men can find the experience of using poppers pleasurable, this experience is not universal. Some people report that the smell of second-hand poppers (which delivers a relatively small dose) can cause head-aches and nausea. Some men find that poppers can interfere with their ability to maintain an erection. These undesirable effects occur for most people as exposure increases, reducing the likelihood of an overdose.
