So it looks like my popper party's over
​
I started developing lung issues from my popper use (only amyl) thanks to bad genes and years of cigarettes. I was sticking to weekend use only, I haven't actually smoked in over a decade, but they still irritated my lungs to the point of getting regular chest infections. So I stopped. After over a year off, I finally gave in and bought a few from the recent TB sale. My lungs were feeling good after such a long break, I hadn't had a single issue since, there's a 40% discount - and hey, we might all die tomorrow! You can imagine how excited I was.
Well, it only took one night. Had a play Friday, by Saturday I had that familiar bad taste in the back of my throat, my lungs were rattling and then I was coughing up that thick yellow/green flem again.
One session after what must be at least 15 months of abstinence and it's like I've been bating for months into illness 😭
Also, even after such a long break I still didn't get the euphoria I used to feel when I first started using poppers. Like most fun in life, tolerance develops and you need to reset, that's nature's deal. So I was hoping...but even that was pretty meh.
So in the end it simply ain't worth it anymore for me, the popper party's over. It was great for a while and it certainly opened me up in more ways than one - actually it still enhanced anal play, but nowhere near enough to justify the physical cost. I am going to miss that blissful slutty state of mind, but I know I can manage without. Wishing all you other baters the best - huff on!
