Anal sex on poppers

The Therapeutic Goods Administration failed to consider the therapeutic uses of alkyl nitrites — including their use in receptive anal sex — when they proposed to ban the inhalants, LGBT health advocates have warned. The TGA will meet sexual health physician Vincent Cornelisse and community health advocate Daniel Reeders on Thursday after the pair made a submission warning a ban would criminalise the practice of an estimated 90, adult gay and bisexual men who use the inhalant during intercourse. After its interim decision in September, the TGA is conducting consultation on its proposal to ban alkyl nitrites, which has triggered a backlash over its discriminatory impact on gay and bisexual men. Amyl nitrate is the most common form of the drug.

Poppers are a liquid drug that can give an instant high when inhaled. Other names for it are amyl nitrate, butyl nitrite, and liquid gold. The effects of poppers appear quickly and include dizziness, warm sensations, an increased heart rate, and headaches.

Popper is a slang term given broadly to drugs of the chemical class called alkyl nitrites that are inhaled. Most widely sold products include the original isoamyl nitrite or isopentyl nitrite , and isopropyl nitrite. Isobutyl nitrite was also used until it was banned by the European Union.
