Poppers, Side effects and doing CPR during an encounter

[+ purplekow]

I do not believe I have seen this topic covered before, at least not in this forum.  

I had an encounter with an escort I have seen several times before.  He likes to PNP.  I generally do not do that and I prefer that it not be done on my time.  However, I had no problem with an escort who like to use poppers though with the hundreds of encounters I have had, the escort has used poppers only once or twice.  Two nights ago, the man I invited to my home was perhaps a bit intoxicated.  Not overly so, more a slightly tipsy drunk, but definitely conversant and aware.  

As we started, he made it clear he would like to be restrained and since I have portable restraints, I was prepared to do this.  After he was secured, he asked me to spray some popper spray onto a towel for him.  I did so.  He took a hit.  The restraints on one hand was long enough for him to reach his face with his hand.  Soon after, he took another and then managed to spray the towel again.  After the third or fourth inhalation,  he was not conscious and he stopped breathing and had no discernable pulse. I tried waking him with a few slaps to the face and then, it was clear to me he was not responsive.  I gave him a few deep breaths of mouth to mouth and then did a brief round of chest compressions and he gasped.   Seconds later he was mumbling and then speaking but not really making sense.  A few seconds later, he was fully awake again.  At that point, he reach for the towel, which I grabbed from his hand and when he protested, I tightened the lose restraint.  I then told him what had happened.  

Strangely enough, he was nonplussed.   I, on the other hand was relieved that I did not have to call the police and explain what happened.  

Knowing that poppers have a short half life and that fatalities from them are very very unusual, I had consented to his using them. I will never be party to that again.  

Has anyone elese had a similar experience?   Other drugs, especially opiates are well recognized for causing this type of situation and in reading about poppers, this kind of thing is very rare, but can occur even in people who have used it many times and also in a first time user.  The need to avoid medications such as Viagra with poppers is well recognized, but his man denied using any erectile enhancing medications.  

For those curious as to what happened afterwards, after a brief time of unwinding from this, we did complete the encounter.  I did take his poppers from him but returned it to him as he left.  We had a second encounter before he left in my pool, but that is another story for another posting.

I've used poppers especially when the D is big but I don't do ANYTHING else, no alcohol or any other things because they drop your blood pressure. Was he topping? Doing something like Viagra/Cialis with Poppers is waiting for a heart attack because of the blood pressure drop. Definitely scary though what happened to you.

No at the time he went out I was four fingers deep.  The first clue was when he stopped moaning.  The poppers did their job, but a bit too well.

Lowers your blood pressure
When using poppers, you’ll often experience a head rush, warm sensations throughout your body, an increased heart rate, dizziness and lightheadedness. These sensations can last from 30 seconds up to a couple of minutes at a time and are caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. In some cases, people who use poppers complain of headaches as a result of the blood vessels in their brain widening. If your blood pressure drops too low, you run the risk of fainting or losing consciousness.

Holy shit, PK. So glad you were able to revive him. I tend to agree, no more poppers for you providers.

Not a cardiologist but if he had no detectable pulse and was not breathing, he was damn close to cardiac arrest but thankfully he responded to limited resuscitative measures. If he is otherwise, young and healthy with no cardiac history, I really have to wonder if, along with his ethanol and poppers, he hadn’t consumed some phosphodiesterase inhibitor along the way. Perhaps he forgot or didn’t want to admit it.
