      Super interesting. To me it smacks of that great line from Tom Sawyer where he determines he'll just have to do the wrong thing (and not turn Jim in).

      If the product is as safe as reported and people enjoy it and he has stayed inside the legal bounds as described....then why should he feel bad about it? Insurance companies make billions denying our claims, he should certainly sleep better than they do.

        The concept of legal highs fascinate me. There's a brief mention in this article of how one producer tweaked the formula to get around a ban, the same way producers of synthetic marijuana and bath salts change their products every time a formula is banned.

      When I woke up this morning to the email alert that this is article of the day I thought “holy shit, this is a great idea for an article! I have no idea about the history of this nor why they are so popular within the LGBTQ community.”

      Interesting read overall. Grateful to receive this education.

      Karenz comment is hilarious! 💓

      I have never had an interest in these myself. I was involved with one man back around 2009 who ordered them by mail and let me try poppers. No me gusta. The smell nauseated me. Knowing I am able to get into an incredibly satisfactory orgasmic state via meditation/yoga and with a high vibe lover is enough satisfaction for me.

      However, I did not know poppers help with relaxing the anus for sex. That would be the selling point for me if I were to integrate them into sex again. I doubt I will yet I remain open.

      This article came out of nowhere to dominate AOTD with truly original content. Why I love ReadUp.

      Fascinating. I’m really surprised Farr gave this interview - what is the motivation here? Pride or guilt? This article could certainly take him down.

      Great article, shining light where there was none! I fell into the category that didn’t know anything about this. Previewed the first paragraphs and it drew me in.

      “I will teach you everything.”

      Respectable move from Farr to cooperate with the story eventually.

      The money is good and reliable, and his 29-year-old son will require a full-time carer for the rest of his life. “I decided if I’m going to sell my soul to the devil, I might as well make money doing it,” said Farr.

      “I’m going to go broke,” he told me, “but I will be in the gay hall of fame.”
