If you spend time on Popperbate, you may already know PoppersPig, not because he performs or puts on a show, but because he expresses his sexuality with remarkable clarity, intention, and confidence. His setup is instantly recognisable: carefully chosen lighting, thoughtful styling, a dedicated goon chair, and a visible pride in the bottles that accompany his sessions. What stands out is not spectacle but authenticity. Everything he presents, the aesthetics, the mood, the rhythm, reflects who he is when he allows himself to inhabit desire without apology.
His motto, “Good gooning starts in the head,” captures this perfectly. For him, gooning is not a visual performance for others; it is a mental and emotional space, a way of tuning into his own erotic flow. What he shares publicly is simply the outward trace of an inward experience, and that makes him an important voice in a community where people explore their sexuality in many different ways.
In this report, PoppersPig speaks openly about discovering poppers, his online routines, the role of submission in his play, and how the landscape of poppers has changed over the past decade. His reflections offer a grounded, personal perspective on how poppers intersect with identity, pleasure, and community.
This is PoppersPig’s story.
How long have you been using poppers and when did you discover them?
I first came into contact with poppers about ten years ago, at a moment when I was looking for something to help me with fisting. It worked surprisingly well, and it immediately showed me how poppers can change sensation and focus. At the same time, my first reaction was very honest: wow, this smell is intense, actually quite bad, but also powerful.
What does your usual poppers session look like?
My usual online poppers session, and I think many people are online-only users, always starts with getting dressed. I am really into what I call my “faggot outfits.”
Then I browse through various webcam rooms. I am submissive by nature, so I look for a poppers master… which is difficult, because it feels like 95% of people online are bottoms.
My sessions unfold slowly and intentionally. They often last for several hours because I really enjoy sinking into the gooning experience. Sometimes I wear a chastity cage, sometimes I do not, it depends on the mood and the direction the session takes.
How often do you use poppers?
How do you choose your poppers?
When I started, I chose bottles mostly based on the name or the design. But I quickly realised that not every formula agreed with me. Some varieties caused nausea or headaches, which made me pay more attention to the underlying nitrite type instead of the branding.
What are your tips or recommendations?
One thing I learned early is that I cannot use poppers on an empty stomach. If my body is not grounded, if it has “nothing to do,” I do not feel well. Eating beforehand makes a noticeable difference in how I tolerate the effects.
If I had to give general advice, it would be this: Start with medium-strength bottles across the different nitrite types, and take time to figure out how each one affects you. People often treat poppers as if they are interchangeable, but small differences can matter a lot. It really does take time to find the formula that fits your body. For me,formula matters more than brand. At the moment, my favourites come from Twisted Beast.
In short: the dose makes the poison. If you already feel unwell, do not take poppers, and never overdo it.
A practical tip: use poppers on a surface that you can wipe clean easily. If anything spills onto porous material, the smell will stay for days.
What is the role of poppers in the gay community?
I believe poppers play a significant role. They lower inhibitions just slightly, and even though the effect is short, that moment of openness can make a big difference. I am bisexual, but among my gay friends and in online spaces, poppers are extremely widespread. And it is not just men, I know some women who use them as well.
What has changed over the last ten years?
One thing I have noticed is that formulas feel weaker today. Because of that, I have narrowed down my choices to just two varieties that still give me the effect I want. I occasionally buy something different out of curiosity, but most bottles no longer deliver the same intensity they used to.
What do you think about the future of poppers?
It is hard to predict, but I do not think poppers will disappear. They have a place, they fulfill a purpose, and many people will continue using them. The forms and formulas might change, but the desire for what they provide will not.
Conclusion
PoppersPig’s account is a reminder of something we see again and again in this community: poppers are never just a product. They are a set of practices, rituals, and personal meanings. For some, they are a bedroom tool; for others, a social connector; and for people like PoppersPig, they become a creative medium, part of the composition of a scene, a mindset, a way of dropping into deep focus and release.
His reflections underline how far poppers culture is from a single narrative. It is a mosaic of thresholds, preferences, bodies, and identities. People approach it as beginners, explorers, ritualists, or long-time users steadily refining what works for them. By speaking so openly, PoppersPig adds to the living history of how poppers are used, understood, and embodied today, not as stereotypes or clichés, but as tools of pleasure, grounding, and self-expression.
Like every report in this series, his story affirms the value of talking plainly about desire, about safety, about experimentation, and about the vast range of ways queer intimacy can unfold. It is the openness that keeps this culture alive, and voices like his that make it real.
