Will poppers help me relax for anal sex?

Poppers, a liquid form of nitrates, are powerful chemicals that relax blood vessels and certain types of muscle including anal muscles. Poppers are often used before or during sex to make sex last longer, relax the anus, and enhance orgasm. The effects of poppers are short-lived, usually 30 minutes or less.

Poppers use can increase risks of getting/giving HIV/STDs. Using poppers can lower sexual inhibition, impair judgment, or make it hard to feel small tears in the ass during longer, rougher sex. Long term use can cause weight loss, sores in the mouth/nose, loss of smell, lung damage, anemia, and impaired thinking. Use of poppers with erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs, GHB, ecstasy or crystal meth can be fatal.

So, poppers will relax the anal muscles but could lead to a lot of other short and longer term problems.
