History of Poppers22.04.2025 | Poppers-Shop.de News

![]() The first nitrite compounds were synthesized in the 1940s and 1950s. Their medical use began with amyl nitrite, which was used to relieve chest pain. In the 1970s, the LGBTQ+ scene rediscovered them as a pleasure enhancer and they have been popular in certain circles ever since. The name poppers is derived from the popping sound made when the former glass ampoules were opened. Discovery of the first poppersThe history of poppers and aromas begins in the 19th century with the discovery of amyl nitrite by the French chemist Antoine Balard. His chemical experiments led to the isolation of a substance that caused dizziness when inhaled. The cause was a sudden drop in blood pressure, as was later discovered. It soon emerged that amyl nitrite had a vasodilatory effect. This made the substance highly interesting for medicine, especially for the treatment of angina pectoris. The British physician Sir Thomas Lauder Brunton was one of the first to document the therapeutic benefits: A few drops on a handkerchief could relieve his patients' heart pain. Use of poppers in the 20th centuryWith medical progress came new drugs, above all nitroglycerine, which increasingly replaced amyl nitrite in medical practice. But the substance did not disappear. On the contrary, new fields of application were soon discovered: From the 1960s, it circulated as a means of relaxation. At a time when societies were culturally reinventing themselves, living out sexual freedoms and testing psychotropic substances, aromas found an enthusiastic audience, especially in the queer scene. The AIDS crisis of the 1980s brought a profound change. Suddenly, everything associated with queer pleasure came under general suspicion. One study linked it to HIV infections, even though this hypothesis later proved to be scientifically untenable. Nevertheless, a mistrust remained, a shadow over the colorful bottle. Aromas became a symbol not only of lust, but also of stigma. Regulation and sale of poppers in the 21st centuryIn the 2000s, they returned to the clubs with the rave and techno movement. And with the rise of the internet, they experienced a new heyday: online stores, such as our Poppers-Shop.de, offered them under all kinds of imaginative names, testimonials circulated in forums and videos appeared on porn platforms. In the past, they were classified by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) as so-called functional medicinal products due to their specific physiological effects. However, this assessment was fundamentally called into question by a landmark ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in 2014. In this decision, the ECJ ruled that products such as poppers, whose main use is not the cure, alleviation or prevention of disease, should not be classified as functional medicinal products across the board. The previous legal classification was thus abolished and has since been considered obsolete, making aromas a legal product throughout the EU and Switzerland. Aromas of the modern age, the scent of lived freedomToday, aromas stand for desire and freedom. They tell a story of chemistry and desire, of control and rebellion, of intimate moments and collective experiences. And perhaps that is precisely their secret: that there is more in a small bottle than just a kick for relaxation, namely a piece of lived history and sexual revolution.
