Ask Alex
Mrs ZigZagMan asks: “While toy shopping for glass dildos I found references to the bulbous end being used as “a popper”. What do they mean by this?”
Well, I did a bit of research, because no matter how many sexual terms you learn, there are always others to discover. The result of which is that I’ve experienced the act of popping without knowing its name.
Googling the term obviously brings up plenty of references to Amyl Nitrate , or poppers. The inhalation of which is used by some people to enhance orgasm. Fankly, when I’ve tried it I feel like I’ve got tachycardia and that’s not a particularly pleasant experience. So kids, as far as I’m concerned, “Just say no”. LOL.
So what is popping in the sense that Mrs Zigzagman asks about? Well it’s the use of anal toys, beads in particular though not exclusively. The action of popping takes place when the sphincter muscles of the rectum are dilated by the thicker part of the toy, only to rapidly contract to the thinner part of the toy during insertion and/or withdrawal.
The sensation can be very intense, for me it’s on the pleasure pain barrier and triggers intense synaesthesia. So don’t operate machinery while indulging in such play.
Mr Zigzagman asks: “I like to shave the tummies of kitties and then paint a number on them with magic marker. if I have two or more I then race them on the kitchen linoleum. at times….I feel guilty….is this wrong?“
Well Mr Zig, that depends on how you race them. Using Cambridge rules (Published in hardback 1924 as “Kitten Racing and Cat Coursing”, Cambridge University Press) then you’re fine. There has only been one prosecution and that was overturned by the High Court in 1978 (The Crown Vs Prosser).
However the use of desk fans, rollerskates and catapults should be avoided as these are explicitly prohibited.
However guilt is a relative thing, so if you find it helps just feel that slight niggling unease that you get when you knowingly accept the wrong change from a storekeeper. Rather than the crushing weight of damnation that follows hiding the last doughnut in the box for yourself.
Wow. Synaesthesia is intense enough, but I had no idea something like that could trigger it!
I am totally going to take up kitty racing!
popping & kitty racing. thats too much for me this week!
OK….am I the only one that thought the “catapult” reference was funny???? 🙂
Cat racing! Reminds me of those turtle races they used to show on kids’ programs (before they discovered repitles spread disease and PETA got involved). They’d paint numbers on the turtles’ backs, put them in the center of concentric circles and watch to see which one reached the outer circle first.
But if you were going to do this, Mr. Zig, wouldn’t you write the numbers on the cats’ backs? It would be hard to read them on their bellies . . .
Now the popping sounds like ecstasy! I need to get some glass . . .
Just noticed you’ve linked mine to your’s!
Thanks; and after reading and enjoying some of your other favourite blogs I will take that as an honour to be among them!
The things I learn from you guys! Thanks! I can’t wait to hear about the new toys you wil be playing with.
I think I would love popping! I have been wanting to get a glass toy!
I enjoy a little kitten racing in my spare time.. 😉
ok, you shave the tummies and paint a number…..because you slide them on thier back across the kitchen floor. They seem to rather like it actually….well….except for that shaving thing…..lol
Thanks Alex! That was popping thing driving me crazy, I tried a search but got bogged down in other appications. And your right those other Poppers can cause tachycardia in those predisposed…. dont ask how i know. Just say no to drugs, have great safe sex instead!
As far as my husbands kitty racing…… I have something for him to shave and paint numbers on!
I”m honored to be part of ask alex, we were the first? You do realize you created a monster, I’m sure to be a regular on ask alex patron …lol
Well, I enjoyed writing this one. I’ve never been good at humour, though I have my moments.
As for the factual side it’s nice to be able to get some information out of the Internet on the practice of “popping!” but as is often the case it’s vague. I often find that there are different definitions/explanations of the same term. E.g. felching, I know of two very different usages of that one.
