Sex and Whippits (AKA Nitrous Oxide)

I wanted to make the Sex and… series an ongoing thing. So far, I’ve done one: sex and marijuana. I’m finally getting around to post two, sex and nitrous oxide. Or as the kids call them: whippits…or whippets…or whip-its. I couldn’t find a definitive spelling.

You have no idea how much that annoys me. Merriam-Webster was disturbingly (but unsurprisingly) silent on this point. I toyed with the idea of spelling it differently every time I used it in this post, but I remembered how annoying it was trying to spell marihuana with an h. It wasn’t worth the effort for a joke. I decided on whippits because a whippet is a dog and a whip-it is what I do to Erin when we get kinky.

Erin and I both turned 40 a couple months back. We’ve known of whippits since high school. If not before. It was common knowledge that inhalants such as glue, white-out, or really fresh markers could make you lightheaded. I remember jokingly sniffing such things in grade school but never with the actual intent to get high off of it because I “knew” that was “bad”.

I distinctly remember the first time my mom purchased an aerosol whipped cream container. We had no idea how to operate it and made a mess accidentally spraying whipped cream all over the kitchen.

Ah, good times!

Despite having whipped cream containers around for 30 years, I never once tried a whippet. Not until three weeks ago. Yes, dear reader, I’m writing about sex on nitrous oxide, and we’ve only actually done it once.

It was stellar.

Nitrous oxide (chemical abbreviation: N2O) has several culinary uses. Whipped cream is the most common, I would guess, but nitro beers and coffees are possibilities. Kegs and taps can be purchased to create these at home. I’m sure with a little bit of looking, someone could get their hands on large nitrous oxide tanks (sized similar to propane tanks used for barbecue grills or helium tanks used to inflate balloons). After all, N2O, otherwise known as laughing gas, is used by dentists as an anesthesia. The tanks are out there.

Because it has these legal uses, it’s not a controlled substance in the U.S., but you aren’t supposed to possess it or sell it for human consumption. Which means, even though it’s legal, if the cops find a big-ass tank in your house, they might get suspicious.

So don’t have it in a form that leads to suspicion. 

Me? I kept it simple. I purchased a home whip cream container and nitrous oxide cartridges from Amazon. The canister cost $30 and came with three different nozzles for making fun shapes when shooting whipped cream. At some point, I’ll actually use it to dispense homemade, sugar-free keto-friendly whipped cream. I read you can use coconut cream. That sounds delightful.

Unsure of how this experiment would go, I got a small pack on N20 refills, which contained 24 canisters. I’ve recently ordered more. Not because we already went through them, but it’s not like they go bad or that I need to worry about hiding them from prying eyes. No reason to not have a supply on hand.

You can buy these things in packs of 600.

I didn’t.

But I thought about it cause it’s cheaper in bulk.

Whippits Are Easy

There are several methods that can be used to inhale the canisters. Having small cartridges and simple containers, we just plug in a cartridge and pull the trigger, which releases the gas. One full cartridge is enough for a decent head-rush high.

If someone were to use a larger tank, then it would be safer and smarter to transfer the N2O into a receptacle such as a balloon. It’s difficult and dangerous to suck right from a tank the same way you can from a whipped cream can. A lot of it will escape unbreathed. The pressure might be dangerous for your lungs or mouth. It comes out super cold and can give you frost burn.

One cartridge in a whipped cream dispenser? Simple, easy, effective, and dose limiting. You suck one down, you know exactly how much you got. And I’m a stickler for monitoring my doses.

Whippits Are Quick but Fun

The head rush comes on pretty quickly and lasts only a few minutes, but it brings a pleasant, giggly euphoria. A full-body lightness. It was fun, but not so good that I would crave that feeling so as to constantly seek it out. For me, there is no worry about becoming addicted to that sensation.

I’ll add the caveat that I am glad I didn’t start experimenting with substances until I was out of my 20s. College Shane might have been too rambunctious with N2O. High school Shane, assuming he could get over the guilt and shame, would have enjoyed it too much.

Whippits Heighten Sexual Pleasure

For this experiment, Erin and I both did whippits while we were fucking. I’m sure some people would find it a bit weird to inhale from a whipped cream container or a balloon during sex, but given the quick high and then return to sober, you need to have it with you. It’s not unlike poppers in that regard.

But it does work. Erin was getting fucked on all fours and took a big hit. Within seconds, her already enthusiastic moans went to downright shouting. She had a massive orgasm right after. Totally successful experiment there.

Mine was not quite as successful. A few more minutes of solid fucking, and I felt myself getting close to cumming. I took my own hit. As good as it felt, the head rush and the fucking, my orgasm backed off completely. I went from 90% there to maybe 10%. We actually had to take a break and get back to it before I could come. I didn’t lose my erection, mind you. I was just no longer physically close to finishing.

That’s a reaction I’ll need to test some more, because that could be useful.

Whippits Hit My Kinks

I’ve mentioned I’m a kinky guy. I have a bit of a Dom side. I like drugging and incapacitating my wife, or what I call chemdom, and I get turned on seeing women do bong hits or even snorting powders; no idea why that’s a thing for me, but it is.

And I like sluts. One thing I enjoy about some of the more extreme sex acts and porn kinks is the very idea that someone wants to do something so intense for sexual pleasure.

Women seeking pleasure is a kink for me. The more unconventional the actions she takes to indulge her pleasure, the better.

Which means seeing Erin suck down a N2O canister in order to heighten her own orgasm is definitely on my list. It was fucking hot. Particularly because she was being a bit naughty with it and actually licking and sucking the tip.

Whippits Have Their Dangers

Mostly it’s from oxygen deprivation, though, and that takes a lot of time just sucking N2O and not taking a breath of anything else. Think attaching a gas mask to an N2O tank and just breathing that for a few minutes.

Which is what they do in dentist offices, yes, but they mix it with oxygen.

Long term use can cause other issues, such as vitamin B-12 deficiency, but even that is mostly associated with people who naturally have vitamin B-12 deficiency issues.

There’s the normal dangers of intoxication, which range from impaired mobility to impaired judgement. Fortunately it’s a quick buzz. Unfortunately, the buzz has a very fast onset, so if you take too much at once, it’s going to hit you hard and might leave you spilled out on the floor.

But is it addictive?

Addiction boils down to the compulsive use of a substance despite its potential danger. Anything that feels good can be labeled as an addiction because some people will compulsively seek it to the detriment of their health and well being. Because whippits can make someone feel euphoric and happy, quickly ripping away stress and negativity, yes, it can be addictive.

Anyone looking for a quick release could find themselves hooked on that buzz.

But it’s not common. And there are no real withdrawal symptoms. Caffeine is more physically addictive than N20. In fact, N20 has been used to help people experiencing withdrawal symptoms from other substances like alcohol.

When a Problem Comes Along, You Must Whippit

We all knew I was going to make that reference at some point, yes? Good.

Unlike the sex and marijuana post, we don’t have much experience with whippits. We have more experimenting to do, and I will gladly report on those as we go.

The day after our test, I had two ideas for escalation:

  1. I want to create a dong-nozzle for Erin, that way when she’s taking hits it looks like she’s sucking a cock. Bonus for me.
  2. I realized my drugging chemdom kink goes beyond secretly drugging. I had the idea that I’d like to have Erin chained down to the whipping bench I made, put the tip in her mouth, and “force” her to get high.

She’s already agreed to both. So that’s aces.
