Our state doesn't require a dead body to ban a product." But drug-and law-enforcement officials in other states seem less concerned, noting that poppers are not addictive.

But whether they are singing little anthems to S-M (When the Whip Comes Down), deflating stereotypes (Some Girls) or giving the finger-pop to overbearing paramours (Beast of Burden), they seem less fierce than jaded.
