Resumo: Different studies have shown that poppers users in sexual contexts use this antianginal as an anal dilator. From the risk paradigm, the socio-medical discourse has traced a regime of truth; that men who have sex with men (MSM) users of the substance are at risk. This is articulated around pharmacosexual essentialism, the medicalization of sex and famacologicism, placing them in a smooth, apolitical and culturally threatening social space, thus omitting their constituent and agential character. From a critical and transdisciplinary position, we investigate other possibilities, starting from a productive hypothesis of power associated with the pharmacosexual assemblage. We problematize the use of poppers in relation to the body and pleasure as a counter-knowledge dislocated from the sexual function. We argue that poppers act as a technological artifact that assists not only the denaturalization of bodily limits, but also a pharmacopolitical counter-fiction as a transitive space from which it is possible to contest the modern pharmacosexual regime.

Desde el paradigma del riesgo, el discurso sociomédico ha trazado un régimen de verdad, que sostiene que los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH) usuarios de la sustancia son sujetos de riesgo. Lo anterior se articula en torno al esencialismo sexual, la medicalización del sexo y el famacologicismo, apostándolos en un espacio social liso, apolítico y culturalmente amenazante, omitiendo su carácter constituyente y agencial. Desde un posicionamiento crítico y transdisciplinario, indagamos otras posibilidades, partiendo de una hipótesis productiva de poder asociado al ensamblaje farmacosexual. Problematizamos el uso del poppers con relación al cuerpo y el placer como un contra-saber dislocado de la función sexual. Sostenemos que el poppers actúa como artefacto tecnológico que asiste no solo a la desnaturalización de los límites corporales, sino también a una contra ficción farmacopolítica como espacio transitivo desde el cual es posible impugnar el régimen farmacosexual moderno.Universidade de São Paulo.
