Recreational use
Since early 2020 cyclohexyl nitrite has become popular as a recreational drug called poppers, mostly labeled as Canadian formula in various online stores that offer purchase of the drug. When used as an inhalant the effects are described as - stimulating ejaculation and orgasm, relaxation of sphincter muscles during anal sex, therefore making this compound appealing to the gay community, although users describe the experience as not even close compared to other alkyl nitrites.
