A drug normally used as an industrial cleaner for removing graffiti is playing a major role in the emergence of a “chemsex” scene in Dublin, according to a new study.
GHB, which is also used to polish alloy wheels, is the most widely used drug for enhancing sexual pleasure during chemsex sessions, the study of attendees of the Gay Men’s Health Clinic at Baggot Street found.
The growing popularity of chemsex, which involves the use of recreational drugs to enhance sexual pleasure during risky sex, is suspected as the cause of a sharp rise in HIV, syphilis and gonorrhoea among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the past year.
