Why Use Delay Sprays (& Are They Safe To Use)?
- Posted on
If you want to last longer in bed, you might want to consider using a delay spray. Want to find out if they're safe? (Spoiler: they are, in moderation!) Read this article to find out more!
Delay sprays are a lidocaine-based spray or gel used to slightly numb the penis to combat premature ejaculation, and help individuals last longer during sex. Premature ejaculation is when ejaculation occurs usually less than a minute after having sex, and can be a cause of shame for many men, despite it being relatively common. It can be a sensitive topic, and many men are not comfortable discussing it with other men, or sometimes even their doctors, which causes the prevalence of premature ejaculation to be under-reported.
How do delay sprays work?
Delay sprays can be a good option for those looking to decrease penis sensitivity. They are essentially a lidocaine gel or spray, and they need no prescription. After applying it to the penis, wait 10-15 minutes for it to become effective. Delay sprays typically add a good 3 to 4 minutes to the duration of the erection during penetration before ejaculation. The other good thing is that after waiting a few minutes after application, and making sure to wipe off any excess product, the spray is not transferable. That means that the receiver (whether it be a vagina or anus) will not experience a decrease in sensitivity from the lidocaine.
Are there any side effects?
Delay sprays are relatively safe to use, when used in moderation. If not effective, you can always gradually add to the amount you use, in future.
If you use too much delay spray, the following side effects may occur:
- Temporary loss of erection and sensitivity
- Skin irritation
- Tingling
- Burning
If any of these occur, cease use of the delay sprays and consult your doctor - there is nothing to be ashamed about!
Are they compatible with condoms?
Yes! Both condoms and lubricants are compatible with delay sprays. During application, apply the spray to the penis, wait 10-15 minutes for it to dry, and then put on the condom.
However, some delay sprays emphasize that the products can only be used with latex condoms and not latex-free condoms - just make sure to read the instructions of the product you have purchased to make sure you are using it properly.
