I Stopped Using Numbing Delay Sprays & Wipes For PE

Delay products like sprays, creams and wipes numb your penis, so you feel nothing and last longer during sex. Sounds like a no brainer - problem solved. Right? 🤔  

Not so fast...

Unfortunately all delay agents have the same problems: loss of erection, no spontaneous sex and inconvenience.

I myself and lots of my clients in my 1-on-1 Coaching Program used them before working with me, and in this article I'll share with you my own and their experience.

All male delay products use the same local anesthetics to numb your penis, so you feel less and extend your time til orgasm, since you're building arousal at a slower rate:

• Numbing sprays use 10% lidocaine or a mixture of 7.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine.
• Numbing gels and creams use lidocaine, prilocaine and benzocaine in different concentrations.
• Delay wipes and condoms use benzocaine.

These same anesthetic agents are also commonly used in dentistry, tattooing and surgeries to numb the skin, mouth or the area being operated on. Without them you would feel pain, so they're truly lifesavers there.

However, when it comes to sex, they often do more harm than good.

1. Numbing Delay Sprays

All delay sprays are used in the same exact way. Here's a step-by-step instruction:

Decide with your girlfriend/partner that you wanna have sex. 

Tell your girlfriend/partner that you need to wait 15 minutes before having sex, because you need to apply something on your penis, otherwise you would shoot too early. 

Avoid having sex for 15 minutes. You can’t let her to take it in her mouth or in her hand or penetrate her. It would be sticky and stinky on her hand, her mouth would get numb and she would ask uncomfortable questions. 

After avoiding any sexual contact for 15 minutes you will need to go back to the bathroom and wash it off - otherwise she will be numbed and ask questions.

If she still wants it, you can now finally have sex. However...

Now comes the biggest challenge. Try your best not to lose erection.

Just imagine how difficult it is to maintain your erection 🍆 when your penis feels like it's frozen. Some men describe the numb feeling as "It feels like I have no penis anymore!"

Yes. Most men with PE who use numbing delay sprays or wipes will experience some erectile dysfunction in the short term. It happens because maintaining erection requires physical stimulation, which is not given when the penis is numbed by an anesthetic like lidocaine.

See, the issue is also that the majority of premature ejaculators already have some form of erection problems to begin with.

...and then you go and also numb your penis and feel nothing. Losing your erection at this point shouldn't come as a surprise. And that's the reason why most guys stop using them.

No spontaneous sex either.

Another downside to using these delay agents is that you have a very short time window of 40 minutes to use it. So not only can’t you be spontaneous, but you also have to make sure you have sex within that timeframe, or otherwise you will have to re-apply it on your penis, wait and wash it off again.

Unsurprisingly - I don’t recommend any of it. 

But the good news is - you don’t have to numb your penis to last longer in bed. It’s completely unnecessary and actually counterproductive. There are much better and healthier ways to increase your stamina.

2. Numbing gels and creams 🧴

Delay numbing gels and creams work for premature ejaculation in the same exact way like sprays. They contain lidocaine, prilocaine or benzocaine and make your penis less sensitive.

The only difference is that you don't spray them on your penis but simply apply the gel or cream topically on your glans and foreskin. After this you also have to wait 15 minutes until the penis goes numb, wash it off and have sex. 

Here are the 3 most common gels and creams used for PE:

K-Y Duration Gel Pump

This desensitizing delay gel pump gel contains 7% benzocaine and costs ~$20. One tube contains 36 pumps and is condom compatible.

EMLA cream

This desensitizing cream is not intended for PE but can be used off-label. It contains 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine and costs ~$10. It's a very weak cream, don't be surprised if the penis will remain sensitive.

Orajel 4X toothache & gum cream

Orajel 4X is a very potent numbing cream for toothache & gum. It contains 20% benzocaine and costs ~$20. It can be used off-label for PE, but be careful, it's very strong and can make your penis completely insensitive to any touch.

3. Numbing Wipes 🤧

PE wipes are towelettes that contain 4-7% benzocaine as numbing agent to desensitize sensitive parts of the penis. You simply rip open the wipes package and rub the towelette onto your penis 10 minutes before sex.

The numbing effect lasts up to 45 min. However it's very mild and won't do much for real premature ejaculators.

Hims Clockstopper Climax Delay Wipes

Each wipe contains 7% benzocaine and costs $65 for a 24 pack. Expensive and won't help a real premature ejaculator.

Promescent Desensitizing Delay Wipes

Each wipe contains 7% benzocaine $60 for a 30 pack. Expensive and won't help a real premature ejaculator.

Roman Swipes

Each wipe contains 4% benzocaine and costs $66 for a 24 pack. Roman’s wipes are very difficult to open and the effect is very weak because of the low benzocaine concentration.

4. Numbing Condoms 🥶

Delay condoms contain a benzocaine gel on the inside, which desensitizes your glans penis once you roll it over. They are very safe, easy to use and last up to 30 min once you roll them over.
