Spray to Play? Quick fix for Pre-Ejaculation
June 3, 2010
A new topical spray appears to help men with pre-ejaculation problems last longer. But don’t get too excited. Sex ed or therapy is still probably your best bet for satisfying sex.
The as-yet-unnamed spray, described here, is applied to the glans, or head, of the penis. According to clinical trial results, men who ordinarily cum in 1 minute can last up to 3 minutes after using the spray. Three minutes may not seem like much time for couples used to lingering, but to put this into perspective, the average couple in which at least one partner has a penis has sexual intercourse for 12 minutes. So lasting 3 minutes isn’t a bad goal for someone used to being done nearly before he starts.
The spray causes a “burning sensation” in 5% of female partners in the clinical trials, but the researchers weren’t concerned about that (thanks again for discounting women’s concerns…).
If you’re an early cummer and want to try the spray, go for it. And put a condom on after using the spray to protect your partner from that potential burning, too. But consider that premature ejaculation is usually a psychological, not mechanical problem. Numbing your penis won’t address the root of why you cum so quickly in the first place.
As a sexuality educator, I can offer individuals or couples advice on how to focus is on mutual pleasure rather than penetration so that no matter how long intercourse lasts, both partners enjoy their encounter. However, sex therapy or counseling is indicated if the problem is caused by emotional or relationship issues.
Spray away PE? Consider it a temporary fix. Then seek out education or therapy to resolve the issue for the long haul.
