What is delay spray?

Delay sprays can delay ejaculation and are used to treat premature ejaculation.

Sexual health is an essential part of overall health. Regarding sex, premature ejaculation is one of the most annoying problems. It foils not only sexual activity but also creates emotional disturbances and relationship problems. According to The British Association of Urological Surgeons, 20-30% of men in the UK have this problem.

How to treat premature ejaculation?

So, what could you do to handle it? Different drugs are sold as premature ejaculation treatments. Among the options available, delay sprays are gaining acceptance due to their ease of application and effectiveness. What are these sprays? How effective are they? How do you use them properly, and what possible side effects could be? Understanding these issues will help you to use these products safely.

What is a delay spray?

The nervous system tightly controls sexual arousal, erection, and orgasm. The sensitization of local penile nerves will cause ejaculation. What if you can block these nerves? The ejaculation will be delayed, and you will enjoy a prolonged sexual session.

These sprays are non-prescription drugs and are available over the counter. The active ingredient in a delay spray blocks the local nerves, desensitizing and numbing the penis.

What's the active ingredient in the delay sprays?

A premature ejaculation spray contains a dilute solution of local anaesthesia, e.g., lidocaine or benzocaine. For example, the familiar brand Universal STUD 5000 is a 10% lidocaine spray available commercially. The lidocaine sprays are more effective because lidocaine is a more potent anaesthetic than benzocaine.

How does a delay spray work? A delay spray works by desensitizing the local area. When applied directly on the skin, the anaesthesia will absorb into the local nerves and suppress the local nervous system. It is applied 10-15 minutes before the sex for prolonged effects.

What are the pros and cons of delay sprays?

Just like other medications, these sprays come with some merits and demerits. You have to balance these into your scenario. The advice of sexual health expert will also be helpful.

Pros

• The effective ingredient (lidocaine or benzocaine) is relatively safer and quite effective at desensitizing work.
• As the effective ingredient is applied on the skin and is safer, these sprays don't require a prescription and are readily available over the counter.
• A spray form is more easy to apply and handle than a cream or a gel.
• No report confirms that delay spray affects pregnancy when used in regular doses.

Cons

• These sprays may become an unaffordable burden in the long run as many sprays are required for a successful session, and a single bottle will not last more than a few days. A single 15-20 ml will cost anywhere between 5-20 GBP.
• Since it is applied topically on the penis, it can kill the sperms released after ejaculation. So, if you are planning for babies, these sprays may not be an ideal choice.
• Allergic reactions to the lidocaine or other ingredients in the spray are widespread.
• You have to erect the penis to apply it. It will be challenging to apply on a flaccid penis. Moreover, the time required for its action (5-15 minutes) can kill your or your partner's mood.

How can we ensure safe use?

How to apply a delay spray correctly? The following pieces of advice are worth following.

Duration

The most commonly claimed duration is one hour. The Forhims delay spray is sold with a claimed desensitization period of 1-3 hours. However, it depends on the spray's strength, the application method, and psychological factors.

Dose

How many sprays are enough? It depends upon the strength of the active ingredient and the size of the penis. Three sprays will be enough for a medium-sized penis (5-5.5 inches). Using more than 10 sprays at a time is not recommended because too high a dose will cause generalized side effects.

Protect your partner

The delay spray for men can impact women too. An excessive dose can cause a numbness reaction in the partner. So, strictly follow the recommended dose.

Be careful with condoms

Lidocaine can corrode the latex used in the preparation of condoms. So, lidocaine products should not be used with condoms. You can use contraceptives if pregnancy is not desired.

Can these sprays be used with Viagra?

The lidocaine-based sprays are not known to interact with the drugs used for erectile dysfunction (e.g., sildenafil, the active ingredient of Viagra). So they are safe and even desirable to be used together.

Can a delay spray be used with lubes?

The lubes are the lubricants used to facilitate intercourse. However, applying and wiping out the particular delay spray from the penis before applying the lube is advised.

Some lubes come with other desensitizing agents (for example, the Clean Stream lube comes with 2% lidocaine). Be sure to use the lubes free from such ingredients).

Can we engage in oral sex while using the spray?

It is safer if you remove the product effectively after 15 minutes of application. If your partner is allergic to lidocaine (or another active ingredient), it is advised not to use sprays.

How to use delay spray?

The safe use of spray follows the following steps,

• The bottle should be shaken well before use.
• Take the nozzle close to the penis and spray from at least 30cm (1ft) away from the penis.
• Spray the product on the shaft, underside, and head of the penis and rub it in a circular motion for rapid absorption.
• Wait for 15-20 as the product will take time to act.
• Wash out the product.
• It should not be used on irritated and broken skin.

Are there any side effects of sprays?

These sprays are safe if used under the recommended dose. An excess spray can cause side effects, e.g.,

• Skin Irritation or feelings of burning on the skin of the penis
• A temporary erectile dysfunction can occur due to a transient loss of sensitivity. It is advised to start from a smaller dose and gradually increase the dose as per your climax control.
