Does Delay Spray Actually Work?
What is a Delay Spray?
Delay sprays are topical desensitizing sprays made with lidocaine or benzocaine. They help men last longer in bed by reducing sensitivity in the penis.
How Delay Sprays Work
They work by numbing nerve endings on the penis. This reduces the stimulation you feel during sex, allowing you to control ejaculation and improve stamina.
Do Delay Sprays Actually Work?
Yes, they work for many men.
Studies show delay sprays can increase sexual stamina by 2-3 times for men with premature ejaculation or high sensitivity.
Unlike Kegel exercises (which require weeks of practice), delay sprays work almost immediately after application, making them a practical short-term solution for those who want results fast.

Are Delay Sprays Safe?
Delay sprays are generally safe when used as directed. However:
-
Avoid overuse to prevent excessive numbness.
-
Do a patch test to check for allergies.
-
Use the recommended amount to avoid transferring excess numbness to your partner.

Thicker condoms to reduce sensitivity.
-
NoFap challenges to manage arousal and increase control over time.
Combining delay sprays with these methods can help you last longer and enjoy stronger orgasms in the future.
