What Is a Delay Sex Spray?

Delay sex spray, also called numbing spray for premature ejaculation, helps men last longer in bed.
It uses mild topical anesthetics (like lidocaine) to reduce penile sensitivity, helping control climax.
It is easy to use, discreet, and does not require a prescription in most cases.
How Does Delay Spray Work?
Delay sprays work by lightly numbing nerve endings on the penis.
-
You spray it on the head and shaft of the penis.
-
Wait 5–10 minutes to let it absorb.
-
Wipe off excess before sex to prevent numbing your partner.
By reducing overstimulation, it helps you gain better control over ejaculation.
