PE treatment - 2: Anaesthetic gel (pros and cons)

There are gels available advertised to 'damp down' sexual sensation in the penis. This works by administering anaesthetic to the shaft of the penis shortly before intercourse. This 'numbs' the nerves to lessen sensation thus delaying excitement and the ejaculatory threshold.

Pros;

Works in a limited number of men. Reduces the sensation in the penis which prolongs intercourse.

Cons;

Interrupts the 'mood' of sex as the gel has to be applied before intercourse. The gel works for only a small number of men and duration of sex may only be lengthened by only a few minutes.
The gel dulls the sexual sensations for your partner. It can also cause a distressing skin reaction in either partner, with intense itching, redness and soreness.

Conclusion;

While extending sex for a few minutes the gel has the ability to produce undesirable side-effects and can greatly reduce sexual enjoyment for both partners.
