PE treatment - 3: Special condoms (pros and cons)

Condoms in general can reduce sensitization a little due to the latex which covers the penis to reduce premature ejaculation. Some condoms are coated with an anaesthetic which works similarly to the anaesthetic gel described in my previous post. The local anaesthetic is called benzocaine and is used in the 'long love condom'.

Pros;

Does not reduce the sensitization of the partner any more than a regular condom. A few patients have reported longer lasting sex. Using a condom reduces the risk of STDs and pregnancy.

Cons;

Reduces the sexual enjoyment by reducing sensation. Has only acheived positive results in a small number of cases. Some people may be sensitive to benzocaine producing redness, itchiness and soreness. Unsuitable for those who do not like condoms.


Conclusion;

A more mainstream available solution but only works in a limited number of cases with minimal increases in duration of sex. Sensitivity to benzocaine is an issue while reduced penile sensation reduces overall enjoyment of sexual intercourse.

Rating = 3/10
