Most guys have been there.
You're planning for a marathon sex session and instead end up running a short sprint.
The problem: your partner is still along way from the finish line.
A five-nation study foundthat men, on average, last for 5.7 minutes before ejaculating, butfor men with premature ejaculation issues, they barely make it two minutes.
Thankfully, Promescent makes some great products to help you slow down the race.
We’ll cover everything you need to know about delay sprays, including mistakes we've seen some first-time users make, so you can avoid them.
What Are Delay Sprays?
Delay sprays are meant to reduce sensitivity in the most sensitive areas of the penis to delay ejaculation.
You may have heard them called:
- Delay spray
- Premature ejaculation spray
- Penis desensitizing spray
- Lidocaine spray
No matter what they are called,most of them are made with the sameactive ingredient, either benzocaine, or lidocaine.
How to Use Delay Sprays
Trying to figure out how to use alidocaine delay spray is not rocket science.
Nevertheless, it's not a bad idea to get familiar with the technical process.
So, let's get started.
1. Apply the Spray
If you want to know how to use delay spray properly, you have to first look at how it's applied.
Application directions tend to look something like this:
- Shake the bottle gently
- Hold the application nozzle close to your penis
- Push the spray mechanism firmly to release a full spray
If you're using Promescent, we recommend the spray be applied to the frenulum of the penis,or just below the head, and on the underside ofthe shaft.
How much delay spray should I use?
Personal sensitivity levels vary.
Most product manufacturers say to start out with two or three sprays.
It's perfectly fine to start with less and adjust.
Note:With delay sprays, it's far better to have too little and add more than to accidentally add too much.
Once you've addedthe spray to the target zones, use a fingertip or two to rub it in a circular motion until you don't feel any wetness.
Pro Tip: Wash your hands after applying delay spray so desensitization doesn’t spread during foreplay.
2. Wait for the Spray to Take Effect
This is where the magic happens.
You'll need to wait for about 10 minutes for the ingredients to be absorbed into your skin (hint:this is theperfect time for foreplay).
Otherwise, you'll be well on your way to climax before the desensitizer gets the chance to kick in.
3. Ready for Action
Applied, absorbed, waited—you're good to go!
You'll know it's all good by the way your penis feels.
With Promescent you will not feel a ‘numbing sensation’ like with some other delay sprays.
Rather, sensations are slightly muted where the spray has been applied and you’ll have normal sensitivity elsewhere.
Mistakes to Avoid When Using Delay Spray
Using delay spray to prevent premature ejaculation can only work if the product is used correctly.
Individual experiences are going to vary because penis sensitivity is not something that's the same with every man, experiment and see what works best for you.
Don't give up after one try, and keep expectations reasonable.
If you get just what you want the first shot, just consider yourself lucky.
Of course, there's room for human error too, so you'll have to avoid a few mistakes when using a delay spray.
1. Using too Much
Yes, there's too much of a good thing.
Start with the minimum number of recommended sprays and work your way up no matter which delay spray you're using.
If you do accidentally use too much delay spray and lose feeling, don't panic—the feeling will return once the product wears off.
Most people regain sensitivity within 30-minutes or so.
2. Using too Little Delay Spray
On the flip side of using too much delay spray, is not using enough.
Start with the minimum; you can always wait a few, and try a little more if sensitivity levels don't seem low enough that you could hold back ejaculation.
A "sweet spot" exists, and that sweet spot differs from man to man, but with just a little practice you'll get there.
3. Applying the Spray in the Wrong Places
You've got instructions, and you're confident you know how to use adelay spray because you actually read them.
Now take a second and think. Do you really know what the frenulum and glans are?
Frenulum
This part connects the head of the penis with the shaft of the penis. It’s the small ridge of tissue between the glans and shaft.
Think of when you're looking in the mirror and lifting up your tongue to get that annoying piece of food out of your teeth.
Your tongue is connected to the floor of your mouth via the ‘lingualfrenulum.’
Glans
This is what is commonly referred to as the head of the penis.
Typically, the underside of the glans is the most sensitive.
Researchers think this has to do with the grinding and rubbing your undergarments put on the front of the glans on a daily basis.
4. Not Waiting Long Enough After Using the Spray
Every delay spray is going to have different timing. As already noted, most are going to require at least a 10 to 15-minute wait.
Even a short wait can seem like an eternity in the heat of the moment, sure.
But if you're not waiting, you're likely getting in the groove before the spray even has a chance to work.
So, apply, wait, test for sensitivity, and then go for it.

Your choice here.

It depends on the product, so check your product's directions.
Most state delay spray is fine to use with condoms, but some clarify to only use latex condoms.
Do I need to wash off the delay spray before sex?

A lot of products do tell you to wipe off any excess residue before sex to avoid desensitizing your partner and slowing both of you down.
Promescent doesn't require a wipedown when used as directed due to its TargetZone™ Technology and advanced absorption capabilities.
The formula allows the active ingredient to get beneath the skin's surface to affect those sensitive nerves instead of hanging around on the surface of your skin.
But, if you've applied any other product, rubbed it in, and still see moisture, it's best to wash off the extra with a wet towel.
It may even be a good idea to wipe it off even if you see nothing.
Tip:If there's going to be oral sex involved, it is best to wash off your penis after absorption even if you're using Promescent.
Can I use desensitizing spray if my partner is pregnant?
If your partner is pregnant, erring on the side of caution is always the best.
Since products like lidocaine or benzocaine have not been established to be safe to use during pregnancy, you may not want to take any risks.
Will the effects of the spray transfer to my partner?
The effects of delay spray shouldn't transfer to your partner—as long as you're using the product properly.
Remember:
WIPE away the excess
WAIT therecommended time
WASH your hands
If your partner is complaining of numbness, you've missed one of these steps.
What are the side effects of using delay sprays?
Side effects should always be checked out before you buy a product.

- Skin irritation
- Tingling
- Burning
If you experience any of these issues then you should immediately wash the product off with soap and water.
