The active ingredient in many delay sprays is often a mild anesthetic, such as lidocaine or benzocaine, which works by reducing the sensitivity of the penis. It’s important to follow the product’s instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective use. Users typically apply the spray a short time before engaging in sexual activity, allowing the numbing effect to take place.

While delay sprays can be a helpful solution for some individuals experiencing premature ejaculation, it’s important to note that they are not suitable for everyone. Before using any such product, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it is safe for your individual health and to discuss any potential side effects or interactions.

It’s also essential to communicate openly with your partner about the use of such products and to prioritize overall sexual health and satisfaction within the context of a consensual and communicative relationship.
