subject: premature ejaculation cream [print this page] What is the deal with desensitizing creams? Do they work and are there any side effects? Are there any better alternatives? All will be revealed in this article.
How They Work
All these creams (or sprays) work in the same way - they use a medical grade low intensity anesthetic. The idea is that if you dull your senses slightly then you can still enjoy sex but the arousal you receive every second is a little diminished.
This means that you take longer to build up to peak anxiety which is normally when you ejaculate.
There are also some natural/herbal varieties that have zero effect.
What Forms Do They Come In?
Most commonly you get them in a tube or as a pump action spray. You can also buy special condoms that contain anesthetic gel.
Do They Work?
There's no doubt that they work. They may give you up to 5 more minutes before ejaculation. You can go for longer by using more but this will reduce your pleasure significantly.
The great advantage of desensitization products is that you can do something about your premature ejaculation immediately. The disadvantage is the small loss of sensation and their limited effects - they will not cure you.
Long Term Fixes
Some people consider Kegel exercises (training of muscles that control urine) to be a long term method. Actually, I disagree. This is because Kegels allow you to block ejaculation but they do nothing about the fact that it might take you only two minutes to reach this point. This is because they don't address your anxiety.
The best long term fixes address your anxiety. In doing this, your arousal does not peak quickly but instead climbs slowly (as with desensitizing products) and then is able to plateau for a period of time until you decide to ejaculate. This is what is known as "total ejaculatory control".
