What Is a Delay Spray and How Does It Work?
A delay spray is a topical anesthetic—most commonly containing Lidocaine or Benzocaine—designed to temporarily reduce sensitivity in high-nerve areas of the penis. It manages male sexual health concerns by modulating the sensory signals sent to the brain, helping you stay below the "ejaculatory threshold" for a longer period.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Delay Spray Correctly
Step 1: Clean and Dry the Area
Wash the penis with mild soap and warm water. Natural oils, sweat, and dirt can block the absorption of the active ingredients. Ensure the skin is completely dry before application.
Step 2: Shake the Bottle
Gently shake the bottle to ensure the anesthetic is evenly mixed. This is particularly important for consistent dosing in premium products like Promescent or Stud 100.
Step 3: Target the Sensitive Areas
Do not spray the entire shaft. Focus specifically on the areas with the highest nerve density:
- The Glans: The head of the penis.
- The Frenulum: The sensitive V-shaped area on the underside of the head.
Step 4: Start with the Minimum Dose
Apply 2–3 sprays. It is always better to start small and increase the dose in future sessions than to over-numb yourself on the first try. Hold the bottle 1-2 inches away for even coverage.
Step 5: Rub It In
Massage the liquid into the skin using a circular motion for 30 seconds. This helps the Lidocaine penetrate the skin layers to reach the nerves effectively.
Step 6: The 10-Minute Wait (Crucial!)
Step 7: Wipe Off Excess
Before penetration or oral sex, use a damp cloth to wipe away unabsorbed residue. This prevents the spray from transferring to your partner and causing them unintended numbness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using with Polyurethane Condoms: Lidocaine can degrade polyurethane. Use standard latex or polyisoprene condoms instead.
- Skipping the Wipe: This is the #1 cause of partner numbness. Always wipe before penetration.
- Over-spraying: More is not better. Excessive application can lead to a temporary loss of erection.
- Applying to Irritated Skin: Never use delay sprays on broken, burnt, or inflamed skin.
When to Consult a Specialist?
While delay sprays are effective for most, you should consult a doctor if:
- You experience pain during intercourse or ejaculation.
- You have difficulty achieving an erection (which may require Eroxon ED Gel).
- You have a known allergy to local anesthetics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before sex should I apply it?
Apply 10 minutes before activity. This allows the spray to absorb into the skin so it doesn't rub off on your partner.
Is it safe for oral sex?
Yes, provided you have wiped the area thoroughly after the 10-minute absorption period. You do not want your partner to ingest the numbing agent.
Will it make me completely numb?
Not if used correctly. High-quality sprays like Prolong reduce hypersensitivity while maintaining the pleasure of the experience.
