Men who lasted less than a minute in bed have to endure a whole rigamarole of counseling, anti-depressants, fix the underlying problem yadda yadda whatever. Not anymore, because now there's a miracle numbing spray.
Composed of lidocaine and prilocaine, the anesthetic was recently successfully tested on 200 men, according to an article in the April issue of — we're not making this up — the journal BJU International.
Men using the spray lasted 6.3 times longer, or upwards of two minutes for 74 percent of them (way to go, champs!). That compares with 1.7 times longer for men using a placebo, but still enduring the deflating effects of timing their sex with a stopwatch and spraying themselves down five minutes before penetration.
As for side effects, nothing serious, just, you know, ladypart issues:
There were no serious adverse events reported during the study... The most common problems were loss of erection and a burning sensation in the vagina.
A burning vagina? That doesn't sound too adverse. In related news, less than one percent of urologists are women.
