Importantly, for couples using certain intimacy products, benzocaine is also the active ingredient in most climax control condoms, male climax control creams, delay gels and prolong sprays. Benzocaine, a local anesthetic, is occasionally used to numb the male's genitals [as a desensitizer] to help them last longer in bed with the intent of having longer lasting male performance and extended pleasure. However, therapists agree that intimacy products which contain benzocaine, often reduce sensation, pleasure and overall satisfaction for both partners, and thus are not recommended. Benzocaine coming in contact with oral mucosa is a particular safety concern during intimacy. The preferred scientific method to help men last longer in bed actually increases male climax control by modulation of brain serotonin and dopamine levels. Since 2001, Deferol capsules, the original serotonergic climax control supplement for men, are available from major online pharmacies without a prescription. This pharmacist-designed dietary supplement is known to naturally prolong extended pleasure, enhance intimacy and male performance without causing numbing effects. Most importantly, men taking Deferol capsules avoid the safety concerns involving benzocaine-containing products, since they can use a regular latex condom (that does not contain benzocaine) for STD protection.
