The first U.S. trials of a spray-on anesthetic for the penis showed that it increased the time to ejaculation nearly five-fold, providing the first good solution for premature ejaculation, researchers reported today.
The findings are very similar to those obtained in a European study released in April 2009.
Premature ejaculation is generally defined as ejaculation that occurs within a minute after insertion of the penis into the vagina, causing distress to both parties.
The condition is thought to affect as many as one in three U.S. men ages 18 to 59, about twice as many as those who suffer from erectile dysfunction.
The new trial, led by Dr. Michael G. Wyllie of Plethora enrolled 256 patients at 38 centers in the U.S., Canada and Poland. Their average duration of intercourse was less than 0.6 minutes.
Wyllie reported today at a San Diego meeting of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America that men receiving the drug increased their intercourse time to an average of 2.6 minutes, compared with an increase to only 0.8 minutes in the placebo group.
The benefits persisted for the three months of the study and both men and women reported greater satisfaction with their sexual experiences. No significant adverse effects were observed.
Reported in the Los Angeles Times.
MS: I seriously think that the problem highlighted is merely the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, the good thing about this one is apparently, no condoms are necessary to prevent numbing the woman. So I'll definitely recommend this to a lot of men. If they don't do it for themselves, at least think of your poor partner. She deserves a better time in bed. At least she won't be complaining too much about headaches anymore. Thanks YP, Singapore, for the story.
