Benzocaine Wipes Are Possible Treatment for PE
Using a benzocaine wipe before sex might help men with premature ejaculation (PE) "last" longer, new research suggests.
In a study of 21 heterosexual men with PE, those who used a 4% benzocaine wipe reported better ejaculatory control than those who used a placebo wipe.
Benzocaine is a topical local anesthetic.
The researchers used intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) as a measurement tool. IELT reflects the time between penetration and climax.
After two months, the 14 men in the treatment group had increased their baseline IELT by an average of 231.5 seconds. The 6 men in the placebo group had an average increase of 94.2 seconds.
The men using the benzocaine wipe also reported less distress over PE and more satisfaction with intercourse. Benzocaine was well-tolerated and was not transferred to partners.
The findings were presented in May at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in Boston. Please click here for further details.
