Premature ejaculation can be treated with various medications, from pills to creams. Premature ejaculation cream is the most famous method to treat premature ejaculation.

What is included in the premature ejaculation cream?

Premature ejaculation cream consists of lignocaine with or without prilocaine. Creams are widely used to treat premature ejaculation. It works by reducing penile sensitivity, allowing longer sexual intercourse before ejaculation.

What is lignocaine?

In 1940, lignocaine was found to be an effective pain reliever, and its use quickly spread because of its safety compared to earlier anesthetic options.


It is used both as an injection and as a local anesthetic to control localized pain and generally has rare side effects, especially when applied topically. It is often used to numb the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and rectum.

How does premature ejaculation cream work?

In the treatment of premature ejaculation, a cream causes numbness in the penile skin.


Premature ejaculation cream is designed to be applied to the tip or head of the penis. This part of the penis is the most sensitive to touch. By making the glans less sensitive, you will feel less sensation during sex and reduce the risk of premature ejaculation.


In most cases, the premature ejaculation cream contains a mixture of lignocaine and prilocaine, a different type of local anesthetic. In addition to premature ejaculation, lignocaine and prilocaine cream are often used as anesthetics before injections and minor dermatological procedures.


Studies show that lignocaine and prilocaine creams are effective in stopping premature ejaculation. In a 2002 study, researchers found that a cream containing 5% lignocaine and prilocaine increased the mean discharge time to 8.7 minutes (+/- 1.7 minutes).


Prilocaine cream with lignocaine is designed to be used 20-45 minutes before sexual activity. In the same study linked above, researchers found that the cream worked best when used 30 minutes before sexual activity. Then wash so as not to affect the feelings of your sexual partner.

What are the advantages of premature ejaculation cream?

The biggest benefit of premature ejaculation cream is that it works for most men. Lignocaine and prilocaine cream, applied 30 minutes before sex, significantly increases ejaculation time, allowing you and your partner to enjoy sex for longer.


Lignocaine-prilocaine is cheap and widely available at pharmacies, so it's easy to buy with a prescription.

What are the disadvantages of premature ejaculation cream?

The biggest disadvantage of a premature ejaculation cream is that it can get dirty because it is a cream. After applying the cream containing lignocaine and prilocaine, you should wash your hands thoroughly so as not to accidentally apply the anesthetic to other parts of the body.


It is also important to wash off the lignocaine cream after 20-30 minutes, as some creams are risking affecting your partner. This means that if you choose a cream-based remedy to treat premature ejaculation, you will need a bath nearby.


Like other local anesthetics, lignocaine cream may cause a slight decrease in sensation during sexual intercourse. However, research shows that lignocaine does not affect orgasm quality or the overall level of sexual pleasure in general.
