Most men struggle with the issues about lasting longer in bed and it mainly revolves around the struggles with sensitivity and arousal, and even performance anxiety. While one of the primary purposes of condoms is to prevent STIs and pregnancies, they also have the additional benefit of helping men prolong their performance in bed. But do they really help? Let’s take a look at the anatomy of the issues and discuss how condoms could impact endurance and pleasure.

 

 

Condoms serve as a skin-tight partition between the man and the woman during sex, blocking the riding of skin on skin and thus lowering the level of friction. This serves to benefit men who suffer from premature ejaculation because it does mask the stimulation to a certain extent. In doing so, condoms permit longer intercourse and better control over climaxing.

 

 

The facts mentioned in the previous paragraph can contribute to improved sexual performance. Various types of condoms are specifically designed to help with performance delay.

 

Thicker Condoms – These have been manufactured from latex that is of a thicker grade, thus helping in minimizing sensation.

 

Desensitizing (Delay) Condoms – These types of condoms are designed to delay moment and sexually stimulating activity as they have a mild numbing agent such as benzocaine or lidocaine which reduces sensitivity.

 

Ribbed and textured condoms - A type that could stimulate the partner more while offering control to the wearer.

 

Cooling or Warming Condoms – Many condoms contain coolants that quietly numb the feelings, thereby contributing to a prolonged pleasure experience.

 

 

Many delaying condoms apply a small dose of benzocaine or lidocaine that makes the penis somewhat numb and is not able to over-stimulate or reach ejaculation early. 

Studies showed that such application of numbing agents greatly extended the duration of intercourse to benefit both the sexes attainig mutual climax . Nevertheless, the effects can vary for every individual.
