Begin the Maintain

Mr. 1 Minute,

Benzocaine just might be the trick you need. Benzocaine produces a slight numbing sensation on your penis and may help you avoid premature ejaculation. Condomania carries this desensitizer in several products. The first on the market was Durex Maintain which is a desensitizing lubricant you apply directly to your penis before you put on the condom. Then Durex decided to cut out the middle step and began applying the desensitizing lotion directly to the condom lubricant so you don't have to, and walah!, the Durex Performax. Trojan has also produced such a condom: the Trojan Extended Pleasure which, when it was introduced, was the best seller at Condomania for many months.

The most important thing you need to remember when using these products they if applied to the wrong body part you, or your partner, may find that all the "wrong parts" are numb. Women tend to greatly dislike this sudden numbing in their vagina so be very careful you only apply it to yourself. If you worry you have gotten the benzocaine on the outside of the condom, it comes applied to the inside of both the Druex and Trojan varieties, then simply take the condom off and use a new one.

I once received a note from a customer who mistakenly applied Maintain to his partner's vagina and then he began performing oral sex on her. Needless to say neither one of them could feel a thing...and well there was giggling all around but not a lot of sex!
