How to Use a Delay Spray
Delay sprays are designed to gently numb your penis and slightly reduce sensitivity. The idea is to enable you to resist climax for longer sexual pleasure.
To use, simply spray on to your erect penis and leave for a few minutes to allow the numbing agent to work.
Remember, less is more here, as you can always add more if needed, but you can’t take it off.
Note: results may vary.
Cock Rings
Cock rings can help strengthen your stamina and power. They aim to slow the backflow of blood in your member so you can feel harder, and last longer.
A cock ring set like the Lovehoney Get Hard Extra Thick Silicone Cock Ring Set (3 Pack) is the perfect option for customising your pleasure sessions.
With 3 different sizes to choose from, you can pick the ring that fits you best, or use a combination of rings around your shaft and testicles to potentially prolong your stamina and intensify results.
Techniques That May Help You Last Longer
It's good to give
To slow down, focus on your partner's pleasure over yours. Whether you're using your mouth, hands or a sex toy (see here), your lover will benefit from prolonged pleasure.
Tactical masturbation
Masturbating an hour or so before sex could really slow things down for you. It is a tried and tested technique that can work weill in your favour.
Edging Can Help Men Stay Harder for Longer
Edging is the act of stopping yourself just as you are about to orgasm. It's a technique that needs practice to master, which is why we recommend stamina training.
Using a male masturbator, like a Fleshlight, can help you to last longer. Fleshlights are designed to feel like a vagina or an anus, so they can help you to train your sensations, listen more closely to your body and to learn when the point of no return is coming.
There are many toys you can use. A stroker like the Tracey Cox Edge Cup is also a great option, with its textured sleeve moulding to your shaft for a firm, comfortable fit.
Say Squeeze
To stop you from orgasming, gently squeeze your penis just below the head. This squeeze technique pushes blood out of your shaft and slows down your ejaculatory response.
Slow it Down
If you feel like you're about to climax, you can slow down. Try to reduce the intensity of whatever your partner is doing, or have a total break from it.
A good tactic is to focux on your partner with an appropriate sex toy. Try something small at first like the ultra-stimulating Lovehoney Ignite 20 Function Finger Vibrator. With 3 powerful speeds and 17 exciting patterns to choose from, its tingly tip bestows buzz-tastic delights upon any sweet spot you can reach with one finger.
Please note: finger vibes are for external use only. Not for anal use.
Positions That May Help You Last Longer
Different sexual positions can also help you last longer. Since practice makes perfect, there’s plenty here to try and have fun with.
Shallow Thrusts
Thrusting deeply can pile on the sensations - instead, try positions with shallow penetration. Positions on your sides, like spooning, are useful to control the speed and depth.
Other shallow penetration positions include:
Woman On Top
For hetero couples, the woman being on top can help to keep sex going for longer. They can keep the speed slow, or pause to bring you back from the brink.
Popular woman on top positions include:
Lying Down Doggie
Lying down doggie style only allows for fairly shallow penetration, making it a good position type for slowing you down.
Start in the traditional doggie position before you both lower down slowly onto whichever surface you've chosen. The receiving partner should be lying flat, with the penetrating partner lying on top or raised up slightly on their knees.
This angle requires a slow and shallow grind that limits intense stimulation.
You can discover even more positions with the Lovehoney Position of the Week Cards, and find which ones work best for you.
