Desensitizing & Climax-Control Condoms

Desensitizing Condoms — Last Longer in Bed

Desensitizing condoms have a small amount of benzocaine (a mild numbing agent) in the inside lubricant. The benzocaine slightly reduces sensitivity on the head of the penis, helping you delay climax without losing the erection.

It's a low-effort way to last longer — no pill schedule, no behavioral training — and the effect is gentle enough that you still enjoy the sex.

What's in Stock

• Trojan Extended Pleasure Climax Control Condoms — $3.99 — the most popular climax-control condom in the US. Lubricated with Trojan's proprietary "Climax Control" formulation containing 4% benzocaine.

For a broader selection of products that help with stamina, see our Climax Delay Sprays & Gels collection — these include topical sprays you apply directly (like Promescent Delay Spray) and can be paired with any condom.

How Desensitizing Condoms Work

The benzocaine lubricant absorbs into the skin of the penis head over a few minutes after the condom is on. This slightly reduces nerve sensation, making it harder to reach climax quickly. The effect is mild — you'll still feel everything, just dialed down a notch or two.

Most users report lasting roughly twice as long as without. Effect typically wears off as the condom is worn longer, so timing matters.

Tips for Best Results

• Put the condom on at least 2–3 minutes before penetration to let the benzocaine absorb.
• Don't touch the inside of the condom with your fingers — benzocaine on your hands can numb things you don't want numbed.
• Stop if you experience irritation or allergic reaction. Benzocaine allergy is rare but real — discontinue use and switch to a non-medicated condom.
• Pair with edge-control techniques for compounding effect.

Desensitizing Condoms FAQ

How effective are desensitizing condoms for premature ejaculation?

Studies on benzocaine-coated condoms show they typically extend time to climax by about 50–100% versus regular condoms. They work best for mild-to-moderate cases. For chronic premature ejaculation, talk to a doctor about prescription options.

Will my partner feel the numbing?

The benzocaine is on the inside of the condom (against the penis), and the amount is small. Some partners report a mild tingling sensation, but transfer is minimal. If your partner has sensitive skin or a known benzocaine allergy, choose a non-medicated condom instead.

Can I use Trojan Extended Pleasure with regular lube?

Yes — water-based or silicone-based lubes are fine. Avoid oil-based lubes (they degrade latex). Don't apply additional lube to the inside of the condom; it would dilute the climax-control formula.

What if I want to last longer but don't want a numbing condom?

Topical delay sprays like Promescent Delay Spray let you control where and how much numbing agent you use. They work with any condom (or no condom). See our delay spray collection for full options.
