Wonder Topical Spray for premature ejaculation

Male erectile failure is a common problem not only in North America but worldwide. For decades research has been ongoing to discover a pill or cream that can at least maintain erection and help males who suffer from premature ejaculation. Recent reports from the first US trials on a formulation of a spray anesthetic indicate that drug, Tempe, may have some promise. 

The anesthetic is sprayed on the penis and recent studies show that it increases the time to ejaculation by as much as five hundred percent. Researchers claim that this is by far the best drug ever for premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation is a common problem in males aged 18-60 and affects as many as one in 3 men. These numbers experts say may even be much higher as many men do not always come forward because of fear of embarrassment.

In men who have erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation is claimed to be even more common. While many treatments have been devised for this annoying social problem, none has been effective in the long term. Previously available creams took nearly 45-60 minutes to work. More over the individuals had to wear a condom to prevent transmitting the anesthetic to the partner.

Now there is news for individuals suffering from premature ejaculation. Pharmaceutical company Plethora Solutions of London, England and Sciele Pharma Inc. of Atlanta have developed an anesthetic spray, called PSD502 or Tempe, that contains Lidocaine and prilocaine which is released as an aerosol spray. The drug is simply sprayed on the penis prior to sexual intercourse.
The present trial was held in 38 US medical centers and had 256 men across the USA, Canada and Poland. Prior to the study, these patients had an average duration of intercourse of 36 seconds.

Two-thirds of the participants used PSD502 and the rest were given a placebo spray.

Dr. Michael G. Wyllie of Plethora presented his findings at a recent Sexual Medicine Society meeting in San Diego. The results showed that men who received the drug had an increased intercourse time to an average of 156 seconds, compared with an increase of only 48 seconds in the placebo group. These benefits continued for several months during the study. Moreover, both men and women reported superior fulfillment with their sexual experiences. Other than an occasional numbing sensation felt by the female, no other adverse effects were observed.  Since the Europeans have also showed similar results there are now plans to undertake more studies and get FDA approval.

Men who cannot get it up- Treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction

Many men have problems achieving an erection. For some, the problem is that they simply can’t get an erection and in others the erection is not sustained or is quite limp. The actual number of men who have problems with erection is not really known partly because men do not go around bragging about this problem to their doctors. In any case, the numbers are quite high. Men would like to seek help but the condition is too embarrassing for them to talk about it.

In recent years, some physicians have taken a proactive approach and have been asking men if they have any problems with their sex life. This has often led to a more relaxed atmosphere and it appears that many men are now coming out of the closet to discuss this issue.

Fact- all men at some point in their lives go through a period when they fail to achieve an erection. While this is not an issue when it occurs once, twice or three times, but if it is persistent and occurs on a regular basis, then a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is made. Sex therapists indicate that at least 25 percent of men have this problem and it is not only the old people. Erectile dysfunction affects men of all ages.

In simple, the cause of erectile function can be divided into two groups- organic meaning that there is something physical causing the penis not to become erect. This may be an illness, trauma, or surgery on the penis. The other group is psychological or emotional. Some data indicate that the organic causes account for the majority of cases of erectile failure. About 10-25 percent have an emotional problem and cannot get an erection. In about 5 percent of men, no cause is ever found.

What is tragic is that many men do not seek help because of embarrassment and this makes sex life for their loved ones miserable. In fact, the majority of men who do seek treatment is because the spouse insists on it.
