Lidocaine to delay male orgasm

Lidocaine is now commonly used as a spray or cream applied to the head of the penis a few minutes before coitus to desensitize the penis and therefore prolong pleasure for the woman. I've yet to see if it makes any difference myself, but supposedly if applied long enough before sex (or used with a condom) it doesn't desensitise the woman.

There are many products containing Lidocaine available on the market, eg. http://www.sexualconfidence.co.uk.

Benzocaine is used to the same purpose, for example in the Durex Performa condom.

Adrenaline vs epinephrine

The subject of the article, and of the reference to additions thereof, is a medication. Epinephrine has its own medication page, so shouldn't this article reference the medication page and not the one for the endogenous hormone adrenaline? Morgan Phoenix (talk) 21:59, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chemistry maybe needs more linkage?

I am a non-chemist/biologist but do enjoy reading a bit in depth about subjects when they spur my interest. The Chemistry part of this page is obviously written by a passionate chemist, maybe so much that they forgot that Wiki is meant to encourage curiosity and make knowledge more accessible (not just available). The section could be improved with some internal linkage to terminology (Wiki pages) that is ambiguous across context/fields of science (e.g. "conforming"). You don't need to go crazy with links. For example linking to "molecule" or "bonds" is maybe a bit too much, but at least the lesser known terminology would be welcomed. 87.209.254.60 (talk) 07:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
