Summary
Climax for men is a strong desensitizing spray that might help some men control their ejaculation response during sex.
I found it worked reasonably well on the numbing front, but it gave me a tingling sensation that took a long time to stop. It also left a greasy layer on the skin that was difficult to wipe off, making it less subtle to use.
The good
- Has a strong numbing action.
- Takes action in just five minutes.
- The metered pump makes it easier to apply the same amount each time.
- Lasts around two hours.
- Low price.
The bad
- Not a permanent cure for premature ejaculation.
- The recommended three to four sprays might numb too much.
- Faint chemical spray and taste.
- Leaves a greasy layer on the skin.
- Tingling sensation that lasts a long time.
- Lack of instructions or safety information.
Who makes it?
The spray is made by an Indian pharmaceutical company called MidasCare. That explains why even though I bought it on the UK Amazon site, it was sent from India (wrapped in a very large quantity of packaging tape).
I took a look at their website (midas-care.com) and it seems that they specialize in aerosol products like inhalers and a handful of other health products. Perhaps they decided to use their experience in aerosols to enter the lucrative premature ejaculation market.
Ingredients
The active ingredient of Climax for men is 10% lidocaine. That’s a very typical ingredient of desensitizing sprays, with many others containing the same.
There don’t appear to be any additional ingredients, other than the aerosol and propellant listed on the packaging.
How to use Climax spray
Like many numbing sprays I’ve tried, the instructions are lacking in detail. This is all the information leaflet said:
For desired effect, spray Climax a few minutes earlier. Shake container before use. Hold can upright, 5 cms away. Spray 3-4 times by pressing the spray button till the entire area is covered.
Presumably a few minutes earlier is 5 to 10 minutes like most sprays. I’m not sure what they mean by the entire area though – is that the head, the shaft, or both?
There’s nothing about washing it off before use either, which I would definitely do. Considering the lack of instructions, if you’re going to use it, this is what I’d do:
- Make a test spray on your arm, and leave for five mins to see how your skin reacts to it.
- Shake it and spray just one spray on your penis head and frenulum the first time.
- Wait five minutes and then wash gently with warm water, a shower, or with a wet cloth. Also, wash your hands.
- Have sex.
- Decide if you need more sprays next time and/or if you need to spray the entire penis.
My experience using Climax
I decided to ignore the recommendation of applying three to four sprays, knowing from experience that it would be way too much. So I just used one spray to start with.
I was pleased to see it was a metered pump. That means you can get the same dose each time, which is preferable to continuous sprays or creams.
However, it does shoot out very fast, so perhaps the dose would be more than I expected. I also noticed there was only a faint chemical spray, which is better than the strong smell some have. It did seem a little more greasy than others I’ve tried though.
It takes action very quickly, and after five minutes I noticed I was already numb. In fact, for just one spray I felt very numb on my penis head where I’d sprayed it.
As is often the case with lidocaine sprays, there was a warm tingling sensation that lasted for about an hour before slowly wearing off. It wasn’t a burning feeling like some give, but there was a constant sensation.
I gave myself a quick wash to remove any residue, then invited my partner to the bedroom, who I’d already warned that it was testing time again!
We got down to some foreplay to see how the numbing was and found that it had a similar effect to most other sprays – exactly what I’d imagine. Though I do think it was a little too numb considering I’d only used one spray.
We tested it with oral, with my partner saying it had a faint chemical taste, but like the smell, it wasn’t too bad.
We then moved on to sex, and it definitely reduced the stimulation significantly. I think if I’d sprayed the shaft as well, there would have been very limited sensation for me.
It did exactly what it’s supposed to do then: desensitize and numb me. I didn’t time the sex, but it definitely gave me the ability to last longer by a good amount of time.
Verdict
If you’re after a strong desensitizing spray, then Climax will definitely provide that. I found just one spray was more than enough to work and helped reduce the intensity of the physical stimulation of sex.
However, I think there’s also the potential to reduce too much sensation, and with it the pleasure. It would be a case of trying it out yourself and seeing if you can get the balance right.
I was unimpressed by the lack of instructions, and the careless ambiguity of some of the few instructions they do provide.
Like so many of these generic lidocaine sprays, the manufacturer doesn’t appear to specialize in premature ejaculation. Otherwise, they might have put more thought into the user experience.
Still, for the low price, it’s one that might be worth trying if you’re keen to try different sprays to find one that works best for you.
Just be aware that no clinical trials have been done on this spray to test its effectiveness or safety.
If I use climax spray, can I feel intercourse?
Yes, but some of the sensation will likely be reduced depending on how you respond to the spray.
Hello,
1)Does this numb the inner vagina during intercourse?
2)Will the effect go if we wash after 5 mins for beginning the intercourse?
3)Is there any problem while using condoms along with it?
4) If we spray before erection (before foreplay), will the penis get an erection when we reach for the intercourse?
Please help with the above doubts.
Thank you
Hi Rahid
1. It can do, yes.
2. This should stop number 1. happening.
3. I’m not 100% sure. Some manufacturers of sprays using lidocaine advise against using a condom, others say it’s fine. The maker of Climax doesn’t state either way now.
4. It depends. Some men have no problem, others find the numbing affects the erection. You will have to experiment.
Hi,
Can I use an erectile oil and climax spray at the same time? If yes the which one I should apply first?
Thanks in advance
Hi MJ
I don’t know, to be honest. I wouldn’t want to take the risk and tell you it’s fine to mix them when I just don’t know. Sorry!
Ethan
Hi, let me confirm one thing that, will it reduce my erection or just reduce the sensitivity for that particular portion for some time?
Hi Habib
That’s a difficult question to answer. In theory, it should just reduce sensitivity – that’s what it’s intended to do. The problem is that some men have erection problems because they lose sensitivity. Others are fine though, so you won’t know until you try it or another similar spray.
Ethan
Hey! This could be a dumb question but can you please tell me when to you use it exactly? I mean, I sprayed it almost 30mins ago and then I went to my partner. We did some foreplay but I don’t feel anything! I mean, my penis isn’t awake yet! I watched some porn videos too, to make it hard but it’s just numb (the same position when I sprayed).
1. Do I need to spray it ONLY when it is hard?
2. This was my first time – Is it because I’m over thinking?
3. My regular life sex is absolutely normal but wanted to use to for some fun!
Hi Darshan
If you have a normal sex life, I would not use any of these products – there is no need, and as you found out, they can reduce the fun by numbing too much anyway. If you really want to try it, then spray it into a glass and just use a small dab on the end of your finger instead of a full dosage. Rub a little into the penis head and then wipe it off.
Ethan
It should be applied during erection or while in flaccid?
Hi Alaam
It doesn’t really matter, but normally when flaccid I think.
Ethan
Sir, wash to applying or applying to wash. I am not reading the English language, I speak Tamil.
Hi Thilagar
You need to apply the spray. And then wash or wipe.
Ethan
How should i use this spray?
Hi Renjith
In the article, there is a specific section that explains how to use the spray.
Ethan
Can you use it daily?
Hi Raja
Yes, you can I believe. But I wouldn’t use it multiple times per day.
Using this spray, does your erection last longer and up to how many hours?
Hi Prakash
No, it doesn’t make your erection last longer. It is supposed to help you have sex for more time before ejaculating.
Ethan
If we spray one time how long does it work?
Hi Vijay
I’m not sure exactly, but most of these sprays usually last 1-3 hours.
Ethan
Hi, just a day back I used this spray and tried, little upset cos it doesn’t work, kindly suggest any other spray.
Hi Prakash
Have a look around this website as I talk about lots of sprays. My top 3 are promescent, stud 100 and fortacin.
Ethan
Can i spray it on every part of my penis?
Hi Imran
Yes you can, but I don’t recommend it unless just spraying on the head doesn’t help enough. If you spray the whole penis, you risk feeling nothing at all, which isn’t much fun!
Ethan
Dear Ethan, Thanks for your nice article. Today I purchased Climax spary. But didn’t use it. I have some questions as below.
1. Can I wash my penis after apply the spary and before intercourse?
2. If I wash, is it effect the result?
Thanks
Hi Jamez
You’re welcome! Yes you can wash it at both times. The effect should still be the same if you wash it – as long as you wait a little while for the skin to absorb it.
Ethan
When you say spray once on head of penis.. Do you mean on the foreskin or under it?
Hi
You should retract the foreskin and spray it on the exposed head.
Ethan
Cheers for the helpful review Ethan! Loving your articles and write-ups on this site in general – thanks!
Hi Ned
You’re very welcome – it’s always encouraging to know they are appreciated!
Ethan
How can I buy ?
Hi
You need to search for it online. It’s sold on amazon.co.uk but I haven’t seen it in other amazon sites around the world.
Ethan
I have use the climax spray in the year of 2008.But I notice the duration of ejaculation time is very poor with 2 or 3 minutes it’s come (Sperm) reason I can’t understand.As per your recommendation I go through this spray.But I am not satisfied.
So please let us know the details it may be, I have purchase the duplicate spray.
Regards
Hi Abhijit
This isn’t the best spray I’ve tried, so I would recommend a different one anyway. Having said that, it can work well for some men, just not everyone. Unfortunately not everyone has premature ejaculation just because of a physically sensitive penis. You might need to try other techniques if it still doesn’t work for you.
