"It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion. Two lines of "climax control" condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.
It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion.
Two lines of climax control condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.
"People have been waiting for these for years," said Jane Flaherty, in Coconut Grove, Fla. "This makes it easier and more likely that people will use a condom."
Trojan and Durex each developed a climax-control condom after learning that roughly 30 percent of people in clinical trials complained of premature ejectulatin.
"We thought the thing to do is to make the experience longer lasting and, therefore, more pleasurable," said Trojan vice president of marketing Richard Kline.
Trojan has sold 21 million of its Trojan Extended Pleasure Condoms since introducing them last year, Kline said. Already, it's the fifth-best-selling condom in the U.S. Each brand costs about $12.20 a dozen, about $1 more a box than traditional condoms.
Durex, base in the United Kingdom, sold 18,000 of its new Performax Condoms on the Internet in three months before introducing them in the U.S. last summer, said Tonya Cramer, associate brand manager.
Numbing the penis to prolong sexual intercourse is nothing new. Before the climax-control condoms were intoduced, Flaherty said, customers would buy a desensitizing spray or cream, apart from their condoms.
The new condoms simplify that process, she said, and reduce the risk that the anethetic will numb both partners. The Benzocaine is inside the condom and, in the case of the Performax brand, is heat activated. According to the condom manufacturers, desensitzing the penis can delay climax by as long as five minutes. Still, prolonged pleasure should not trump birth control or safe sex as reasons from using a condom, Kline said.

«How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex -
Studies show that kids who feel they can talk with their parents about sex - because their moms and dads speak openly and listen carefully to them -- are less likely to engage in high-risk behavior as teens than kids who do not feel they can talk with their parents about the subject. So explore your feelings about sex. If you are very uncomfortable with the subject, read some books (see Readings for Parents) and discuss your feelings with a trusted friend, relative, physician, or clergy member. The more you examine the subject, the more confident you'll feel discussing it.
