Let me first give some background. I'm 38 years old and work in sales. These past two years, with frequent social engagements and late nights, I've clearly felt that I'm not in the shape I used to be. Intimacy used to last about 20-plus minutes, but now sometimes it's over just past the 10-minute mark. Although my partner hasn't said anything, I know it myself.

I tried oral medication before, but the side effects were fairly obvious—dizziness and dry mouth—so I didn't really like it. Later I wanted to try a topical delay spray. After reading quite a few posts, I finally chose Okamoto Delay Spray for Men 10ml Long-Lasting Spray Adult Products Delay and Erection Aid Novelty Products. The reason was simple: Okamoto started out making condoms, so quality control should be reliable, and 10ml isn't too large a volume—just enough to test the waters.

First Month: From Doubt to True Love

The first time I used it was on a weekend night. After showering, I sprayed it about 25 minutes in advance, two sprays near the coronal sulcus, then spread it evenly with my fingers. To be honest, for the first 15 minutes I felt nothing at all, and I thought I'd bought a placebo.

After about 20-plus minutes, a slight warmth began to appear. It wasn't the burning kind, more like the feeling of warm water rinsing over you. When it actually came time to enter, I clearly felt sensitivity drop by a notch—that old urge of "wanting to sprint as soon as you're in" was held back, and I could control the rhythm more calmly.

How long did it last that time? I checked my phone—from start to finish, about 40 minutes, with two or three rhythm changes in between. My partner's response was better than usual. I won't go into detail on that; those who know, know.

After that I used it seven or eight more times. A few observations:

Onset time has a lot to do with showering. After a shower, the pores are open and absorption is a bit faster, so you feel it in about 20 minutes. If you spray without showering, you have to wait more than 30 minutes.

Dosage is crucial. The first time I sprayed twice, and the effect was just right. Once, when I was in a hurry, I sprayed four times, and the numbness went a bit too far—I didn't feel much pleasure myself, and my partner also felt it was too long and a bit tiring. After that I fixed it at two sprays, and occasionally one and a half when I was in good shape.

It lasts about 2-3 hours. It's not that you stay hard the whole time, but sensitivity stays at a lower level. If you shower two hours after spraying, things basically return to normal.

The Downsides Have to Be Made Clear Too

First, it's not exactly cheap. One 10ml bottle, and I used it up after about seven or eight times. That works out to 15-20 yuan per use. If I use it two or three times a week, that's over 200 yuan a month, and long-term use still stings a bit.

Second, there's slight numbness the first few times. It's not the completely no-feeling kind, but pleasure gets shaved down by a layer. After about the fourth use, my body adapted, the numbness lessened, and pleasure came back quite a bit. If you're after "completely no impact on pleasure," then topical sprays may not be suitable for you at all.

Third, you have to wait after spraying. When it's spontaneous, it's awkward—you have to prepare 20-30 minutes in advance. Once my partner initiated, and I could only make an excuse to shower first, while actually sneaking off to spray. Not a great experience.

Comparing Two Other Products I've Used

Later, out of curiosity, I tried two other products recommended by friends. Briefly, the differences:

If I had to rank them: for balance choose Okamoto, for cheapness choose Black King Kong, for a natural feel choose EROS.

As for how to choose a topical delay liquid, I previously read an article on how to use Gulong Men's Delay Spray. It explained the usage method in quite a lot of detail. No matter which brand you use, these points are universal: clean beforehand, control the dosage, and avoid the urethral opening.

There's also read this pitfall-avoidance checklist before buying boso delay spray. Although it's about another brand, the logic for avoiding pitfalls is about the same—don't be greedy for cheap and buy unregulated products, and don't spray too much right away.

A Few Common Questions

Q: Do you need to wash it off after spraying?
It depends. If your partner minds oral sex, it's best to spray 30 minutes in advance and wash it off before intercourse; the effect remains. If they don't mind, not washing is also fine, but some people find the smell odd. This Okamoto one has a very faint smell, basically unnoticeable.

Q: Can it be used every day?
Not recommended. Topical products are more or less irritating, and daily use makes the skin prone to sensitivity. I generally use it two or three times a week, giving the skin some time to recover.

Q: What if it has no effect after spraying?
Maybe the dosage isn't enough, or your body absorbs slowly. You can try increasing to three sprays, or spray 40 minutes in advance. If you've tried three or four times with no feeling, this product may not suit you—try one with a different ingredient.

Who It's For and Who It's Not For

One last thing: topical delay liquids are only an aid. Don't expect them to solve all your problems. The basics—sleep, exercise, mindset—matter far more than sprays. If your condition keeps declining, adjust your lifestyle first, then consider using products.
