Recently, several friends have asked me about buying endurance sprays, but with so many brands online, they don't know how to choose. I've stepped on plenty of pitfalls myself, trying everything from cheap options costing a few dozen yuan to imported ones worth hundreds. Today, I'm writing this to help beginners save some tuition fees.

Pitfall 1: Buying blindly without checking ingredients.

Many people see "endurance" or "delay" and place an order, only to find it either ineffective or leaving the glans completely numb. In fact, the core ingredients determine the effect and sensation. Mainstream topical endurance liquids fall into these categories:

How to choose? Check the ingredient list: If it only contains "ethanol" or "lidocaine," it's basically pure anesthetic, and beginners should be cautious. Opt for products with plant extracts like cnidium or clove. Also, watch out for alcohol content, as it can irritate wounds.

Pitfall 2: Blindly chasing "super-long delay," ending up numb with no sensation.

Some products advertise "60-minute delay." I'll tell you, that's the maximum duration; normal people can't handle that long, and it's often accompanied by intense numbness. When I first started, I bought a so-called German brand (later found to be fake), sprayed four times, and after half an hour, my glans felt like it was under anesthesia—no pleasure during sex at all.

The right approach: Start with a low dose and find your "golden time." For instance, German Black Diamond Endurance Liquid suggests spraying 1-4 times. I recommend spraying just once the first time, then adjust based on the effect. The goal isn't to last as long as possible, but to control your rhythm so both parties are comfortable. A delay of 15-30 minutes is the ideal range.

Pitfall 3: Going cheap and buying fakes.

The endurance liquid market is murky, especially with low-priced items. Legitimate imported brands, like Wannai or Yilusi 101, typically cost 80-150 yuan for 10-15ml. If someone sells you 30 yuan with free shipping, it's likely a counterfeit with unknown ingredients, possibly even containing banned substances.

Pitfall 4: Using it wrong and blaming the product.

Many people spray a large amount and immediately get down to business, either not letting it absorb or applying it unevenly. The correct steps:
1. Spray 20-30 minutes beforehand, wash the glans, and dry it.
2. Spray 1-2 times on the glans and corona, and spread evenly with your finger.
3. Wait for absorption (about 3-5 minutes) before putting on pants to avoid rubbing it off.
4. If you haven't had sex after 30 minutes, you can wash it off with water and reapply, but don't do it frequently.
Note: Avoid spraying on the urethral opening—it will sting. If the female partner is giving oral sex, wash it off beforehand, as residue can affect the taste.

Pitfall 5: Only focusing on delay, ignoring lubrication and safety.

Some sprays make the skin dry after absorption, ruining the experience. It's recommended to pair them with water-based lubricant. Also, don't use them if you have balanitis or foreskin wounds, as alcohol can irritate. If you're on blood pressure or heart medication, consult a doctor first.

Lastly, a word of advice: Endurance liquids are just tools—don't rely on them. If you have long-term premature ejaculation, see a urologist first.
