Sexual enhancement spritz gets FDA approval

A topical spray designed to prolong intercourse for men who experience early ejaculation was approved for over-the-counter sales in the US on Monday.

Called Endure, its active ingredients include lidocaine, a common dental anesthetic.

It penetrates the penal skin and desensitizes the nerves beneath the surface, which the company claims decreases ejaculation reflex. 

The company's website says that the transmission of lidocaine is most likely to occur with oral contact and cautions users against ingesting the product but claim it is safe for oral contact.

They caution against using Endure if you or your partner have allergies to lidocaine or other anesthetics.

Endure has been granted FDA approval in the midst of a controversy over a female sexual enhancement drug called flibanserin, which parent company Sprout Pharmaceuticals resubmitted for approval on February 17.

The FDA did not grant approval to flibanserin out of concerns that it limits women's ability to drive because it makes them dozy.

The debacle sparked controversy in which one side argued that while solutions for male sexual dysfunction such as Viagra exist, little has been done to tackle the female side.

A non-pharmaceutical solution to enhancing sexuality could exist for both men and women in the form of a diet.

Marrena Lindberg wrote "The Orgasmic Diet" in 2008, which proposes a low-carb diet supplemented with a high dose of Omega 3s.

Nutritional consultant Alexis Freud write "The Libido Diet" in 2014, which applies to both men and women.

The Sexuality EDucation Network provides non-pharmaceutical solutions for sexual enhancement based on the latest research.
