I'm thinking about using Emla cream to help with premature ejaculation, and I saw it contains lidocaine and prilocaine. Is this safe to use for this purpose? I'm just a bit concerned and would like some advice on whether it's a good idea or if there are any risks I should be aware of.

Emla cream is not typically used for premature ejaculation. It is a topical anesthetic cream commonly used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures. For premature ejaculation, medications like dapoxetine (Priligy) can be more effective.

I'm really concerned about how to control pre-cum. It happens whenever I even think about anything sexual, and it's becoming a bit frustrating. I just want to understand if there's a way to prevent it or reduce the occurrence because it really bothers me. Any advice on how to deal with this?

It's normal for pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) to be released as a response to sexual thoughts or stimulation. To manage it, practicing techniques like mindfulness, relaxation, and focusing on controlling arousal through deep breathing or distraction can help. If this continues to cause concern, consulting with a doctor or therapist may offer additional strategies.
