So my Lovely assistant just returned home with a sexy little package (thanks beautiful!) chock full of wonderfull goodies, including a small sample of Kama Sutra brand “mint pleasure balm”.

Now, at first I wasn’t sure what it was for, or how to use it.

It had a REALLY strong mint scent (think radioactive Altoids), and a green, gooey appearance.
Since my pervious experiences with kama Sutra products has proven 99% of them to be edible, I gave it a little taste test.

In the 8 seconds or so before my tongue went numb, I regretted that decision immensely.
“ah-HA!” I thought, “Unless this is some uber-concentrated-breath-freshener-from beyond-the-grave, I think this product might be for men!”

After this brilliant thought entered my head (and while I waited for my tongue to revive) I ran to my computer and Googled this mysterious gel.

Sure enough, it’s marked as a “prolonging” agent designed for men who are too quick on the draw. Its purpose is to desensitize the penis and therefore make the sex last longer.

There was mention of it being pleasantly minty when used for oral, but from the potency of this stuff it could probably double as a dental anesthesia, so be careful. When you give head, it’s kind of important to feel your tongue and to know where your teeth are.

A drawback to this balm is that it can’t be used with a condom, so there is a certain amount of numbness-sharing between partners. It is supposed to retain its numbing qualities for a while after you wipe it off, so I’m guessing that would be the way to go. Just be sure to get it all, or it might not end up being the romantic evening both partners were hoping for.

I don’t think I’ll be using this product as a sex aid, but I think I’ll keep it in my first aid box as an emergency anesthetic.
