Condoms for Longer Lovemaking

“The longer, the more joyful.”

Quite a few men are secretly stressed due to premature ejaculation. For those men, condoms that prolong erection have been introduced.

Yuhan Corporation, a renowned Korean pharmaceutical company, introduced a new condom brand Khan yesterday. Khan contains the benzocaine cream, which temporarily desensitizes the nerve in the penis. Benzocaine is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

This condom is lubricated with the cream inside, and the effect can be felt in a few minutes, the company explained.

Khan is classified as a medical tool, so consumers can conveniently purchase it at a pharmacy. The price for a set of three is 6,000 won.

The company said, “Due to stress and other factors, 30 to 50 percent of men experience premature ejaculation regardless of age.” Ejaculation control condom was first developed by Unidus. Co., the no. 1 condom maker in the world (which produce 150 million condoms a year), in August last year. The company has sold 5.5 million “Longlove” condoms so far.
