The Effects of Steady Freddy, a Lidocaine-Based Pump Spray for the Treatment of Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) is reported to be the most common sexual dysfunction in men and is defined as the inability to control or delay ejaculation. Steady Freddy is a lidocaine-based ejaculation-delaying spray. This article examines the effects of Steady Freddy on the sexual experience of men that have self-reported to suffer from PE. Under the conditions of a randomized single-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, 150 participants received either placebo or treatment for the duration of 12 weeks and completed an internet-based questionnaire for the quality of their sexual experience. Prior to product usage, participant average latency time was <1 min, 70% claimed to be very sexually dissatisfied, and 67% claimed to be very dissatisfied with ejaculation control. Upon product usage, sexual experience was significantly improved (p<.01). Participant average latency time increased to >2 min, 80% claimed to be sexually satisfied, and 70% claimed to be satisfied with ejaculation control. These effects were not present in the placebo group throughout the trial. These findings provide evidence for the effectiveness of Steady Freddy in significantly improving the quality of sexual experience and suggest that Steady Freddy can assist with PE. Show more
