Misconception: Cleaning the glans with toothpaste can cure premature ejaculation

According to rumors on the Internet, cleaning the glans with toothpaste can paralyze nerves, prolong ejaculation time, and has no side effects. But in fact, the main formula of toothpaste is abrasives, detergent foaming agents, adhesives, sweeteners, spices (mint, eucalyptus, etc.) and water. Among them, mint is the one that works on the glans. In theory, mint does have an inhibitory and paralyzing effect on peripheral nerves, and can delay ejaculation when acting on the glans. But in fact, there are certain risks and side effects in doing so.

In addition to its numbing effect, mint is also irritating. Repeated application can cause congestion of the glans penis, and some people may even have allergic reactions. If you have sex without cleaning it thoroughly, it may also irritate the vaginal mucosa and cause discomfort to the woman. At the same time, the abrasive ingredients in toothpaste (such as talcum powder) have a certain friction force, and repeated rubbing of the glans penis can cause slight abrasions.
