The biggest pitfall when buying an external endurance spray for the first time is blindly following the crowd. Seeing online reviews praising a certain brand, you place an order, only to find it either has no effect, numbs you to the point of losing sensation, or in severe cases, causes an allergic reaction. I've personally tried seven or eight different products, and I've hit plenty of pitfalls. Today, I'm sharing my experience to help you save some money on trial and error.

Let me start with the conclusion: external endurance sprays do work, but only if you choose the right one and use it correctly. Mainstream products on the market fall into two categories. One is the physical anesthetic type, which reduces sensitivity through local anesthetic ingredients like lidocaine or benzocaine. The other is the plant-extract type, using ingredients like Cnidium, clove, and Sophora flavescens, which are gentler in effect. JOKER Men's Endurance Spray belongs to the latter, focusing on delaying ejaculation and aiding erection, making it suitable for most beginners.

Pitfall 1: Ignoring Ingredients, Only Looking at Marketing

Many beginners get excited at claims like "delay for 60 minutes" or "no numbness," but actual results vary from person to person. The key lies in the ingredients and concentration. Physical anesthetic types work quickly but tend to cause numbness, affecting sensation; plant-based types are gentler but need to be applied in advance, and their effects aren't as exaggerated.

How to tell them apart? Check the ingredient list on the packaging. If the main ingredients are lidocaine or benzocaine, it's the anesthetic type; if it's Cnidium, clove, or Sophora flavescens, it's the plant-based type. JOKER Men's Endurance Spray features plant-based ingredients, gentle and non-numbing, but don't expect "60 minutes"—extending by 20-30 minutes is already decent.

Pitfall 2: Wrong Dosage, Either No Effect or Overdoing It

The most common mistake beginners make is spraying too much. Spray too much, and the glans goes numb, making it hard to get an erection, let alone enjoy sensation. Spray too little, and there's no effect. The right approach: start with 1 spray, wait 15-20 minutes, and gauge the feeling; add more if needed, but never exceed 3 sprays. The nozzle design of JOKER Men's Endurance Spray is fairly precise, but you still need to control it yourself.

Also, where you spray matters. Only spray the glans and the coronal sulcus, avoiding the urethral opening and scrotum. After spraying, spread it evenly with your hand and wait for absorption. If it feels too wet, gently pat dry with a tissue.

Pitfall 3: Wrong Timing

Many people spray right before the moment, only to have things end before the effect kicks in. External endurance sprays generally need to be applied 15-30 minutes in advance to allow time for skin absorption. JOKER Men's Endurance Spray officially recommends about 20 minutes ahead, but individual differences vary, so it's best to test it 30 minutes before.

Also, don't spray right after a shower—wet skin affects absorption. And don't rush to put on underwear after spraying; wait 1-2 minutes for it to dry a bit.

Pitfall 4: Buying Counterfeit Products

This is the most dangerous one. If the price online is absurdly low, stay away. Genuine JOKER Men's Endurance Spray typically costs between 100-200 yuan; anything much cheaper is likely fake. How to verify? Check the packaging quality—genuine products have clear printing and an anti-counterfeit code you can scan. Additionally, legitimate products will have a batch number and expiration date.

I've seen people buy a "JOKER" for 30-40 yuan to save money, only to find it had no effect and caused a rash. Remember, for products used on intimate areas, safety comes first—don't skimp on those few dozen yuan.

Pitfall 5: Ignoring Your Own Condition

External endurance sprays aren't for everyone. If you have skin damage, inflammation, or allergies to certain ingredients, don't use them. Also, if you're taking blood pressure or heart medication, consult a doctor first. JOKER Men's Endurance Spray is gentle, but you still can't mess around.

Moreover, don't think using an endurance spray lets you do whatever you want. It's just an aid—if you're tired or stressed, the effect will be diminished. And long-term reliance could affect natural erections, so it's best to use it occasionally, not daily.

How to Choose?

If you're on a budget but want to give it a try, JOKER Men's Endurance Spray is a solid entry-level choice—moderately priced with a gentle effect. If you want a stronger delay effect, check out German Black Diamond Endurance Liquid, which is said to delay for over 30 minutes, but it's also plant-based and non-numbing. There's also German Imported EROS 101, which has a good reputation and suits those seeking quality.

If you're more concerned about aiding erection, you could try oral products, but external sprays offer limited help with erections—don't expect a single spray to make you hard.

Common Questions

Q: Do I need to wash off JOKER Men's Endurance Spray after use?
A: Generally, no, but if you're planning oral sex, it's recommended to wash it off beforehand to avoid numbing your partner.

Q: Can I use it with other products?
A: Not recommended. The ingredients in external endurance sprays are complex, and mixing them could irritate the skin.

Q: How long until it takes effect?
A: It varies by person; generally, it kicks in within 15-30 minutes and lasts 1-2 hours.
