First, some background. I'm 40 this year and work in sales, so I have a lot of business dinners and an irregular schedule. Over the past two years I've clearly felt my condition decline. I've used two topical delay sprays before, both regular versions. After spraying you wait half an hour; they work but the numbness is severe—I can barely feel anything, and my partner also said the experience was so-so. Later, while chatting with a client, he mentioned the original imported Indian God Oil GOD OIL Gen 2 new packaging, saying it's a non-numbing formula, so I bought a bottle to try.

I chose it mainly for the "non-numbing" point. Most topical delay sprays on the market work through anesthetics—after spraying it's like being given a local anesthetic: the time is longer but the process is uninteresting. The Gen 2 God Oil claims to have a revised formula that reduces numbness, so I wanted to see if that's true.

The first time I used it was on a weekend night. After showering I sprayed twice near the coronal sulcus. The instructions say to wait 15–30 minutes; I waited about 20-plus minutes before starting to feel it. It wasn't the sudden numb feeling, but a gradual slight drop in sensitivity while touch remained. It actually lasted about 3-plus hours, a bit longer than the regular version, and there was no point where I felt completely nothing.

I used it four or five more times afterward. Here are a few observations:

Onset time has little to do with eating—both on an empty stomach and after a meal it's 20–30 minutes, more consistent than the regular version. But spraying on an empty stomach gave me slight stomach discomfort, like drinking cold water; after a meal there was no issue.

On numbness, the Gen 2 is indeed milder than the regular version. The regular version leaves basically no sensation after spraying; the Gen 2 retains about 60–70% of touch—you can feel temperature and friction, just less sensitive. My partner also said it felt more natural than before and didn't seem like I was forcing it.

On duration, my sense is 3–4 hours, about 1 hour longer than the regular version. But after 4 hours it gradually fades rather than suddenly stopping.

Two drawbacks. First, the price: one bottle lasts about 8–10 uses, which works out to 30–40 yuan per use, double the regular version. Second, the nozzle design: it's hard to control the amount with two sprays; sometimes spraying too much makes it run, and you have to wipe it off or it feels too cold.

Comparing it with the other two I've used, a list makes it clearer:

If you're also looking at other brands, you can check my earlier posts Sejing delay spray comparison and 2h2d Black Gold Edition test, which include horizontal comparisons of several popular products.

On ingredients, I checked: the Gen 2 mainly uses plant extracts plus a low-concentration local anesthetic, though the exact ratio isn't labeled. The principle is to reduce local sensitivity without completely blocking nerve conduction, so touch is retained. Regular versions generally use high-concentration benzocaine, which numbs fast but numbs completely.

On usage, my experience is two sprays are enough; wait more than 20 minutes after spraying, and it's best to wash it off before starting, otherwise your partner will feel a cooling sensation on oral contact. Also, don't spray too much—more won't last longer, it'll just be more numb.

A few common questions:

Q: Do I need to wash after spraying? A: It's recommended; if you don't, residue affects your partner's experience, and washing doesn't affect efficacy.

Q: Can I use it every day? A: Not recommended; the skin needs recovery time, two or three times a week is more suitable.

Q: Can it be used with oral medication? A: Better not; topical plus oral may stack side effects, so space them a few hours apart.

Q: Where to spray? A: Near the coronal sulcus and frenulum; don't spray the urethral opening.

Q: How long until it works? A: My sense is 20–30 minutes; skin absorption varies, so for the first use try one spray first.

Also, if you want something stronger, you can look at Indian God Oil Zhanbo version; that one is more popular but the numbness is slightly stronger. There's also the Climax version, another series that's milder. This time I'm mainly writing about the Gen 2 new packaging; original imported Indian God Oil Gen 2 is the link I bought from, for reference.

Who it suits: people who want to prolong intimacy but don't want complete numbness, especially those who found regular versions too numb. Also suitable for occasional use by people not chasing the lowest price.

Who it doesn't suit: people on a tight budget chasing under ten yuan per use; people who want it to work immediately after spraying; people with particularly sensitive skin prone to allergies (test a small area first).

One last thing: these products are only auxiliary. Don't force yourself to rely on them when you're not in good shape—rest and exercise are fundamental.
