I am gay. Bottom by preference. I have been recommended lox 2% jelly for use before anal sex. I would like to know more about the lox 2% jelly- how safe it is? Within how much time does it show the numbness effect? And for how long should the effect remain? Anything to be cautious about? The package says it is just for one time use. But the quantity is for multiple use. So should I use it again after my first use for buy another one for next time.

Lox -2% jelly works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases the sensation of pain. Lidocaine belongs to a class of medications called as local anesthetics. It works by stopping the sensation of pain by acting on peripheral nerves in the body.Lox -2% jelly is used for piles, local anaesthesia and mouth sores. It is not meant for anal sex
