Surprisingly, yes. Throat numbing sprays are a fantastic option for those with a partner who's a bit more endowed, or who have a sensitive gag reflex. What makes these sprays work is Benzocaine, a numbing agent (if you've ever looked at male delay creams or sprays, it's the same ingredient used in those), but don't worry, almost all throat numbing sprays are flavored, so they don't taste like medicine!
