Here are some ...: If you've not had Hx of allergy to topical lidocaine, yes, you may use, try, and see since local anesthetic effect is temporary. Clinically, have you suffered from restless genital syndrome? This bothersome condition needs personal effort to cope chiefly with exercising mental diversion + quality healthy lifestyle with devotion because the cause for this entity is still unclear. Best wish...

Urges: Sexual "urges" have nothing to do with genital sensitivity. Numbing your penis won't change that.
