Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic which acts locally on the skin by altering permeation through sodium- potassium channels. Putting it on sperms will decrease their motility and might even cause them to lose their viability. No such studies have been done.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
