Not all fast working male enhancement pills are the real deal, nor were they all created equal. Most of the time, the ones that are called “male enhancement pills” are proprietary blends that don’t actually work.

I’ve tested Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and a long list of natural male enhancement herbs over the past decade, and I’m going to tell you which ones work in this guide.

When you take the right male enhancement pills and herbs, you’re going to have an exhilarating time in bed.

What benefits can you expect?

Those are some of the main benefits I’ve experienced over the years.

In this guide, I’ll share my top 5 fast working male enhancement pills, tips on how to take them/dosages for the best effect, and which brands to avoid before a recap at the end.

Top 5 Fast Working Male Enhancement Pills

Are you ready to get started?

#1 Horny Goat Weed

I know what you’re thinking right now, I’ve heard of horny goat weed. I bet you have, and I bet you’ve even tried it.

Here’s the problem, horny goat weed doesn’t work unless you take a large enough dose. The amount in proprietary blends won’t get the job done. On top of that, your body has to get used to it before it’ll work.

The first two times I took it back in 2015, it didn’t work. Then the third time, BAM! It was on! I was horny and couldn’t function without having sex for the next 48 hours. Ever since then, I’ve taken it with success, and I only take it when I know I’m going to have sex.

The Benefits of Horny Goat Weed

• It’s the most powerful herbal libido booster
• Shorter refractory period
• It starts working in as little as 30 minutes
• Increased sensitivity
• Better sexual performance

Where to Buy It and Dosage Guide

I prefer to take two “00” capsules (about 1-2 grams) at least 30 minutes before I have sex. If I’m spending a couple of days with a girl, I may take it every 12 hours for a longer-lasting effect.

Another option to buy it:

• iHerb (Capsules)

#2 Longjack (Tongkat Ali)

Tongkat Ali is some seriously powerful stuff, and the most powerful of the fast working male enhancement pills to increase overall virility and erection quality. The best part about this stuff is you don’t have to wait months for it to work.

Tip: Be careful when you come across male enhancement pills that say they take up to 8 weeks to start working. This is the company’s excuse for selling a bunk product.

All the pills on this list started working for me in under one week. In the case of Tongkat Ali, it started working for me the first time I took it. I felt the herb go to work in under an hour.

Tongkat Ali Benefits

• More aggressive in the bedroom (testosterone boost)
• Harder, fuller erections
• A natural increase in penis size
• More ejaculatory control, no premature ejaculation
• A libido spike
• Increased sensitivity
• It kicks in fast

Where to Buy Longjack and Dosage Guide

I take 2-3 “00” capsules of Tongkat Ali at least one hour before sexual intercourse. I’ve found that I can take it every 8-12 hours in a 48-hour period for maximum results.

Tip: I recommend cycling all male enhancement pills to avoid building up a tolerance to each herb. I never take any herb for more than 5-7 days straight.

Tongkat Ali is one of the only herbs that you must take in an extract. In my experience, the 200:1 and 100:1 ratio both work.

A second option:

• iHerb (Capsules)

Be careful because this stuff is really bitter. You definitely need to make your own capsules or go through the iHerb link above for capsules.

#3 Damiana

If Longjack is Michael Jordan, Damiana is Scottie Pippen. Damiana is one of my favorite natural male enhancement herbs because it’s reliable and gets the job done. When I’m cycling herbs, I always get excited when it’s Damiana’s turn at the plate.

One of the best tips I can give you is to avoid proprietary blends because they not only don’t get the job done due to small doses of each ingredient, they also allow your body to build up tolerances to each ingredient.

You can easily cycle all five of the fast-working male enhancement pills on this list and avoid building a tolerance to all five of them.

Damiana Benefits

• Easier to get and maintain an erection
• More enthusiasm between the sheets
• Shorter refractory period
• More energy
• Improved mood and focus
• Harder erections

Where to Buy Damiana and Dosage Guide

Damiana kicks in fast for me. About thirty minutes after taking it, my desire to mate spikes, and I’m running through my contact list to schedule a date. The hike in enthusiasm to obtain my target almost always leads to success.

That’s why I mentioned how much I like to take this herb.

I take 2-3 “00” capsules. To sustain the effect, I pop 1 additional “00” capsule every 4 hours. That makes for extra pleasure in the bedroom.

You can also make Damiana tea if you want it to kick in even faster!

#4 Ashwagandha

Another great male enhancement herb that starts working fast you may not have heard of is ashwagandha. This herb is another staple in my herbal libido booster cycle regimen because it consistently gets the job done.

Ashwagandha is great because it relaxes me, yet it enhances my performance in the bedroom.

The Benefits of Ashwagandha

• Last Longer
• Eliminates performance anxiety
• More calmness
• Better erection quality

Where to Buy Ashwagandha and Dosage Guide

I take 2-3 “00” capsules of ashwagandha, and it lasts for a full 12-24 hours. I found that I can take it for 3-4 days straight without it losing effectiveness.

Here are additional options:

• iHerb (Capsules)
• iHerb (Powder)

#5 Eleuthero Root (Siberian Ginseng)

Last but certainly not least is eleuthero root or Siberian ginseng. This is my favorite ginseng in the male enhancement department. Other forms of ginseng may give you more energy while eleuthero does a better job of improving your sexual performance.

The Benefits of Eleuthero Root

• Stamina Boost
• Libido Boost
• Mental Clarity
• Stronger, harder erections
• Mixes well with Horny Goat Weed

Where to Buy Eleuthero and Dosage Guide

I like to take eleuthero alone, or if I have enough herbs in my stash to keep my cycle going, I’ll stack it with horny goat weed.

By itself: I take 3 “00” capsules, and it starts working in under an hour.

With horny goat weed: I take 2 “00” capsules of each herb together.

Bonus Tips

• I like to take all of these natural male enhancement herbs with a strong cup of gunpowder green tea to get them to start working even faster. Doing this launches me into beast mode.
• Be sure to eat at least one meal before you take them to avoid upsetting your stomach.
• I get the best results when I take them on an empty stomach.
• Experiment with the dosages to get the best effect
• I take this zinc supplement to ensure I don’t get low on zinc when having a lot of sex. It also helps me sustain my performance, and it complements the herbs quite well.
• Green tea, zinc, and herbal libido boosters = beast mode

Male Enhancement Pills to Avoid

As I mentioned twice already, it’s best to avoid proprietary or “complex” blends, and almost all pills marketed as “male enhancement pills” are proprietary blends.

What happens is these companies use clever marketing tactics to sell their products. They go a step further by pitching a long list of benefits.

Here’s what they don’t tell you: they’re not giving you adequate doses of each ingredient to achieve those benefits. Plus, you end up building up tolerances, and it takes a long time to reverse a tolerance.

Here are the popular brands to avoid that you may have seen:

• Max Performer – This product is a perfect example of a proprietary blend with great ingredients and poor execution. A lot of these brands use Bioperine as a filler to “enhance the bioavailability” of the blend. You’re better off buying it separately because you end up paying a lot of money for a cheap ingredient that’s just taking up space.
• VigRX
• Male Extra
• Extenze

I noticed that several of these blends use cordyceps, which is my #1 supplement for male enhancement, but cordyceps is best taken on its own and in larger doses than the pills above offer.

Also, since you’re looking for fast-working male enhancement pills, cordyceps is not a good choice because it takes several hours to kick in. I’ve taken it for 7 years and have had it not kick in until the next day on a handful of occasions.

Be aware that companies and sites promoting these blends are just in it for the money, and they have excellent marketing strategies. I bet the owners of the sites promoting those products have never tried the products they promote.

I’ve taken all of the herbs I listed here with much success over the years.

That’s the difference.

Final Word

All of the male enhancement herbs above cost less than complex and proprietary blends you’ll find elsewhere.

You want to cycle these herbs to avoid tolerances. You need to get adequate doses to get the full effect.

By investing in a bag of powder, a capsule machine, and capsules, you get more room to experiment to find the perfect dose.

I’ve been taking these herbs for years without any negative side effects. The only downer is when I run out of an herb, and I can’t restock my stash while I’m out of the country, because they make life a lot more fun.
