As I’ve discussed several times on this site, male enhancement pills can be divided up into 2 categories.

Category 1:  Involves pills that are designed to work over time.

You take them for several weeks / months, and over time the results gradually build up.

Vigrx Plus is a perfect example of this, and is actually the best overall pill I’ve ever tested.

The benefit to this is, while it’s a pain in the ass to have to take them everyday, once they kick in you can basically generate an erection “on-demand”.

Category 2:  Involves pills that are designed to work FAST. There’s no waiting around for it to kick in, you just take the pills when you’re planning on having sex (hence the name “sex pills“), and they start working immediately.

I’ve always preferred slow acting male enhancement pills to fast acting ones for a variety of reasons:

1.)  While they usually do work, they often give you a TON of side effects.

2.)  With fast acting enhancers, you have to remember to take them.  This usually eliminates spontaneous sexual encounters.

3.) Slow acting male enhancement pills tend to be cheaper on a per-pill basis.

With all of that said, there are a good percentage of guys out there that are simply looking for something they can take on an as-needed basis.

Here are the 4 best pills to get you hard fast that I’ve personally tested.

#1 – Extenze

Click Here to read my full review of Extenze. I’ve written about Extenze pretty extensively on this site.

I’ve probably been taking it on and off for the last 6 years, and it is by FAR one of the best fast acting male enhancement pills I’ve ever used.

Unlike Vigrx Plus, which can take several hours to kick in, Extenze starts working in about 30 minutes.

It can actually work even faster if you have a high metabolism or take it on an empty stomach.

The principle ingredients behind Extenze that make it work so quick are a combo of L-Arginine and Yohimbe, 2 ingredients that are found in a ton of other male enhancement pills that work fast.

Click Here for a snapshot of the Extenze Plus label.

The combination of L-Arginine and Yohimbe has actually been clinically studied and proven effective to help with erectile dysfunction issues. (Study 1, Study 2)

However, in most cases, some of these other supplements either put too little L-Arginine OR too much Yohimbe in their products.

The upside to this is that they work well.

The downside is, most often the side effects make it not even worth taking. This isn’t the case with Extenze.

Extenze uses just the right combination of L-Arginine and yohimbe to give you a smooth erection, without the unnecessary side effects.

I actually really like combining it with a substance called Phenibut, which you can read more about here.

Where can I buy it?

You can purchase Extenze online on their official website, www.BuyExtenze.com.

A 1-month supply retails for $49.95, but as I mention below, this can actually last you way longer if you’re not taking it every day (which I recommend you don’t).

You can save a bit of money if you decide to purchase a larger quantity.  For example, if you buy a 3-month supply, the total comes out to $124.95, which is a savings of $25.

If you opt for the 6-month supply, you’ll save $50.  The more you order, the more you’ll save.

One Quick Note

If you look on the label, or even on their official site, they say you need to take it once a day.

I’ve had literally 1,000’s of guys ask me about this, and the simple answer is no, you don’t have to take it everyday.

Can you take it everyday?

If you want a raging boner everyday, then yes, have at it.

But can you just take it when you need it. Yes, and as a matter of fact, I’ve noticed that it tends to build up a tolerance if you take it every day.

#2 – Hardon Helper

Hardon Helper is NO LONGER IN BUSINESS!

Click Here to read my review of Blue Chew, an effective erectile dysfunction tablet that is by FAR the best ED remedy on the market.

This supplement literally came out of nowhere.

You won’t find it in stores like GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, or even gas stations (at least not yet).

I was actually contacted by the guys over at Hardon Helper back in November of 2017.

They sent me an email asking if I would like to try out their product, so I said sure go ahead and send them over.

Keep in mind that I get a TON of these supplements sent to me, and in most cases I never get a chance to try it out.

In fact, it was sitting on one of my many big boxes of supplements for a couple of months.

One day I just said f#$k it and decided to take one of the pills.

What followed was one of the BEST erections I’ve had in years. The funny thing about Hardon Helper was, while it kicked in relatively quickly, it didn’t actually hit me until about 2 hours after I took it.

I happened to be in the gym doing a squat workout, when all of a sudden out of nowhere I got this massive erection.

When I say massive I mean MASSIVE erection.

It was the kind of erection that you get when you were in your 10th grade math class, and then the teacher asks you to come up to the board to solve the problem.

Yeah, that kind… 🙂

I actually had to do a sort of ninja-like tuck into my pants so noone in the gym would see it, it was that bad.

Then, on my way home from the gym it hit me again.

All I can say is, I rubbed one out as fast as I could when I got home, and it was one of the most pleasurable experiences I’ve had in a long time.

So What’s In Hardon Helper That Makes It So Effective?

Click Here for a snapshot of the label.

This is actually one of the most unique formulas I’ve ever come across in a sex pill like this.

Usually pills contain a blend of the usual ingredients:  L-Arginine, yohimbe, some type of ginseng (usually Panax ginseng), and usually some Fenugreek.

This formula is almost COMPLETELY comprised of ingredients I’ve never actually seen before.

One of the best things about Hardon Helper is that you can take it with alcohol.

Most of us know how bad alcohol can impact your sex drive, and I’ve tested probably close to 2 dozen pills that say you can take them with booze.

However, the vast majority of them simply do not work.

I took 1 capsule of Hardon Helper on an especially drunken night, and it helped me to perform for at LEAST an hour.

It’s relatively cheap, considering how well it works, and how expensive drugs like Viagra can be.

#3 Rhino 7

Click Here to read my full review of Rhino 7.

You can find a wide variety of products with the Rhino name in them.

You have Rhino 69, Purple Rhino, Rhino 51, and a TON of others. Rhino 7 is a product that I tested out a few years back, and I can tell you from experience that it’s definitely one of the fastest male enhancers on the market.

One thing I did notice when I took it was, it felt suspiciously like I took a Viagra pill.

Why do I say this?

Well, because I indeed got a great erection and improved libido.

HOWEVER, I also got had a ridiculously bad headache, felt like I had a cold, and got this weird tingly feeling throughout my body.

Do you want to know why this was the case?

Well, it turns out that nearly ALL of the Rhino products contain a hidden ingredient called Sildenafil. (Source)

Do you know what the active ingredient in Viagra is?

That’s right, Sildenafil. (Source)

And do you know what the chief side effects of Viagra are?

That’s right:  flushing, headaches, and runny or stuffy nose. (Source)

You can find Rhino 7 in gas stations, as well as online, but the FDA released a voluntary recall of the product after it was found to contain sildenafil.

Is it worth taking it?

That really depends on your individual body chemistry.

If you have heart or blood pressure issues, it can be VERY dangerous to take drugs like Sildenafil. (Source)

Check with your doctor if you’re unsure.

Where can I buy Rhino 7?

Despite the FDA warning, I’ve seen ALL of  the Rhino brands for sale in gas stations.

I’ve seen it in Shell, Exxon, BP, Chevron, Flying J, Marathon, Pilot, Sunoco, and Getty.

However, you will not find it in the big chain stores like Walmart, so don’t even bother looking there.

You can also find it on Amazon, where it’s literally sold for a penny.

Of course, you will pay a much higher price for shipping, but it’s still cheaper than Hardon Helper.

In my humble opinion though, Hardon Helper is WAY better.

#4 72 HP

Click Here to read my full review of 72HP. This is another fast acting natural ed pill, that REALLY is all natural unlike Rhino 7. Unlike Extenze, we don’t really know what the ingredients are in this supplement. The label says it contains:

• Korean Ginseng
• Tribulus Terrestris
• Cinnamon bark powder
• Ginkgo Biloba
• Proprietary blend

The “proprietary blend” is just that, proprietary.

That means we don’t know what’s in it. However, I can tell you from experience that it really does work, and it REALLY is all natural.

I know this because I can tell when a supplement contains a synthetic ingredient like Tadalfil or Sildenafil.

Just like with Hardon Helper, it seems to take a bit longer to fully kick in.

The label says to take 1 capsule 30 minutes prior to sex, but to be on the safe side I would recommend you take it AT LEAST 2 hours before, if not longer.

It still works WAY faster than slow acting supplements like Virectin and Anaconda XL, and better than them as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are any of these sold in stores?

Some, like Rhino 7 and Extenze, are sold in stores like Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS.

What would be the best pill to buy at a store?

In my personal experience, the best one in stores would be Extenze Plus.

Will any of these increase my penis size?

They may temporarily help to increase your erect state, but they are in NO way permanent enlargement pills.

Click Here to find out why there’s no such thing as a “permanent enlargement pill”.

If these won’t increase my size, what will?

Extenders or pumps.  I talk about how they work in this article here.

Will any of these “cure” ED?

No. They may help alleviate some of the symptoms, but they will not cure erectile dysfunction.

The only way to really “cure” ed is to identify the root causes. (Source)

Do you smoke?  Do you have an unhealthy diet?  Are you taking any medications?

These are just some of the questions that need to be answered to diagnose the cause of your ED.

Recommendation

Like I said earlier in this article, I prefer the slow acting ED pills to the fast ones.

They overall tend to work better, there’s less of a chance of side effects, and they also tend to be cheaper.

I don’t personally mind adding to my daily supplement regiment and sticking to taking another pill daily for an extended period of time.

To me it is worth avoiding some of the negative side effects that I will do just about anything to avoid.

But some guys can’t stand the thought of taking a pill every day, and I have to admit I can’t blame them.

If you’ve been looking for something to help you get your boners back when you’re drinking alcohol, I would recommend giving one of these a try.

You’ll be glad you did. If you have any questions on this, or need a recommendation, just leave a comment below!
