The Incubus-Adonis Herb from Africa

Yohimbine is a fat-burning Nutraceutical with a dark side that is worth the attention of those seeking to sculpt themselves into an Adonis or those intent on reincarnating a tribal African chief’s libido.

Although I would not recommend this potent performance enhancer to everyone, there are a couple of specific use cases for which it’s quite good, which this article will explain.

This article will mostly focus on decoding what the human studies are saying about Yohimbine and how this squares up with the anecdotal experiences of Biohackers online.

History

Yohimbine vs Yohimbe

Yohimbine is a supplement derived from the bark of the Corynanthe Yohimbe West African tree, which no doubt was infamous among African medicine men since time immemorial as an aphrodisiac (Afro-disiac?) Proto-Viagra.

Scientific Research

It has 100 human clinical trials conducted since the turn of the millennium, even though it’s of African origin, the majority of the good science was done in the United States and other Western countries.

Unleashing Your Inner Incubus

When I was a young dude chasing skirts in Denver almost every night, one of my friends started dating a real-life witch. No, she did not ride a broomstick or sacrifice cats, but she did cast various spells and perform rituals with candles and pentagrams. Even though I don’t really believe in that sort of thing, I asked her one time...

Is there a special spell you could cast that would result in me having some kind of intensely pleasurable sexual experience?

She responded that she was willing to cast just such a spell that would give me the kind of peak sexual experience I was curious about, but there would be a major downside...

If, after enjoying a metaphysically potent sexual romp, I betrayed the spirit of the spell by disregarding or disrespecting whoever I slept with, I would have a steep cost to pay in bad karma or rotten luck.

I’m not very superstitious, but my sex life was not bad at the time, so I decided not to take the chance that her magic might backfire.

Upon reading or listening to numerous guys’ anecdotal accounts of Yohimbine, I got the eerie impression that it’s similarly a high-reward, high-risk hack for peak sexual hedonism...

* It enhances the sexual sensations and intensity of orgasms, quite a bit for some guys, sometimes.

* Men anecdotally report that it makes them very horny and aggressive. I would only use it if I was sure I was going to have sex. It might not be a good supplement for guys who are really committed to no fapping.

* It might cause premature ejaculation, so make sure to practice those Kegels!

* It takes effect pretty quickly, and you would want to take it within about two hours of having sex, so perhaps add a bit of Yohimbine to your date night stack.

* Although this clever dude advises using it for morning sex because it is a stimulant that will disrupt your sleep if taken within a few hours of bed.

It’s also worth the attention of guys who want to treat erectile dysfunction. A meta-analysis of 7 Yohimbine studies out of a prestigious university concluded:

The benefit of yohimbine medication for erectile dysfunction seems to outweigh its risks. Therefore, yohimbine is believed to be a reasonable therapeutic option for erectile dysfunction that should be considered as initial pharmacological intervention.

According to another study of 18 American men struggling with erectile dysfunction, it increased penile girth. So it makes your penis just slightly girthier (which is a word according to urbandictionary.com!) Yohimbine might just make your boners great again!

A Powerful Fat Burner

Its most notable effect is fat loss, although I’m not sure if the scientific research supports the notion of the average chubby couch potato using Yohimbine to lose weight.

One of the more notable human studies was conducted with 20 soccer players in Serbia. They gave 10 milligrams to the athletes twice a day. The study concluded

The results of the current study indicate that supplementation with yohimbine combined with resistance training does not significantly alter the body mass, muscle mass, or performance indicators in professional soccer players. Nonetheless, yohimbine supplementation appears to be suitable as a fat loss strategy in elite athletes.

Yohimbine has a novel mechanism that burns stubborn fat in areas of the body that are usually hard to lose weight. Perhaps you’ve been exerting herculean efforts in the gym for years or months, but frustratingly, you have some determined-to-stay fat on your lower stomach that prevents you from developing a sexy six-pack. Yohimbine might help!

Anecdotally, pretty close to 100% of the users are reporting that it worked as advertised for weight loss combined with serious exercise. If you’re willing to do work to lose weight, Yohimbine will help.

A Fasting “Cofactor”

It only works if you use it while fasting - if you are eating within a few hours of dosing Yohimbine, it won’t burn any of your fat. You would want to use Yohimbine in combination with...

Intermittent fasting - Spending 14-16 hours a day NOT eating or snacking. Often means eating a late dinner, skipping breakfast, and eating a late lunch.OrA 24-hour fast - Easiest when done between lunch and the next day’s lunch.

I would NOT use it during a two or three-day fast, as it is very stimulating, during a multiple-day fast you don’t want to be really stimulated and burning a lot of calories.This excellent interview explains why fasting is crucial to a holistic biohacker’s lifestyle and long-term health.

Appetite Suppressant

Some animal studies suggest that it eradicates appetite, which may make it doubly effective as a weight-loss measure. There’s no good human research on this, though.

Pre-Workout

It’s used by bodybuilders as a pre-workout supplement because many find it extremely stimulating...

Sleep

An older Canadian study found that 10 milligrams of Yohimbine supplementation by women did not affect their sleep hormone levels. However, several of the anecdotal accounts advise against using it before sleep, as it may keep you up. I used it myself several times in the early evenings before a gym session and lower doses
