Pomegranate juice is extremely healthy and tasty. Pomegranate juice is sweet with a slightly tart bite. Although Pomegranate juice is available widely in stores under the name brand POM, some of us enjoy making our own pomegranate juice.
(Pictured below: Kale Pomegranate Juice.)
When I said that pomegranate is nature’s Viagra, some were skeptical. A recent case history shows that pomegranate is such a potent “male enhancement” juice that washing down a Viagra with a glass my testosterone boosting kale-pomegranate juice can lead to undesired results:
Sildenafil, the active ingredient in the erection enhancer Viagra, is more effective when combined with pomegranate. But sometimes the combination works a little too well, say doctors at the Sri Gokulam Hospitals and Research Institute in Tamil Nadu, India. They describe in Urology Annals cases of three men for whom the combination of Viagra and pomegranate led to an almost permanent erection.
The 46-year-old had taken 50 mg Viagra every other day, which gave him an erection that allowed him to have sex. His erection disappeared almost immediately after orgasm, so an herbalist had advised him to drink 200 ml pomegranate juice every day. As a result of the combination it took a quarter of an hour for his erection to disappear.
Now that you have an – ahem – incentive to juice pomegranate, here’s what to do.
How to Open a Pomegranate
- Cut the tops off of the pomegranate
- Score the pomegranate
- Pull the quarters of the pomegranate apart
- Separate the seeds from the pith and put the seeds in a bowl
How to Juice a Pomegranate
Since I use an Omega J8006, I throw the pomegranate – seeds and pith – into the juicer. The Omega juicer separates the juice from the pomegranate seeds and spits the pulp and pith out of the other end.
If you use a centrifugal juicer like a Breville or a Hamilton Big Mouth Juice Extractor, you can throw in an entire pomegranate. Just be sure to wash the outside of the pomegranate thoroughly. If you don’t like the taste of the red “peel,” then take a nice to cut the red peel off and throw in the pith and juice.
Don’t have a juicer? Read my juicing buying guides: Buying the Best Juicer and Buying Your First Juicer.
I purchased my girlfriend an Omega 8006 for Christmas. Right afterward I saw your article on pomegranates being nature’s Viagra and had to try it out.
We purchased two pomegranates. I laboriously dissected them, then ran the seeds through the juicer, which created enough juice for both of us.
After consuming girlfriend decided to clean up and do dishes. I was chilling out, when all of the sudden I had an urge to go see her. She was suffering from a UTI, thus we hadn’t been intimate for a few days.
I’m usually aggressive but this time I forcefully stopped her from doing the dishes and worked my fingers until she had a quivering orgasm. This took less than two minutes, which if any fella knows is quite remarkable. We didn’t even kiss, and she was fully clothed.
She then took me to the bed and did her thing. I’m not trying to be graphic here but I had the biggest erection of my life. After orgasming, I was ready to go again. I’m 33 years old, thus I unfortunately experience ever-increasing refractory periods. Not this night.
Fellas and ladies, my post above is no exaggeration. Ive been out of town for a few weeks, but my girlfriend has confirmed that pomegranates will be waiting upon my return. The stuff is magic.
That being said I would refrain from drinking the commercial stuff and juice your own to ensure efficacy. Apparently pomegranate juice is high up on the list of foods that are watered down:

Haha. Awesome story!
And here’s an alternative to seeding a pomegranate. Apparently you can seed one in 60 seconds.

Cool, thanks!
After your last homage to the pomegranate, I bought some of the concentrated stuff. It was solid, but not nearly as tasty as the real thing. But if you don’t feel like laboring over the fruit, the concentrate isn’t a bad alternative. A few tablespoons in the finished juice definitely adds noticeable flavor.
Bottled Pom tastes totally different, too.
This is ridiculously on point.
I’m a 30 year old guy and have had problems with getting/staying hard for probably 8 years. I’ve been juicing for about a year, heavy on the green veggies. Over the last 4-5 days, I’ve been having a glass of pomegranate juice once or twice a day along with one pill of Maca. Nothing happened for the first few days.
On day 3, though, things reallllly changed. I started feeling a ‘buzzing’ sensation down there, getting hard really easily during the day (even when drinking booze, once previously impossible), and going to bed & waking up hard (or at least easily able to). Sex drive is through the roof. I’m able to bust and still be ready to go in 5 minutes (last night, I didn’t even have to wait!).
This is THE only change I’ve made to my regimen. I am SO thankful for this.
As a side note, I used all kinds of different pomegranate juices. A few days, I juiced a few pomegranates. The other days, I couldn’t find pomegranates at my market so I just used either Pom brand juice or another brand of organic pomegranate juice. They are all working amazing.
Awesome man, love hearing stories like this.
As a side note, in lieu of get a prescription for Viagra or Cialis, I just used a simple herbal supplement, Maca. It’s a root from the Andes Mountains in Peru. Peruvian men have been taking maca for centuries for its energy, mood, and erection benefits. Some people will say that it’s herbal and is not guaranteed to work. What I can say is this, if I’m now able to get one ‘on demand’ and my two guy roommates are now able to have marathon sessions just hours after taking it, I’d say it’s damn effective.
It should work just fine in place of any sildenafil-like pill. You can get it at Whole Foods or GNC very easily. I just take 2 a day on a regular basis. It takes a few days to build up in your system.
