He’s one of the most divisive figures in health tech, but you’ve got to hand it to Bryan Johnson, he really looks like he knows what he’s doing. The biohacker has done it all in his quest to ‘live forever’, from jabbing himself with plasma injections from his son to having his frozen body flown 3,750 miles.
While anyone (who has the money) can spend $2 million a year to overhaul their life, you’ve got to admit that Johnson looks completely different to the way he did before. He’s sat down with the likes of UFC’s Dana White and Logan Paul, while he’s recently headlined Netflix’s Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever.

Still, his controversial methods continue to baffle the world, just like when he shared his son’s ‘erection data’ on social media. Yes, you read that right.
Even if Talmage Johnson doesn’t mind his dad letting the world know how many times a night he gets it up, others continue to question the biohacker’s methods.
Now, he’s encouraging men to check their own ‘Johnson’ in a bid for them to also hack their own body clock.
Over on his Project Blueprint site, Johnson explains how his quest to de-age his body involves regular penis checks. He starts by warning readers that if you aren’t having ‘robust boners’, you’re 70% more likely to die prematurely. Johnson also says that while there isn’t much data on women, they should also monitor their nocturnal arousal cycles.
Looking at the data, Johnson suggests that ‘healthy’ men in their twenties can experience over three hours of nighttime erections that occur in three to five erection episodes. It dips to less than 50 minutes for those over the age of 75.
Johnson claims that erection problems can show up as early as five years before heart disease, so it’s something to look out for.

He also says that men should abide by the motto of ‘use it or lose it’, suggesting that men should think of nighttime erections as a penis workout, and without ‘regular exercise’, scar tissue can develop. Erections are apparently important because they keep tissue healthy by bringing in oxygen-rich blood.
In terms of how he tests his penis health, the intensive regime involves semen analysis, urine and blood flow testing, examining prostate health, taking questionnaires about his sexual function, prioritizing ‘core health practices’ like sleep and exercise, and measuring his nighttime erections.
He then says you can get your AndroAge (erection health age) score by using the AdamHealth sensor. It might just be a plug to AdamHealth, but Johnson is clearly having an effect. The AdamHealth site currently has the following statement: “Due to overwhelming demand, the Adam Sensor is currently on a waiting list. All orders will ship within 7-8 weeks from the date of purchase.”
As for Johnson, he seems pretty happy with his nighttime erection data, boasting that he’s pitching a tent for around 3 hours and 14 minutes a night.
It’s honestly hard to react to being told that infamous biohacker Bryan Johnson has shared so-called ‘erection data’ from both him and his son, yet the internet as a collective remains subjected to this bizarre news.
Biohacker Bryan Johnson has made a name for himself on the internet for trying to ‘cheat death’ through some rather strange methods, as the millionaire former tech CEO now pays over $2,000,000 every single year in a quest to reverse the aging process.
Some don’t quite think this has exactly gone to plan as polls indicate that he might have actually looked better prior to starting the experiment he calls ‘Project Blueprint’ in 2021, although it has made him somewhat unrecognizable.
While he’s constantly tweaking his methods, including recently when he stopped taking one of his 54 daily supplements as it might have actually sped up the aging process, one method he shared recently on social media might be his strangest yet.
Nighttime erection data from my 19-year-old son, @talmagejohnson_, and me. His duration is two minutes longer than mine. Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.
It was revealed that both Johnson and his son track what he calls ‘nighttime erection data’, charting various stats like the number, duration, and quality of their ‘erection episodes’.
The exact health benefits of doing this aren’t exactly clear, but if you thought the simple act of sharing it was bizarre enough, Bryan went and made it weirder by directly comparing his own data to his son’s.
It’s revealed in the post on X that his son had one more erection and an overall erection duration of two minutes longer. However, not only did Bryan beat out his son’s average erection quality score by a whopping four points, he also had a significantly better sleep with an efficiency score of 131 compared to 112.
From this we can infer that having an increased number of erections for a longer period of time actively impacts your sleep, although some might wonder whether erection quality plays a part too.
I can say for sure that this is something I never wished to know about Bryan Johnson or his son (Instagram/bryanjohnson_)
Of course, the reaction across the internet is both hilarious and understandable, with many left in shock at why Johnson felt compelled to share this with us all.
“I guarantee you this sentence has never before been uttered in the English language,” jokes one user in the replies, whereas another outlines that “going meat for meat on the tl with ur teenage son is wild.”
Some have also questioned how exactly these stats are even measured, as there doesn’t exactly seem to be an Apple Watch setting for that, but I think we already know too much at this point.
Talmage – the son of infamous biohacker Bryan Johnson – has taken to social media after his father shared his ‘erection data’, and has expressed his ‘gratitude’ for the way he lives.
It’s only January and we might just have witnessed the strangest story of the year, as biohacker Bryan Johnson shared his son’s ‘erection data’ to social media, directly comparing it with his own to prove that he’s successfully ‘de-aged’ his penis.
While that’s certainly a hard sentence to take in at first glace, the results are difficult to deny: not only is Johnson senior’s ‘average erection quality’ higher than his son’s despite the 28-year age difference, he’s also achieved a significantly higher ‘sleep efficiency’ score which we can only assume is down to the erections in question.
This is all part of Johnson’s ‘Project Blueprint’, in which the former tech CEO is spending over $2,000,000 every single year to slow down the aging process and maybe even cheat death.
It didn’t take long for Johnson’s son Talmage to respond to the bizarre post on X either, and while most children would find this quite possibly the most embarrassing thing in existence, the 19-year-old has more than embraced it.
I’m grateful for the way my dad has raised me.
Nighttime erection data from my 19-year-old son, @talmagejohnson_, and me. His duration is two minutes longer than mine. Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.
Quoting his dad’s post, Talmage said the following: “I’m grateful for the way my dad has raised me.”
This is after Bryan used his son’s plasma in transfusions to begin the anti-aging project, granting him the affectionate name of ‘blood boy’ in the process.
Many have reacted in shock to this post, with some finding it impossible to avoid the painfully obvious double entendre of ‘raised’ when on the subject of erections.
One user remarks that this is “next level ‘parents embarrassing their children'”, whereas another adds that “idk how to tell you this but this is not normal or okay.”
It’s all part of Bryan Johnson’s plan to ‘de-age’ his penis, as he argues on the Project Blueprint website: “If you’re not having robust boners at night, you’re 70% more likely to die prematurely. If you’re grinding at the expense of your health, you’re flaccid.”

Johnson positions erections as the penis’ way of working out, and increasing how often you get hard can lead to a number of beneficial factors like healthy nerves, increased blood flow, high sleep quality, and balanced hormones.
He also claims to have an ‘AndroAge’ – otherwise known as your equivalent erection health age – of below 20-years-old despite being over double that, and it’s measured using a wide variety of scientific methods.
At the heart of it all though is the Adam Health sensor which is a bit like a Fitbit for your penis. The device fits around the appendage, and measure the number of erections, their ‘quality’, and their total duration – which Johnson reveals, for him, is as long as Titanic.
Talmage Johnson remarks in his Instagram bio that while he was born too late to explore Earth and too early to explore space, he was born “right on time for Don’t Die,” and he must feel lucky that the process involves sharing ‘boner biographies’ with his dad.
Bryan Johnson, the entrepreneur spending over $2 million a year to reverse ageing, looks almost unrecognisable compared to a few years ago.
The tech mogul recently posted side-by-side photos of himself from 2018, 2023 and 2024 on X (formerly Twitter) to showcase his dramatic physical transformation.
“Even my Face ID is confused. I’m transitioning…” he captioned in the post.
Even from just a brief glance at the photos, Bryan’s face has undeniably changed since 2018.
His face now appears slimmer, with a smooth, clear complexion, quite different from his fuller face in 2018.
The 47-year-old included a poll in his post, asking followers, “Tell me when I peaked,” allowing them to choose between the three years.
Reactions were mixed, with some claiming his recent look was ‘less human,’ and that his appearance in 2018 ‘looked more human than ever.’

Specifically, a few X users pointed out that Johnson’s ‘chubby face’ in his earlier days made him look healthier and younger.
On the other side of the internet, others think the life experiment is working really well for Johnson with comments reading: “Anyone saying you looked better before is lying” and “TRUST THE PROCESS”.
Another social media user chimed in: “That is incredibly impressive, definitely a story I’m following.”
Johnson’s biohacking journey is part of Project Blueprint, a program he launched early last year.
Participants pay $333 per month for a 90-day nutrition and self-experimentation program aimed at improving longevity and metabolic health.
One participant shared her positive outcomes after just 30 days, reporting major improvements in sleep quality, reduced body fat and improved overall fitness.
Even my Face ID is confused. I’m transitioning…
Under the guidance of a team of 30 doctors led by anti-ageing specialist Dr. Oliver Zolman, Johnson closely monitors his blood, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, and sexual health.
The biohacker speaks openly about his daily routine which involves taking 91 supplements, multiple meals, and an anti-ageing regimen – all before many of us have reached for our first sip of coffee.
The millionaire is openly vegan with his meals mainly made up of whole foods, with a period of intermittent fasting in the morning.
He reportedly sleeps in a cold, empty, blacked-out room on a temperature-controlled mattress.
With ‘no plans to die.,’ Johnson claims his biological age is about five years younger than his actual age.
Johnson was recently featured in the new documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever which is now available to watch on Netflix.
The name Bryan Johnson is a big one on the health scene, with the confessed ‘biohacker’ trying to live forever. While most of us can make simple changes like trying out the lunch Johnson swears by every day, few will be able to afford the $2 million he spends every year in an attempt to roll back his body clock.
There’s plenty of interest in his methods, with Norwegian rock climber Magnus Midtbø meeting the man himself to find out more. Midtbø hoped to try out Johnson’s techniques for himself and was shocked by learning how much he could potentially chip off his body’s age.
As Johnson has spent millions trying to live forever, Midtbø was curious to see if it actually works.
Saying he was ‘nervous’ to meet with Johnson, Midtbø headed to the biohacker’s house and was greeted with a shot of extra virgin olive oil. Most of us might’ve preferred a glass of champagne, but there we go.

Johnson explains how he takes 30 to 40 pills a day, also tucking into a breakfast that’s either a bowl of veggies or a ‘nutty pudding’. It’s all very intense, with Johnson reiterating: “Every calorie has had to fight for its life for inclusion, so there’s nothing in here that is superfluous or nice to have.
“It has to have a specific function in the body, and we have to measure that to verify it’s doing that thing right.”
In the video, Johnson says he spent $50,000 in the last month alone, just to test foods.
Midtbø was impressed by Johnson’s gym, especially the hyperbaric oxygen chamber that Johnson claims can increase your lifespan by a whopping 30%. As for the biohacker, his workout aims to help him achieve the fitness ability of an 18-year-old – despite him being 47.
Johnson says we need to focus on the key areas of sleep, exercising every day, being mindful of the Sun, being mindful of toxins, and partaking in therapies that have evidence behind them.
When pushed on whether the 122-year-old French woman who is officially the oldest person ever, he defiantly said, “Yes… I think that’s entirely a genetic lottery, that person likely did nothing.”
After conducting a series of physical tests like pushups and standing on one leg to see what Midtbø’s body age is, Johnson concluded he has the age of a 20-year-old. As he’s actually 36, it shows how fit he is as someone who’s ‘technically’ rated as 16 years younger than his actual age. We can only imagine what it would come out as if he tried it with some of Johnson’s methods.
Midtbø’s career as a rock climber obviously meant he was physically in better shape than a lot of people. Responding to the video, some were skeptical about whether Joking about the situation, one person joked: “How to slow aging: – Bryan – $2MM/year – Magnus: Chalk.”
Another chuckled: “This guy seems like the initial stages of a supervillain.”
Others are more open to Johnson’s work, with someone else concluding: “Honestly I’ve heard many people clown on Bryan for spending so much money on anti-aging but I feel like these kinds of rich people are the ones we need the most. The ones who actually try and publish invaluable data on subjects that are usually misconstrued or filled with faux information.”
