Age-reversal enthusiast and self-proclaimed science experiment, Bryan Johnson, is back in the headlines, and this time, it’s not about his intense health regimen or book tours.
The millionaire entrepreneur, known for his obsessive pursuit of eternal youth, shared data comparing his nighttime erections with those of his teenage son.
Yes, you read that right!
Father-Son Bonding, Redefined
On X (formerly Twitter), Johnson, 45, revealed his findings in what might be the world’s most awkward sleep study.
Comparing metrics like erection episodes, duration, and quality, he gleefully pointed out, “His duration is two minutes longer than mine.”
For context, his nighttime erections totaled 182 minutes, while his 19-year-old son, Talmage, clocked in at 184 minutes.
Because nothing says “good parenting” like a public post on your child’s biological functions, Johnson added, “Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.”
Talmage, playing along, thanked his father for his upbringing.
One can only wonder if the family dinners are as… data-driven.
“Wildest Engagement Bait Yet”
As expected, the internet had a field day. Users on X couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cringe.
“Wildest engagement bait yet — congrats,” one user quipped.
Others, ever curious, wondered how exactly this data was collected. (Spoiler: Johnson uses sensors for such metrics. Of course he does.)
In Johnson’s defense — or maybe not — he has previously explained his obsession with nighttime erections, calling them a “biological age marker” for sexual, cardiovascular, and psychological health.
Because, naturally, this is the universal benchmark for aging gracefully.
Health Guru or Walking Experiment?
Johnson’s eccentricity doesn’t stop there.
The millionaire spends millions annually on an elaborate age-reversal routine that would make even Benjamin Button jealous.
His daily regimen includes waking up at 4:30 a.m., consuming a precisely calculated plant-based diet, taking over 100 supplements, and engaging in highly specific exercises.
Add plasma transfusions from his son to that list, and you’ve got a futuristic science fiction novel — but real life.
Last year, Johnson stirred controversy during his India trip to promote his book Don’t Die.
Why? He carried a six-day supply of his own food, refusing to touch local cuisine.
Ironically, he’s now promoting Indian food on social media. Talk about a plot twist.
A Historical Echo of Bizarre Health Obsessions
Bryan Johnson’s relentless pursuit of youth echoes other outlandish health experiments in history.
In the early 20th century, physician Serge Voronoff gained notoriety for grafting monkey testicle tissue onto men to supposedly restore vitality.
While that idea was debunked (and thankfully abandoned), it’s a reminder that the quest for eternal youth has always bordered on the absurd.
Takeaway? Maybe Don’t
Bryan Johnson’s post might be his most, let’s say, “engaging” move yet.
But whether it sparks meaningful conversations about health or just leaves everyone scratching their heads, one thing’s for sure: he’s committed to staying young — and oversharing while at it.
If youth is a state of mind, perhaps some things are better left unmeasured.
