'AROUSING TOPIC:' Tech mogul wears penis device that counts his erections

Article content

A tech mogul and biohacker who spends millions of dollars trying to age backwards has honed in on another body issue.

Biohacker Bryan Johnson, 46, has been on a pursuit of eternal youth ever since he became overweight, depressed and nearly suicidal due to stress and working long hours.

He eventually sold his company for $800 million when he was in his 30s and has since spent more than $4 million developing Blueprint, a life-extension system in which a team of doctors uses data to come up with a strict health regimen to reduce Johnson’s “biological age,” Time magazine reported.

His goal isn’t necessarily to live forever but rather, not to die, and in an effort to achieve that, you name it, Johnson’s done it, whether it’s swapping blood with his father and teenage son, taking 111 pills a day or collecting his own stool samples.

Johnson’s latest obsession is about his, well, Johnson.

Part of his $2-million US regime includes wearing a small device on his penis to monitor his nighttime erections.

The tracker resembles an AirPods case with a turquoise strap, so imagine a penis wearing a little purse.

“I have, on average, two hours and 12 minutes each night of erection of a certain quality,” he told the publication.

“To be age 18, it would be three hours and 30 minutes.”

He calls nighttime erections “a biological age marker for your sexual function,” one that could also predict other health results like cardiovascular fitness.

Last month he tweeted about getting his penis rejuvenation, which he called “an arousing topic.”

(More of a dad joke than one from a teen, but we digress.)

He went on to describe what “rejuvenating Johnson’s Johnson” would entail from his penis getting injected, the measuring of his penile artery along with ejaculation volume, maximum urination speed, sperm motility and a penis plaque check.

Johnson also measured his erection hardness score (EHS), a self-scored measure approved by the American Urological Association that helps patients measure erectile stiffness.

Scores range from 1 to 4, with 4 being fully hard; Johnson scored a 4.

That said, Johnson admitted his lifestyle makes it very difficult for him to date, rattling off what he calls the “10 reasons why [women] will literally hate me.”

The list includes: eating dinner at 11:30 a.m., no sunny vacations, bed at 8:30 p.m., no small talk, always sleeping alone, and, of course, “they’re not my number one priority.”

Johnson called anything that accelerates aging, whether it’s eating a cookie or getting less than eight hours of sleep, an “act of violence.”
