Bryan Johnson, a man who has dedicated himself to halting the aging process, has sparked controversy after sharing data about his son's erections.
If you aren't aware of Johnson, he is a multimillionaire biohacker who spends $2 million annually on his quest to reverse aging.
Johnson, 47, is well-known for his ambitious “Project Blueprint,” which he claims is helping him achieve the biological age of 18.
The Utah native first made his fortune after founding Braintree, a payment gateway company that was sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013.
Johnson personally pocketed an estimated $300 million from the deal. Since then, he has made himself his full-time project, claiming to be the “world’s most measured human.”
And let's just say he measures... everything.
Johnson recently shared data from an overnight erection-tracking machine used by both himself and his son.
The post, shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, included screenshots displaying detailed metrics such as the number of erections, average duration, quality, and overall sleep efficiency.
“His duration is two minutes longer than mine,” Johnson wrote in the post, adding the caption: “Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.”
Johnson’s post was met with a wave of backlash, with users expressing shock and disgust over the decision to share such personal information publicly.
One person wrote: "there’s still time to delete this king," and a second added: "I don’t even want to know how you measure this."
A third person said: "I guarantee you this sentence has never before been uttered in the english language."
While a fourth summed up how most of us are feeling by saying: "What the f*ck."
In a previous experiment, Johnson turned his focus to restoring a youthful appearance, particularly facial fat, which he said is critical to how people perceive youth.
“As Blueprint grew into a global movement, the scrutiny increased. Facial fat, we discovered, is pretty important for how people perceive youth. It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have face fat,” Johnson wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) profile.
This revelation prompted him to launch "Project Baby Face," aimed at restoring lost facial volume.
Johnson’s first approach involved injecting a fat-derived extracellular matrix to stimulate natural fat growth.
However, as he explained, his own body didn’t have enough fat for the procedure, so donor fat was used.
What followed was a terrifying ordeal. Johnson’s face began to swell dramatically after the injections, leading to blurred vision and an almost unrecognizable appearance.
“Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up,” Johnson wrote in his post, describing the severe allergic reaction that followed.
With a scheduled interview looming with Bloomberg journalist Ashlee Vance, Johnson alerted him to the situation.
“I called him and said, ‘Hey, so that you’re not alarmed, you may not recognize me today. I think I’m ok. I hope I’m ok. If I’m not ok, are you by chance trained to perform any life-saving actions?’”
Fortunately, Johnson’s facial swelling subsided after seven tense days, and he was able to return to normal.
