Biohacker Bryan Johnson has claimed he has managed to age his penis by fifteen years thanks to his controversial anti-aging methods, including using electric shock therapy to ‘rejuvenate’ his genitals.
Johnson, 46, has raised some eyebrows after sharing his quest for eternal life — which includes swapping blood with his father and his teenage son — and he made it very clear that he means he wants every part of him to last longer to work.
As well as focusing on his physical health, the millionaire reveals he also wears a device on his penis to measure nighttime erections – which he says is indicative of how his health is improving.
“Everyone should know these three things:[how much]you weigh, how quickly you age, and the duration of your nighttime erections,” the health junkie told podcast host Steven Barnett when appearing on an episode of A CEO’s dairy.

He told podcast host Steven Bartlett that his treatments included using electric shock therapy to ‘rejuvenate’ the penis
According to the biohacker – whose goal is to achieve the overnight erection duration of an 18-year-old – the data is “really important” because it represents overall health.
“These data are very important because they represent psychological health and sexual health,” Johnson explained.
This measure of sexual function, he explained on the podcast, could help predict other health outcomes, such as cardiovascular fitness.
“Cardiovascular health (for people who aren’t familiar with it) you can go to the gym and build big biceps or whatever, but people don’t know that nighttime erections are actually a meaningful health indicator,” the father of three said.
Among other therapies he uses to reverse his age, Johnson explained that he uses targeted shockwave therapy to improve the duration of his erection while he sleeps.
“So there’s this technology: you have a magic wand and you sit in a chair and then the technician uses the magic wand and basically shocks your penis through the acoustic technology,” the entrepreneur said.
He compared the unusual method to healing a torn ligament or injured joint.
“You cause micro-injuries so it builds back up,” he said. “And so this whole-body technology is used if you’re trying to heal an ACL or if you’re trying to rejuvenate the knees (or) the joints and shoulders.”
He continued: ‘So it’s a technology with a wide range of applications, it’s also used for erectile dysfunction.’
Johnson told Bartlett that everyone “should know these three things: (how much) you weigh, how fast you age, and the duration of your nighttime erections.”

In August, Johnson tweeted this image as an update on his progress since he started wearing a small device on his penis and doing shockwave therapy. His goal is to have a penis age of 18 years
The millionaire has previously given insight into his meticulous morning routine, which involves waking up between 4:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. and spending time in front of a UV light
“I don’t have sexual dysfunction,” he continued. “I score perfectly in every category, (but) we were wondering if you use this therapy as a focus on shockwave therapy and if it will actually rejuvenate the penis and increase nighttime erections.”
Johnson says he is “shocked” by the results so far.
‘I’m two now months in (and) my subjective experience is that it is as if my penis has become fifteen years younger,” he claimed. ‘So we are still in the early stages, we still have to measure whether we need data before we subjectively believe something.’
He then showed Bartlett the device he’s using, which looks like a square AirPod case with an elastic band on it.
He explained that he put it around the base of his penis and assured Bartlett that once he falls asleep, he won’t feel it anymore.
“Throughout the night when you get an erection, the expansion of your penis is recorded by that device and it will show how many erections you’ve had, for how long and with what strength,” he explained.
In August, Johnson shared an update on his penis rejuvenation program, revealing that he had managed to achieve several of his goals: perfect erectile function and a perfect “erection hardness score.”
At the time, he noted that his nighttime erections were comparable to those of a 49-year-old, and explained that he was aiming to reach a penile age of 18.

A team of more than thirty doctors routinely measures Bryan’s blood, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, blood vessels and sexual health
His quest for youth began in 2020 and has since spent an estimated $6 million.
His regimen, which costs about $2 million a year, includes swapping blood with his father and teenage son, guzzling 80 vitamins and minerals a day and eating 30 pounds of pureed vegetables a month.
Johnson has made millions from his online payments platform Braintree, which generated nearly $5 million in revenue in just three years.
In 2012, profits soared with Braintree’s $26 million acquisition of Venmo, and the following year it was bought by PayPal for $800 million.
He has since developed a company focused on improving the quality and access to high-tech brain scans intended to detect impending diseases early, bringing him a mountain of revenue to spend on his health efforts, such as devices to measure nocturnal erections and a blood plasma exchange. with his teenage son.
A team of more than thirty doctors routinely measures his blood, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, blood vessels and sexual health.
He claims he now has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the fitness of an 18-year-old.
