Anti-aging fanatic Bryan Johnson is facing fierce backlash over his “weird” and “gross” post exposing data tracking his teenage son’s nighttime erections.
On Wednesday, the 47-year-old tech mogul posted screenshots showing data from an overnight erection-tracking machine for both himself and his 19-year-old son, Talmage.
The data he posted included the number of erections, average duration, average quality and overall sleep efficiency.
“His duration is two minutes longer than mine,” Johnson wrote in the post on X.
“Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.”
Public reaction to Johnson’s nocturnal admissions ranged from shock to disgust.
“For the love of God, why would you post this on the internet publicly? I feel bad for your son,” one user wrote on X.
“I have a feeling this won’t even crack the top 10 most disturbing chapters in your son’s inevitable autobiography,” another user wrote.
Johnson was urged to delete the post.
“Still time to delete this buddy,” one user said.
Another sarcastically quipped: “Don’t listen to the haters Bryan. Knowing the details of your son’s erections is perfectly normal, and, quite frankly, it would be weirder if you didn’t post about it.”
The controversial anti-aging extremist made his fortune after selling his payment processing company Braintree Payment Solutions to eBay for $800 million.
He has since devoted himself to an obsessive daily routine – spending $2 million annually on a regimen he claimed slows down the aging process so he only ages eight months every year.
The extensive daily ritual includes a 5 a.m. wakeup, one-hour exercise regime and four to five hours of “concentrated thought,” as well as more than 100 supplements, a vegan diet, blood transfusions and daily health tests.
Then at night, Johnson hooks himself up to a machine that tracks his nighttime erections.
Along with enlisting his son into using the erection-tracking machine, Johnson also reportedly turned his son into his “blood boy” when he was just 17.
In 2023, at a clinic near Dallas, Talmage reportedly provided a liter of his own blood in a plasma-swapping treatment for his father and 70-year-old grandfather, Richard, in an attempt to keep them looking young, according to Bloomberg.
