As part of his ongoing efforts in promoting longevity, Bryan Johnson has recently introduced an innovative approach by offering Botox injections for erectile enhancement.
Bryan Johnson, a billionaire biohacker, recently made headlines when he took to Twitter to share his experience of injecting Botox into his penis. This unconventional choice led to some unexpected and amusing situations.
Johnson reported a one-centimeter growth in his penis after the Botox injection. Additionally, he claims that the injection has improved factors such as erection hardness, peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, and sexual health satisfaction.
Johnson stated that this unconventional approach was conducted as part of a rigorous study involving 70 patients with erectile dysfunction who did not experience positive outcomes from standard treatments like PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra. The study was described as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled prospective comparative study.
Within a few hours, Johnson's report received an overwhelming response, accumulating over 500 comments, 800 retweets, and 900 bookmarks.
"My penile function is optimal (EHS 4/4 and IIEF 25/25),” Johnson said, citing metrics he'd previously established for that particular part of his anatomy. "We are testing whether an intervention that showed positive outcomes with ED will enhance performance.”
The responses to Johnson's tweet were varied and diverse.
"This is the content I pay for,” photographer and artist Joelle LB said.
"And with one tweet, a whole new market is born," science communicator and podcast host Liv Boeree responded.
"Thrusting humanity into the future,” Oklahoma Bitcoin Association Board Member Charlie Spears quipped.
YouTuber Davidson Video chimed in with a gender-swapped take.
A significant number of followers found it challenging to understand the connection between below-the-equator Botox injections and the overall objective of prolonging lifespan.
In his pursuit of longevity, Johnson has dedicated over $4 million in investments. The Botox injections for improved erection serve as his latest treatment in this endeavor.
“What do men care about more than anything else?” Johnson previously told Decrypt. “A man's ability to be erect and to have a healthy sexual life is really important, and if a man cannot become erect and cannot have sexual intercourse, it is psychologically debilitating. It is a source of shame and embarrassment.”
While Johnson has emphasized the importance of discontinuing self-destructive behaviors, injecting chemicals into his body has raised concerns and garnered some disagreement.
Despite the shocking nature of Johnson's activities and the skepticism expressed by individuals such as Elon Musk, Johnson remains unperturbed and continues to embrace it all with a calm and composed attitude.
"I’m having the time of my life,” Johnson said. “I know that headlines lead people to think inaccurate things about me, and that's okay—we can go on this journey together, and we'll find out who each other is in time.
“But no, I'm great, you're great, and this is going to be a good time together,” he added.
