Bryan Johnson, the 47-year-old tech mogul known for his extreme anti-aging regimen, is facing intense backlash after publicly sharing personal data about his son in a post on X .
The controversial post, shared on Wednesday, included screenshots from a device that tracks nightly erections, revealing the number of erections, their duration, quality, and sleep efficiency for both Johnson and his 19-year-old son.
Nighttime erection data from my 19-year-old son, @talmagejohnson_, and me. His duration is two minutes longer than mine.

The post, in which Johnson remarked that his son’s “duration is two minutes longer than mine,” quickly went viral, with many social media users expressing shock and disgust over the invasive nature of the content. Critics called it “weird,” “gross,” and “disturbing,” with some questioning the appropriateness of sharing such intimate data publicly.

Two years ago, billionaire @bryan_johnson was using his 17 year old son as a blood boy because he’s scared of aging/dying

Bryan Johnson, who has spent millions annually on his anti-aging efforts, including a strict health regimen and cutting-edge treatments, has been known for his extreme approach to slowing the aging process. His routine includes daily blood tests, a vegan diet, and even blood transfusions. However, his latest stunt, which involved tracking his son’s erections, seems to have crossed a line for many observers.
Johnson has previously been criticized for involving his son in his extreme health practices. In 2023, Talmage reportedly provided a liter of his blood for a plasma-swapping procedure aimed at rejuvenating Bryan and his 70-year-old father.
The latest controversy has sparked widespread debate about privacy and ethics, with many urging Bryan Johnson to delete the post and reconsider his approach to health and family.
