Biohacker who wants to 'live forever' claims if men aren't having these specific erections they're '70% more likely to die'

Bryan Johnson has been on an unbelievable health journey he hopes will make him 'live forever'

A self-proclaimed biohacker who wants to 'live forever' has claimed on a new podcast how men are '70% more likely to die' if they aren't having a specific type of erection.

Bryan Johnson is taking part in a lengthy and intense experimental medical program in the hope of 'reversing aging', and it's safe to say it's been a resounding success so far.

Whether it be following a strict diet, or using his son's blood, Johnson is doing anything possible to remain as young as possible.

While he may be in his late 40s, the biohacker has previously said his crazy experiment helped him achieve the 'heart of 37-year-old' and the 'lung capacity of an 18-year-old'.

And speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the biohacker discussed a whole bunch of topics, including erections - because of course he did.

Making a remarkable claim, Johnson said: "If you're not having nighttime boners, you're 70 percent more likely to die."

Speaking further about how erections while you are sleeping can be monitored, the biohacker added: "You need some kind of measurement as they happen during sleep cycles so you're oblivious to a lot of it.

"You need technology, so you need a little cube and you put it on the penis, it sits at the base, and as your penis gorges throughout the night, it measures the duration and the strength of the eruption."

Speaking further on The Ranveer Show podcast earlier this year, Johnson added: "Men who do not have nighttime erections are 70 percent more likely to die prematurely. It predicts death.

"On average, a 20-year-old male should have between 3 and 5 erection episodes per night, yeah, like, 145 minutes of erections, and that’s healthy. By the time you’re 75, that reduces to about 50 minutes, so dramatically declines with age. Nighttime erections are, like, a really important health marker."

Dr Srikanth V, a specialized urologist, discussed the potential link between nighttime erections and premature death.

"While the absence of nighttime erections is associated with certain health risks, the claim that it directly predicts premature death is an oversimplification," the doctor told the Indian Express.

"Several studies suggest that erectile dysfunction — particularly when caused by vascular or metabolic issues — is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality.

"Since nighttime erections are largely driven by healthy vascular function and neural pathways, their absence may be a red flag for conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances, which themselves are associated with increased mortality risk."
