A man who has gone to extreme lengths to prevent aging is trying a new approach – which involves a device on his privates.
Biohacker Bryan Johnson, 46, is determined to be forever young and there are no lengths he won't go to to achieve his desired body. He has already spent millions trying out baffling techniques to try and maintain an 18-year-old body, such as swapping blood with his young son.
He has previously claimed to have turned his biological clock back by eight years with tests appearing to show lungs, skin and even erections all performing in a way expected from a younger man. But now the American has revealed he is taking even further steps to maintain his youth.

In a new interview with TIME, Johnson spoke about a device he wears on his penis in bed, which he uses to measure his erections. The device is one of two items that he keeps in his bedroom, with the other being a ‘laser-face shield he uses for collagen growth and wrinkle reduction’ and he sticks to a strict regime of an 8.30pm bedtime.
He explained the importance of his erection-measuring device, as he said that he sees night-time erections as a "a biological age marker for your sexual function". He added: "I have, on average, two hours and 12 minutes each night of erection of a certain quality. To be age 18, it would be three hours and 30 minutes."
The unusual device isn't the only thing he uses on his penis, as he has recently shared on Twitter that he has injections to help with his sexual functions. He wrote: "I’m getting my penis injected Friday which is an arousing topic."

The steps that he called "rejuvenating Johnson's Johnson" included "penis injection with Alprostadil (prolonged erection), measuring the penile arteries, peak and minimum blood flow, ejaculation volume, max urination speed, sperm motility and a penis plaque check".
On top of the bizarre methods to stay young, Johnson also uses some more traditional techniques in what he has dubbed ‘Project Blueprint’. His strictly follows a diet which includes taking 80 vitamins and mineral supplements every day, alongside a very precise 1,977-calorie diet, consisting of 70lbs of mushed veggies a month as well as almond milk, walnuts, flaxseed and berries. On top of this he exercises for at least 30 minutes every day.
