He looks healthy enough to be a real snack for whoever gets to eat the rich

[–] Ceedoestrees 3 points 2 days ago

Just not the dick. According to this article he gets weekly penis injections, but it doesn't say of what.

Yeah, that's a perfectly normal thing to do.

[–] teft 156 points 3 days ago (5 children)

The dude gets weekly dick injections which he classifies as 9.5 out of 10 on a pain scale.

Weekly.

Dude is a fucking moron.

I truly hope that these people start getting massive organ failure and shit because of all of this experimental garbage they put into their bodies.

[–] kescusay 80 points 3 days ago (9 children)

9.5 out of 10. In his dick.

Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that's what it takes?

[–] DharkStare 69 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis."

Sounds like a cursed genie wish.

What's the quality of my life? Like 20s forever or do I still age?

It's like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you've ever felt.

It's completely normal father-son bonding. Find a different slant.

Fucking weirdos

On a related note, I was just searching fdroid for a signal app. I didn't find one, but I did find an app that tracks your Morning Wood

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Didn't think you were serious.

[–] MadBigote 4 points 2 days ago

Lol and you're downloading it!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

encouraging collaboration and innovation

Yes, let's "collaborate" in regard to our morning wood.

"Hay bro, would you mind 'innovating' with my erection this morning? No homo"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

Yep, thats the one

Edit: lol you're downloading it?

Dafuq kind of insight do i gain from it...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I guess it might help if you're concerned about ED, since experiencing less (or no) morning woods can be a sign of physical ED.

[–] CrowAirbrush 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Huh, ED caused by depression...never knew those were linked.

Interesting info, thank you.

[–] MutilationWave 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And ED can be exacerbated by certain depression meds. There's nothing wrong with my dick. If my wife were to grab it, it would work just fine I just don't even think about sex every day and very rarely masturbate.

[–] CrowAirbrush 2 points 1 day ago

I knew about meds messing with your sex drive, been through that myself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd be shocked if they weren't linked.

[–] CrowAirbrush 2 points 2 days ago

I never really read up on it, even though i should.

The wife's chronically depressed and i'm not doing much better either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Really ? I don't think I ever experienced this regularly ever. I have otherwise no issues getting it up

[–] postmateDumbass 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does it require a sensor? Do they wear a fleshlight to bed? Is it camera based?

So many questions.

Also, theDailyBeast reporting on morning wood is quality humor from the matrix.

I'm about to be 40. I smoke. I don't exercise. I eat like shit.

I get erections like I was still in puberty and am horny pretty much 24/7. When the fuck does this shit stop?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago (7 children)

When depression sets in...

i saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)

in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.

everything he does can't be healthy and i wouldn't call what he does "living". he's bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.

I don't mind this guy. He's basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don't think it totally negates the value.

Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Talking about your dick is one thing. Talking about your sons dick and using your sons blood is just fucking creepy. Hope the kid gets good therapy for this crazy shit.

Sucks for this guy. I’m close to his age, I drank and smoked heavily for years and I look about the age he does
