February 14 has been and gone, but that doesn't seem to have stopped Bryan Johnson, with the 'biohacker' revealing his 11-step routine on how to get busy between the sheets.
When not indulging in a 34-minute-long lunch or taking an 'epic dose' of mushrooms while on a livestream, Johnson is known for...his Johnson.
Having previously gone viral for measuring his own son's erection data and trying to de-age his penis, Bryan Johnson has now shared his tips and tricks for 'getting some'. Johnson recently shocked when he revealed he was in a relationship with the co-founder of his longevity company, Blueprint, and he's expanding on this by revealing exactly how he performs in the bedroom.
Celebrating Valentine's Day, Johnson candidly shared his own advice on how you can put some wowsers in your trousers during intercourse.

Starting by saying that some generations were never 'taught' how to make love, he referred to "the kind that deepens pair bonds and strengthens the relationship."
Saying that intimacy is taboo and reiterated that many people have learned from pornography, Johnson's 11-step guide begins with timing and how slow and gentle is the best way to be with women. Men are apparently ready to go in anywhere between two and five minutes, while women can take up to 20 minutes to be in the mood. Starting before 18 minutes is said to cause pain in women, claiming they need time to 'tent' where the uterus lifts up and back to lengthen the vaginal canal.
As well as a slow and purposeful touch, you need to ensure vaginal wetness. Even then, it doesn't mean a woman is 'ready', because moistness doesn't correlate to her being ready to receive. This means lubrication is important to have nearby. As Johnson says: "Adequate lubrication reduces friction, micro-tears, inflammation, and pain, all of which directly affect comfort."
Nipples are helpful for foreplay, feeling safe is a prerequisite, and rhythm over technique is vital.
Johnson says that breathing can set the tone and pace because "deep breathing activates vagal pathways that down-regulate sympathetic stress and facilitate genital vasocongestion."
There are multiple ways to climax, although studies suggest that only 15-25% of women are able to orgasm through just penetration alone. Anywhere between 70-85% of women need clitoral stimulation (direct or indirect) to orgasm.
Interestingly, he suggests that up to 10% of women can orgasm from nipple stimulation alone.
Rounding off his advice, Johnson says you should try to lose yourself in the experience: "Performance focus activates self-monitoring and evaluative circuits, pulling attention out of sensation and into cognition. Sexual arousal is strongest when attention remains interoceptive rather than outcome-driven."
You need to listen to a woman's feedback on what hurts, then modify your technique to allow for this. Pain reportedly reflects 'insufficient arousal'. He reminds us that "clinical research in dyspareunia and vulvovaginal pain shows strong links to autonomic imbalance and pelvic floor tension.
The comments were typically grim, with a mix of misogyny and others saying Johnson doesn't have the necessary qualifications to give sex advice.
Still, there appears to be plenty of science behind his post, so next time you're trying to test the bed springs, why not test his methodology?
