Bryan Johnson gives his third sperm sample in two years at UCLA Health as part of his Blueprint project. He argues that semen quality is a measurable marker of overall health, but societal taboos keep people from discussing it openly or monitoring their own.
Okay, I'm at UCLA Health now. I'm going to go inside and give them a sperm sample. This is my third in the past two years to see how it's been going. Sexual health is really important and it's kind of a taboo topic. If you're someone who struggles with sexual health, you don't really talk about it. You can't talk about it because it means you're less of a man or something like that. But it's really important. And what I've been trying to do with blueprint is talk about the various elements that contribute to sexual health. So all the things that stack up your semen quality is really important. And today I'm trying to demonstrate that this is something we can do. It's something you can talk about. It's something you can know, be familiar with. It's not something that we need to shy away from. We all want to have healthy, functional sexual lives and this is a really good marker to know about.
