The science

Why night-time erections matter

3–5

erections every night, while you sleep - your body’s built-in maintenance routine.

Your body's natural night gym — nocturnal erections as overnight tissue maintenance
Maintenance

Your body’s natural night gym

Each episode sends oxygen-rich blood into the erectile tissue, keeping it flexible, nourished and healthy — like a nightly workout that protects function for the long term. Just as your daily steps reflect physical activity, the total duration of your night-time erections reflects how well your body is maintaining itself at rest. Longer total duration means better oxygenation, tissue health and recovery.

Adam Sensor measuring night-time erections as a key indicator of male longevity and AndroAge
Biomarker

A key indicator of male longevity & wellness

Night-time erections are more than a measure of performance; they are one of the most powerful functional biomarkers of men’s health. They depend on your cardiovascular system, hormones, nerves and sleep quality. Changes in night-time erections often mirror early shifts in heart, metabolic or hormonal health long before symptoms appear. Through the Adam App this is translated into your AndroAge™ — a single score, expressed in years, that reflects how well your body is functioning across these systems.

What improvement means for you

More oxygen, every night

Stronger night-time erections mean more oxygen and gentle stretch for your erectile tissue during sleep.

Better-conditioned tissue

Better-conditioned tissue supports daytime confidence without relying on short-term solutions.

Broader health gains

Improvements reflect broader health gains, like better sleep and recovery, improved cardiovascular fitness and more balanced hormones.

Learn how to strengthen your function and support long-term performance and longevity.

Getting started

Setup happens once and takes a few minutes. After that it’s putting it on before bed and checking your results in the morning.

  1. 1

    Charge it

    USB-C, with the cable in the box. A full charge takes about an hour and gives you up to 14 hours of recording.

  2. 2

    Open the app

    Free on iOS and Android. The sensor pairs over Bluetooth the moment you open it — there is no setup to work through.

  3. 3

    Put it on before bed

    Its worn at the base of the shaft with a retractable, non-constricting band.

  4. 4

    Sleep as normal

    It records on its own through the night. Nothing to start, stop or check — and next to no cleaning afterwards.

In the morning

Your episodes, total duration and quality are waiting in the app.

After three nights

You have your AndroAge™ baseline. From then on, once a week or every couple of weeks is enough to track your trend.

What do the experts say?

Night-time erections are a little-known yet crucial biomarker of sexual function, as well as cardiovascular, hormonal, and lifestyle health. The Adam Sensor, a revolutionary technology once confined to sleep labs, now puts this insight in any man’s hands.

FAQs

What data will the Adam Sensor provide?

The Adam Health app translates raw data from the sensor into clear, actionable insights. After each night of use, you will see:

  • AndroAge™: A single score that benchmarks your night-time erection activity against healthy averages.
  • Erection Episodes: The number of times an erection occurred during the night and the time and duration of each event.
  • Total Duration: The total amount of time spent in an erection state.
  • Erection Quality: A percentage score based on your personal baseline.
  • Measurement Duration: The total duration of the measurement, which helps put your erection data into context.

The app tracks these individual measurements over time to show you long-term trends in your wellbeing.

What is AndroAge™?

AndroAge™ is a personalised wellness metric based on your recorded nighttime erection data, including total duration and episode frequency. It compares your measurements to average patterns observed across age groups, giving you a personal benchmark to track how your results change over time.

AndroAge™ is not a clinical score, or a medical assessment. It is a wellness tracking tool designed to help you understand your own patterns and see how lifestyle factors may correlate with your results.

The result is personalised to you.

Will the Adam Sensor fit me?

The Adam sensor uses an adjustable design to fit all sizes comfortably.

It is small enough to not disrupt your sleep, while the pull-out section adapts to your body.

If the sensor does not fit, we provide a full refund.

How does the sensor feel while I sleep?

The Adam sensor is designed to be non-constrictive.

Unlike devices that use tight elastic or rigid bands, our sensor uses a flexible, adjustable pull-out section. It sits securely without applying pressure or restricting natural movement.

This ensures the sensor stays in place throughout the night while remaining comfortable.

How is the Adam Sensor different from a typical penis ring?

The primary difference is safety and intent. Most consumer rings, even those marketed as trackers, are constriction devices.

To avoid the risk of tissue damage, safety guidelines generally recommend these should not be worn for more than 30 minutes. The Adam Sensor is specifically designed for sleep and safe night time erection tracking.

It is non-constrictive and uses a flexible, adjustable band. This allows for safe, continuous use throughout the night without restricting blood flow or natural movement.

How often should I wear the Sensor?

You don’t need to wear the sensor every night to get value from it.

We recommend wearing it for three nights when you first start, either consecutive or close together. This establishes your initial benchmark. After that, while some men prefer to wear it nightly, wearing it once a week or every two weeks is enough to track your trends and spot any changes.

Like any wellness tool, more data makes it easier to see patterns, but the frequency is entirely up to you.

Is there a monthly subscription?

Currently, there is no monthly subscription. Your purchase of the Adam sensor includes full access to the app and your personal insights.

As we develop more advanced features and long-term data tracking, we may introduce a premium subscription tier in the future. However, we will always be transparent about any changes to our pricing.

Is the Adam Sensor rechargable or battery powered?

It is fully rechargeable (USB-C) and is supplied with a relevant cable that plugs into a standard USB port.

How is my data used?

Your data is used to provide you with personalized wellness insights. The Adam app analyzes your sensor readings to calculate your AndroAge™ and track trends in your erection duration, frequency and quality.

We prioritize your privacy. Your data is encrypted and used only to improve your experience within the app. We do not sell your personal health information to third parties, insurance companies, or advertisers.

Is the Adam Sensor a medical device?

No, the Adam Sensor is a general health tracking device, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, track or cure any medical condition. If you have any concerns we recommended you consult a healthcare professional

Customers praised the tracker for being comfortable, discreet, and easy to use with consistent, reliable data. The app syncs well and provides clear reports, though some wanted more detail and better battery life. Setup takes minutes and the AndroAge score motivates healthier habits. Support is responsive and knowledgeable.

Adam Sensor is a GREAT learning tool I use with my Oura Ring. I'm happy at 75 years old.

I’m impressed by the Sensor and by the tracking, insights, and ways to optimize my learning for health. I began using it September 11-12 and have 6 sessions recorded in the first 25 nights. (One of those first sessions was a false one in that I started the Sensor running by mistake after turning it on one morning to check out how it is switched on and records. It recorded no activity for 15 hours in that it was running on a table.)
My wife and I were pleased that my large penis girth is not a problem for the Sensor. When placing the ring on I follow Adam Health instructions and I don’t notice the Sensor ring until I wake up the next morning.
There is a bit of a learning curve to use it, and to await the analysis of each reported session. The User Guide, FAQs, and support notes are helpful.
I use the sensor alongside my Oura Ring (that tracks nightly REM sleep among other things). I’ve had Oura rings for years, and I am interested to see reports of light sleep, and REM, and deep sleep, and more from Oura – as I set them alongside the Adam Health Session Reports and trends.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Session Reports and each Analysis. I’m 75 years old, and my younger wife of 40 years knows that my high libido continues to be strong. We assumed that I typically have one “morning woody” – and I was pleased to learn my system engages in 4 to 8 erections most nights, unless there are severe interruptions to my sleep and a “bad night.”
In a few more sessions I think it will continue to be true that I land in the 95-99% range in my age group of 75 and up who track erections. With a few more easy sessions I will have a valid AndroAge.
This makes sense in concert with my healthy, high nitric oxide level, good blood lab work that my primary care doctor and the urologist order and follow, and a lifestyle of being outside in the sun with wise precautions, exercise, watching our eating and weight, and our happy, fulfilling marriage. I’m in good health with managed blood pressure. And a positive outlook on life, supported by the strong faith my wife and I share...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the screenshot of the graph in my latest Session Report & Analysis is a stunner of 8 valid erection episodes in one refreshing night of sleep. If they are related nocturnal maintenance, I'm doing fine!

I'm grateful to Adam Health for surprising me with a fine product, support, and learning.

Thanks!

Informative. Not a distraction when wearing. Only issue is connecting the app with the sensor to download information. That connection only happens after turning the sensor off and then back on again, not automatically as described.

The missing piece for anyone already tracking their health

I already wear a Whoop and track my sleep, HRV, and recovery. The Adam Sensor filled a signigicant gap.
It tracks night-time erections, that are apparently one of the best indicators of cardiovascular, hormonal, and overall health.

The setup is simple, the sensor is comfortable enough that I forget I'm wearing it, and the morning report is surprisingly clear.
Just keep your expectations realistic: this is about long-term trends, not one-night readings.

if you're the type of guy who already tracks your health and wants one more objective metric that actually matters, this is a no-brainer.

A small sensor that provides a large amount of information

Other than some sometimes laggy connection, I found the sensor in app easy to use and understand. The information both gives me confidence that my systems are working, despite some changes in my personal life, and also helps me understand bigger body issues in the face of some inconsistent data, particularly about arterial health. I found the nutrition advice also helpful because epithelial activity has impacts far beyond erections. Basically the sensor and the app can both let you know about your sexual health and serve as a canary in the Cole mine for larger metabolic cardiac related issues.

Really impressed with the Adam Sensor

Really impressed with the Adam Sensor. It’s comfortable to wear overnight, simple to use, and the app makes the results very easy to understand. Being able to actually track my night-time erections and see the data over time gives me insights I simply wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s discreet, well designed, and has become genuinely useful for understanding and monitoring this part of my health. Very happy with it.

Disappointing Experience for the Price

The product is very expensive for what it offers, and unfortunately the app keeps freezing, which makes it difficult to use the product smoothly and reliably. For something at this price point, I expected a much better and more polished experience. Overall, I find it overpriced and disappointing, and I would not recommend it.

Thank you for your review, and we're sorry to hear this. The app freezing shouldn't be happening, and we understand how frustrating that is.

Our team will investigate what's going on, and a member of our team will reach out to you directly to understand the app issues you're experiencing and how we can improve your experience.

Nightly androage number varies from 35-75 even with similar sleep times/duration

Nightly androage number varies from 35-75 even with similar sleep times/duration. It’s actually really hard to make any sense of the data when it’s so variable each day. As of right now, I wouldn’t recommend this device - its not clear how you are supposed to diagnose anything with the variance in daily results.

Thank you for your message, and for the honest feedback.

Night-to-night variation in the session score is expected, even with similar sleep times. A number of things affect it: sleep architecture and quality, alcohol, some medications, exercise the previous day and how well you've recovered. That's why we recommend looking at the trend over weeks rather than any single night.

To make this clearer, we've moved the AndroAge score into Insights, where it now reflects a slower-moving average, while each individual measurement is shown as a session score. We'll also soon be releasing integration with wearable devices, so you can see more of the factors that may be affecting a given night.

If you'd like, we'd be happy to go through your measurements with you. Please contact us at support@talktoadam.com.

Better than the old way of doing things

The battery life does not seem like it is going to last long. Within a few weeks of use, it has already dropped from 100% full charge to low 90's after charging. Unlike an Oura ring, the Bluetooth uploading of data feels slow and you don't get an immediate summary report, it sometimes takes hours to see your data from the previous night. But compared to wrapping paper around your penis to see if it breaks, this technology is so far advanced from those days. So far the AndroAge calculation seems gimmicky. Having just the number and quality of erections is the data I want and this little device delivers, so far.

Thanks for the thoughtful review. We’re glad the Adam Sensor is giving you the core data you were looking for.

We’ll be releasing a lot of updates, including faster data transfer and quicker analysis, so your feedback on Bluetooth syncing and report timing is especially helpful. Regarding AndroAge, we use it to translate the underlying data into a metric that is easier for most users to understand, but we appreciate your perspective on how it feels in practice.

We’d love to hear more from you in detail if you’re available for a short call. For any further feedback or features you’d like us to release, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team at support@talktoadam.com.

I bought the Adam sensor after seeing that Bryan Johnson uses it. I only received it a few days ago and have only done a few measurements so far. Its easy to use - you just wear at the base of the penis before going to bed and start a measurement through the app. App is very easy to use. You unlock your Androage after three measurements which is the best feature of the app as you can compare your measurements to your age. I was surprised that you don't feel it all when you wear at night - its as if its not there. Very comfortable to wear overall and app is good.
