Controversial looksmaxxing streamer Braden Eric Peters – aka Clavicular – has sparked a backlash after telling Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast he practises ‘penis‑maxxing’
Streamer Braden Eric Peters – AKA Clavicular – known for his bone smashing technique to reshape his face and promoting the “looksmaxxing” subculture has come out with a new beauty hack – ‘penis-maxxing’.
In an episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, hosted by Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, Clavicular detailed how he hangs weighted shopping bags from his penis in an attempt to stretch the suspensory ligament.
“You just put stuff in here, various items, and you wrap it around your wrist like this,” the 20-year-old said. “Then you’re basically holding onto your suspensory ligament and stretching.”
He admitted: “I would do this while I was driving.”
The new looksmaxxing hack stunned Paul, who replied: “Your commitment to the game is admirable.” The influencer claimed he noticed improvement from penis-maxxing, alongside taking injections and medication, the New York Post reported.
However, he also revealed that “the erection angle will lower a bit”.
In another jaw-dropping confession, Clavicular said he boosted his confidence by “cold approaching” strangers while having an erection. Co-host Majlak replied: “The fact you’re able to say it so straight-faced is mind-blowing, but I agree with you.”
But Paul added: “This is above me. This is crazy.”
Experts who have appeared on 60 Minutes have described “hardmaxxing” practices as dangerous and lacking scientific basis, warning they risk serious and lasting harm. “Hardmaxxing” is an even more extreme strand of the looksmaxxing trend.
“There’s just absolutely no scientific evidence behind most of the things that they are talking about,” aesthetic surgeon Angie Taras said.
Clavicular has also attracted attention for run-ins with the law.
Earlier this month, he was sentenced to six months of probation after discharging a firearm at a dead alligator during a livestream in the Florida Everglades.
In April, he was reportedly rushed to hospital following a suspected overdose while he was live on camera.
