While Hollywood celebrities like George Clooney have undergone Ball Ironing Procedure that Boosts the Male Clientele of a Sta Monica Spa, a Colombian poet is instead selling his testicles for $20,000 to fund a trip to Europe.

Poet Rafael Medina Brochero, who has authored 11 books, is so desperate to join the Poetry for Peace in Colombia's European tour that he is willing to part with an anatomical part vital to his being a father again, Huffington Post reports, quoting ColombiaReports.com.

The reason behind such a daring sale is to ensure his experience in 2012 while on a tour of Bolivia would not be repeated, which was running out of cash and needing to pawn his wedding ring.

The 52-year-old poet said the buyer could transplant the semen-producing body part to a sterile male or be used to make an exotic soup made of male balls, Yahoo Australia reported.

Oakdale has a Testicle Festival, but the main ingredient is bull balls, not human testicles.

In the Philippines, cow butt and bulls are made into Soup No 5, said to be an aphrodisiac.

Although, ironically, in the same country, impoverish men sell their kidneys instead of their testicles.

In contrast, women in other countries in turn sell their virginity via auction.
