Girl Gives Free Testicle Exams On International Men’s Day For Charity, Simple Pickup Donates To Movember
A girl gave free testicle exams for charity on Nov. 19, which marks International Men's Day. Focusing on male health, the event aims to raise awareness for testicular cancer, highlight positive male role models, improve gender relations, and promote gender equality.
Simple Pickup, a group of YouTube pick up artists, agreed to donate $100 to the Movember campaign for every man that agreed to get a free testicle exam from a woman dressed as a nurse named Marissa on the street.
The group posted the video on YouTube and has since become viral. They agreed to donate an additional $100 to Movember for every 100,000 views the video will rack up. In the video, Simple Pickup was able to convince six strangers to get free testicle exams in public.
With a goal to raise awareness for men's health including prostate cancer symptoms and mental health issues, the Movember campaign also teaches men how to check themselves for testicular cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, it is necessary for men to be always aware of testicular cancer and if they find a lump on their testicle, they should immediately consult a doctor. After puberty, a monthly self-exam is recommended for men.
As Marissa said in the viral video, every man is "just as qualified" as she is to give himself a "thorough examination."
