Ball Alarm

You know what today is.

BUDDY BALL CHECK

And, Faithful Reader, Joost, has sent in proof that in his country (Netherlands) they take the Ball Check very seriously.

Two videos touting a countrywide Ball Alarm and one on Twitter HetBallenAlarm which sounds on the first Monday of each month to remind men to do their TSE.

For those of us who need translation:

"With the playful action 'The Ball Alarm', the Seedbal Cancer Foundation asks for extra attention to testicular cancer. The idea is that men will soon be at noon - if the monthly alarm sirens are blaring - to check their testes, every month. This should lead to the early detection of testicular cancer, also known as testicular cancer The most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 40. The initiators of 'The Ball Alarm' (drop everything and grab your balls) emphasize that it is good to build in a fixed check moment. That will lead to the earlier discovery of diseases, doctor Berend van Doorn explained in the NOS Radio 1 Journal. "The outlook is usually good," he said. "But the sooner you get to it, the greater the chance of survival."

In a video of the campaign you can see men, wherever they are when the sirens sounds, tuck their hands into their pants. "It's a little crazy, of course, but we hope to break the taboo in this way," says Van Doorn. "Because of its absurdity, we hope it reaches as many people as possible."

AND

Border2Border Entertainment has sent out an email reminding folks that near half the world's population has Balls, and they're rarely talked about. They made a documentary called.... BALLS. And they would like you to watch it. And share it.

"Our society imbues a man's testicles with the constructs of masculinity, sexuality, virility, and overall male-hood. So what happens when a man is faced with losing one or both? There are four main incidents that can lead a man to be faced with the removal of a ball - testicular cancer, torsion, an infection, or gender reassignment. The decision to replace or not replace, options of prosthetic, dating and disclosure, parenthood possibilities, and the psychology surrounding moving forward without feeling emasculated make Balls well rounded, talk-worthy, and shareable.

 

Be sure to check out Balls on these platforms! Amazon, Vimeo. 

So, get busy folks.

 You, too, Ladies. Watch and share it with your menfolk.

Then help him out - maybe do that Ball Check for him.

Remember, you just may save a life. 

Haul Them Out

Hope you all had a wonderful Hallowe'en, that you enjoyed some tricks and treats.

Women are constantly pushed and reminded into a yearly mammogram in addition to doing the monthly breast self exams. For some reason, men are not pestered to get their balls examined. Yet,

Sadly, most men don't don't get their nuts checked - - - until there's a problem; usually a severe problem.

Well, today is the beginning of Movember. This is the month that men are encouraged and sometimes lured into getting a complete physical. Including getting those balls properly checked. Properly checked means seeing a physician.

Some even set up outside of medical facilities.

I'm going to bug you guys all month long to get this done.

Ladies, you need to do your part. If you watch any HGTV and have seen Flip or Flop, you may be aware that Tarek has battled ball cancer - twice. You need to be talking to the men in your life. Nay, nag the men in your life - husbands, brothers, sons - to get checked.

The monthly Buddy Ball Check is important. Getting checked by a doctor sometime this month is equally, if not more, important. Having someone, even a Physician's Assistant, or Nurse Practitioner who knows what they're looking for could save a life.

Don't wait until it's too late.

Haul them out

and get them checked.

A Special Ball Check

Yes, it's that time again.

But, this month is special.

It's Movember! The month where facial hair is grown as a bit of a reminder about Testicular Cancer. Events happen around the country to encourage men to get their balls checked.

Here at Big Whack Attack, we take

BUDDY BALL CHECK

very seriously. We encourage men all year long, on the 15th of each month. So, what makes this one special?

Ball Cancer can be sneaky. You don't need to feel pain, you don't necessarily feel any lumps, but it's there. Border2Border Entertainment presents the NSFW Johnny Rapid Ball Check Video, along with free access to their film Balls a Documentary. Trust me, both are worth watching.

You don't have to be a porn star to know that the health of your balls is important.

 Every once in while you should take a good close look at your semen. Consider it just one more excuse to jack off.

Use something light, or white, to cum on or in. You are looking for tiny threads of red. 

Or a pink.

That is an indication of blood in the semen. If you notice any and have not suffered any recent testicular trauma, grab your cell phone - you know that thing you use to take all those dick pics and nude selfies.

Call your doctor for an appointment so he can check your nuts.

He may (or may not) ask you to provide him a sample. 

Can the embarrassment and just do it. You may as well - doctors do have a means of collecting it anyway

which may not be all that pleasant.

Just for fun...check out the Johnny Rapid blooper out-takes.

Go Nuts in November

Now, go get busy with the assignment.

Military Mantra

"Spectacles, testicles, wallet, ID." The military mantra we learned in Basic training.  Glasses for vision (or sunglasses), balls for courage to face the enemy, wallet in case you needed cash, ID (dog tags) in case they needed to identify your body. In civilian life it's just for fun, and ends with the word keys, so you don't have to return to the house to find/get them.

Balls, balls, balls. Important little guys. They do so much for us. Yet many guys neglect them - until it's too late. Or, as in the man who wrote to Dear Abby a couple weeks ago, who didn't lose them to cancer, but to some other physical trauma. He's looking for a support group, but most are for cancer survivors. He feels incomplete.

Abby failed to suggest implants. We men can feel as incomplete - less than a man - without our man-berries as women do after losing a breast. Testicular implants are the solution - because you aren't grabbing an empty sac when you shower, or, as many men do, when jacking off.

It's the 15th of November. Movember - the month we concentrate on Men's testicular and prostate cancer. So this becomes a very special

Buddy Ball Check

So, don't let embarrassment stop you

Get 'em checked, guys.

 

Watch the Balls documentary - it's an eye-opener. Even for men. Maybe especially for men. And, it's free for the month of November.
