In this cancer prevention week, the CerHom association is launching a prevention and awareness campaign called “Dickpicks-diagnostic”. The goal? Encourage men to show their attributes more easily to the medical profession.
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 35. However, it is still underdiagnosed. In this context, the CerHom association, the leading men’s health association in France and partner of Movember, has decided to launch a prevention and awareness campaign.
Hack the authors of dickpics to do prevention
The campaign is intended to be tinged with humour. Faced with “dickpics” – these untimely penis photographs sent to dating apps – CerHom takes the opposite view by launching a “Dickpicks-diagnosis” campaign.
The idea? Hack men who send unwanted dickpics on dating apps, by creating fake profiles.
Clearly, when a man sends a dickpic, fake profiles send him a standard response: “Thank you Thomas for your photo. If you look closely, it looks like one of your bags is swollen. It could be a symptom of an infection or cancer. Think of consulting a doctor and for more info appointment on dickpic-diagnostic.com“.
The individual is also encouraged to send his dickpic by whatsapp to 06 98 81 73 51 for an anonymous and free consultation.
A two-way campaign, which also encourages men to stop sending embarrassing dickpics to women without their consent. Indeed according toArticle 222-32 of the Penal Code : “Sexual exhibition imposed on the view of others in a place accessible to the gaze of the public is punishable by one year’s imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros“.
