Men have hit back at the ladies’ ‘no make-up selfie’ to take cancer awareness to the next level with the ‘Sock on a Cock’ campaign.
Warning: Some nudity is featured below.
The ‘no make-up selfie’ took the world by storm earlier this week and has raised over a £1million for Cancer research in just two days.
Although some men have tried to get on board by posting their own selfies wearing make-up, it struggled to gain the same traction in the same way.
The ‘Sock on a Cock’ and does exactly what it says on the tin and the Facebook page was opened late last night and has almost 7,000 likes already.

And the hashtag #sockonacock was not far behind as the campaign soon spread to Twitter.
Chris Howe, tweeting at @crhowe08, got involved and said: “Now it’s the boys turn its #SockOnACock and I thought I’d start the ball rolling! #AnkleSockHowe #StagefreightSemi.”
Another supporter Stacey Hawkins, tweeting at @74sweetpea, backed the campaign and said: “#sockonacock for testicular cancer awareness = brilliant idea….beats makeup any day of the week!!! Load them pics and donate donate donate.”
Kris Boobyer, tweeting at @krisboobyer, also congratulated the campaigners and said: “Whether you’re takin a #nomakeupselfie or putting a #sockonacock if you’re raising money for @CR_UK , as a cancer survivor, I applaud you! X”
Mikey Evans, tweeting at @Mikeyevans9, was less positive and said: “I’m all for supporting cancer but surely this is too far! #sockonacock”
