You won’t see Buzzfeed’s Try Guys growing their ’staches for Movember, the monthlong facial hair campaign to raise awareness for prostate cancer. Instead, they’re taking the campaign seriously by going to have their own prostates checked out by a hilarious doctor. On camera.
And yes. This is the exam that involves a finger in the butt.
The guys learn in the video below that prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in the United States, and that 14 percent of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some time in their life. They chat about what makes the exam so culturally taboo among dudes (spoiler alert: it’s masculinity) and why it’s dumb to avoid it for the sake of your pride.
We agree with Eugene on the matter: “If it takes just one finger up the butt to find out a life or death situation, stick the whole hand up my butt.”
“It was uncomfortable to show this on camera, however, the actual exam is easy and painless,” said Ned Fulmer. “I hope this video gets people talking and removes some of the stigma around men’s health!”
Below, watch The Try Guys go through a painless prostate exam as well as an exam for testicular cancer, the most common cancer among men in their 15-34 age group.
