Sooooo #cockinasock is thing right now. I'd give links, but… you know NSFW. It's apparently to raise money for testicular cancer.

Didn't Flea from RHCP do that in the 90s.

This sounds too funny and disturbing. Just what I'd expect from the internet. And how are photo fads going to help testicular cancer? Is it the same way a "like" is going to save a little girl's life?

If it's big, feel free to do it! I haven't heard of it, but if there is significant spread for it, it should be documented despite how stupid it may seem. It actually sounds like something that would happen on the internet though. Make sure to mark it NSFW though and don't post pictures unless the sock totally covers the cock.

Just looked it up…

I now regret that decision.

Just saw this on BuzzFeed.

This started around the same time as the Internet. RHCP have been doing it since 83. In fact I'm pretty suremy avatar is from '85.

I first saw it on The Daily Grind

Click if you dare. Seems everyone's using the same pics though.

I'm getting sick of all this talk and no action. It's about time someone made an entry for this already!

Lemme gather some more materials first

For the wiki additional source, would it be better to link RHCP's 1983 tour or Willy Warmers ?

It was clearly inspired by it RHCP, as stated in in interview with the founders of the project, Balls to Cancer. I'm going off a lot of what they said there, as well as pinpointing out earlier examples, predating RHCP. On that note, I'm not sure if the year should be 1983 or 2014.

How would I go about making this a sub-entry to Instagram?

Here's the start to the entry.
