Strongman pulls car with penis to raise abuse awareness

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 19:08 · Archive

A British strongman dressed as Michael Myers pulled a 1.5-tonne car using the tip of his penis to raise awareness of male domestic abuse.

John Stephenson, a British strongman, pulled a 1.5-tonne Renault Megane coupe using only the tip of his penis whilst dressed as Michael Myers, the horror film villain. The stunt took place at Tockwith Multi-Drive Centre near York. Stephenson, who is 50 years old according to Metro but 55 according to the New York Post, has previously pulled vehicles using his testicles and was the first man to pull a two-tonne car whilst on fire.

The strongman described the challenge as his most painful stunt to date. 'To be fair, it hurt a little bit this time using the tip,' he said. 'It's the most painful one I've done.' He joked about the difficulty, saying 'I'm always trying to gain an inch or two.'

The extreme feat was undertaken to raise awareness for the Mankind Initiative, which supports male victims of domestic abuse and their children. Stephenson drew a parallel between his ordeal and the plight of abuse victims, noting that like Michael Myers, many victims feel forced to wear a mask and hide their suffering. He urged others not to attempt the stunt themselves.
