Since launching last weekend, the #cockinasock campaign has (thankfully) gained more traction over time. What began as a grassroots Instagram campaign designed to raise awareness and funds to help fight testicular cancer has grown into a full-blown craze, and an overwhelming number of sexy men have posed almost completely nude for the sake of a good cause.
For those of you behind on the times, the campaign is drumming up support for Cancer Research UK. Those posting #cockinasock pics are encouraging others to text ‘SOCK70 $amount’ to 70070 (in the UK), or if you’re in America, help by giving at justgiving.com.
At the end of the day, whether you’re a fervent supporter of cancer research or a sad Vice contributor that thinks charitable acts are “bullshit,” these are the very best #cockinasock pics you’re ever going to find:

Sorry, but this is stupid. Posting nude selfies isn’t going to cure cancer. If anything, I’m more alarmed by the shocking lack of any pubic hair among men, than by a cancer with a 99% survival rate that affects 8000 people in a country of 315 million.

@ack747: Just like wearing pink won’t cure breast cancer. It’s not to cure it, it’s to raise awareness.

Wow! Why do men shave their pubes so drastically? The look is so unmasculine and creepy. I don’t get it.
DerekR
@Bauhaus: it is not for you to get….if you don’t like it don’t look and keep your own as hairy as you please.
Bauhaus
@DerekR: I don’t like it, understand it isn’t for me to get, and I’ll look all I want.

Tattoos are so distracting.

I nominate this guy: http://instagram.com/p/l3YhlVldgl/
Wow.

i wanna see some bush on my guys, but unfortunately for gay guys, the trend is against it. i love hairy guys especially when it’s up, under there. (you know what I mean). oh boy, hair makes me crazy horny. stop shaving it guys, you look so sexy unshaven.

Pube shaving is becoming an epidemic. That said, I don’t see my pic anywhere on this list.
SteveDenver
This season’s trend in Knit Wear is absolutely stunning!
I love the spirited photos and appreciate the yummy stampede of participants. Testicular cancer is a tragedy and can be treated if detected early.
Now could we please get similar campaigns for colorectal cancer and prostate cancer?
Aromaeus
Yeah count me in the anti-shaved pube camp. It creeps me out. I remember learning about how my body would develop and being overly excited when I started noticing my own hair coming in. I will never understand why anyone shaves it completely. My favorite of the pics has to be the asian guy because damn that bush.
frshmn
ehh, not a huge fan of flossing while Im down there.

number 2, 6, 34. perfect!

Wow. Some of them are hung!!???????

@ack747: Now I “get” what my old slow-talkin’, country grandpa meant when he said: ” If you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say anything at all”.
Funny how all those old cliches become more “real” the longer you live…
Old-school generation of non-whiners… I admired them.

Nice pics (NFI why my last comment was “awaiting moderation”, since I stayed within all guidelines)

Don’t understand all the criticism. Surely there was something for everyone in this lovely parade! Some people just like to scream “There’s too much food here!” while standing at a buffet.

Guys, if you’re gonna take half nude photos of yourself in the hopes they go viral (because that’s what this is really about. Cancer? What?) please pick a better background than the back of your bathroom door, towel rack, mattress on the floor or TV.

@Bauhaus:
Several of the men of color still have their pubic hair, like Marlon McKenzie (YUMMMMM!!!!).
Very nice. This raises awareness, and a few other things ;-), so what’s not to like?
mingyao
At least the Asian guy didn’t shave.
whiskeyclone
am i the only one that finds the tongues hanging out a total turnoff.. either you actually think… a) miley is cool, b) tongues are the new duckface, or c) you’re just a total douchebag.
whiskeyclone
lol “raises awareness”… get real. like I need to look at totally ripped dudes to remember that cancer exists.

Assuming that the vast majority of these guys are straight, I guess that’s what makes the manscaping so surprising. I knew that lots of gay guys did that; I had no idea it had become so commonplace among straight men.
Anyway, most of them look like obnoxious d-bags.
The bearded guy with the “MEN” logo on his pic, though… hmmm… I could live with that.

For those with a hate on for trimmed pubes, it’s like Marion Ross says in the Spiderman movie…”Nobody wants to go down on a tumbleweed.”
sonofabee
There’s a big difference between neatly trimmed and completely shaved off…
coltonblack
Love the manscapped look. I do it!
bobbibubbi
The vast majority of these guys are showing off their meticulously chiseled, cut, tight abs — abs that end in the beautiful V-shaped inguinal muscles (I think I’ve heard this called the Adonis Belt). If you follow classic rules of visual aesthetics, this perfect “V” is ruined by the presence of a bush down there. It cuts off the tip of the “V” formation that our eyes are drawn to following the lines that lead to it. In other words, if you’re going to show off that “V’, nothing accentuates it better than having a clear runway, a totally unobstructed view of the entire V. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew this as far back as 2000 years ago. Notice that the pubes in classic statues are at a minimum. I suspect that the objection some here have to cutting off the pubes is more of a socio-psychological “emasculating” sentiment than a true disgust with the look.

If you liked it then ya shoulda put a ring on it…

@lykeitiz: “Don’t understand all the criticism.” You don’t understand that there’s a vocal contingent of jealous, bitter, lonely, judgmental gay men who want to dictate to everyone else how they should look?
Old news, bro.
Mezaien
The 5th from the top is the only black one and the best. All the others can go home now.
DarkZephyr
@Mezaien: They are mostly all at home. You’re so freaking numb in the brain and r*cist.
Marc
@DerekR: I can understand neatness. However there are men with more hair on their legs and chest,and none where a grown man should have hair. That is ridiculous.
Maude
A neat trim is very attractive.
ChickenLady
These boys really need to grow their pubes back.
gamer
@ChickenLady: Did you explode, looking at these pics?
dtpm
Looks like only the ‘perfect’ post these photos…fatties and uglies just don’t exist!
darkanser
@jonjct: I like furry guys too.
b2rocketfan
@Aromaeus: Mine too!!! His was the first bush I actually noticed. Yummy!
Terrycloth
You wanna look like a gorilla fine by me…I don’t find any of them attractive with or without hair..they all look ridiculous
