For many men, ball fondling is key to physical health. Nobody knows this better than actor Ryan Reynolds (and thousands of doctors worldwide).

The Deadpool star made a video, released today, encouraging men to practice regular ball scratching -- okay, the technical term is "monthly testicular exams." Men can perform such exams with or without the assistance of a doctor. And while not entirely foolproof, ball-fondling/exams are now a key part of preventive care.

Who better to teach you how to perform a serious medical procedure than the star of Van Wilder: Party Liaison ?
