Strongman pulls car with tip of penis while dressed as Halloween's Michael Myers
A Lincolnshire strongman dressed as Halloween villain Michael Myers has become the first person in the world to pull a car - with the tip of his penis.
John Stephenson, 50, from the Donington, Spalding area, hauled a Renault Laguna Coupe around 15 metres (49ft) using his manhood at a driving centre near York this week.
The daredevil dad-of-three has previously set madcap records for pulling a car whilst on fire and also pulling a vehicle with his testicles.
But he believes this is the first time anybody has attempted in doing the same by using the end of their penis to take the weight of the vehicle.
John admitted this was his most painful challenge to date and now plans to call it a day on his dangerous stunts.
John, who spreads his time between Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, said: "I'm not going to lie, this one did hurt quite a bit.
"This was probably the most painful stunt I've ever done.
"I'm always looking to gain a couple of more inches but I don't think I'll be doing this again in a hurry.
"With the help of my girlfriend I wrapped it in a silk scarf and tea towels because I obviously didn't want my willy to be on display.
"And then it was just a case of attaching the rope to myself and the car.
"I did a couple of test runs at home but you just have to crack on with these things and push through the pain barrier.
"Luckily there's no lasting damage but I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this.
"I've done a car pull with my penis before but this is the first time anybody has ever tried it with the tip.
"People might think I'm crazy but I like to push myself to the limit."
The martial arts hall-of-famer and former bare knuckle fighter said he did the stunt to raise awareness of charity Mankind, which supports male domestic abuse victims.
He said: "The Michael Myers costume was symbolic. The idea was about unmasking men's experiences of abuse and encouraging them to speak about what they've been through.
"Domestic abuse against men isn't talked about enough. People often focus on women, but men can be victims too, and I wanted to help raise awareness of that.
"It's a horror story that happens behind closed doors and like the character of Michael Myers, many victims feel forced to wear a mask by pretending everything is fine.
"I put my body through this brutal, extreme physical ordeal to show these men that they are not invisible, they are not alone and they don't have to stay silent.
"The stunt was more about getting people talking about male domestic abuse and encouraging more support for men who experience it.
"If people are reading about the stunt, then they're also reading about the cause. That's the important thing for me."
John is also a world record holder for reeling off 300 punches in 30 seconds, all while holding 1kg dumbbells in each hand.
Other records to his name through Official Record Breakers involve performing six martial arts kicking techniques in less than five-and-a-half seconds.
He has now decided to quit the death-defying stunts and focus on less dangerous records to beat instead.
He added: "My family supports the causes I'm highlighting, but they've told me I need to cut back on the dangerous stuff.
"My kids have been saying for a while now to stop and I have to think of them.
"I'm 51 in January. I can't keep doing dangerous stunts forever.
"I'm going to scroll through the Guinness World Records and just pick random ones to try and beat.
"Everything I do is about getting a message across, raising awareness or supporting a cause.
"But the more extreme the stunt, the more attention it seems to attract."
