From the website: “This project exists to help save lives. (One tweak, thrust, moan, and pant at a time.” (Warning: ‘Toons of sex positions ahead!)
The Cancer Sutra is a project that reminds people to check themselves and their partners for signs of cancer. Because in many cases, the earlier you detect cancer, the easier it will be to treat.
The Cancer Sutra is exactly what it sounds like: Sex positions, but with silly tips about how you could multi-task and check your partner for breast, testicular, skin, or prostate cancer WHILE YOU'RE BONING.
NYC-based advertising agency The Bull-White House partnered with Stupid Cancer to create the Cancer Sutra. "We want to show that you can put across a serious message in a way that will bring joy," Matthew Bull, of Bull-White House, tells BuzzFeed Life in an email.
This position is called The Nutty Professor. You can check your partner's balls for testicular cancer using this saucy move.
From the picture caption: "As your lips find something to occupy themselves with, let your hand make its way to his testicles. But gentle, gentle; lest you turn his ecstatic moans into woeful groans."
Here are tips from the American Cancer Institute on what to look for when you're checking yourself (or a partner) for testicular cancer.

This is the Cat (or Matt) Scan. It's a great position to eyeball your partner's skin for any new and suspicious-looking moles.
Suspicious moles are a sign of skin cancer, FYI.
Here are tips from the Skin Cancer Foundation on what to look for when you're giving yourself (or your partner) a check.

And this one's called the Ultrabound Test. You can give your partner's boobs a squeeze and a looksy to check for any unusual or suspicious signs of breast or skin cancer.
From the caption: "While we're sure you rarely miss an opportunity to give her bosoms more than a fleeting glance, now's your chance for a closer inspection."
Here are step-by-step instructions for how to do a breast self-exam, from the American Cancer Society. And again: Tips for doing a skin cancer check.
