It took Belle Grace several weeks to convince the man to see a doctor
An X-rated chat with an OnlyFans model may just have saved one man's life.
Belle Grace, who is in the 0.1 percent of top creators on the adult entertainment platform, quit her career in healthcare after earning more on the subscription site, but her medical past sure came in handy.
And during an explicit chat, she issued some life-saving advice.

The chat was getting all hot and heavy on camera when Grace noticed the man had one testicle bigger than the other. She then set about convincing him that he really needed to get it checked out.
Grace told
Yahoo that she didn't initially notice anything was wrong with the man, a regular client of about two years.
But during the past six months, she realised he needed to seek medical attention.
Doctors later revealed that the man had an "aggressive form" of testicular cancer which was thankfully caught in the nick of time.
“I said honestly, ‘I do think you should get it checked out’. And it took me about four, five weeks to actually convince him,” Grace told
Yahoo.
“He did turn around and say, ‘Look, I’m really embarrassed about it. I don’t actually want to go’. I said, ‘Honestly, just go, you’ll be fine. Just get that peace of mind that everything’s okay'."
The man is reportedly incredibly grateful Grace chose to speak up and be persistent with him.
“I can’t thank Belle enough for encouraging me to make the doctor’s appointment. I honestly didn’t think anything was wrong," the man, who has not been publicly identified, has said.

Testicular cancer is the most common form of the disease for men in their late 20s and early 30s and according to the
NHS typical symptoms include a painless swelling in one of the testicles.
In the UK, 2,300 people are diagnosed with the disease every year and since the mid-1970s the number of cases has doubled every year.
Luckily, testicular cancer is one of the most treatable cancers and 99 per cent survive for one year or more after being diagnosed. Ninety eight per cent will survive for five or more years.
Almost all men who are treated for testicular germ cell tumours make a full recovery and it's rare for the condition to return more than five years later.
