The man who pulled a car with his penis is explaining why he went with the fiery hat on a hat for his recent stunt ... revealing he's not the first person to use his Johnson to jerk a car.
John Stephenson stopped by "TMZ Live" to talk about his recent dong-defying feat -- he pulled a car weighing two tonnes 131 feet using only his member ... and, he explained he wanted to do a truly original stunt to raise awareness about prostate cancer.
The Brit explains he -- like us -- figured pulling the car would be enough ... but, it turns out another dude's already whipped it out and yanked a whip down the street, so he needed another layer.
Stephenson immediately jumped to the idea of flames -- a pretty extreme measure -- to add his own flair to the situation ... and, the stunt will now live on forever in the One-Eyed Wonder Hall of Fame (patent pending).

Kara Swisher has a dire warning about A.I. ... despite the technological miracles it brings to your life, it's also fueling a worldwide loneliness epidemic, and it just can't replace human interaction.
The famed technology journalist is also hosting the new series "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever" on CNN, and she joined us Friday for a convo on "TMZ Live" about the rise of humans befriending A.I. chatbots.
Kara says she needs to remind people that A.I. isn't like human beings ... it's a synthetic sycophant desperate to keep users' attention, not a friend that exists in our three-dimensional world.
Nick Cannon dropped by the TMZ office on Thursday to chop it up with Harvey and Charles for a few ... and left the office howling with a light roast of our fearless leader.
The actor and TV host popped in with comic Rip Micheals to mostly talk about "Wild 'N Out: On the Road" ... which he's doing in partnership with the Netflix is a Joke Fest ... but he also talked a little about his kids, specifically how hilarious it is when ex Mariah Carey crashes Moroccan's Twitch live stream.
But, as you can see in the "TMZ Live" clip ... the best moment was when Nick said he would consider hosting our super popular TMZ Celebrity Tour ... if Harvey would be a guest on 'Wild 'N Out.' And that's when he and Rip gave HL a taste of what to expect on the show ... roasting the boss' shoes -- hitting him with the classic "What are those?!" It was gold, Jerry.
Grindr's White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend bash in Washington, D.C. is drawing interest from the top reaches of government ... including President Donald Trump's administration!
Joe Hack -- the dating app's head of global government affairs -- joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday to talk about the company's soirée Friday night in the nation's capital ahead of Saturday night's WHCD.
Hack says the party can accommodate up to 500 ... and it's looking like it'll be packed to the gills -- with staffers on both sides of the political divide, journalists and more looking to hook up with organizers and score an invite.
Mark Geragosis sticking to his guns ... telling us Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is full of it when he says the D.A.'s office and the LAPD worked in lockstep to arrest and charge D4vdwith Celeste Rivas' murder.
The famed defense attorney joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and called BS on some of Hochman's claims from Monday's news conference, where Hochman refuted what Geragos told us -- that LAPD went rogue in arresting D4vd -- on the "2 Angry Men" podcast.
Geragos says Hochman is just trying to put on a united front when, in reality, cops were fed up with a lack of action from prosecutors and moved to arrest D4vd to force their hand.
