Holmes was ten inches at most. The 12/13 inch claims came from a particular measuring photo that started below the balls. If you look, he's clearly not as long as Mandingo, who I think is eleven inches at most.

Supposedly he was 8 or 9 inches.

But he also used stretching devices which damaged him and cocaine which made him floppy.

I don't think he was longer then 10 inches and no way that he was 15 or 16 inches long.
Because if he was, he would be a giant (in height) and all the women that he fucked would stand well over 6 feet tall.

Holmes was definitely a product of porn advertising spin.

His cock was closer to ten inches than to eight... and I have never read any actual testimony that he used stretching devices. Cocaine did damage his erections but if you follow his early career and have watched his early movies, then you will make the discovery that his erections didn't decline all that much. His penis had an incredible volume to it and if rock hard would have been the footlong penis that he and others claimed it to be. His poor heart just did not have enough blood to fill his enormous balloon-like corpus spongeosum.

8 or 9 inches would be the result of having weak erections, although the coroner who did his autopsy measured his flaccid penis to be over 8 inches. I presume he stretched it out before measuring it.

Do I have to start a John Holmes video thread so y'all can get better acquainted with his size?

when i see him, i see an 8-9 inch shower that was pumped too much and damaged his sponge tissue and maybe even got his tendons cut.

he would sway sideways,that is physiologically wrong.
a little bit would be normal for the weight he had,
but he was like a balloon without a string.

just my opinion and view, i have no proof of any of this.
but i did study anatomy and physiology for a long time
i know the mechanics of the human body and what is "healthy" tissue.
johns cock was mangled....kinda like ramon he got mangled to just not as bad yet.
:biggrin1:just ideas

I remember an article in a magazine in the 70s where someone analyzed a photo of him next to a telephone handset. It said he was right at 8.25, but he was thin, had a lot of girth and, for a long time, was the only large penis in town. I was doing national newscasts the day he died. It was hard NOT to begin the news with: "The largest star in porn has died."
Instead I did a story about how well known he was and that even right-wing religious conservatives, who might CLAIM to have never heard his name nor seen any of his vides, DID know who he was.
Additionally, very early he bought the right to thousands of hours of European porn and became the US distributor and was a nearly user of VHS tape for distribution.

Most be same size as Chad Hunt, but Chad still gets rock hard in his videos. They're huge, but no more than 10"

Yes yes I believe so...and I've never actually seen his cock hard so who knows his true size? I definitely think he is closer to ten at least, and if had some viagra lord knows, but that thing is like a steel bolt that closes the doors at NORAD.

Hello all. Had to throw in what I know about John Holmes. As someone around and who knows a lot of people in the adult industry I can give some real info on this. I know and have talked to a few different former stars and still working women who worked with John back in the day. From what these people have all said, John was in the range of 9.5-10 inches and thick. It is true that he didn't always get fully hard - but as anyone with a true big cock knows - big cocks don't always get fully hard and even then - they can still be considered somewhat "semi". Just par for the course - especially in the day before viagra, cialis, or injectables - which almost all male performers today use regardless of age or cock size.

Add to that, John's drug use and general misuse of his body and that explains a great deal of his less that full erections. Look at some really early work of John - his silent loops when he was quite young and you'll get a chance to see his cock at full staff.

And in comparing to John to Mandingo - who does have a huge cock - but remember that John was a MUCH bigger man. Mandingo is TINY - almost a midget - yes really - so his cock looks truly freakish on him. And John was working with women who were of normal size - as I said before most of todays females are quite small - 5' or under and like 90-100 lbs if that. Of course there are exceptions - but the "big cock" porn tends to love to shoot with these diminutive actresses. And much of todays "big dick" porn is shot with "fish eye" lenses to make the cocks look much larger in comparison to the female talent. That wasn't the case back in the 70's and 80's.

So John wasn't the end-all of big cocks - but he wasn't just throwing around a 7-8 inch cock with hype either.

By the way - later this week I'll be getting together with and fucking a new adult starlet who got in touch with me to have some fun because of my size. She has just shot quite a few scenes with Shane Diesel, Richard Mann, and Boz, among others - so I'll give you guys reports on how they really measure up.

It is funny how Holmes was so incomparably the biggest dong in town ... and nowadays he's still big, but only an also-ran among the most famously endowed.
Thanks to the Internet, we've lost all sense of proportion.
His size? I'm bettin' that he was just a hair over nine inches.

I think that John Holmes was between 8.5-9 inches in length. There's some dudes on LPSG that have beat in both departments (length and girth). His cock is nothing exceptional, but still relatively big.

Hell, my bull fucker is thicker than Holmes.:biggrin1:

May the ghost of the Man, the Myth and the Legend visit all of you in your dreams and slap you right in the face with his GIANT penis.

THE FUCKING CORONER MEASURED IT AT OVER 8 INCHES FLACCID... if you think a corpse can get an erection then you people need a reality check.

Why must y'all hate on a dead man?

He was pretty fucking tall with VERY long legs and arms people... your sense of proportion is simply off.

Did someone say that Mandingo was a midget?

Seriously folks... GET REAL!!!!!!
