John Holmes

[Jeffin90620]

I remember this scene from "The Erotic Adventures of Candy".

The buxom blonde is Carol Connors, who played the Nurse in "Deep Throat" (her scenes were with Harry Reems, also known for a very large endowment). She is the mother of actress Thora Birch (most known from the movie "American Beauty").

John Holmes was in fact, my first introduction to what a huge dick really was, and it's forever embedded in my memory

Now that sounds a painful place a have a cock embedded!

Lmao! I almost fell out of my chair!

Touche!

 

[chavous]

beautiful huge dong. i saw him in a gay video. he tore some ass up.

 

[D_Maurice Mountlilly]

what cracked me up about him was that he rarely came from sex or getting blown..usually he was always strokin' himself off...
oh well whatever works...

 

[newcastlebrown]

ive seen wonderland and its a great movie...never seen any JH porn so that clip was great where can i c more

 

[B_andyo]

pics of his jail days...

I have an old porno mag dated july 68.It shows holmes with desiree costeau and a yardstick.he's hitting 14inches.but...that was well before his 1500 dollar a day cocaine habit took its toll.many fail to realize that cocaine and other uppers shrivel the cock like a sundried noodle.in his early days he was truly the king of porn.

 

[D_HarryNutz]

It's true what the last post said. Once he was hooked on coke and chaining cigarettes he became a shadow of what he was early in his career. I remember seeing videos of women jerking him off with both hands and it was like nothing I've ever seen (or have seen since). Sadly you have to sit through some bad old porno to find him in his prime.

 

[Whopper-lee]

Have always liked watching a horse-hung guy enjoy his cock...it's corny, but there's a lot of cock.
Not unlike Rocco Siffredi, where you can see all of the studs huge hard cock in action, heavy erect when he walks around.....!!!

*********************************************************

I haven't heard or know who Rocco Siffredi is
But, I think to a degree Johnny Holmes, came to a point he hated having such a large dick; forced to show it off to people constantly on demand even when he didn't want to (which I can somewhat indentify with). After awhile, you just want to go hide from the reputation and expectations.
It's kinda like being a trained seal or circus animal or freak; and some people can be so cruel.
I sure this is how and why he stated drinkin and using drugs.
And after they used him and his dick up as much as they could, they kick him to the cruve and even put in jail where I think he may have died there.
Not even the guys in jail would leave him alone about his dick.
They hounded him for autographs and pictures there too.
Sad story.
This is one reason, many guys with really big dicks try to stay away from pron and have a complex....I know.
But, I aint made at those guys who choose to get into pron...more power to them.
My step-dad whipped beat my ass when he saw some nude pictures of me my cousin took and was showing around in Chicago (I was 16 yrs old).
It was actually my step-dad's brother who was tryin to pimp and use me
before I got sent back to Mississippi to live again.
But this is getting off the topic...sorry!

I always found him to be a bit skanky in a heroin user kind of way
,,,but he did pave the way for all to follow

I have an old porno mag dated july 68.It shows holmes with desiree costeau and a yardstick.

While John Holmes was just atarting porn in 1968, Desiree Cousteau didn't get into porn until the mid-70s.

It was a very old mag,and a good many years ago.but it was definately desiree costeau and ole johnny wadd.:biggrin1:

If lex steel's true size is 9"ish and mandiago is 9.5"ish then what is John Holmes true size? and are their dildo size's true to real life?

I was the best of friends with the late Gary Griffin before his passing in 1996. Through Gary I met a man who was on set with the late John Holmes at many of his porn shootings. A great deal of the legend of JH was related to many factors. He was to most a rather unattractive man in most respects. He had a totally forgetable body and few other characteristics that made him memorable in any way. What that did accomplish was to focus all of the viewers attention on his penis which was way above average. The number that the fellow mentioned who was there and knew him was in the area of 9 inches in length.

Often porn stars are hand picked and then an illusion created by camera angles and other photo trickery. The late Scott O'Hara looked like he was absolutely mammoth in size. What was left out was that Scott was only 5'2" tall and never weighed more than 110 pounds in his life. This made the 8.5 inch penis look to be absolutely monstrous. The story of how this is all done was written down in a gay mag a zillion years ago by Scott before he passed away, in a magazine interview.

Jeff Stryker/Charles Peyton is another one who was a complete optical illusion based on camera angles and other photo tricks. When he was first becoming a "hit" in the business he walked in to a bookstore in West Hollywood and came into a conversation with the clerk who evidently we both knew in common. I was introduced to him by the clerk. I am about 5'9 inches tall. I was looking across the top of his head at that time.

Another one who knew that same clerk was an 80's porn kid named "Lance" and I encountered him there many times. He was made to look larger in height than he was by careful usage of props and camera angles. I would guess that "Lance" was no more than 5'5" tall and with great proportion that again made his penis look larger than it in fact was.

Remember that successful porn creates an illusion that gets you off. The creation of that illusion is to give your mind someting with which to make comparisons so that your mind fills in what the camera cannot.

It is really kind of neat how well all of this is thought out. It is something that few think about. Most just watch and enjoy.

Thank you very much fuzzyken:biggrin1:, that was a really insightful answer to my question.

I'd seen a few photos of John Holmes. Scrawny, not too attractive, unkempt, and looked slightly doped.


Reminded me of the one photo I saw of "Long Dong Silver". Ugly.

 

[Coolbill]

Yeah, the JH illusion was pretty good. Better than Mandingo or Lex Steel as both of their dicks come across as very long but not girthy.

JH was scrawny but his dick was meaty and it had a bit of a curve to it, so looked massive. But I still see it and swear it's about 13" and can't believe the claims that it was only around the 9.5" mark. Fantastic magic.

 

[B_Joe Montana]

Both of John Holmes wives said 10 inches so I will believe them and Mandingo is bigger than Holmes period.

 

[John Estes]

Some of you may have come across this before, but I am interested in hearing what people think of this: John Holmes' Penis -- Setting the Record Straight .

Is this a reliable "scientific measurement"? On one hand I want to say it is because he only gives Ginger Lynn's wrist a two inch dimension, but on the other hand I never found that particular scene to be a good demonstration for how big Holmes was and just can't see his dick being more than 8 inches or so in that shot. I think it's very possible that Holmes could've been around 10 inches, but not during that part of the scene.
