Is it true that the size of a man's and can determine the size of his penis?

Rain dancer, John Holmes, who died years ago, had a penis that was about 12 inches in length. His thumbs must have been tremendously oversized.

tee hee. I wonder if it was even thought of then, to measure the body parts in relation to penis size. But anyhow...I found this little tidbit about his penis and the extra length that some of his other body parts had....but no mention of the thumb/wrist ratio. I say we exhume his body and dedicate it to science! ;-)

"Just how endowed was he?
Despite his acting ability, what made Holmes famous was the reported size of his penis. At the start of his cinematic career, Holmes was widely publicized as having a penis ranging from 12.5 to 15 inches (31.8 - 38.1 cm), though adult stars routinely exagerate their measurements. Further, in his early loops the taller-than-average Holmes (who stood 6'2") performed with a many women who were rather short, about 5'2" (~157cm) in height or less; this is another possible source of the variations in measurements.

Regardless, the larger figures are certainly popular myths. Holmes' first wife recalled him claiming to be 10 inches (25.4 cm) when he first measured himself, though the reliability of self-measurement is notoriously suspect. A recent attempt at discerning his length by comparing images of his penis to images of his other body parts produced a figure of 8.75" (22.23 cm). However, this estimate contains a fatal flaw in that Holmes' body was not as normally proportional when compared to accepted medical and military medical standards - specifically, his forearms were approximately 2" (2.54cm) longer than the standard, and both femurs and tibias were longer by the same proportion.

Without access to a full coroner's report - much which is still sealed and exempt from an FOIA request - is likely that the true figure will never be known."

Rain Dancer, that was the wrong John Holmes. I meant the porn star. A Google search says that his penis was 13 inches long and he had sex with more than 10,000 women. He died of AIDS.

I got to post 35 before I had to throw a comment in, but so this may be way off topic by now...but anyway...

>>but seriously, this seems to be a stubborn topic. It was no surprise that all but one poster said no in this thread. Not because this forum has a strong pc leaning, but because most people automatically are convinced it can't be possible.<<

Maybe it isn't because they aren't convinced or can't believe it? Maybe it's because in most people's experience there IS NO correlation.

You're talking about a sample of 3500 men in the survey. It took three and a half THOUSAND men to show up a small trend. As far as I know there are few women that have slept with 3500 men. Thus there is no significant correlation amongst the sample set that most women have experienced. So while it might be true in theory, in practice few women will ever notice or experience the correlation. Which brings us back to why most people answered "No" and didn't want to change their minds. They've NEVER see it for themselves.

>> I'm 6'0" tall, without shoes on, and had a 6.25" long penis by 4 3/4" girth at the base and 4.5 mid shaft point. <<

Well, there you go. You're an anomaly.

I must be one too. I'm 6.25" inches "non-bone pressed" and I'm 5'7". I'm (off the top of my head) about 7" or a little more "bonepressed".

Just goes to show that any woman that had slept with you and me was already being misled despite the apparently significant statistically trend for height to mean larger penis size.

Gigi...I see where you got the idea. Look further down in the link. That was him where it says(actor). Sorry about that, I didn't see the first part of the link. But anyhow, look at this synopsis....notice the aliases... "Big John Fallus" "Johnny Wad." ;-) There was also a pic of him on the site... I'd recognize him anywhere! tee hee

Alias(es): John Duval, Big John Fallus, Big John Holmes, John 'Johnny Wadd' Holmes, John C. Holmes, John Curtis Holmes, Johnny Holmes, Bigg John, Big John, John Rey, Johnny Wadd, Long John Wadd

westridge,

Agreed, it's not a reliable indicator.

It just indicates an increased chance.

About John Holmes, he would make a very goofy face during intercourse, and for some illogical reason the camera would zoom in on his face. Yuck! He wasn't completely hard until just before his climax. I've seen several of his old films before and he was only completely hard in one of those during the entire intercourse session. That was the only one where the woman was yelping. He looked extremely thick and was quite long, but no, not 12" long. I could go along with believing 10". He was a drug addict, and I may be wrong, but I'm thinking it's believed he caught aids from sharing needles.
