[edit] Penis

Falcon gained considerable media attention after appearing in the 1999 HBO's documentary Private Dicks: Men Exposed, in which men were interviewed in the nude about their penises. He also gained additional coverage after Rolling Stone did a feature story on him in June of 2003. Falcon was reported as claiming in the article that his father was legendary porn star John Holmes, but "family members scoff at this suggestion" and Falcon himself retracted it. He said that he had mentioned a rumor to the writer of the article, which the writer attributed to fact.

In early 2006, he appeared in a documentary by UK Channel 4 called 'The World's Biggest Penis', and appeared in a Closer Magazine's shoot with model Jodie Marsh. His large size also led him to several notable appearances on the Howard Stern radio program.[1] He appeared on the Playboy Sirius 108 radio channel show Night Calls on February 23, 2007, where Ginger Lynn stated his penis was far larger than her former porn partner John Holmes'.[2]

Falcon's penis has been described as 9.5 inches (24 cm) long when it's in flaccid-state or soft and 13.5 inches (34 cm) long when it's in erect-state or hard . In the erect state the circumference of his penis has been estimated at about 8 inches, meaning that his erect penis approximates the dimensions of an Italian pasta rolling pin. However even in the "erect" state the measurements are unclear. Due to the massive amount of blood that is needed to achieve a full erection, Falcon risks losing consciousness before a full erection is obtained. Film star and porn pioneer John C. Holmes experienced this problem.

Falcon believes his penis is "perfectly formed", a claim more than one urologist has ascribed to, with a 15° curve downward after the first 6 inches (15 cm) -- Joey Arias had described it as "yam-shaped".
