He was already sick right on the picture at 3:08??

That photo was taken at the Consumers Electronics show before John tested positive for HIV - probably around 1983 when John had started using cocaine again. The photo that follows it was taken after the one of John and Ron Jeremy.

Did anyone around John ever try to get him into rehab? I have to feel that he could've been saved. Maybe it's just me?

[alifemeasuredinches]

Our book does address this question. I don't want to spoil things for people who have yet to read "Inches", but we asked Bob Chinn and Julia St. Vincent, specifically, about intervention and rehab. John was an extremely addictive person, so it is tough to determine if he could have remained indefinitely clean. Interestingly, John did get clean for extended periods in the 1980s - also covered in detail in the book. ;-)

Wow, very interesting...

[denisethepainter]

Laurie should definitely have been consulted.

I got a wild theory. I don't think this cat died of that disease. Here's why, no one, including his wife caught it from him. Bare backing and all. Then there's the fact no one was allowed to see him or pics. Then the rush cremation. I say witness protection program. Maybe lol

[dmohr7]

i read that it was almost nine inches when flaccid when some fella did an autopsy so hed be way over 11 inches for sure ;/

@geogodley itd be difficult if i were a man & had done so many drugs that doesnt help the penis is like a sponge evn engorged & that large id bet it would be overwhelming to be all 13 erect shoot looking at it would make me pass out

[fardaypu]

thanks this is a side we never get to hear truefully. i can hear a earth mother talking his ex wife's

voice. no one life is simple, or straight forward

.. as for boogie nights- good movie , pushed all the buttons( started happy , ended sad, got happy once more) but how can a Hollywood movie be made about the truthfully life in porn?.Pretty woman: is some peeps idea of what a hookers life is.so pretty mark w was cute & he got to live in end, hooray for holly wood.

[MediaWatchDawg]

It's an interesting story. I lived only a couple miles from the Wonderland location.

But if the truth be known, check out clips on xtubedotcom and decide for yourself if "The King" were 13 inches.

Holmes was a scumbag he had unprotected sex with people when he knew he had HIV, he was a drug addict a thief, was involved in brutal murder and had sex with men for money.Thats the reality.

@MrGibstrat Dude, not all dudes who are well-endowed get plenty of women. 

[ritter89]

@MrGibstrat You're either extremely young/naive or extremely shallow and thick. "Why would you do coke if you had such a monster cock"??? Please tell me you're kidding. Were you born with a micro penis or something? The whole point behind this book and conversation is to clarify John Holmes as a person and dispel the myths and nonsensical hoopla that surrounds the man's history. He most likely developed addictions b/c people (like yourself) saw him only as an appendage rather than a person
