Talk:Jonah Falcon

Height

According to IMDB he is 5'9. please check it and edit if necessary

He may be a trainwreck in progress, but this article is hardly NPOV:

• The article claims both that his body is 'modest' and 'pudgy'.
• The 'border on homely' and 'living at home with his mother' slurs are clearly unrelated to the rest of the article and are an attempt to demean Falcon.
• The article claims that he has only 'one outstanding attribute', though there's no evidence to support the claim that the attribute for which he's famous is the only one which is 'outstanding'.

Need I go on? And really, is Jonah Falcon enough of a celebrity to merit an article on here?

Well, the "modest" and "pudgy" and "border on homely" are POV, but he does live at home with his mom. I have a friend who dated him and is still friends with him. --24.251.68.181 07:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

LOL I am glad wikipedia has real important articles such as this one Prof richards 23:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree, this seems like a ridiculously unimportant article, and the sources given for it are certainly not reliable, (Like the Rolling Stones article: "Having a large penis is tough, but it is my duty to the Yankees to wear tight pants"), plus the ironic fact that one of the sources he gave claims he doesn't like to mess around with his article on Wikipedia.

Ripped Off

This is a direct rip-off of the Rolling Stone story.

Wiki might like 'open source' but Rolling Stone surely will not.

Biased

I agree it's biased against him.

Agreed, not NPOV, maybe the author is just jealous: "... clearly show that he no more than 15 inches when comparing to the length of his forearm". 212.79.87.141 09:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Obsessed YES Board Member Editing

Some obsessed YES Network board member is trying to attack him by editing the last line.

Okay then...

Please refrain from personal attacks, on other posters or the subject of the article. Thanks. NickBurns 02:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Just took a few more things out of the article - I'll reiterate what's at the top of the page: This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Negative material that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. NickBurns 02:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Needs work

Having just watched a documentary on Jonah Falcon on British TV last night, I can't help feeling that this article really fails to do justice to the man. The documentary is the only source of knowledge that I have about the man, but this article has no comment on the difficulties with his sexuality, or the enormous length of time he spent as a professional on the New York club circuit in the 90s (the comment about him declining to act in porn seems slightly disingenuous). I can't help feeling that there is a lot more information about the man that is in the public domain that a well written article (by someone who knows more about him than me) should include. Legis 08:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Legis - to the best of my knowledge, other than the HBO special, there was only one Rolling Stone article, and it was focused on his endowment, if you will....I think it missed much of what you suggest. If you have seen a documentary on him, you may have more info than those of us in the States. NickBurns 13:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Update

Just did work on Definitely Maybe as a Clinton Campaign worker. Since it's frowned on to add material in your own bio, feel free to add it however. 67.100.144.18 19:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Image

Randomly came across an image of him, not suitable for the article so I'll leave it here for reference for future editors. Image (nsfw)

Erect?

Are there any erect pictures of him? I can't find any. 68.0.113.54 00:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Have fun. [1]

The linked picture was moved to [2]. As you may have guessed from the URL, it's just a picture of a rock. ;_; If JAF1907 is really Jonah Falcon, he could just take a picture of his own erect penis and post it under a free license. Since he hasn't done that, he probably doesn't want such a picture on this article. Herorev (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

loss of consciousness?

Due to the massive amount of blood that is needed to achive a full erection, Falcon tends to lose consciousness before a full erection is obtained. Film star and porn pioneer John C. Holmes experienced this same problem.

This sounds more like a joke than anything else. If nobody has a citation for this, it probably should be removed. dougmc 20:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually it is not a joke. Several porn actresses have said that John Holmes never got fully hard due to the impending blackout. Actress Bunny Bleu, in the documentary "Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes" said that John could not get fully erect due to the blood loss issue and that "doing it [having sex] with John was like doing it with a soft kind of loufah." Since Falcon's penis is somewhat longer than Holmes', and he is shorter in stature, Falcon could possibly be even more susceptible to this problem than Holmes.

That may be so, but let's leave it out of this article until we get a verifiable source for it. -Will Beback · † · 00:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

What would consitute verifiable proof? The citation in Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes was in an award-winning, thoroughly researched documentary. Seems to be a pretty decent source but I am new to Wikipedia.

Proper verification would be a reliable source that says "Falcon tends to lose consciousness before a full erection is obtained". John Holmes and his medical problems have nothing to do with this subject. We cannot extrapolate, based on relative size and height, about what issues we think the subject has. -Will Beback · † · 00:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I now get your point. Since I see that Jonah has posted here before, maybe he can weigh in on this subject as a definitive source. If he has not lost consciousness, of course.

From the (cough) horse's mouth: No, I don't lose consciousness, and Mr. Holmes lost consciousness due to the illicit substances in his body during filming. JAF1970 17:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I commited suicide?

Oh my God! I commited suicide? When did this happen? JAF1970 15:42, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Yesterday, according to User:Yungleek. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 18:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Dammit. I promised I wouldn't commit suicide until AFTER my birthday. It screws up my birthday party on Sat. (Yes, I know Sat. is the 28th, but no one is free on Sunday, the bastards.) JAF1970 21:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Problem with penis size information

The information in this article is used as criterion for inclusion in the list at Human penis size#Men famous for their large penis as well as Category:Men with unusually large penis. Now, more than 50 names have been included, and there have been objections raised strong enough that both the list and the category are currently targeted for deletion. Placing this posting uniformly on the talk pages of the articles concerned, I would firstly encourage editors to make sure reliable sourcing is provided to support the claims regarding penis size. Secondly, editors might wish to involve themselves in the discussions taking place at Talk:Human penis size and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. __meco 13:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I removed some unsourced material. There is alot more that needs to be removed or tagged it seems. Anyways, --Tom 17:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

And I restored it, with sources. JAF1970 23:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I tried to match the material to the source. Also, I removed the See also link because it is a redirect to another page, thanks! --Tom 13:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe its time to nuke this article and start from scratch?? I removed more material that was cited to a blog. There is still alot of material to be sourced or removed it seems, anyways, --Tom 13:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I was measured on camera and it's official. Do you need me to give you the publications that have confirmed it? JAF1970 (talk) 00:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I want to see the camera. And for anyone who claims that the amount of hits on Google he gets is a reliable indicator of his notoriety, look up any other random popular name followed by an animal. Example: Ronald Fox.

I've been measured by several sources. JAF1970 (talk) 12:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Talkin Yankees

I came here (curious about his appearance on yesterday's Sternshow) on a google cache.. I must admit I object to the truncation of the Talkin Yankees section. Yes we can do without the Yes flaming.. but there was much pertinent information that has since been removed. Many people would never know who this is outside of NYC if not for the Sirius Prank calls. (No offense to you JAF).169.132.18.249 (talk) 19:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
