Meet the New Yorker who Measures Up to Oscar

READ TIME: 3 MIN.

It ain't easy being hung... really hung.

New Yorker Jonah Falcon, 54, "has made a name for himself discussing his genitalia and claims his penis measures eight inches (20cm) when flaccid and 13.5 inches (34cm) when erect and is 'thicker than [his] wrist'," writes the Daily Mail.

He revealed on a British talkshow in 2021 that he has slept with celebrities including Oscar nominees and Oscar winners. But I can't talk about that."

He continued: "I can't even say if it was men or women – it's a very limited list so I don't want to narrow it down too far. It wasn't Meryl Streep – I'll just leave it at that."

He didn't confirm if at those meet-ups he measured his penis against an Oscar statuette, but comparisons are order since the golden award is, like Falcon's penis, is 13.5" in length. Nor his he the first to share a comparible size: In the 1950s, actress Lana Turner had an affair with gangster Johnny Stompanato, and would call him "Oscar" for having a penis that rivaled the statuette. Their relationship came to a bad end when he was stabbed to death by Turner's teenage daughter, Cheryl Crane, during a domestic struggle in their home.

Falcon says he has also slept with many porn stars. "It's a real compliment when porn actors and actresses say I'm bigger than all of the partners they've had," he said. "They view me as the biggest and you have to remember they've seen a lot – so they know."

But Falcon says there is a downside to being so endowed.

While he boasts his size, it has never been independently verified, which has frustrated him.

And he said he was 'sick and tired' of people wanting to see his penis and often felt stereotyped as a bad person.

He told the British breakfast show audience: "For some reason, having 13-plus inches means I'm a bad person, or I'm egotistic, or I'm a porn star, or I'm dumb, or I'm a slut."

Also he must wear baggy clothes to hide his considerable bulge. "I tend to wear baggy or pleated pants to go 'incognito."

His size has also been a problem professionally after choosing not to make adult films, instead focusing on being a working actor in film and television only to learn that his notoriety kept him from getting gigs.

Nor has his sex life been great in the past few years. "For some reason, it's gotten thicker to the point that I can't receive oral sex, and intercourse requires a very slow entry."

'It's [also] harder to get absolutely fully erect – though that's a function of age, I think.'

Being bisexual, Falcon said it often difficult to discern the intentions of people who want to date him, fearing they are seeking him out only to see his penis.

The Brooklyn native recalled first getting attention for his penis when classmates saw him changing in a gym locker room when he was 12.

"By the time he was 13, Jonah claimed his penis had grown to 9.5inches (24cm) and that after attending college, his notoriety spread. By the age of 25, he had been on more than 1,500 dates," writes the Daily Mail.

And while he doesn't do adult films, he sells pics of his penis on the side for $500; and even had sex with one fan for $1000.

His penis has even been a problem with homeland security. Recently he was stopped by LAX airport security after they noticed a "giant, unexplained" bulge in his pants and thought it something else; "I was recently stopped by the LAX airport security for a giant unexplained bulge in my pants caught by a scanner," he revealed "They frisked me and confirmed I was "all natural." This is a normal occurrence with electric scanning devices though."

He previously revealed that he wants to donate his penis to the Icelandic Phallological Museum after his death.
