About Ron Jeremy...

[Roranora]

I think it was somewhere on here that someone, or a couple of people, mentioned he did some speech/debate with an anti-pornography person at their university. Who/what/when was that?

Sorry for a new thread only for the purpose of asking a question, but I couldn't find it, nor was I even sure I saw it on this forum. Anyway, I'm pretty good friends with our Dean of Student Life and he asked me what I think would get students to fill up our colliseum for something, so I wanted to ask more about this, and how it went for whomever. Thanks in advance.

You're thinking of the Pornography Debate Featuring Ron Jeremy and Susan G. Cole. It was at a lot of different colleges in 2003-2006.

Pornography Debate featuring Ron Jeremy and Susan G. Cole
Are you an avid porn fan who finds nothing wrong with
explicit sex in media? Do you think that pornography
exploits sexuality? Whether you’re a porn fan at heart or
an anti-pornography activist this is one debate you don’t
want to miss. This debate is an opportunity for the campus
community to discuss pornography and get insight from well
known figures of both platforms featuring, porn star Ron
Jeremy and anti-pornography activist Susan G. Cole. Each
will defend their perspective of the pornography industry
and the audience will have the opportunity to pose
questions to both debaters. A book sale—Power Surge: Sex,
Violence, and Pornography by Susan G. Cole $15 and Porn
Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy (DVD) $27— and signing will
follow.

DARTMOUTH -- The issue of sex isn’t new for a college campus, but the presence of one the adult film industry’s biggest stars and an anti-pornography activist helped bring the discussion to a climax.

Susan G. Cole, senior entertainment and books editor for Canadian news and entertainment weekly NOW Magazine, and pornography film veteran Ron Jeremy argued their case about the impacts of pornography on society during the second installment of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth debate series on sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll.

In opening the debate, Cole told the packed Main Auditorium that pornography has made it harder to stop violence against women while also exploiting them for sex and money.

She said of the thousands of women who have worked in the pornography film industry, only a few have become successful.

"We should do all we can to show women as human beings -- porn doesn’t do that," Cole said.

In rebuttal, Jeremy said the problem is one that lies in mainstream Hollywood, saying that the few women who get the break to appear as an extra in a mainstream film or attempt to break into a profession such as modeling are often only able to make their mark by sleeping with a modeling recruiter or a film producer first.

He argued that rather than being viewed as dehumanizing, pornography should instead be viewed as "consenting adults having consenting sex. Nothing more, nothing less."

He said the pornography film industry has actually worked to stop fringe niches such as child pornography and bestiality out of the genre’s mainstream, and that hard-core violence has no place in the mainstream pornographic film industry.

He countered Cole’s claims that pornography films encourage violence, arguing that many R-rated films contain much more violence, often of a sexual nature.

While the differing views of Cole and Jeremy were apparent throughout the night, the first question from a UMass Dartmouth student showed just how opposed the two are on the impacts of pornography.

After the girl asked for Cole and Jeremy’s thoughts on why woman want to be called "whores or bitches" in the bedroom, Jeremy responded that he liked the way she said it, to which Cole groaned in disbelief and chastised her opponent for treating the girl with such an answer.

"I have no problem with women wanting (sex), but to have to put it in pornographic terms, I have a problem with that," Cole said. "When I hear women saying things like that, I feel like we have thrown in the towel."

In a more serious response, Jeremy argued that he sees it as nothing more than role playing between two people, adding that there is no place for using the same language about women outside of the bedroom.

Along with debating some of the questions from students, both Cole and Jeremy also took a few direct questions, including one that led Jeremy to discuss the type of women that typically go into the pornography film business.

Despite popular belief, Jeremy said, the industry does not attract women who are addicted to drugs or have a past history of sexual abuse. Instead, it opts for women who are willing to work on a schedule and treat the job as work.

"We don’t want any sad stories in porn," Jeremy said.

In responding to a question later in the debate, Cole said she had heard enough about "women stripping in bars to get a sociology degree" and that in the end, the pornography film industry has "chewed up and spat out thousands of girls."

"Pornography provides women with a lot of attention, but that’s not the same as true power," Cole said. "I’m disturbed that people see women in porn as having freedom."

He came to our school last year, and a couple of friends and myself attended just because it's fucking Ron Jeremy in our school. Until he got into his political bullshit, his little comedy routine was funny as all hell, and awkward for my female friends that were with me at the time. =P

About two years ago I was in this pharmacy in Van Nuys, this one guy in front of me were getting some pain killers. I started to notice the guys work there was actng strange w/ shits and giggles and funny faces. The man was pretty happy when he got his meds and left.

[kisada]

even more off topic then:

My cousin's husband is a personal trainer, and he tends to meet a lot of people in the porn industry. He met and is friends with Julian, if anyone knows him. Her family though, owns a donut shop in southern california, and because her husband was friends with julian, his producers contracted out the shop to use as a set in one of his movies.

So they closed off the shop and filmed the scene (my other cousin watched lol), and julian banged some girl in the place where people go to get their morning coffee and donuts.

The best part though, was that the actress had a special glazed donut at the end of the scene (seriously). hilarious

[Epical]

I'd hardly call her an actress.
