what a "claim to fame"

Only in America.

[GOPisEvil]

1. The hedgehog!!!

:o

Apparently he's a really nice guy, according to a few people I know that have met him. :shrug:

[CatWoman]

2. I don't doubt that he's nice

but don't you think having a big wang isn't exactly what constitutes "talent"?

[GOPisEvil]

3. Having it is not the talent.

Knowing how to use it is the talent.

Apparently, in addition to knowing what he's doing, he's always on time, never under the influence, and is really reliable. That is why he has a career.

[dr.strangelove]

9. Knowing what he is doing AND is able to perform

Ron is from the pre-pharm age of porn. Viagra was in the porn industry illegally for a few years before it was FDA'd for Bob Dole to sell, but Ron is from the days before that. He has never had problems performing on camera, which is one of the most frustrating parts of the adult film industry. Not much worse than having a crew wait, at over $3,000 an hour for a full crew, equipment and talent, while the male performers are trying to "get everything going". Ron has a reputation for always being ready to perform.

[CatWoman]

15. You guys sound like his bloody fan club!!

[dr.strangelove]

4. There is a lot more than "wang"

needed to make it in the porn industry. Of course size matter more in the porn industry than probably anywhere else, but plenty of "big" men have tried and failed to make it in that business. He has a great deal of talent. He is able to convey his "guy next door" type attitude through the camera. He is very charismatic in real life, and is able to portray that charisma on film. Also, I think he is one of the rare male adult film performers who can actually act. He is articulate and I enjoy his writing. He directs, produces and writes adult films. In addition to writing for films, he has published erotic stories. Even if one does not particularly care for adult films or the overall adult industry, I think it is difficult to argue that his only talent is the size of his wang.

[bettyellen]

27. i met him and there was no charm there, he was pretty creepy, needs a wax

job real bad, and from what my friends and i can figure, is a major reason why women don't enjoy porn more. no one gives a fuck how butt ugly the guys are, only the women.
i thought his big talent breakout talent was being able to blow himself? that he needed to learn that totally makes sense to me. :P

[Missy Vixen]

33. Oh, my God

>being able to blow himself<

This thread has been very educational.

:blush:

Julie

[Shell Beau]

34. What?

:o He can do what? :o No wonder guys worship him! :o :o :o :o :o :o

[bettyellen]

43. exactly what i thought too! but i think guys don't, can't realize how ugly

ass fuckers like him are a big reason women don't like porn as much as guys.
it's like in the regular movies, where older not so good looking guys get the babes half their age, just more extreme. i'd rather see the opposite. LOL.

[dr.strangelove]

41. Gotta disagree

I've met him a few times and he has never been "creepy." If you think he needs a wax job, you must think I am disgusting. I don't believe much in waxing.

Are you a fan of adult films? If you are, you comment about the attractiveness of the male performers makes me question which films you are watching. There are obviously several genre of adult films, and in each genre there are various budgets. Big budget mainstream adult films, starring females you have no doubt heard of like Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Sunrise Adams ... usually have extremely good looking men who spend hours in the gym and hit the waxing table before shooting. Low budget films have far less attractive men and women. Also, it is difficult to find male adult film performers, so the supply is very limited, thus some less attractive men make some mid-level budget films. But you will never see a guy who is overweight or "ugly" in a big budget film.

Ron is always the exception, primarily because of the charisma I spoke of. Also, although he has indeed admitted to being able to self-felate, it had not been filmed (that I am aware of). I doubt it is true though.

[bettyellen]

42. well, he was following me around a party, so he was creepy, and overweight

and oblivious to the oh yuck get the fuck away look on my face. not to bust your bubble or anything, but he had white crust on his nostrils, so yeah....what a charmer!

and somehow he manages to work despite that big ass hairy belly. go figure.
i've seen lots of porn over the years, and my mottos has always been , as long as ron j is not in it. because he he has got to be the grossest. but in general the guys are never nearly as good looking. although a lot of the gals are good looking in an unnatural kind of way, at least they don't (usually) have big rolls of fat that ron does. but as you said the guys have got have the skills to perform on demand and women can fake it. so there you go. that explains alot. i always wondered how the hell they ler him in the business. i'm telling you, from a woman's point of view, he's a major buzz kill.

[CanuckAmok]

47. Ah, but he produces most of the movies he's in now.

So, since he produces, he can decide who's in and who's not.

I can see part of his appeal being that he is a middle-aged, average looking (above the waist) guy, and he's nailing all these hot chicks. No wonder he's a bit of a cult hero.

Same can be said for Nina Hartly, who's in her 50s. She still does porn, but because she has "star power". If she just started off in the Biz at 50, there's no way she'd be doing mainstream porn, no metter how good-looking she may be.

FWIW, I don't think many of the women in mainstream are particularly "hot", either. There are a few with genuine beauty, but most hare just augmented average-looking women with all their physical personality shaped and sliced into something generic. Give me a Desiree Cocteau or a Zara Whites any day!

on edit: I tried to "google image" some g-rated photos of Desiree Cocteau and Zara Whites, but there's no such thing!

[bettyellen]

50. i'm sorry, he's friggin ugly, not average looking. nina harley is a looker

for her age, RJ never was. unless he did some stuff years ago and was 35 pounds lighter. five of it, body hair.
:puke:
but you hit it on the head, it doesn't bother guys i guess it makes it easier to imagine them getting some too.. and they don't think of a woman's POV. but it ain't so different from mainstream films and TV where the old fart is always hooked up with a babe.
thank god, my reality is quite the opposite. LOL.

[CanuckAmok]

55. i'm a 38 yer old cumudgeon dating a...

24 year-old-hottie... long live Hollywood!

[bettyellen]

56. reverse that and you have my life.....

but it's really not entirely my choice. if a guy my age has it going on and ain't married, he's chasing the young babes. but i get bored with the younguns pretty quickly, even if they are in general more eager to please than you older guys :sigh:.

[Redstone]

57. Not ALL the guys, BE.

If Mrs R got run over by a bus, the LAST thing I'd want would be some 24-year-old chippie.

Not that there's anything wrong with 24-year-old women...It's just that being more than twice their age, it would be unseemly for me to chase one. No, thank you.

Redstone

[bettyellen]

59. i know what you mean. it would feel unseemly if i chased them

but i don't. what can i say, they seem to follow me wherever i go. :shrug:
i wish more of em, were my age, but sadly no. and it's not the trophy thing it is for guys either, but i ain't ashamed either. i'm only human my dear, if i wait tooo long for the one, i may forget what to do once i find him. :)

[Redstone]

60. I do know what you mean.

I'd try to put the brakes on anyone under 35, though. (How's that for ego talking? Like I'd actually HAVE women in their twenties interested in me in the first place? Dream on, Redstone, you old fart.)

Howsomever, miss BE, you have looks and a personality that are timeless, and you know it's an honest opinion because I'm the only one who will never bullshit you. Were I a guy ten years your junior, the difference wouldn't make any difference to me.

(And yes, I've been there. I never had a particular thing, so to say, for women older than me, but if one came along who seemed right, I never worried about the age gap.)

Good to see you around here; it's been a while.

Redstone

[bettyellen]

61. it's just demographics i guess, there are thousands or pretty little blond

cheerleader types in town. i'm guessing i'm getting all the guys who are sort of fed up up with the princessy cheerleader thing, i dunno. they've sure been coming out of the woodwork lately. it's sweet, flattering, but ultimately nothing i can take too seriously. and i'm very upfront about that, so: no harm no foul, right? at least so far. :P
it's nice to see you, too! yeah, i read i lurk, and sometimes dive in. i was alittle disheartened over some really judgemental bullshit high school careteria behaviour going on here a while back. what a bunch of busybody haters we can be around here. so sad.

[Redstone]

63. I caught wind of the feuding, though I was away for a while because

I had to rest my hands, so typing posts on DU was contraindicated.

Any group of people this large, there are going to be spats and insurrections now and again.

Town full of blonde cheerleader types? Here too, at least during the summer. They don't do anything at all for me. Mrs R thinks I'm just flattering her, but she asks me frequenlty why it is that she, a woman of a certain age, has guys following her around constantly whenever she goes to the store or downtown, when the town is chock-full of those young cheerleader types.

I tell her that it's because you can see one pretty young blonde on this block, then another just like her a minute later on the next block; they're a dime a dozen. But a graceful, black-haired, olive-skinned woman with big, liquid brown eyes, now there's something you don't see every two minutes.

I'm sure that's part of the phenomenon that you are experiencing. The princessy bimbettas are everywhere, but there ain't many women out there with your looks or brains or especially both...yes, guys are pretty shallow, but most of them do like to have someone they can have an actual conversation with.

Good to hear life's going well for you. Hope I'll see you again, probably in the Spring when there's another DU shindig.


Redstone

[bettyellen]

64. i caught enough to see what a bunch of judgemental little biddies we have

slinking around here. my god, they have wild imaginations, and it goes beyond thinking they have a right to but in to and judge people's private, non-posted affairs. sheesh get a life, people! i'm just really disappointed, i guess.

well, thanks for the sweet compliments, Red, btw, i love how you describe your wife with so much affection, too. ah, she's a lucky woman, i know that from meeting you.
nice to see ya!

[Redstone]

65. Thank you, m' dear.

We're hoping to be able to have a little CT / NYC / MA gathering/BBQ here at the house next spring or summer. If we do, I hope you'll be able to come.

Redstone

[bettyellen]

66. i would love to!

thanks for thinking of me. that sounds like fun!

sorry for the rant, but i can't see friends (real people i know) being hurt like that.

[Redstone]

67. The rant's fine. And justified. It wasn't pretty, from what I gather.

I think I owe you a PM from way back. Will try to get to it tomorrow.

Sleep well, my friend.

Redstone

[RandomKoolzip]

6. No. But being able to USE that wang well does.

:hi:

[CatWoman]

21. Hey you.

:hi:

Nice to see you :D

[RandomKoolzip]

23. Backatcha, pal!

Like Shell Beau, I thought this was gonna be about snow. :wow:

[ForrestGump]

7. You dissing my talent?

:P

I guess it's not a lot different, at heart, than an actor or actress (or, worse, 'singers') getting gigs because they are deemed to look good. Or models getting jobs on the strength of their appearance.

More than a few of Hollywood's female icons got their start solely because of their pectoral dimensions: Jayne mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, et al. Not to ay that they lacked other abilities, but thats what got them in the door and rapidly famous.

Truly 9.75"? If you judge by what you see in writings on the Internets and in letters to men's magazines, that's about average. :D

Mine's only half that, truth be told..wait, we are talking about diameter, right? :P

Radius? :o

[CatWoman]

20. hi, Forrest

:hi:

I'd NEVER diss your talents :D

[ForrestGump]

22. Awwwww....

Thank you. Nor I yours, considerable as they are. :loveya:

[KFC]

8. Oh, there is definitely some talent there

Re-read the sentence referring to his dork length.

[Shell Beau]

5. I never knew the exact length!

:puke: A bit too much for my personal taste! :o




And when I clicked on the thread, I thought for sure it was going to be about snow! :o Imagine my surprise! :wow: :P

[Lochloosa]

11. Are you sure

:evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

12. Well, I can't say I know from experience...

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

13. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

GOTCHA!!!! :D

[Shell Beau]

14. You did! Good job!

:thumbsup: :rofl:

[matcom]

16. too much?

:cry:

we can NEVER be together

:cry:


















































:P :hide:

[Shell Beau]

18. Hahahahaha!!

You wish!! :rofl:


:hide:



;)

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Might be.

But only 7.1 inch are visible. The other inches are hidden by his belly. ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Haha!

[Deja Q]

17. I wonder what he's doing today...

At that length, I doubt that a bucket full of Viagra could keep it up...

I like his eyes... though instinct tells me I'd be likin' somethin' else about him... :7

[CatWoman]

19. naughty, naughty

:D

[Elidor]

24. No, his claim to fame is somethng entirely different

But I doubt I can mention it on this board.

[bettyellen]

30. oops, i did upthread.

so, it is true.

[Elidor]

46. No, that can't be true

A man that fat would not have the flexibility to do that.

I saw that documentary about him, and it was claimed that he was one of only two guys in the industry who can have an orgasm on demand. Just tell him when it's time and off he goes.

[bettyellen]

49. i always figured he must have been able when he was younger...

because how else could he get a job like that? good god, how closely do you have to time these things anyway? it always looks like the sex is 5 min long and looped anyway, jeeze. if it goes on for a half hour just film it, whatever. i'm sure a lot of people couldn't do his job, but this myth of extremem talent, well what good is it, if you make women all barfy and turned off? dudes, not worth it.

[Elidor]

54. He certainly ruins otherwise decent porn

It's excruciating to watch the Hedgehog in action. As, I suppose, it's meant to be.

Wasn't his father a nuclear physicist or some such? The family was a tad disappointed with his chosen career, though they're supportive.

[Robb]

25. Oddly enough that's 0.05 rods

:yoiks:

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. I think Mr. Jeremy would contest that

as a "unit" of measurement.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

26. Having never seen one of his movies

I was under the impression it was longer. :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

28. That would be classified as a lethal weapon!

:o



And I have never seen one of his movies either, nor do I want to! :puke:

[Bunny]

29. I've always found it interesting that he was a Special Ed teacher.

[ghostsofgiants]

32. A good reason for American guys to support switching to the metric system.

[pokerfan]

35. Never seen one of his movies

I've seen him interviewed and he seems to have a great sense of humor.

From the wikiarticle: "At 14, Ron Jeremy seemed a volcano of academic talent: he was courted by and flirted with attending New York City's outstanding Stuyvesant High School but opted to attend a local high school instead."

Seems like there are a lot of intelligent people in porn. I've heard of similar stories. How about the self-described "nerd of porn?'



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Carrera

[xmas74]

45. She runs her own website and supposedly very intelligent.

[pokerfan]

51. My kind of girl!

Well, minus the fake boobs and STD's of course.... :P

Most Overpublicized Fact - Yes, I am a member of Mensa, the society for high I.Q. nerds


Plus the unhappy story on how she wound up in porn:
http://www.asiacarrera.com/bio2.html

[xmas74]

53. When you read her site she even makes mention of the boob job!

She tells women that they shouldn't get one unless they are in the adult industry.
She seems like a very smart person who decided to find her own happiness. I have to applaud her for that.

[pokerfan]

58. Good for her

Sounds like she got into porn to find regular hot meals (insert joke here) rather than to support a drug habit. Seriously, it sounds like she was starving from living on the road.

It's also a cautionary tale for parents: don't push your kids too hard. Don't ground them when they bring home a B. Don't beat them when they bring home a C. Sheesh!

Oh, and even if you are in the adult industry, think long and hard about surgery. I just don't find it necessary or all that attractive.

[RedCloud]

36. 60 inches of rigid turgidity right here!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586/

The greatest story ever unfolds:

Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen -- the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan -- drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported.

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.

Quite appropriately this is the sperm whale. I would like to call him "Shorty". "Would" is sometimes hypothetical. As is "wood"!

[Shell Beau]

37. OMG that thing is huge!!!

:o

I love whales, though! :cry:

[RedCloud]

39. fear not, Mother Nature has a plan...

:hi:

[Err]

38. It must be those pills he endorses.

[Throckmorton]

40. Just one night

I wish I was normal

[Inspired]

44. 9.75? What a waste.

[CanuckAmok]

48. I know! I only use the first inch of mine, myself.

everything else is just baggage.

[burythehatchet]

62. I have his autograph on a one dollar bill

got it when he was in Tattletales.

:hi:
