Students and faculty filled Baker University Center Ballroom as adult film star Ron Jeremy and pastor Craig Gross debated the porn industry. While some left satisfied, others left wanting more.
The room was filled to capacity, waiting for the porn debate to begin. Gross, founder of [url=http://www.xxxchurch.com/]www.xxxchurch.com[/url], was the first to be introduced by moderator Gregory Janson from the College of Human and Consumer Sciences, followed by Jeremy, who has starred in over 1,800 adult films. Speakers were allowed 12 minutes for their opening arguments.
Both speakers stood their ground on topics including the objectivity of women in porn, children watching porn and the affect of porn on couples' sex lives.
Gross said he started his Web site for people who do not want to see porn and want to get away from it.
Rather than take away their right
I want to help those who don't want to see it Gross said.
He said porn isn't real and creates a fantasy, but he doesn't want to censor or argue about it, he wants to help those who don't want to watch it.
Pornography is a fantasy Gross said.
Jeremy said porn is part of the wide world of entertainment, and nothing more, nothing less.
It is a darn fantasy
that is the idea
he said.
The Great Porn Debate was the third in the Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll Hot Topic Debate Series, sponsored by Baker Programming.
After the debate, students swarmed around the speakers, asking additional questions and wanting signatures and pictures.
