It's a miracle he didn't die of AIDS decades ago.

If he donates his organs lets pray that at least one of them ends up in the Smithsonian Institution.

Why? Was he engaged in particularly risky forms of behavior (e.g. sharing needles, unprotected sex with other men)? I don't think so.

On a side note, I remember when Ron was on Loveline back in the day (when it was still Adam Carolla). He's a pretty fascinating and intelligent dude. He has a bachelor's degree in education and theatre and a masters in special education.

Speaking of which, Loveline turns 30 this year.

I guess that depends on whether you would add having unprotected sex with hundreds of women, most or all of whom were also having unprotected sex with dozens of men, to your list of particularly risky forms of behavior.

Actually, the [documented] list of porn stars with AIDS is not as large as you'd think as is filled overwhelmingly with gay porn stars.

the dude looked like a heart attack waiting to happen. OK. He had a cardiac aneurysm...not a whole lot of difference in the end.

Apparently though he's a pretty nice guy and fairly intelligent. And you gotta admit. The dude had ONE thing going for him to be in that industry and made a *ahem* huge career out of it. Not a lot of fat hairy guys making that work physical..uh..charms not withstanding.

His Wikipedia page is an entertaining read:

One joke that made the rounds within the industry at the time was "the kinkier acts some actresses would not perform were bestiality, sado-masochism and sex with Jeremy."

That's right, stand up and salute when you say Ron Jeremy and be glad you live in the United States of America! Now drop and give me 20!

I think you and grumpybear would feel more comfortable over at the BYU board where the raciest posts involve chatter about virtual sister wives showing some ankle.

You can recognize that statistically gay sex is riskier than straight sex without being homophobic, btw.

Porn stars are generally a very clean population, generally.

Wasn't intending to imply that straight sex is as risky as gay sex...was merely reacting to the definition the previous poster proposed for "risky behavior" that seemed to omit at least one type of behavior I would think is/was risky. Also, I wouldn't assume that all the male actors with whom Jeremy's co-stars were performing limited themselves to straight porn....um, not that I know anything about porn or anything like that.

That's what I was trying to imply, but was worried that if I was too direct about it, someone would call me homophobic. Hell, some of my sassiest boyfriends have been gay . . . i kid, i kid

Apparently the odds of contracting HIV from an HIV positive woman is between 1 in 300 to 1 in 1000, provided you use the front door. The real risk factor comes from getting reamed in the behind (some say chance of infection is as high as 1 in 10).

Which means that if you engage frequently in unprotected straight sex with HIV positive women, your chances of contracting it after a couple of years are pretty high.

And those of us of even older "certain age":



I still remember marching down several blocks with my entire fifth grade class to see Disney's "The Living Desert" at the old tower. RIP

Wrong. You might want to check out this excellent documentary on that very subject:
