Cincinnati- A unique opportunity for an exchange of views Wednesday night between a porn star and a Christian website founder gave local college students a front-row seat to the debate over pornography.

Porn star Ron Jeremy and Craig Gross, co-founder of the website XXXChurch.com, “The #1 Christian Porn Site”, debated at the University of Cincinnati Wednesday night.

It’s the latest in a series of debates at universities across the country.

Jeremy’s plane was delayed which caused him to arrive late but he was welcomed by a standing ovation.

“The problem with porn is, he says it creates fantasies,” said Gross. “Let me tell you — and you hear it straight — it creates unrealistic fantasies that, one, if you’re a woman you can’t live up to; and two, as a guy it’s going to taint your view on sex.”

Gross says his ministry isn’t trying to shut down the porn industry.

He says he wants instead to help those people who find their lives empty because of it.

Jeremy, meantime, says it is merely entertainment.

“It’s part of that wide world of entertainment,” said Ron Jeremy. “Nothing more, nothing less.”
