Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Now: a Porn Star

LONDON (Reuters) - In its 183-year history, the august Oxford Union debating society has heard the wisdom of Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) and Mother Teresa.



Now its members are to hear from Ron Jeremy, star of 1,700 adult films, including "Bang Along With Ron."


"Ron is the biggest and apparently the best in the business, so I'm sure he'll have some fascinating stories to tell," said Oxford Union librarian Vladimir Bermant, who organized the event.


Jeremy, who claims to have slept with more than 4,000 women, will address the union on Wednesday, joining many British prime ministers, three U.S. presidents and prominent figures from the Dalai Lama to Malcolm X in its archival guest list.


Peter Cardwell, spokesman for one of the English-speaking world's most respected debating societies, said U.S. porn star Jenna Jameson also addressed the union a few years ago.
