Under årets AVN Adult Entertainment Expo i Las Vegas, gikk “The great porn debate” av stabelen. Debattantene; “Pornokongen”, Ron Jeremy og “Pornopastoren”, Craig Gross har møttes til debatt før, og trass de motstridende standpunktene deres råder en uselvhøytidlig tone mellom dem.

Les utdrag fra debatten, som i stor grad dreide seg om hvorvidt og hvordan barn i dag blir preget av pornobransjen (Kilde: PC Magazine).

Jeremy kicked off his opening remarks by referring to pornography as entertainment, not unlike football games. “World of sport versus world of spurts,” he joked to the groans of the crowd.”“Porn is a cheap substitute for sex,” countered Gross. “[It] has become [childrens'] sex ed. It’s a false expectation.”Jeremy insisted that the industry only caters to the over-18 crowd. “We don’t want kids to watch porn,” he told the crowd. Though if they do, he added, there are far worse influences out there — like video games. “[Studies have] found that violent video games are much bigger a negative influence on kids.”

Gross, on the other hand, argued that even while the porn industry may not be targeting children specifically, the Internet has made adult content nearly ubiquitous.”The Internet has changed the game completely. What we used to have to work hard to find, you now have to work hard to avoid,” Gross said. The filtering, Jeremy argued, should be up to the parents. “Parents better start to learn the Internet,” Jeremy said. Gross, it seems, agreed with the sentiment, telling the crowd, “For the most part, kids are smarter about technology than their parents. That has to change.”

Gross did, however, happily take a shot at Jeremy’s own tech savvy, adding, “Ron uses a fax machine. If you want to get a hold of him, you have to send him a fax.”

Hva syntes du? Er Jeremy troverdig når påstår at bransjen kun ønsker 18+, eller faller det på sin egen urimelighet når vi vet hvor mange tenåringer som bruker porno?
