He wasn't always the fat slob he's been the past 20 years or so. He had already made a name for himself in the industry, but be honest the men in porn movies are second fiddle to the female, who is pretty much always the reason men watch porn. He branded himself, built a name for himself and people started buying porn to watch Ron Jeremy plow porn actresses.

I'll co-sign on what some other people said, he's pretty funny (In a Catskills comedian kind of way). In fact the dude seems to be really into comedy (the guy is in The Aristocrats) and I'm sure has spent time hanging out at comedy clubs and spent time hanging out with comedians, and as a result probably explains why he is the go to joke for "look at what the chicks get to look at when they watch porn" jokes and as short hand in comedy for a well endowed man. He's probably one of the few men from his generation of porn stars still alive after the cocaine and AIDS epidemics (plus, some of his peers probably just plain old retired because you can't do porn forever). As a result he gets to be one of the flag bearers of that kitschy era of porn. He knows how to market himself and play up his image. Plus he has an MFA in acting, so when he got mainstream acting opportunities he would most likely be better equipped (ba-chick-a-waw-waw) to take advantage of them. Fun fact: Ron Jeremy once taught Special Education in NYC. When Ron Jeremy came to my hometown to make an in-store appearence to promote his brand of rum. This appearence was promoted in our local free publication, Worcester Magazine. The interviewer asked Ron to compare teaching special ed to the porn industry. Ron tactfully compared teaching to Hollywood by comparing teaching to acting (since the best teachers are the ones who make their class almost a performance instead of dryly deciminating information). This was then followed by a very douchey and smarmy question (which I think is what he was going with with the previous question) when he asks "So were some of the students you taught smarter than some of the some of the people you worked with in porn?" Which is a real asshat move. "Hey Ron, who's dumber, the special ed kids you taught or the people who have been your peers, colleagues, and friends for almost 40 years?" I included a link to the interview below. worcestermag.com/2012/10/04/two-minutes-withron-jeremy-172479931/10069

He branded himself, built a name for himself and people started buying porn to watch Ron Jeremy plow porn actresses. I would like to add that the documentary about him "Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy" goes into great detail and is very good. Fun fact: early in his career he used his real name (Ron Jeremy Hyatt). He changed his name because people kept trying to call him and wound up calling his grandmother.

Because he could blow himself. The man himself stated that is how he got his first major break in the porn industry!

Another thing to keep in mind: He worked for years (if not was an ownership partner) with one of the first porn studios to bypass plotlines and any semblance of making a movie and just focused on the sex scenes, which increased his movie count tremendously [to the point where by the '90s, he had been in over 1000 movies and got legendary from that alone.)

He was a decent looking guy when he was younger. Aside from having the required "equipment" he was dependable, not only in a sexual sense, but filmmakers could rely on the fact he was a professional and stable dude who wasn't going to cause any kind of grief. In a sense, it's a credit to the industry that they stuck with a guy who didn't look like a conventional porn star, because they valued his work ethic. Plus, as mentioned before, he seems to be a pretty decent guy in real life too, so I'm sure he's built up a lot of goodwill in the business.

The same way Stan Lee is a legend - a ton of work in his prime and smart marketing to endear himself to fans later in life.

He still films scenes with girls young enough to be his granddaughter. Good work if you can get it, I guess.

There are many reasons but having a 9 and 1/2 penis certainly helped.

nobody watches straight porn for the men.
also, he always came off to me as a pretty affable and approachable fellow, which always helps fan opinion.
