Known by the aliases David Elliot and The Hedgehog, he was born on March 12, 1953 in Long Island, New York, USA. With impressive physical attributes, specifically a 10-inch penis, Ron Jeremy grew up in Bayside, Queens, born to a father who served in the military and a mother who specialized in secret communication. He graduated from Cardozo High School in Brooklyn in 1971 and later became a high school educator during the 1970s. Interestingly, Ron Jeremy's awareness of his exceptional gift emerged during a summer camp when he found he could perform autofellatio while attempting to tie his shoes. Despite appearing in a school play like "Oklahoma!" at Benjamin Cardozo High School, he was recognized more for his acting than his prowess in the field of sex. Expanding his horizons, he pursued studies in drama and teaching at Queens College but eventually shifted his focus to pursue a career in acting in New York City.
