In 2005, aging porn actor, Ron Jeremy, was among the line-up for the Erotica Expo in Auckland.
The following billboard, promoting the Expo, features Ron Jeremy alongside the text, "A face only a mother could love... and 5,868 other women. Meet the legend — Ron Jeremy."

The "5,868 other women" is the number of women Jeremy is alleged to have had sex with.
Erotica boss, Steve Crow, is alleged to have had sex with over 500 women.1
Putting aside the obvious score-keeping, and the spurious notion that paid sex equates to "love," having high numbers of sexual partners is considered a high risk behaviour by sexual health experts.
This type of advertising should be deemed socially irresponsible.
