Ron Harris (1933[1] – May 26, 2017)[2] was an American erotic photographer and television director.

Harris was born in The Bronx, and attended High School of Performing Arts.

In 1980, Aerobicise began with a four-minute pilot featuring Harris’ then girlfriend, Jami Allen, later associate producer and voice-over of Aerobicise.[3]

In 1981,[4] Harris created and directed the first erotic exercise show, Aerobicise[5] [6] [7] [8] on Showtime on cable television. Aerobicise was nominated for a CableACE Award and became the highest grossing exercise video series of its time. He later created

Library Of Congress Copyright Collection has 55 Showtime episodes.[9]

In 1983, Harris, who had three children by four marriages,[10] lived in Westwood, California, with daughter Tiffany, 10.[3]

In 1985, Harris wrote the book Aerobicise 20 minutes a day published and distributed by Simon & Schuster in 1986.[11]

The Aerobicise series was released by Paramount Home Video between 1982 and 1995 and was available in LaserDisc, CED, VHS, and DVD formats.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

In 1996, Harris launched RonHarris.com, an adult-oriented website featuring models between the ages of 18 and 24.[17] In 1999, Harris introduced a website ronsangels.com that, according to the BBC, offered "the eggs of eight models for auction over the internet"[18] [19] [20] [21] with bids starting "between US$15,000 and US$150,000, depending on the model". Harris describes his idea as, "Darwin's natural selection at its very best".[22] Critics have stated that this equates to profit-based eugenics.[23] The egg auctioning part of site was a hoax.[4] [24] [25] [26]

In 2013, American Apparel teamed with Harris to create a tumblr.[27] [28] [29]
