Sordid Truths: Selling My Innocence for a Taste of Stardom

Sordid Truths chronicles the author’s ascent from being just another broke college boy who dabbled with the idea that he could sell his young body for hard cash, to becoming an internationally renowned adult film superstar. After finishing just one year of his degree, Aiden Shaw was twenty-one and easily lured away from study by the heady mix of sex and money in London. Within a short time on the scene, he was something of a celebrity in his field, having been introduced to wealthy, weird, and wonderful eccentrics and famous - and famously closeted - eurotrash personalities and the celebrated elite. However, working as a rentboy took second place to becoming a gay porn legend after Chi Chi La Rue took Polaroids of the naked and aroused Shaw and launched his career. The rest is history, as is documented in more than fifty gay porn films that won him numerous honors and multitudes of adoring fans. He has also shown that he has other talents, being a published poet and author, and singer. This is a complementary book to his earlier memoir, My Undoing. Also check out his novels.
