Amazon: Sordid Truths: Selling My Innocence for a Taste of Stardom

Adult film superstar Aiden Shaw follows up his bestselling memoir My Undoing: Love in the Thick of Sex, Drugs, Pornography, and Prostitution with a prequel that graphically charts the author's meteoric rise to becoming the highest paid gay adult film star in the world.

Sordid Truths: Selling My Innocence for a Taste of Stardom chronicles the author's ascent from being just another broke and very horny college boy, who dabbled with the idea that he could sell his young body for hard cash, to becoming the internationally renowned adult film superstar.

Within a short time on the scene Aiden Shaw was something of a celebrity within his field, having been introduced to wealthy, weird, and wonderful eccentrics and famous—and famously closeted—Euro trash personalities and the celebrated elite. However, working as a prostitute turned minor league once gay adult film legend 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 films that won him numerous honors.
