Adult film superstar Aiden Shaw follows up his bestselling memoir My Undoing with a prequel that charts the author’s meteoric rise to becoming the highest paid star in gay adult films.

Sordid Truths: Selling My Innocence for a Taste of Stardom Aiden Shaw





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 the internationally renowned adult film superstar. After finishing just one year of his degree he 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 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.

The author of the bestselling memoir My Undoing and two novels, Aiden Shaw divides his time between New York and London, England.
