A Porn Star's Story

One of the most popular gar porn stars of all time shares how sex and drugs ruined his life. You'll gain insight into the meaning of life.

It means nothing!

There is no deeper meaning, he warns you from the start so read this book for any other reason! Taste him, feel him, touch him, be him, read about a life you do not have! Maybe do not even want! I like him and I love reading his work. I truly enjoy sensing his music, Whatever! Listen to them late at night in your own personal space!

Writer, Musician, Model, Humanist, and oh, by the way, a porn star too!!

Do you remember when you were in school, and the only way you could perceive your teacher was as just that, a teacher? Never was there any thought of the person beyond, Mr., Mrs., or Miss...., they lived only in school, and had no life other than to teach you. In fact, they did and do have lives that go beyond the classroom. They live in homes and apartments, have private lives, eat, drink, sleep, and age just like any other person. In short, they live, for lack of another term, a fragmented life, of which you, the student, were afforded but a narrow view. So to is the life of Aiden Shaw. The porn legend is not just a porn star acting out sex acts 24/7. This book permits the reader to see Mr. Shaw as the complex being he truly is. A talent musician and writer, he also excels in performing before a video camera, and draws the viewer into the fantasy of the video. Viewers must remember that the video is IN-FACT, a fantasy, in which the performers/models/actors do exactly what any main-stream actor or actress does...act! Viewers who see only that narrow aspect of Mr. Shaw are condemning him to the same cubby-hole students slot their teachers. Mr. Shaw HAS A LIFE BEYOND PORN. This book is his effort to explain to any who are willing to read/listen that he is just like the rest of us, i.e., a person who seeks love, is at times insecure, has had passions, disappointments, and tragedies, is a person who longs for fulfillment on all levels, and desires to be understood as a person who is something more than the NARROWLY DEFINED PERSONA his/or/her profession. Teachers are more than just that, doctors are more than just that, and Shaw is telling his reading audience that he is more than just Aiden Shaw, porn stud. I have had the pleasure of reading all of Mr. Shaw's writings. He is not, by any means, a light-weight. Read his fiction, then read his auto-biography. Then you will be able to fully appreciate the creative talent of Mr. Aiden Shaw.
