My undoing love in the thick of sex, drugs, pornography, and prostitution Shaw, Aiden 1966- creator author. text biography Autobiographies. nyu 2006 First Carroll & Graf edition. monographic eng print x, 308 pages ; 21 cm The star of more than fifty adult films, Aiden Shaw ranks as one of gay porn's all-time favorite performers. His films from Falcon, Catalina, and Studio 200 have brought him international celebrity, including the honor of having Sex and the City writers name their Aiden Shaw character after him. Now, for the first time, the real Aiden Shaw shares in unsparing detail his personal stories about the sex and drugs that have fueled his private life. However, the book also profoundly follows him through a course of rocky and unfulfilling relationships. As Shaw eloquently and often humorously points out, the romantic life of an adult film superstar can be lonely and wanting for love. But not only in the form of a significant other--also love from within himself. The book is equally moving for his revelations about his Irish Catholic upbringing, his open HIV-positive status, and his recovery from a near fatal car accident that left him paralyzed temporarily.
