Retirement Homo: Aiden Shaw

Aiden Shaw is hung like a horse, and in his gay porn heyday (1990-99) he split many an ass completely in two, but in these startling recent photos he looks more ready to part the Red Sea.

It’s a dramatic change of look considering that Aiden looked nowhere near this Hestonian just eight years ago when he made a brief comeback to gay porn in Falcon’s Addiction series, which you can view here.

Quite the renaissance man, Aiden’s adventures are the stuff of legend – just ask him. Born Aiden Finbar Brady in Middlesex, UK in 1966 (making him a spritely 46), he moved stateside in 1990 where as Aiden Shaw he worked mainly with Chi Chi LaRue. His debut novel Brutal was published in 1996 followed by a collection of poems which carried the brutally awkward title If Language at the Same Time Shapes and Distorts our Ideas and Emotions, How do we Communicate Love?

His autobiography My Undoing was published in 2006 and contained Aiden’s reflections on his experiences in prostitution, porn and drug addiction (he did a heap of meth) as well as the time he was hit by a car while lying in the middle of a road in Brussels, Belgium, and ended up in a coma. He’s also a singer, songwriter and a qualified English teacher as well as a model – no wonder a second autobiography was called for, 2009′s Sordid Truths.

Yes there is a cock shot coming.

If there’s ever an Ernest Hemingway themed gay porn film (which I think could really work – Spanish locations, short sentences) Barcelona-based Aiden would be perfect for the lead role.

That, or as Ian McKellen’s stunt double in what would be an interesting new direction, even for Aiden:
