Sexual assault and financial desperation were the catalysts that jumpstarted Aaron Crowley’s career in the porn industry. While in porn, he believed lies about his value as a person, false stereotypes about his sexuality as a gay man, and he was closed off to the possibility of experiencing real love for himself.

All of these factors pushed Aaron further into the industry until the end of his porn career. After he was raped during what would be his last scene as a porn performer, Aaron attempted to take his life.
