From Porn Sets to Pulpits: A Gay Christian's Story of Surviving the Sex Industry

"I deceived myself to believe that I was being
empowered."

Aaron Crowley was attending college in LA when a talent scout for
a gay porn studio reached out to him with a proposition. Being
short on cash, Aaron said yes. He spent the next few years doing
gay porn, thinking it was empowering and providing him control
over his own sexuality. But that’s what the porn industry wanted
him to think. Deep down, Aaron felt degraded, exploited and
unloved. It wasn’t until he heard the words “Jesus loves you” he
made a change that set him on the trajectory to find his true
purpose. https://letsnottalkaboutit.com
