NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Jet Set Men exclusive Aaron James, a self-described "gay for pay" porn star, will sit down with talk show hostess Tyra Banks Thursday to discuss what it's like to be paid to have sex with other men on camera while otherwise maintaining a heterosexual life.
James, the star of such Jet Set titles as Jock Tease, Ass Cruisin' with Aaron James, Hollywood Sex Club and On Fire!, is expected to talk about the tension his career choice creates in his relationships with women. He also is expected to talk about the conflicts his film career has caused with his family.
James, 24, reportedly also will talk about being followed for months by an MTV film crew who captured his every move for a segment of the network's series Real Life.
Fellow Jet Set model Kurt Wild (Proven Straight), who made news of his own last year when he was fired from his job as an assistant manager at a fast-food restaurant after a customer complained about his career in porn, also will appear on the show. Wild, who is married with two small children, recently said that while he was excited about his appearance, it was difficult to talk on national TV about the effects his porn career have had on his life and family.
Both James and Wild have performed in videos for Jet Set Men's Straight Edge Web series, which often focuses on performers who maintain or appear to maintain a "straight" life outside of porn.
The Emmy Award-winning Tyra Banks Show, now in its third season, is syndicated nationwide on local broadcast stations covering 95 percent of the media markets in the U.S. The show also is shown on the Oxygen cable network.
