After Studious Pursuits, Adult Star Aiden Tyler Makes Up for Lost Time

Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 11 MIN.

Aiden Tyler is on RentMen, OnlyFans, JustFor.Fans, and RFC ("Raw Fuck Club"), where he describes himself as an "Adventurous and kinky guy working his way through the world one dick at a time"). He's also got an Instagram account, where you can see some mild content, and an X account, where – true both to the platform's single-letter name and Elon Musk's somewhat dubious claim to be a "free speech absolutist" – a certain amount of explicit footage can be viewed, mostly as an enticement to head over to his paid content and see more.

He's made more than 100 films over the past six years – in an interview he recalled making his first movie with UKhotjocks.com in 2017 – and he's been especially active over just the past few years, displaying a versatile set of skills and prodigious talents.

"I suppose I'm a bit of a jack of all trades," Aiden tells EDGE. "I've done quite a bit of kink and leather stuff, but I'm not an expert in it, and I've done stuff that's generally vanilla and run of the mill. I tend to focus on the authenticity of it. I'm not promoting a fantasy or promoting a false narrative about things. I just go in, and I do what I find fun."

Fun for this social animal means cultivating relationships with some of the hottest talent in the business and then collaborating with one, two... perhaps as many as nineteen!... other randy guys (as in a particularly frisky RFC video).

But Aiden is more than a cute face and a well-defined body. He's also a scientist with a trio of degrees and a resume that includes work with Britain's National Health Service.

Aiden is the son of a U.S. serviceman and a British mother. Born in Suffolk, England, he grew up as a military brat, with his father stationed in Virginia and other places in the U.S. and Europe. At age 22 he returned to England, and now he's based in Manchester – though that might be something of a loose term, since he doesn't have home of his own these days. He's far too busy traveling around Europe, and the world, meeting up with new collaborators and having adventures.

It's afternoon by the time we talk, and Aiden has only just gotten up. The night before, he explains, was a late one... and looking at his X account, it's easy to see why: He's been booked that weekend for live appearances on stage at a gay club in London's Vauxhall area, which is all part and parcel of his itinerant life.

"I just went through Berlin, over to Barcelona, and then back to London," Aiden explains. "And now I'm now heading home, back up north to Manchester."

The combination of travel and sexual adventure, he tells EDGE, are a way of making up for what, to him, was time lost from living to the pursuit of his degrees.

"I basically just spent the last 10 years studying," Aiden explains, "so when my OnlyFans took off, I was like, 'You know what? I didn't really do a lot of this stuff in my 20s.' When I finally got some money together it was like, 'Okay, I'm just gonna take off and I'm gonna travel to all the places that I really wanted to go' – which has been good, because doing the content thing on the side, you can write it off your taxes, so I always try to do something everywhere I go.

"And primarily when I first started, it was just kind of around Europe, mostly to Spain," Aiden continues, "and this past year, I just went and traveled around the States for about 10 months just to see old friends and people I just been chatting with. Both JustFor.Fans and OnlyFans has been a bit of a boon in that way."

Though his career's been gaining momentum recently, his interest in erotic content, and in creating it, started at an early age.

"Growing up with the internet, I probably started watching porn when I was like 12 or 13," Aiden relates. "You grow up seeing all these really attractive men on screen, and it's like, 'Wow, I'd really love to meet them.' So, I think from the time that I was like 17, it's like, 'Okay, I really want to go do porn and whatever else'."

Aiden waited until he was of legal age to start investigating the possibilities of appearing in adult entertainment. In the meantime, he did some modeling. But as soon as he was of age, he looked to answer his calling.

"I did actually apply to some studios when I was 18," Aiden reminisces. "I think kink.com hit me back when I was, like, 21, but I wasn't prepared to go to L.A. or San Francisco, or whatever." Another reason he held off was the priority he gave his studies. "I was actually living back in Virginia, where the in state tuition was still valid," Aiden says, adding, "there's nobody to really meet around there. When you're just trying to live off your student loans, you really don't have the opportunity to travel and try meet people."

Then, at age 26, he took the plunge.

"I came back here [to the UK] for the summer, and I reached out to studios, and one in Manchester hit me up," Aiden details. "So in 2017 I did a couple with them, and then [worked them some more] the next year, in 2018. So, I'd actually done a few studio things prior to finding out about Onlyfans."

Once he struck out on his own, he found that being a content creator can be an inherently thrilling line of work.

"When I started reaching out to people, I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd really love to meet these people,' and they reciprocated and got back to me and I was like, 'Oh, wow, okay, this might be an actual outlet for doing that'," Aiden narrates. "I mean, like, I had just started, I was nobody at the time, and all these kind of well-known professionals were like, 'Yeah, come meet me.' So, I started taking trips down to London, met with a few people.
