Do not adjust your screens.
Another hunky math teacher’s gay adult film past has come to light, and he deserves to be celebrated in all his glory, not punished.
Students at Peacehaven Community School, a high school in East Sussex, made the discovery by Googling their math teacher, Scott Sherwood, and they weren’t remotely prepared for what they found.
The handsome 50-year-old teacher, who went by the name Aaron Cage in his arguably less academic former career, has videos on a number of platforms online. One film’s title gets right down to brass tax: “Aaron Is a Hot British Bear”.
How about we take this to the next level?

We can’t argue with that.
Further Googling revealed that Sherwood spoke openly about his time as an adult film star — he has nothing to hide, nor should he.
In a YouTube video, he said that “for me, becoming a [Colt Studio] model, it was just a dream come true.”
In the comments section, a student wrote: “That guy is my maths teacher his real name is Scott Sherwood. I’m scared”.
Another chimed in: “My old maths teacher”.
OK, we understand how it would be fairly shocking to discover one of your high school teachers was in adult films, but we hope that fear was shortlived.
In 2014, Sherwood gave an interview to the Irish rag Gay Community, under the guise of ‘Aaron Cage.’

He spoke candidly about the problems he witnessed in the industry.
“It’s sad to see, some are turning to drugs, some [attempting] suicide.
“Porn shouldn’t be seen as work. It’s a second job at best. Everyone has a shelf-life. Even me. Trends in porn change.
“I would have been big in the ’70s and finished by the ’80s when everyone was waxed within an inch of their life. It happens. I know that one day, they won’t call.”
He added: “I see all these 22-year-olds with stars in their eyes – thinking this is going to be their career, then finding it’s all over and having their next career options curtailed.
“I was already settled, established. These guys well… well, see the previous question about work drying up.”
Unfortunately, not everyone has such an accepting view of people who’ve worked in the adult industry.

The Mirror reports that since his former life has bubbled to the surface, Sherwood hasn’t returned to the classroom.
Here’s hoping that changes.
In October 2017, another math teacher in Rome was revealed to have been an adult film star.

I have no problem when teachers have an alternate lifestyle. It’s when they pursue it while simultaneously trying to maintain their teaching credentials that I have to draw the line. If they were teaching a course in porn acting for adult pupils who want to join their ranks, I’d have no objection. Teaching occasionally naked acting to juveniles is inappropriate depending on the context of the film. I didn’t see anything wrong with the acting in “Blue Lagoon”, where nudity certainly played a role, but a film where intercourse is taught to minors is beyond the pale… RobtheElder

What is wrong with teaching students and working as an adult film star?
Unless there is some direct overlap (for example; using your classroom to film a scene) I really don’t see what possible issue there could be outside offending someones individual morals. And that has less to do with the teacher and his or her ability to educate children and far more about the offended person needing to learn to mind his or her own business.
This seems more rooted in seeing the adult film industry in a derogatory fashion and less about what qualifies a person to teach.
CastleSF
Anyone who has ever performed in adult films should be automatically disqualified from working in the teaching field. They have lost their moral authority to educate our kids and should find other professions more suitable for their sorts.

CastleSF, I’d rather have a post porn star as a teacher than a Bible thumper, where the teachings of the Bible and Morality have never been good bedfellows!

In CastleSF’s world you can sexually abuse kids as long as your “normal”.

I am sure he has been tormented by his demons and uncontrollable urges. What he really needs is therapy, not jail sentence. Besides, this pastor looks like a decent man and he is married to a woman. It could be his marital problems that somehow tipped him to the other side.

Oh, whatever, Castle. A job is a job. They get paid to entertain adults, so that’s what they’re doing.
PinkoOfTheGange
He was teaching math(s) and PE, not the theatrical arts, and hasn’t shot a loop in a few years.
CastleSF
@Chris, quoting me from a totally different subject and then twisting my intention in a spiteful way, you hit a new low, Chris.
Brian
Yes, he’s quoting you from the subject of sexually abusing underage boys, which is significantly worse than being a former porn star. Yet there you’re showing all sorts of understanding because he looks like a decent man? But the porn star makes you purse your church lady lips, clutch your pearls and call for automatic disqualification. He clearly didn’t twist your intention, he just showed you for the hypocritical, self loathing gay prude that you are. Which we’ve all known for a long time anyway.
The pedophile pastor apologist part is a new angle though. Where your sympathies lie, your proclivities are not far behind I’d imagine. It certainly would explain why you seem so perpetually grossed out by the idea of grown men enjoying their sex lives freely.

If youre going to pretend you aren’t a troll you may want to avoid terms like “Alternate Lifestyle” then again, thank you for making it so easy to spot “Mo Bro’s” new screename.

CastleSF,
“Moral authority”??? What is that? I challenge you to show me the class in a teacher’s training that teaches “moral authority.” Or the exam used to credential teachers which has questions on “moral authority.” And exactly how is this “moral authority” applied when teaching math (or “maths,” since this is British school)? What is moral math vs immoral math?
Go ahead, stay stuck in 1950s Appalachia embroidering Scarlet Letters for your neighbors. But this story takes place in the progressive UK, and they don’t need your regressive morality. Neither do I.

I say yes daddy I do. Give me brain like NYU. Teach me daddy teach me….lol. Yasss professor.

Hey, a guy’s gotta make a living…
Brian
“Teaching occasionally naked acting to juveniles is inappropriate depending on the context of the film”
WTF? The guy is a math teacher and former porn actor. How in the hell are you making the jump to him getting kids naked?
Kangol
Yeah, sometimes the comments are so far afield I wonder, what did the commenter just read? (Not going to call him that word that rhymes with “toll” though, LOL.)

Though I see nothing with working in education and in porn at the same time, I can understand why many (most, almost all?) parents would object to their children being taught by a math teacher who also does porn — whether gay or straight porn, for that matter.
CastleSF
No parents would want their kids to see their teacher in a compromised situation.
PinkoOfTheGange
He hasn’t done porn in a few years.
And I have seen his scenes, he is never in a “compromising position”.
Bryguyf69
CastleSF wrote “No parents would want their kids to see their teacher in a compromised situation.”

Then tell their kids not to expose themselves to seeing “their teacher in a compromised situation.” Or is simple concept in parenting too difficult for you? Why should a child’s VOLUNTARY EXTRACURRICULAR behavior or a parent’s poor parenting infringe upon a teacher’s legal EXTRACURRICULAR activities? Is anyone forcing the students to watch his videos? THINK about it.
Tête Carrée
@CastleSF
Then the little b*stards should stop going out and looking for it. That’s just like the church lady that you are. Looking for something “naughty” about someone then gasping when you find it.
Kangol
I completely support anyone seeking and pursuing a new, legal career. Everyone who is qualified and interested in a given field should have the opportunity to pursue it, and should be supported in doing so. Mr. Sherwood, like Carlo Masi, who Queerty reported on before, did that, so good for him.
He’s apparently is no longer in porn, and if he’s a good teacher and mentor and his students are learning math, that should be the focus. I hope he returns to the classroom soon. (BTW, why is one of the students claiming to be “scared”? That was a weird comment.)
troyfight
…yeah, it’s a shock to most folks/parents. But really…big deal folks. And yeah, he’s f-ing hot – but that’s besides the point….2ndly, I think CastleSF is a full on troll who is insincere, but looking for attention.
CastleSF
You may not like my comments and that’s fine with me but I suspect you are looking for attention just like everyone else is on this site.
PinkoOfTheGange
Including CastleSF too of course.
Brian
Wow, this guy is so exactly my type. mmmm
Furball
Likewise. I would SO have failed math — I’d be too busy waiting for him to roll up his sleeves to reveal his furry forearms, or ogling any fur poking out the top of his shirt.
CastleSF
According to the latest news, this math teacher has not been seen at school since the news broke that he had performed in gay adult films a few years back. This man arguably has many versatile talents and if he decides to quit, I would respect his decision. People who do this sort of things have to remember that once you are in that film, you will forever to labeled as a adult film actor and the title, rightly or wrongly, will follow you for the rest of your life.
DCguy
What he did was legal. If the school doesn’t want to allow him to teach because he once did porn and porn is legal it sounds like there is a lawsuit there.
At which jobs do you draw the line? If a woman had been a former ballet dancer, is she prevented from teaching because the costumes hug the body?
Furball
I think it’s safe to assume that if this hot, hairy HUNK of MAN had been MY math teacher at any point, i’d have FAILED his class, because I’d be too focused on him — waiting for him to roll up his sleeves and reveal those furry forearms, or staring at the hair poking out of the top of his shirt. There wouldn’t be enough a/c anywhere in the world to keep HIS hot classroom cool!
He BGB
I had crushes on really plain teachers in school. I can’t imagine having a teacher like this. And finding out 1) he was gay (yippee) and 2) had been a sex worker….I think my head would have exploded (great sexual imagery there!)
CastleSF
You prove my point that individuals like this math teacher who have done something less than honorable, something that’s been permanently digitized, are distracting and most unsuitable to be a teacher.
