For six years, Aden and Jordan Jaric were the June and Ward Cleaver of the gay porn world. They were the monogamous, real-life couple from Sacramento who had a contract stating they would only have sex on film with each other.

But they broke up three months ago, for the same boring reasons many other monogamous couples do. "I feel like we just took each other for granted. We got too comfortable," Jordan says.
Yet they remained friends and made public appearances together — like the one on July 14 at the Fez Ballroom in Portland, Ore., serving as celebrity judges for Trannyshack founder Heklina's drag show, Miss Thing. Heklina says she hadn't noticed them bickering throughout the night. "They were very friendly with each other."
Things soured after the show when a fan gave them clothing and two solid glass "art pieces," a bit larger than a baseball. As the two walked back to the apartment of a dentist who had done Jordan's porcelain veneers, they started to argue.
Jordan says Aden smashed him over the head with one of the glass balls, and continued to punch him. Jordan claims he bear-hugged Aden, trying to make him stop, but never threw any punches himself. Head swelling with a welt like a "cartoon character," Jordan says he ran into the apartment to call the police. By the time cops showed up, Aden's face was also swollen, but Jordan insisted he never hit his former beau.
Jordan says the police examined his knuckles and determined that he indeed hadn't hit anyone; the implication was that Aden had punched himself to frame his ex. The cops arrested Aden, and booked him for misdemeanor assault and harassment. Aden was let out of jail later the same day, and the Multnomah County district attorney didn't file any charges.
"I just feel like because we're gay that they treated it differently. If that had happened to a woman, there would have been no question. I feel an assault is an assault," Jordan says.
In fairness, Jordan told the cops he wasn't interested in pressing charges, so prosecutors understandably dropped the case.
Jordan says he is no longer speaking to Aden, and went to the couple's scheduled dancing gig in San Diego the next weekend alone, slathering makeup over his bruise.
Aden had "no comment" for this story, yet he did tweet his version: "Ps. Jordan started the fight trying to stop me from telling his new man that he fucked and got fucked the whole trip by me. He got aggressive." And then: "I'm not the bad guy here ..."
The whole hullabaloo has been circulating in the gay blogosphere, and Heklina offered her reaction in her newsletter: "Oh, to be young(ish), good-looking (sort of), and — well — maybe not very bright ..."
