I am not ashamed of the the work I did or the company I worked for. I am, however, ashamed of the person I was at that time. I was an alcoholic and a meth addict. I was a complete and utter mess that could not function because of how sick I was. I went into rehab immediately following my shoot. When I left rehab and rejoined the world I distanced myself completely from every aspect of that life, including my brief time with Treasure Island Media. This person\u2013the one who shot that work\u2013is dead as far as I\u2019m concerned. That person is not me. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/join.nakedsword.com\/track\/MTAwODE3LjEuMS4xLjAuMC4wLjAuMA\/studios\/treasure-island-media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Joe-Rocco-Hugh-Hunter-Bareback-TreasureIslandMedia-Gay-Porn.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Rocco Hugh Hunter Bareback TreasureIslandMedia Gay Porn\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Joe-Rocco-Hugh-Hunter-Bareback-TreasureIslandMedia-Gay-Porn.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Joe-Rocco-Hugh-Hunter-Bareback-TreasureIslandMedia-Gay-Porn-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Joe-Rocco-Hugh-Hunter-Bareback-TreasureIslandMedia-Gay-Porn-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.queermenow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Joe-Rocco-Hugh-Hunter-Bareback-TreasureIslandMedia-Gay-Porn-200x113.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Years later, after rebuilding my life and myself both mentally and physically, I decided to attempt adult entertainment again as a different person\u2013a new person, the one I am today. So Hugh Hunter was born December 8, 2014. I did not announce or disclose my previous work to anyone. I didn\u2019t find it necessary, nor did I believe it was anyone\u2019s business. I did not see associating myself with that person as a healthy choice for my life or a way of maintaining my new sobriety. It has now been brought to my attention that people have made the connection and are upset that I lied. I do understand it was, technically, a lie. And I am sorry if I hurt anyone; that was never my intention. In my mind though it was better to let that part of me, the old lost addict that I was, be dead. So now you know, I&#8217;be said it. It\u2019s out there for everyone to read. And I can live with that. Just remember: We all make the best choices we can for ourself at any given moment in time. They aren\u2019t always the best or most sensible choices, but they are the ones that make the most sense to us in that moment. In hindsight, my choice wasn\u2019t the best. But it did allow me to rebuild and restart which is what I needed to do. If this offends or bothers anyone I am very sorry. Everyone has their struggles and a past they must live with. I chose to kill mine off in an effort to start a new life, a fresh and sober life.
