On his blog, Erik Rhodes: A Romance With Misery, he stated:
My name is James... I have worked in the adult entertainment industry
for the last 7 years of my life under the name Erik Rhodes. I'm not sure
how I ended up here, and I don't know how i have survived this long...
all i do know is that it can a very lonely place and sometimes i need a
blog to get shit off my chest. So take it or leave it... here it is.
