A bold exposé of the controversial secret that has potentially dire consequences in many African American communities
Delivering the first frank and thorough investigation of life "on the down low" (the DL), J. L. King exposes a closeted culture of sex between black men who lead "straight" lives. King explores his own past as a DL man, and the path that led him to let go of the lies and bring forth a message that can promote emotional healing and open discussions about relationships, sex, sexuality, and health in the black community.
Providing a long-overdue wake-up call, J. L. King bravely puts the spotlight on a topic that has until now remained dangerously taboo. Drawn from hundreds of interviews, statistics, and the author's firsthand knowledge of DL behavior, On the Down Low reveals the warning signs African American women need to know. King also discusses the potential health consequences of having unprotected sex, as African American women represent an alarming 64 percent of new HIV infections. Volatile yet vital, On the Down Low is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.
"A survey by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta found that nearly a quarter of black HIV-positive men who had sex with men consider themselves heterosexual."

On the Down Low: A Journey Into the Lives of Straight Black Men Who Sleep With Men
Shocking! Makes you suspicious of everyone you encounter after reading it. The people he talks about being on the DL are prominent people in society-- lawyers, ministers, artists, fathers, husbands, boyfriends, homophobes. It's ridiculous. Nothing against being gay but the double life and deceit is a bit much to handle. You can't help but second guess yourself when seeing any black man on the street whether he is alone, with his wife, his friends, his preacher or his boss. Too bizzare... and a much needed wake-up call!
