What It Is To Be Down Low:

What Is It To Be Down Low?

My Definition:
A person who ellects to be on the Down Low, is trying to protect him/herself from being discovered indulging in activities (sexual in nature), that he would not like his/her family, relatives, friends or peers to become aware of!

With that definition in mind, let us explore all or most of the different concepts of being Down low.

a. Some Men & Women who are having sexual relationships or affairs outside of a relationship or marriage.

b. Some men who prefer that their spouse or woman does not get wind that they are Bisexual, and is indulging in sexual activities with men.

c. Some men who are Bi-sexual in nature, but refuses to accept it as a biological fact with them. Some are married with children, or in a relationship/s with women. But still crave the company of men sexually, and seek it out whenever they can quietly.

d. Some men, (though few in numbers), who have taken the responsibility upon themselves to notify their sexual partner, wife, woman or mate, that they are Bi-sexual, and is also having sexual affairs with a man or with other men.
Now these are just a few categories of the Down Low concept.

But it is not hard and fast in nature. I have found in my enquiries, that if you ask fifty individuals who admits that they are living on the Down low, to give their perspective about the life. You will get as many answers as the number of persons asked!

This Life Style is still evolving and re-inventing itself. In time I guess it will be properly understood for what it is. Until then, don't hold your breadth.

Om Shanti.
