"To not actually be gay but to engage in homosexual activity in order to satisfy your own carnal desires and is kept secret.
After the girls did not show up for the party the guys watched the porno tape and were soon on the low down."

Urban Dictionary on the low down

It is a subculture in the black community.....many black males spend time in jail and go "On The Down Low."

Pants on the ground or showing your Huggies is just advertising. Many black males are easy targets for Gay adults. Often times a well-to-do adult black male will target fatherless boys for sex. Some would like to call this a recruiting tactic. I call it pedophilia. This is a secret in the black community. Many of the victims won't even admit they're gay. They have sex with another man and then go on to having normal families. This is the reason there was so much AIDs in the black community.

What does this do to person's mind.....being young and having sex with an adult male? It makes them change....Often times not for the better. Personally, the thought of gay sex is inducement enough for me not to break the law. Some would gladly welcome incarceration because it gives them an excuse to be gay without repercussions. It's too easy to get a date in the pen.


Oh no......you didn't go there.....
 

Just cause a girl bangs another chick or a guy bangs another guy doesn't mean they are gay. I mean they can be. Or they could be bi. They could even be straight.

Personally, I think bisexuality is the greatest sexual freedom there is.

 
Article mentioning the black 'down low' thing back from 2008,

"Women have a lot more leeway to explore their sexuality with other women without questioning their orientation or setting any alarms off. On the other hand, society doesn't make room for men to do the same. Can you imagine the flip side of this scenario? No, I don't mean Bon Jovi topping the charts with a new rock anthem called "I Made Out With a Guy." Let's say one of your male friends confesses: "I was at the club last night with Bob. The music was pounding, I had a few shots, and his hair just looked so good, so we made out, and I jerked him off in the bathroom." For most people, there's really only one response: "Dude, you're gay." Maybe, but maybe not. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than three million men who self-identify as straight secretly have sex with other men. Although there's been some mainstream dialogue about African-American men who have sex with men "on the down-low," there hasn't been much talk about white guys who do it."

Actually, 10% of married "straight" men have sex exclusively with other men. Isn't just a black thing.


I call bullshit.


"Nearly 10% of Self-Proclaimed 'Straight' Men Only Have Sex With Men"
Many Straight Men Have Gay Sex

You're new so you're excused. But in the future just take my word for things about sex. :)



Seems like the study(s) were limited to NYC men.

I've never been to NYC, so I can't comment on it. And now I want to go even less.

But, out here in the real world, no, I don't buy it.

10% huh?

More interesting facts that you just made up....

Not me, Web MD. And they're just one. Can post however many you need before you pull your head out of your ass.


Yes. One study with a small and very geographically limited sample.

It will take a lot more than that to convince me of such a non-intuitive "fact".
 
The black male culture in many parts of the U.S. is hypermasculine. Men would be socially ostracized or punished for being openly gay, particularly in many inner city areas. Gay black men have among the highest suicide rates in the U.S. You see the same thing in Hispanic cultures, and in any other arena where men feel the need to be excessively masculine in the front that they present to the world, or where there are negative social repercussions for being gay (like in the military, in fundamentalist Christianity or in the Mormon church). Men self-identify and report their sexuality as straight because they fear the ramifications of being openly gay.

Also, it's not being on the low down, it's called being on the down low. Damn son. This book has been out for 10 years. Time to figure out the phrase you are mangling.

Here is a more detailed article on the subject: The rise of mostly straight dudes why men s sex lives are more complicated than you think It is NSFW.

Yep.

Like I told Luddy.

The different cultures put different motivations on their homosexuals and thus you see different behavior.

As a result it makes complete sense to talk about this as a "black thing".
