@blkjew you really don't have to be harsh like that and call anyone the "f" word. It's not about gay bashing. You probably get more than oral sex from your transsexual friend and then you take it back home to your girlfriend. So I guess that's the black woman's fault for not knowing that. You and i'm sure a lot more men get this service and other service. That's why it's call the Downlow. Come out why don't you!!!!!
@smoothbrother69 while we would like to believe most guys are straight you don't see the undercover sting operations by law enforcement in the parks and local malls. This is more widespread than you know.And most of the men are married. Ladies especially if he has been to prison. It's easy for the men to say that woman are sleeping around and blame the black community for not being accepting but the bottom line is one word DECEPTION!!!!!
Part of the problem is the taboo of being black in this country and in the black community. If that is stopped, you these poor women may not get aids. Sad, sad, sad/.
It's sad that alot black men rather hide behide a black women, than to be honest with himself and with her. Black women have ENOUGH problems to comtend with without being some SICK man-boy's security blanket. If you are that low down that you have to lie and deceive someone who loves you than you need to be RIDICULED and SHAMED!
No offense to anyone because this comment is not meant to offend...but how in the world could this woman NOT know that this man was gay? I mean even with his face blurred out in the pictures I could tell that he was homosexual(Body language)Even the way that they met was to good to be true. It was very SUSPECT to begin with. We as women sometimes choose to not follow our own good judgement and ignore these tell tale signs, when they are right in our faces...
DL Men and Gays do NOT corner the market of HIV/AIDS infections.
WHY do people keep parading around on television like this dumb "show-horse" lady keeps doing.....and telling half truths?
HIV/AIDs is a horrific disease to deal with, and on top of the public shame that comes with the illness, the individuals have to be looked at as if they were all engaging in gay acts or dL acts or whateverwhich is just simply not true.
Another show blaming BM & once again BW cannot wait to jump on the bandwagon & open their big mouths & wonder why we make you tube about them. BW make up almost 70% of new hiv cases. BW lead in abortions per any other group which means a lot are not using condoms the number of them getting HIV from bi men about 2% tell me why this is such a big issues? oh yea blame niggas!!!
Man this is some B.S. How in the hell can they say DL guys are the reason for women 25- 34 having and dieing from hiv. How many guys in that age range has hiv.?
As a black man, this really pisses me off. They make it seem like that only black men do this. White men and Hispanic men and even Asian men do this. But this is all an attempt from the media to enforcenegative stereotypes against African Americans, and it is sad that our own people are playing along in this.
Are there any Hiv test that can find the actual virus. Because all the ones that i have seen and taken say it test for antibody. Even the Blood test. Also how accurate are they? because i have read in many places that the flu and other things can cause a positive reading.
@kcballintyp Maybe that's because a little something called HIV is increasing more in the black community and especially with HETEROSEXUAL BLACK WOMEN than with White, and Asian, and Hispanic women!
The problem they don't understand is that the DL is not limited to black men! I hate the fact that this is not talking about straight men that go off to Bangkok for business trips, prostitution... what about unprotected sex? There are more things that cause AIDS than just the DL!
The problem with the whole DL phenomena is although it is a PART of the problem with AIDS, it needs to be said that you need to protect yourself. I get tested, before you have sex MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CONDOMS, and if you don't get some. You can't trust anyone with your health--only yourself
This issue is in no way limited to black people. Men of all colours have lied to women about their sexuality for centuries- non black men simply don't talk about it as being on the DL- they use other words to describe their behaviour.
This is nothing more than Black women finding an excuse to explain away their whorish behavior!
The majority of Black women are having sex outside of marriage and having sex with MULTIPLE PARTNERS!!!!!!!!
Also what do Black women lead in having more STD'S than other races of women, far more abortions and newborns dying 13 times more from SIDS etc. So Black women are hiding the fact that their behavior is horrible across the board!
Yeah blame the men but who are the least sought after women?
no one knows the percentage but its far more than 10%, there are more bisexuals than straight and gay, people just dont want to believe it....10% straight, 10% gay, 80% bisexual....bisexuals just settle with opposite sex still doesnt make them straight....people in the glbt knows whats happening, people outside of that community are just ignorant to the situation
actually most people in the world male and female are bisexual....just later on they settle with the opposite sex, more than 30% of men are married to women and they dont know that their dude is still having sex with men...just because you are with someone of the opposite sex doesnt mean you are straight
I hit this right on ,when i have a heart to heart deep conversation with straight men,they tell me they have thought about sleeping with the same sex,but won't act on it.....hell how do u think men become best friends,there is an attraction between the 2
this is being blown out of proportion only about 10 of the population is gay. and bisexual. but this does make a good story line in movies so people think it happean more often then it does.
You dont know what % is gay. For the most part it is a secret in the Black Community. You will never know the REAL AMOUNT becasue they dont tell due to how they are treated by the BLACK CHURCH. Yes it should be TOLD! Have you been on her site to see all the women that are finding out thier hubby is GAY! IT HAPPENS ALOT! Ask the OPENLY gay men, they will tell you! It is worse because they dont tell and sleep with US after they sleep with a man! SPREADING DISEASE!
This is the percent of people who reported being gay from survey. the actual number of people is most likey a little higher. but it is still very low and limited. stds are spread because of unsafe sex practices like not wearing a condom i have notice a lot of DL talk is based on the homophobia.
What evidence do you have to back up your claims? this is the problem with this down low garabage. It happean but is not as big as the media wants to make it.
Smoothbrother69 - I agree that the media is sensationalizing this subject matter but I must also admit that this is very rampant! I have a gay brother and all he's ever attracted where men who had wives, girlfriends; they were thugs, Pastors and everything in between. I talked to some of his friends and ALL of them have had relations with DL men. I must also add that many DL men are men of other races; I just hate how the media tries to make this more of a "black thing".
1 in 10 is a really high number for a population. this is just the population that is openly gay if you double that which still seem a little high it is 1 out of 5. so of course u can find a lot of dl men out their as well as gay men. but the majority of men are straight.
I know it's hard to accept but not every man that you perceive as straight really is. Also, no one is saying that most men are DL or gay but we are saying that there are many of them; more than most would think. Clearly, you are an outsider to this and will be oblivious to how common it really is. Yet, I am sure that you know at least one person (that's putting it mildly) that you think is straight but he's on the DL. I just wish we would stop with the denial because it's destructive at best.
it is not something that i do not see. i have heard stories of guys trying to hit on other guys. but this is the minority of men. most males are straight not bi. bi is something that is big amoung women. (who are mostly bi to some degree) but guys tend to be one or the other. clearly you must see that 4 out of 5 men u meet are straight.

Mike and Juliet proved they really are homophobes who have a disdain for the gay community.
Did they ever wonder why these men are on the "down low"?
Because society shits all over gay people!
These men have been discriminated against and beaten and ruined by this society!
I feel very bad for the scorned wife in the video but let's try to understand that if we eliminate homophobia, this sort of thing won't happen!

This Segment should have showcased ALL races of men on the DL, instead of displaying the humiliation & deceit suffered by 1 black woman's experience.
I guess I have to question the motives of the producer on this particular show. Why not include more of a panel on the issue of DL Men?
Its "Overall Portrayal" of a certain group, is so blatantly obvious!! People dont fall for the propaganda!
