J. L. King presents a candid examination of the 'down low' phenomenon, a subculture of African American men who identify as heterosexual while engaging in sexual relationships with other men. Drawing on extensive interviews and personal experience, the author explores the social and health implications of this secrecy, specifically addressing the impact on partners and the broader community.
