On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of 'Straight' Black Men Who Sleep with Men by E. Lynn Harris, J.L. King, Karen Hunter

emotional informative medium-paced

3.0

This was a scary book to read as a black, heterosexual married woman. However, this book had me hooked from the start. It started off juicy before getting to the nitty gritty. It gave off “selfish” energy for sure. Especially when he started to basically call out every “system” for not helping these men with HIV/AIDS yet these men (including himself) couldn’t even wear protection to protect themselves and the community around them. It didn’t fit this book AT ALL. It seem like a filler for the book to have more pages. Nobody is reading this book for any  of that information. But I’ll make sure to educate my sons and my daughter on things.

My heart goes out to any woman who ever dealt with a man on the “DL.” I hope this day and age these men aren’t having identity crisis like this and are walking in their truths without hurting anyone else with their dishonesty.
