As men on the Down Low reject the possibility
that they are homosexual, they spend a great
deal of time trying to convince others that
they are 'men'.
They will regale with ecstatic reports of
anal sex, how it is so much better than
vaginal.
They 'sell' themselves the story that everything
is just perfect, and refuse, at first to even
recognise their fascination with the anus.
They might begin with some contraption to
represent a penis being inserted into their
anus until such time as they appreciate that
they wish truly to be penetrated by a man.
It may take a year or more for the male to
admit he wants to have sex with a man,
'just to try it', (his lie to himself)
but in truth, he is a homosexual in denial.
Eventually he will manifest, first in the
down low, then eventually accept his homosexuality.
