Eating the forbidden fruit: Why are gay men still so drawn to guys on the DL?

particularly cruel, yet possibly accurate commenter. why would anyone ever want a DL man.. what is the appealDL guys are an indelible part of gay lore, with their headless torsos popularizing Grindr grids across the world.

With gay sex more accessible than ever, the number of DL guys “experimenting” with other men is ostensibly at an all-time high. Cruising no longer requires surreptitious late-night trips to the park or roaming around skeevy bathhouses. All one needs is a smart phone and thumbs! Then–voila!–an entire city is at one’s sticky fingertips.

And finding the forbidden fruit can be especially sweet. We often fantasize about who we can’t have: celebrities, gym crushes, friends’ boyfriends… friends’ ex-boyfriends! The same thinking extends on both ends of the DL trade. For the DL bro, it’s hooking up with another guy.

And for the secretive among us, it’s hooking up with a “straight” man. It’s all fun and (dirty) games, until the toxicity comes into play… like poor hygiene (flushable wet wipes exist for a reason) or an offensive taste in politics. In the aftermath of November’s election, some gay men started outing their “DL trade” as Tr*mp supporters.

That’s not part of anybody’s fantasy!low vibrational maybeThe widespread phenomenon is ruining more relationships than one may think…A recent study found that 3% of men in hetero relationships report being attracted to the same sex. But due to societal pressures, they feel stuck in “straight jackets.”One temporary escape is DL sex with other guys. But what happens on the down low often doesn’t stay beneath the surface.

The secrets always come out, leaving behind a trail of “shattered women…” and used gay men. The fantasy of DL hookups is usually more fun than the reality. In our imaginations, the encounter is secretive and scintillating.
