This was a book written, because his publisher probably gave him money to do it.
The brother is bogus. he is still living a lie, to himself and others. He admits that even after the last book he had not come totally clean with himself.
Dont believe his "bisexual" crap. He seems intent on proving his own bisexuality by showing stories of confusion in others. That is not a bisexual, that is a gay man in denial!
His comments about how good he looks, and how good he dresses, then gets mad when people say he acts gay. LOL. First. Bro, your looks are average at best, come down off the high horse. Second, Tom Joyner was correct, he does LOOK gay on his book cover and the Jet cover.
If you are expecting insight, or information. Not in this book. if you expect him to state a position, he will not. Only have safe sex. he seems to justify men who sleep around, as long as they tell their women, or they are safe.
This brotha is frontin, and needs to get real with yourself.
sorry, i just dont like fake people, and this brother is as genuine as a $3 bill. he is playing on peoples fears to sell a book.

I give the brotha credit for at least putting a label on himself. In the introduction, he says "I am a bisexual man." That's pretty much would've saved Oprah about half an hour of dialog from his appearance on the show. I mean the man went on and on about how he's living the straight life, but has sex with men and didn't consider himself gay or bisexual. For some DL brothas, "It was the liquor." Personally, I don't think there's enough alcohol on this planet to make me even consider...I can't even type it out.

Anyway, back to this book - I think it's a decent follow-up, but not worth purchasing. There was an, er, interesting story on how he was on a date dancing with a beautiful sister and this, er, well, in his words, "fine brother," walked in and how they were both checking him out and laughing about it. See? Honest Love. Check it out at the local library, if you're interested in his life after the down low.

This book continues to give dl men excuses to be selfish and think of themselves only king encourages honesty but still tells men its ok to lie to thier families and spouses not a good read

This book just like the previous one lets you know what to look for when it comes to these horrific men who are confused and don't mind trying to confuse you. Believe it or not there are several men out here who are trying to keep their true sexual identity a secret. You have the right to know and if you dont have a clue you should read this and the previous one so that you will know how to avoid these types of animals.

The second in a series, JL King further clarifies the down low approach. Hear the voices of men who participate in this lifestyle and the women affected thru his poignant writing. Buy this book and pass onto friends so that they can be aware of this troubling issue. JL King has done it again! Riveting!
