If you don't want anyone knowing about your sex life, you must know how to start living on the down low. Ultimately speaking, your personal life is no one’s business in the first place, but your surroundings are always full of gossips and nosy people. Although you can’t change your surroundings, you can help yourself regarding the situation. These three ways will show you how to start living on the down low.

  1. Never discuss your sex life. The first way to start living on the down low is to make no comments on any aspects of your sex life. If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t! No one on earth can force you to do so. When someone brings up your sex life for discussion nicely, just change the subject in a friendly way. Or if they insist when you keep saying "No," you are welcome to walk away. 
  2. Lie about your sex life. The second way to start living on the down low is to lie about your sex life. Note that you don’t owe anyone in the world the truth except yourself. As long as you aren’t breaking the laws, you have all the rights to make things up. Let’s say you are currently having multiple affairs every evening. When your friends ask you to hang out with them, you decline. You can tell them you have a night class to attend for work, which might lead to a promotion.
  3. Always use discretion. The last way to start living on the down low is to use discretion, as always. For example, your affairs will take place out of your home. It is wise to get a hotel room far away from your area. If you need a sexual health check, visit a physician out of your area as well. Don’t forget to use protection to avoid any sexual diseases. Be sure to clean everything up thoroughly because you want to leave no trace for anyone to realize you are having a sex life.
