Sex Down is the debut studio album by R&B singer Link, released on June 23, 1998 through Relativity Records.

Having written the top-5 hit "My Body" for R&B supergroup LSG, Link soon after signed a recording contract with Relativity and began work on his debut album, with Darrell Allamby serving as the album's main producer. While the album's lead single "Whatcha Gone Do? became a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 23, the album itself failed to make a significant impact on the charts, only making it to 187 on the Billboard 200 and 46 on the R&B charts. Link did not release another studio album until 2008's independent effort Creepin'.[2]
