Many gay men don t like their bodies very much.
That might seem surprising, given the amount of time many of us spend at the gym. We probably devote more time and effort to cultivating our physical selves than any other demographic group. The group that likes their physical appearance the least is gay men. We live in a sexualized subculture that places a premium on physical beauty, and media and advertising bombard us with images that reflect an impossibly high standard of physical beauty. We all like looking at attractive men, of course.
