The article proposes that the view that gay men have a greater amount of preoccupation
than heterosexual men with their appearance of their body. Study 1 investigated
differences in self-objectification and body image among gay and heterosexual men. The
analysis showed that gay men scored higher on self-objectification, body shame, and
body dissatisfaction, and drive for thinness. In the second study, the authors
experimentally manipulated state self-objectification and found that for gay men,
increasing state self-objectification resulted in greater body shame and dissatisfaction and
more restrained eating. With these statistics and figures they will help with seeing
problems that involve with the strive to be thin and attractive in a quantitative figure.

This Documentary exhibits the kind of lives that gay men go through in their pursuit of
physical perfection. It speaks about eating disorders, steroid use and body shaming that
happens to people who are not part of a community dedicated to body perfection. This
will help strengthen the argument about how body issues effect the gay community by
providing a face to the demographic of people who experience these issues.

better belonging to the community. This study found the significance in a sample group
of gay men in Australia who participated in the scale to find whether the two ideas were

physique.
