SUPER CHUBBY GAY MEN

Hierarchil multiple regrsn analysis to asss the effects of BMI on sexual health showed that beg younger age, self-intifyg as gay, beg a relatnship, havg longer penis, adoptg sertive posn sex, and beg normal weight were signifint predictors of anal receptive sex whout ndoms, explag 24. However, do not affect all populatn groups equally and sexual mory dividuals have been intified as a high-risk group, due to exposure to specific strsors pertag to a sexual mory [2, 3], namely, homophobia, fear of rejectn, and ncealment, leadg to creased levels of anxiety and the need to fd pg mechanisms to mediate strs, cludg overeatg [4] gay and bisexual men (GBM) seem to be particularly vulnerable to weight stigma, sexual objectifitn, and social parison [5], leadg them to show a lower prevalence of overweight and oby pared to straight men [6–9] although some rearch has not found any signifint differenc [10]. Some studi brg evince to the fact that the prevalence of erectile functn is signifintly higher overweight men and men wh oby general [26], and GBM particular [27] more than four s of homophobic dictatorship Portugal and the importance of the Catholic Church, the untry now liv a protective and clive socpolil environment for sexual mori, exhibed through the existence of a non-discrimatn clse based on sexual orientatn the Portugue nstutn, the 2010 law thorizg same-sex marriage, and the 2016 law allowg adoptn by same-sex upl [28, 29].

Given the high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmted diseas gay and bisexual men [32], s associated mental health ncerns [33], and subsequent possible associatns wh BMI Portugue social environment (where sexual stigma still exists), this study was rried out to addrs a gap the lerature, sce there is a lack of available studi this field.

The rults suggt that BMI uld be an important factor to nsir when signg HIV/STD preventn programs sce men whout oby appear to be at greater risk for HIV/AIDS and other STDs due to their and their partners’ creased probabily to engage unprotected sex [40] younger, self-intifyg as gay, beg a relatnship, havg longer penis, adoptg sertive posn sex, and beg normal weight were signifint predictors of anal receptive sex whout ndoms.

Overweightns and oby remas a signifint public health issue, and related out should be studied by sexual mory subgroup orr to avoid maskg important found that the overweight group, the full sample of lbian and gay dividuals had lower odds of overweight (although not signifint). Stereotypil gay mal may be portrayed as flamboyant, hypersexual, effemate, fashnable, th, and preoccupied wh body image (Madon, 1997; McLghl & Rodriguez, 2017; Rothmann, 2013), The last two stereotyp have potential relevance for several health out, cludg overweight and many margalized inti, sexual orientatn and sexualy have been narrowly fed based on certa behavrs, characteristics, and expectatns of what means to be a gay man Ameri. Acrdg to the CDC (2022), BMI is morately rrelated wh both the prevalence of those out and objectively better measur of body posn offered by more direct measur of body fat such as skld thickns measurements, belectril impedance, unrwater weighg, dual energy x-ray absorptmetry (DXA) and the like (see Denton & Karpe, 2016; Goyan, 2012; Scerpella et al., 2013 for more tailed discsns of the alternative methods) Gay Mal More or Ls Likely to Have Overweight and Oby than Straight Mal?

Rearchers have also documented other health related trends wh dispari between mal who are gay and mal who are straight, cludg a higher cince of smokg, creased accs to healthre, and creased mental health issu, which might impact weight and the cince of oby (Carpenter, 2003; Laska et al., 2015; Sang et al., 2021; Tuthill et al., 2020) this chapter, we attempt to addrs some of the voids and overe some of the nsistenci the lerature jt reviewed. We further rtrict our analys to those who also have valid rpons on the var dimensns of sexualy, th rultg analytic sampl of 3675 mal g the behavr dimensn of sexualy, 4028 mal g the attractn dimensn, and 3960 mal g the self-intifitn mentn one last fal pot about the analys to be prented below of oby and overweight among gay male and straight male rponnts g data om the 2017–2019 NSFG.

After unrtakg the scriptive analys, we turn to logistic regrsn analys timatg equatns wh a pennt variable of sexual orientatn (gay or straight) and wh the pennt variabl of obe (one set of equatns) or obe/overweight (send set of equatns); each set ntas three equatns, one for each of the three sexualy first prent the scriptive analys.

ARE GAY MEN MORE F? OBY AND OVERWEIGHT DIFFERENC AMONG GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN

In sum, pared to straight mal, gay mal tend to be more characterized by normal weight and ls characterized by overweight and terme whether there is a statistilly signifint difference the distributn of the five BMI tegori among the gay mal pared to the distributn among the straight mal, we lculated a Pearson χ2 statistic which was then rrected for the survey sign wh a “send-orr rrectn” (Rao & Stt, 1984), and nverted to an F statistic.

But, only the analysis classifyg the sexual orientatn of the rponnts acrdg to the sexual attractn dimensn did we fd the distributn of the BMI tegori for gay mal to be signifintly different om the distributn for straight now foc on the oby and overweight variabl our parisons of gay mal wh straight mal. 2 prents for gay mal and straight mal, so signated acrdg to the behavr dimensn of sexualy, the log equatn rults of the gay male dummy variable regrsed on the obe dummy variable; and next the rults of the equatn regrsg the gay male dummy variable on the overweight or obe dummy variable.

Acrdg to the self-intifitn dimensn of sexualy, gay mal are signifintly ls likely than straight mal to be obe or this sectn, we nducted two separate analys of gay mal and straight mal, each time signatg the mal as gay or as straight acrdg to one of three dimensns of sexual orientatn.

ONE OBE GAY MAN’S TAKE ON BRENDAN FRASER FILM, THE WHALE

But only the analysis where we classified the sexual orientatn of the mal acrdg to the sexual attractn dimensn did we fd the distributn of the BMI tegori for gay mal to be signifintly different om that for straight the send set of analys, we timated one logistic regrsn equatn wh the pennt variable of gay vers straight, and the pennt variable of obe (y = 1); and we timated a send logistic regrsn equatn but changed the pennt variable to overweight/obe (y = 1).

In all six equatns, the obe pennt variable and the overweight or obe pennt variable were shown to be negatively related wh the gay vers straight pennt variable; but only the equatns wh the overweight/obe pennt variable were the relatnships wh the pennt variable statistilly signifint. Obe and overweight mal were ls likely to be gay, and more likely to be straight, irrpective of which of the three sexualy dimensns was ed to signate whether they were straight or all three dimensns of sexualy one at a time, we found that gay mal are ls likely to be characterized by overweight or oby than are straight mal. That is, rather than fg a gay male three different ways, as we did this chapter, namely, as a male who behav sexually wh mal, or as a male who is attracted sexually to mal, or as a male who self-intifi as gay, future rearch we might be together the three approach.

Both showed that an sentialist nceptualizatn of male and female homosexualy, that is one fg a homosexual as one who behav sexually wh same-sex persons, and who is attracted sexually to persons of the same sex, and who self-intifi as homosexual, is much more rtrictive than a social nstctnist approach. And nversely, also found that gay women tend to be heavier than their heterosexual rearchers termed that gay women were more than twice as likely as straight women to be obe, while gay men were 50 percent ls likely to be obe pared to their heterosexual unterparts, acrdg to a report published the Amerin Journal of Public Health.
