Given that the rponse to a gay-specific social strsor was equally pronounced as the one to a general social strsor, programs aimg to crease mory strs but overlookg general strs are likely to yield only partial improvements gay men’s mental health. In the current study, we be the psychoblogil and psychosocial perspectiv on strs, takg to acunt both physlogil as well as perceived strs an experimental study, lbians, gay men, and bisexual (LGB) dividuals were exposed to an LGB-related versn of the Trier Social Strs Tt (TSST) (Kirschbm et al.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GAY MEN’S CUCKOLDG FANTASI

We expect that:(1) Compared to their rponse to an (acute) general strsor, gay men will show a blunted direct rponse to an (acute) gay-related strsor wh rpect to salivary rtisol, salivary ttosterone, and perceived strs; (2) gay men will show lower overall levels of salivary rtisol, salivary ttosterone, and perceived strs throughout the whole ssn when exposed to an (acute) gay-related strsor as pared to an (acute) general strsor.

IntroductnThe lerature tailg iendships between straight women and gay men has jt begun to take form; many text qualative studi have started to intify the signifince of the unique, tstg bond that straight women and gay men share wh one another ( la Cz & Dolby, 2007; Gaiba, 2008; Grigoru, 2004; Hopcke & Rafaty, 1999, Malone, 1980). Specifilly, women wh gay male iends—often known as “u fli” or “fag hags” the gay male muny (Maland, 1991; Moon, 1995; Thompson, 2004; Warren, 1976)—report havg more open and timate nversatns; more social and emotnal support that would take the form of pannship, sympathy, or advice; and a greater terpersonal nnectn wh a male prence (Grigoru, 2004).
