GAY MALE RELATNSHIPS AND THE ADD/OCD SYNDROME

Of urse this isn’t te of all gay men, but the stereotype do emerge om the many gay men that seem to put ordate effort to makg themselv perfect every achievable way—spendg a lot of time at the gym, at work, or strivg for the bt gras school.

Sce the publitn of Tobias' memoir, numero gay thors, therapists, and public figur have harnsed the "bt ltle boy the world" theme to scribe their own formative experienc of prentg an fallible fa to guard the personal secret of their sexual orientatn.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM GAY? SIGNS YOU ARE GAY

Given all the theorizg, story-tellg, and personal observatns documentg this phenomenon, we were surprised that no one had ever empirilly studied the supposed tenncy of young gay men to pe wh the early, isolatg awarens of their sexual orientatn by strivg to be "the bt" and the potential psychologil sts of this strivg. We wonred whether, nsistent wh "the bt ltle boy the world" narrative, young gay men would be particularly likely to vt their self-worth those life domas which they are particularly likely to succeed spe beg stigmatized. For example, sce young gay men nnot be assured of fay support, peer approval, or God's love as long as they hi their sexual orientatn om everyone, may be wise for them not to vt their self-worth those life domas.

Succs the domas nnot be ntrolled and guaranteed when one is gay, unlike succs amics, good looks, and beg the bt at petive tasks, which are relatively more ntrollable and guaranteed, wh at least some effort. In fact, beg good amics, lookg dapper, and attag stat may be one way to stave off tectn of one's sexual orientatn or to pensate for any rejectn if a young gay man's sexual orientatn gets disvered.

We also proposed a further st, namely that the greater the gree to which young gay men vt the achievement-related domas, the greater the lengths they would go to assure succs them, even if unhealthy ways, such as isolatg onelf, eatg too much or too ltle, or lyg and gettg to arguments wh others.
