44% of Gay Men Say They Are Unhappy With Their Bodies

Do I Look Fat? Men Ask This Question, Too 

Many men feel judged on their looks; relationships can suffer

FYI:  I had nothing to do with the making of this article!

Of (depressing) note:

When it comes to their weight, 39% of heterosexual men and 44% of gay men said they were dissatisfied. When asked about muscle tone, 30% heterosexual men and 45% of gay men were unhappy.

The second category found that 29% of heterosexual men and 37% of gay men said they had gone on a weight-loss diet in the past year. More than half of both heterosexual and gay men had exercised to lose weight in the past year.

Sixty-one percent of heterosexual men and 77% of gay men said they felt people judged them on their looks and many said they felt pressured by magazines and television to have a better body.

Regarding sex: People were asked if they tried to hide parts of their body during sex during the past month and which parts. Twenty percent of heterosexual men, 39% of gay men did. The body part they tried to hide the most? Their stomach.

I must admit that I have been fairly good about keeping my body-self-loathing in check over the years, but the advent of Instagram -- where you're seeing people who ARE NOT celebrities looking wonderful all the time (like the hot guy I follow up top) -- has made it more difficult. I sometimes unfollow people when it gets to be too much ... or if they post too many of the same shirtless selfie. Then it's just because they lack creativity!

Am intrigued by celebrity trainer Jason Walsh's fat-burning versaclimber. Anyone ever tried it?

Seen in the new issue of Details.

A Foreign Affair

The French sure can't seem to get enough of American model Chad White, who graces a third cover of Tetu. How come I never see guys like this when I'm a la plage? But if you think that's hot wait till you see how much the Chinese eat up Chad (and his crack) after the jump. ----->

I know, I know. These photos made the rounds a few weeks ago. But my friend Greg wanted me to pick up a copy of Chad White's June Tetu cover so he could make wallpapers out of these superhot photos, so I ended up scanning them myself. The top photo -- my personal favorite -- doesn't seem to be around on the 'Net anywhere, so consider it a bonus from this Johnny-come-lately.
