reflecting a more homogenous mesomorphic ideal than has been found for heterosexual men. When studying gay men’s body image, it is important for researchers to separate out forms of social influence, both in terms of the source (gay community, partners, family, media, and friends) and the type of pressure (muscular, lean), as these forms and types were differentially connected to internalization of the mesomorphic ideal, appearance comparison, body image, and even body change behaviors. We encourage researchers to continue to consider within-group variability when studying body image and body change behaviors of gay men as well as other sexual minority populations.
