Body image discourse has historically excluded the experiences of men and gender diverse People of Colour who have sex with men (MPCSM). Across 805 Grindr users, we examined associations between race/ethnicity, skin tone, and body image variables for men and gender diverse people who have sex with men (MPSM). We found that MPCSM reported experiencing greater skin tone surveillance than White participants, but that other body image variables did n…
Masculinity, Not Femininity, is Associated with Sexual Desirability Among Grindr Users in Australia
Whether men who have sex with men see themselves as sexy is influenced by their gender expression – that is, by their performance of masculinity and femininity. Generally, while masculine men attract others’ sexual interest, feminine men are relegated to the sexual margins. Hegemonic masculinity underpins the disproportionate value gay communities place in masculinity over femininity. Yet norms of gender expression and sexual desirability also va…
Bears resist hegemonic sexual desirability through spectacle
Hegemonic forms of sexual desirability marginalize some men who have sex with men as sexually undesirable.One exampleisbears,asubcultureofmenwhohavesexwithmenwhoarefatter,hairier,andolderthanthegaymainstream.In a cultural context where the lean, muscular, and young male body predominates as the ideal, bears are pushed to the sidelines.Yet bears resist their normative desexualizationbyperformatively centering the fat male body as an object of sexu…
How Do Men Who Have Sex with Men Define Sexual Desirability
We investigated how men who have sex with men define sexual desirability. Sexual desire occurs in response to sexually relevant (i.e. desirable) stimuli, yet what attributes constitute sexually desirability, and why some and not others are seen as sexually desirable, remains unclear. We interviewed 24 men who have sex with men living in Australia (aged 21 to 64) between May and July 2023. We analyzed how interviewees defined sexual desirability u…
Gaps in Measurement
Increasing cross‐sectional literature highlights a strong overlap of internalised weight bias (i.e., weight‐based self‐devaluation) with constructs like body dissatisfaction. The highest overlap is in studies that use the Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS‐M). We argue that anti‐fat bias (e.g., negative judgements of fat people) is a core feature of internalised weight bias definitions not represented in the WBIS‐M, making its items…
How intrasexual competitiveness shapes attitudes towards cosmetic surgery recipients
Cosmetic surgery is extremely popular. Despite this, negative attitudes towards cosmetic surgery recipients prevail. Across two pre-registered studies, we examined whether intrasexual competitiveness explains these negative attitudes. Participants in Study 1 were 343 (mean age = 24.74) single heterosexual American women and participants in Study 2 were 445 (mean age = 19.03) single heterosexual Australian women. Participants in both studies were …
Dorstone Hill
Studies of early fourth-millennium BC Britain have typically focused on the Early Neolithic sites of Wessex and Orkney; what can the investigation of sites located in areas beyond these core regions add? The authors report on excavations (2011-2019) at Dorstone Hill in Herefordshire, which have revealed a remarkable complex of Early Neolithic monuments: three long barrows constructed on the footprints of three timber buildings that had been delib…

Eating Disorder Behaviours and Substance Use in Women Attending Treatment for Substance Use Disorders
Study protocol for Goodform - a classroom-based intervention to enhance body image and prevent doping and supplement use in adolescent boys
This trial was retrospectively registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry on May 14th 2019, registration number ACTRN12619000725167
Designing body image and eating disorder prevention programs for boys and men
There are no published articles to guide researchers, teachers, and community leaders in the design and development of body image and eating disorder prevention programs for boys and men, and very few school-based programs to reduce body dissatisfaction among boys have shown evidence of success. This article presents the use of “design thinking” that incorporates the needs of end users to optimize a school-based program for boys that aims to redu…

Height frequently functions as a cue to the masculine status of men. Despite the socially prescribed ideal physique for men being tall, lean, and muscular, in the context of male body image research height remains underexplored relative to muscularity and body fat. We conducted a qualitative investigation of men’s experiences of height dissatisfaction, drawing upon a sample of 15 men ranging in height from 154 cm to 172 cm (M = 164.80, SD = 5.53)…
Development and validation of the New Somatomorphic Matrix–Male
This study aimed to develop and examine the validity evidence of the New Somatomorphic Matrix-Male (NSM-M) as a measure of actual-ideal body discrepancy. The NSM-M is a visual matrix of 34 male bodies that vary along two dimensions: body fat percentage (range = 4-40%) and muscularity (fat-free mass index; range = 16.5-30 kg/m2; 36.4-66.1 lbs/m2). In Study 1, participants were 2,733 sexual minority males recruited via a geosocial networking smartp…
Relative strength of the associations of body fat, muscularity, height, and penis size dissatisfaction with psychological quality of life impairment among sexual minority men
To date, there is scant research on whether different domains of male body dissatisfaction vary in the strengthof their relationships with psychological well-being. This paucity also extends to sexual minority men (i.e.,men who report their sexual orientation as gay or bisexual). Thus, among sexual minority men, we examinedthe relative strength of the associations of four key male body dissatisfaction domains body fat, muscularity,height, and pen…

Fear of Negative Evaluation and Weight/Shape Concerns among Adolescents
Experiences of weightism among sexual minority men
Enclosing the Neolithic World
Interpretations of prehistoric enclosures worldwide have varied from those that see the primary role of enclosures as defensive features to others that explore the symbolic, ritual, social, and ideological dimensions of separating space into an inside, an outside, and an in-between. Such evidence and interpretative accounts are inevitably linked to wider anthropological discussions on modes of social interaction and reproduction in the past, whet…

Dysmorphic Appearance Concern and Hazardous Alcohol Use in University Students
ObjectiveA paucity of research has examined the link between body image concerns and alcohol use in university students. Individuals with elevated body image concerns may use alcohol due to the endorsement of expectancies that alcohol will reduce discomfort deriving from appearance concerns. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the how the link between body image concerns (i.e., dysmorphic appearance concerns) and hazardous alcohol use…
Anabolic Steroid Misuse Among US Adolescent Boys
Objectives. To examine the prevalence of anabolic steroid misuse among US adolescent boys as a function of sexual orientation and race/ethnicity. Methods. We analyzed boys from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (n = 6248; mean age = 16), a representative sample of US high school students. Lifetime prevalence of anabolic steroid misuse was dichotomized as never versus 1 or more times. Results. Sexual minority boys reported elevated misuse compar…
Emotion dysregulation moderates the link between perfectionism and dysmorphic appearance concern
Past research has revealed a relationship of perfectionism with dysmorphic appearance concern (DAC). Little research, however, has examined moderators of this relationship, including among men, whose appearance concerns are underresearched compared with women. Emotion regulation is one potential moderator that may be particularly compromised among men. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the role of emotion dysregulation in the rela…

The Real Life Superhero (RLSH) subculture is a growing global community of individuals who adopt the superhero motif and are motivated by prosocial goals. Although the community has been the focus of documentaries, news articles and numerous internet forums, little academic research has been conducted on the composition of this subculture. Through the use of an online survey, socio-demographic information about this community was collected. This …
Extending the masculinity hypothesis
Gender role norms may play a crucial role in the male experience of eating disorders. The masculinity hypothesis proposes that conformity to masculine gender roles including dominance, confidence, sexual success, and physical and emotional self-control places men at risk for muscularity-oriented bod
Carer and service providers’ experiences of individual funding models for children with a disability in rural and remote areas
There is a global movement for people with a disability towards person-centred practices with opportunities for self-determination and choice. Person-centred approaches may involve individual funding (IF) for the purchase of required support. A shift to a person-centred model and IF should allow people with a disability and their carers greater choice in therapy access. However, individuals who live in rural and remote areas have less choice and …
