The investigation sampled 378 men and revealed that gay and bisexual men differ significantly in body image satisfaction, highlighting the need for distinct recognition in research.
Bisexual participants showed significantly less motivation to be lean and had lower muscular dissatisfaction than gay men, mirroring responses of straight respondents.
Societal ideals push all men towards muscularity, but dissatisfaction was found most pronounced among gay men due to stronger attraction to those ideals.
The crucial finding was the difference between gay and bi men's body image responses, emphasizing bisexual individuals' unique experiences of stigma and marginalization.
