Presentation transcript:

Did you know…

In the United States 30 million people suffer from an eating disorder

And did you know…

15 – 20 % of eating disorders are seen in males

But did you know…

42% of men with an eating disorder identify as gay Even though gay men make up only 5% of the male population

This overrepresentation can be the result of the emphasis on body image in gay culture

Gay men are more likely to sexually objectify their bodies than heterosexual men and lesbian women

And internalized homophobia may constitute for low self-esteem associated with an eating disorder

56% of homosexual men say they are dissatisfied with their bodies

What can we do?

More research to identify the differences in eating disorders between men and women

And treatment options designed specifically for men in this culture

Clinicians need to learn to recognize the signs

And we need to recognize the signs

Within ourselves And within each other
