Press Contact the press office to get our latest news and press releases. A number of gay men have told the BBC they are going to extreme lengths to change their bodies - including using steroids and having plastic surgery - just to become "accepted" by others in the LGBT community. Several said pressure from social media platforms and dating apps was exacerbating their body issues.
I would honestly have plastic surgery if I could afford it. Instead of surgery, a few years ago Jakeb turned to anabolic steroids - class C drugs that can be misused to increase muscle mass. It was like there was a harsh voice telling me I'm skinny. Jakeb had his second near-death experience in November last year when - after several years of heavy steroid use - he suffered heart failure. Months later, Jakeb has stopped taking steroids and has lost the extra muscle he gained, but he continues to have health problems for which he is receiving hospital support.
James Brumpton - a software engineer from Lincoln - found himself "catapulted into this world of self-consciousness", after he hooked up with a man at a local gay bar.

When James went back to the man's house and took off his T-shirt, his date looked at him and made a disgusted noise. Eventually, the experience led to James deciding to have an abdominoplasty - otherwise known as a tummy tuck. Prof Afshin Mosahebi, of Baaps, says gay men are currently having more cosmetic procedures done than straight men, although he notes that women have more procedures than men overall. After James's tummy tuck went wrong, he was left with permanent scarring, which made him even more conscious of his body.
Dating apps have fuelled body image concerns, he says. Images on social media and in leading gay magazines have also led James to feel he is an "invader in the space".
