Undesirable gay men may have riskier sex

A recent study has confirmed what some may already know -- gay men's fascination with beauty has serious drawbacks.

University of Toronto researchers interviewed dozens of gay men to determine what qualities made some men more sexually desirable than others, and what the consequences of being undesirable might be on mental and physical.

The findings were that "young, white, middle-class men are considered much more sexually desirable than men who are racial minorities, over 40 and poor" and "being considered sexually undesirable can have serious health consequences, ranging from psychological issues to risky sexual behavior."

The study also concluded that 'undesirable' gay men more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior if they consider their partner more attractive.
