While that's OK for hookups where there aren’t a lot of long deep conversations involved, it’s more of an issue for my dating life. I enjoy watching body worship porn, my preferences on Grindr and Scruff are set for that body type, and I always ask before hooking up with a guy if it is ok for me to feel their muscles and for them to flex for me, because that’s something of a prerequisite for me.

I have been treated and still see a therapist regularly for it, but the last big hurdle I am having with it is how I am attracted to guys.

I have struggled with some level of body dysmorphia for many years now, and in fact, suffered from anorexia and overexercising in college. I am a 23-year-old cis gay man living in the midwest and I could really use your advice.
