Gay men in Britain are fuelling a surge in demand for plastic surgery, with a quarter admitting to having gone under the knife already.
Despite the current economic crisis, the cosmetic surgery industry in Britain is booming, and a rise in demand for procedures such as nose jobs, liposuction and male breast reductions has been attributed to a surge in male requests.
A new survey of 1,000 men, conducted by Gay Times, found that 22% of gay men had resorted to plastic surgery, while 69% claimed that they would like to.
Regardless of sexual orientation, men were found to be a huge growth area in the market , with the Harley Medical Group seeing a 20% rise in male patients over the past five years, The Independent on Sunday reports.
Speaking to the paper, Liz Dale director of the group revealed, 'Initially, men started coming in for nose jobs to correct sporting injuries, but the number of men coming in for liposuction and breast reduction has increased at an incredible rate over the last five years.
She added that business men in particular had developed a taste for anti-ageing procedures. 'We are still seeing high demand for many of our non-surgical treatments among men, particularly in our City clinic' Dale explained, 'City boys are using Botox and 'fillers' to help them keep looking young.'
I earned my wrinkles. No one’s taking them away....
Humanity's cream of the crop.
Male breast reduction is a boon to society, no matter who promotes it. Just think how much more pleasant a trip to the beach would be if you didn’t have to worry about your kids being exposed to some overweight middle aged guy’s man-boobs.
Wow, half of all Democrat males have had nip tucks!
Now this is the kind of surge that Barney Frank can get behind!
I hope those surgical instruments are properly sterilized after the procedures.
Then in his third term, the 45-year-old representative had not yet stated his homosexuality publicly. He paid Gobie $80 in cash for sex.
Gobie, then 28, was one of many young men "freelancing" in male prostitution. Gobie said he was born in Boston and grew up in a military family. He has felony convictions for possession of cocaine, oral sodomy and production of obscene items involving a juvenile.
Gobie and Frank say they became more friends than sexual partners. Gobie says he attended a bill-signing at the White House, and helped coach and played left field for Frank's team in the Congressional Softball League. "I was the star player," Gobie said.
Frank began to help Gobie financially, paying his attorney and court-ordered psychiatrist. The House member also said he hired Gobie as a personal aide, housekeeper and driver, but Gobie said that was a "cover story" concocted for probation officers.
In late 1985, Gobie says, he began to use Frank's apartment and two other locations for prostitution. Frank knew about the prostitution all along, but it was never explicitly discussed, Gobie says.
"He knew exactly what I was doing," Gobie said. "It was pretty obvious. If he had to come home early {from work}, he would call home to be sure the coast was clear . . . . He was living vicariously through me. He said it was kind of a thrill, and if he had been 20 years younger he might be doing the same thing."

What, no hymen restorations?
