Answer :

I can only speak for myself as 1 gay man, but I would say the answer to your question is yes. Gay men are just as guilty as heterosexual men of objectifying their partners in order to maintain some type of barrier between them. It’s a defense mechanism, in my opinion. It keeps people at a distance.
