==Synopsis==
Hines' film examines issues of body image in the gay community.
Attractive faces, chiseled bodies, flawless skin. Do looks matter? When it comes to the male physique in the gay community, the answer is of course yes. ''The Adonis Factor'' is a revealing, thought-provoking look at gay men's lust for all things pretty. The film is an intriguing exploration of gay men's pursuit of physical beauty and perfection in gay culture, which is predominantly image-driven and where near-naked images of masculine perfection abound, with proliferation of a stereotypical viewpoints.

Gay men have a high appreciation for beauty and attractiveness and the pressure to look good and have self-esteem and an impression on others is intense. This is accompanied by gay and general media objectifying men on covers of magazines that display super models, artists, porn stars, muscle boys, bears, twinks, circuit boys, dancers. Through intimate interviews with men across the United States, including several from the Bay Area, in San Francisco, Hines uncovers the very common, often unsettling reality of how many gay men struggle to achieve and maintain a particular image in order to be accepted, sometimes at enormous cost of drug abuse, severe eating disorders, feelings of inadequacy, accompanied many times by discrimination, prejudice. Hines also talks to experts about the issue.
