Dude... I am not gay or anything but this is a fascinating question and I don't know the answer to it. My gut instinct is ”no" because women inherently have stronger racial preferences (probably mostly biology) than men do and I'd expect this is true for both straights and gays. But on the other hand China is its own animal and whiteness/western-ness/eastern euro-ness is so scarce that maybe there is a surprisingly large discrepancy. Its empirically desired among local women, but is it necessarily so among local men? It seems to be its only desireable among straight men when you filter out the massive swath of morbidly obese western women. What about the f4ggots though? I'd rather not peruse gay escorting websites to research this admittedly good question, however. I can ask my powerlifter ex-gf about this; we're still cool and she's a gay porn afficionado. Apparently there's an even bigger dearth of tops in Asia than in the west so I'm guessing topping at all regardless of race commands a handsome premium. I guess I found my side hustle bro, thanks.
Regarding your previous question: One of the reasons things have advanced so much compared to the Duchaine era is how ubquitously available bloodwork is relative to the past. I mean yeah, you could get it done in the 80s/90s/2000s but it took a lot of work and the right doctor. Now literally almost everyone can go do bloodwork and observe hormone levels directly. A lot of stuff written in Duchaine's book was invalidated later. For instance, he claims that EQ aromatizes at like 1/3rd to 1/2 the rate of testosterone. But when people have actually tested this on bloodwork, they've found it actually has a moderate anti-estrogenic effect, or rather it makes some of the test you're taking convert to estrone instead of estrodial (E2) and thus ends up lower estodial levels. When you take it with trt test or by itself, it doesn't aromatize directly at all. Same thing with deca... running deca only cycles=no estrogen conversion, but they've also used bloodwork to demonstrate how deca increases the amount of aromatization your testosterone goes through.
Having the modern social media web 2.0 era with pics/data/bloodwork all so available has lead to a lot of informal empirical experiments that the actual scientists would either not ethically be able to pursue or unable to, and that's changed the way people approach PEDs dramatically. There also wasn't really this “guru" phenomenon before the mid 90s which has just exploded in the post instagram era. A lot of knowledge was shared by bros in the gym or on early iterations of forums. But once you've got a guy who's had a decade long coaching career and has helped dozens of people win pro cards or step on the olympia stage, even if he's not statistically literate he'll notice some trends and be able to formulate better approaches and now there's such an easy way to communicate those approaches.
The big new thing post 2019 or so is people realizing that acute changes in body composition and strength from compounds like tren/winstrol/dbol/anadrol/superdrol doesn't mean actual tissue has been built. Building tissue from more anabolic and less androgenic compounds like test, deca, anavar, eq, or primo might not produce as dramatic of strength and cosmetic gains acutely, but it's where the actual contractile tissue is accumulated.
