EXPLANATION: There are two factors behind why gay men enjoy drinking iced coffee. The first factor is temperature. Gay men have an average body temperature that is .3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than their heterosexual counterparts and the 40°F temperature of iced coffee lets them drink it faster. Factor two is caffeine. It helps them run 10 minutes late instead of 15 minutes late. And it also helps them get moving for the day.
