Abstract Higher levels of loneliness in men who have sex with men (MSM) are associated with negative outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and sexual impulsivity. By identifying what may reduce loneliness in MSM, counselors and public health professionals can alleviate the distress of their clients. A significant hierarchical multiple regression controlling for relationship status, F(9, 105) = 16.36, p < 0.001, R2 = .62, indicated that higher levels of self-forgiveness (β = −.19, p = .04) and perceived social support (β = −.49, p < .001) predicted lower levels of loneliness in MSM. Implications and limitations are discussed.
