So if a man leaves the gym feeling really good about his body and how his clothes fit it, is that not a sensual experience? His desire is in no way connected to his confidence and feeling in his body? Would people struggle to understand that and describe it as either "lewdness" or men's "attraction to their own bodies"?

Why is female sexuality always treated as so exotic and incomprehensible?

The statistic that always inspires these weird conversations is something about women replying affirmatively to fantasizing about their bodies. Do men's fantasies never involve how their body feels and is looked at and touched, like living both parts? Maybe not because their imaginal realm is stunted by porn. But it's not the same thing as wanting to have sex with yourself. Christ.
