Honestly naked men's bodies just aren't that aesthetically pleasing to look at. Like Playgirl magazine for example is just so much... I don't know... non-hotness. I get more turned on watching rusty antique restoration videos on youtube. Here's a disembodied pair of man's hands sandblasting rust off an old axe head... here's a disembodied pair of man's hands turning a new screw in a metal lathe... Here's a brief glimpse of a man's broad shoulders as he hangs powder-coated parts in the curing cabinet...

Lol... I would agree that men doing things tends to be more attractive than men standing there being naked. But naked male bodies that are fit, especially if the man also has an attractive face - they can be very hot.

There's also a fairly long tradition of media made by and aimed at gay males that is all about admiring and ogling male bodies. Mapplethorpe, Tom of Finland and so on. But this media is not predominant in the world at large coz most of the world's inhabitants are not gay males, and most of the men who run the world are not gay either.

However, in certain sectors - such as fashion/clothes design, cosmetics, hair styling and photography - there's a longstanding tradition of gay males focusing on female bodies - examining, fetishizing, idealizing, drawing, painting, photographing, designing for, making up, styling, curating, fussing over, dressing up and undressing female bodies.

And there's always been a certain segment of the gay male population - transvestites, drag queens, HSTS & today's same-sex attracted "trans" males - who are totally focused on studying, imitating, wishing for, impersonating, parodying, envying and coveting female bodies.

Now with the normalization of surrogacy, many bog standard gay males also think it's their human right to be able to access/rent female bodies to gestate and give birth to children for them, and to provide them with eggs too.
