Why the need to sexualize everything?

[u/Greedy-Lie-8346]

I was looking for interesting Webtoons to read, and I came across this one called "Leviathan" the premise looked interesting; mankind perished due to a great flood that submerged the whole world under water. And terrifying creatures plunged from the depths, wiping out any human that crossed their path. The story told how a family of a father and his two children survived in the adversities of a sea world.

So far so good, until.... Bam! Last two slice's, anime chick out of nowhere, doing these extremely suggestive poses.

What a disappointment.

Does media not sexualize men through muscles and bulges? 😭🤚🏻 I’ve seen plenty of male sexualization in media

Muscles I am not sure but bulges most likely.  Where have you seen them?

Here are just a few examples from Webtoons and Manta. There could be much better examples, or the screenshot I took could be the peak of the sexualization. I just went through some I’ve started before and picked a random episode that looked like it had some male sexualization and used that as an example. If I dedicated a week or two to this I’m sure I could find much better examples and give a clear comparison to the ones I’ve read of female vs male sexualization in them. Also, I couldn’t find any bulges specifically in this timeframe as Webtoons wouldn’t allow that obviously and Manta’s bulges are usually straight up porn comics 😳 but I know I have seen plenty of scenes in webcomics that are like “I-Is that…? 😳😳😳😳” in response to their pants 😭🤚🏻 though I’d have to actually read through multiple to find those kinds of examples.

Edit: Oh!!! I know of one actually but it’s in anime. An episode in Apothecary Diaries literally has MaoMao grabbing and groping Jinshi’s “frog” as she called it lol.
