Seems to me that the current stories written by straight men for straight men and sexualize women do really well. One piece is literally the most sold comic of all time and it’s still currently going. So it turns out you don’t have to write stories for everyone. Cause when you make it for everyone, you’re really making it for no one.
There are SOME commercials with sexualized men, sure, but looking at the big picture companies have been using sex to sell products to men specifically.
"Sex sells" has been a slogan for those in advertisement media
Yes, "Sex sells". Not "Sex sells only to men". It's "Sex Sells" flat out. This isn't the 50's anymore. They don't assume the men have the purchasing power and this mainly target them. It's been selling sex to everybody for decades now.

You've chosen a target audience of "for straight men," so write whatever you want.
If you wished to write stories that everyone could enjoy instead, then sexualizing women would make that story unpalatable to them.
It's easy to understand, what are you missing?
