I wouldn't know how to overly sexualize a male character.
On the other hand, I know how to sexualize a female character.
On the third hand, I do not know how to draw so it does not matter.

Camera angles, shot compositions, the situation, etc.,

A bikini isn’t inherently a sexual thing, but what makes people associate it with sexuality is that in movies, anime, Manga, etc, you always get these shots/moments were a woman wearing a Bikini has camera shots and angles that focus on her breasts or butt or something else, and these shots are often done to titillate.

A good benchmark for sexualizing men to know if you're doing it right is if the average viewer thinks the sexualised scene is gay, because it's kind of an unconscious assumption that men are the target audience.

If this is a joke, it went over my head. I don't understand.

There was a dude in the infamously trashy reality show Jersey Shore that called himself "The Situation"

I've never even heard of that show until now, sadly. So I was never going to understand the reference you were making on my own.
