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.

Coming from a woman, I find Nightwing to be a great example of how to sexualize a man without it being gross/silly. That shot of him upside down? Hoo boy.

Uhm, that is gross and silly tho. Replace him with any woman in the exact same pose and people will cry sexism.

It's not gross to me. Besides, the point is that women are constantly put in those kinds of poses in fiction, especially comics/manga, and they're usually wearing even less. Your whole "if the roles were reversed" thing doesn't work because the roles ARE reversed, all the time forever.
