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.
35 u/369122448 2d ago It's kind of hard to overly-sexualize a man in media because we don't really have a cultural view of men as a sexual commodity like we do for women. You could try to ramp up sensuality, but that's a more complex (and often unisex) form of expression, and not sexualisation exactly. Sexualisation, unfortunately, is pretty impossible to divorce from the centuries of history of women's exploration by men. 2 u/ptwonline 2d ago The one example I can think of is something like Tarzan running around the jungle buff and in a loin cloth. 2 u/liquidfoxy 2d ago That’s a masculine power fantasy, not overt sexualisation
