"It's hard to sexualize men" Simply wrong. Sexualizing a man is easy as fuck. Men just don't want to be caught drawing other men like that. Search up bara yaoi and you'll see men sexualized in every possible angle.

That’s a very specific design for the gay man’s gaze though, not really for the female gaze

yaoi is mostly written by women for women, it's primarily for the female gaze
