All I get from this is we lack interesting and varied ways to sexualize men.

We have interesting and varied ways to sexualize men, people just don't do it because of social pressure. Male sexualization causes all kinds of weird backlash, so it tends to get reserved for queer or niche women only spaces. It gets labeled as "fetish" content. It often gets mocked and laughed at. It is policed heavily by insecure men and women who seek their approval.

You have to go somewhere where that policing has less reach and power to find it.
