Quote - haha, I have to disagree. Ever visited a professional ballet, a high-end fashion show or top level professional female sports event? No titties. Seen senior male executives in the hotel swimming pool? Titties!

LOLOLOL. So true.

I'm going to guess that the lack of content for male figures reflects a cultural move towards covering up the male skin.

Take a look at soccer or basketball outfits from the early 80s. Short-shorties! Watch some movies from 30 years ago, and you see what boys wore at the beach and in the pool. 

Today, a guy can't get away with shorts that reveal his knees -- even in the pool. And the tank-top (or muscle shirt) is pretty much gone too.

I predict that in two decades, we will have our men in burkas.

Meanwhile, female clothing has gone in the opposite direction. I look forward to the day that it's acceptable and common for women to go topless in public (the way it used to be for men).

There are probably all sorts of reasons for these trends. I'm sure social psychologists could have a field day analyzing the patterns. 

Is it a reflection of the fear that wearing revealing clothing will mark a guy as homosexual? Or is it a result of the idea that females are the proper object of viewing, hence lots of full frontal female nudity in TV shows and hardly any male? Is it a result of the cultural influence of heterosexual porn, in which the female is the main focus? Are the Puritanical remnants still affecting women, so that many of us still don't feel comfortable publicly relishing the aesthetic pleasure of the male form? Gees, the possibilities are endless...

I asked around, and I got this answer (paraphrased) from an art student: My friends saw my figure drawings, and the first thing they said was Why are you drawing guys? Are you gay?

So there you have it. Heterosexual men aren't supposed to look at other men (even if they're not personally hung up about it). Heterosexual women do (A LOT), but many still believe the myth that "women aren't visually oriented" (HAHA), so we're not supposed to either. Gay men certainly do like to look at men. And I thank the gods that someone does.
