I've always preferred yaoi over hentai, despite enjoying reading about straight relationships as well, and recently, I realized why: I have absolutely no interest in seeing the female body or female sexuality. I'm interested in men, not women, so what I'd really rather see are loving depictions of the male body and male sexuality. And that's when I came to the horrible realization: Does that even exist? In all the hentai (which is, admittedly, very little), ecchi, and smut manga I've read, the focus has almost always been on the female body with almost no attention being given to the male! This is even the case in female-oriented stories, which has always baffled me. If the intended audience is straight women, why so much emphasis on the female body when the audience would very much prefer to see the manly bits? Women appreciate a nice piece of eye candy just as much as men do!

So what I'm looking for are manga of any genre/demo (hentai, smut, even clean) that have a lot of focus placed on the male body and/or male sexuality. What I DON'T want are traps, shota or shota-looking, or anything else that is basically "female but with that one male part." I want, if possible, beautiful, full-figured men who look and act their gender (which isn't to say I don't love androgyny -- I do, I just don't want characters that are so traditionally feminine that they could easily be swapped out for females with no one the wiser). I will make exceptions for stories like Forced Crossdressing Whore Boy, where the shota acts more traditionally masculine (at least at first). Also, it probably goes without saying, but no yaoi, as it's kind of a given that there will be male sexuality there (and I'm already quite well-versed in the genre). 😛

Stories I've enjoyed with elements of this include:

Tosaku no Honey (a very strange shoujo that focuses on the male lead's sexual fetish)

Satanic Sweet (again, focuses on the male character's fetish and sexuality)

So... any recs? Please tell me such manga actually exist. 🤢
