As a female gamer I find almost all men are sexualised in video games, just not in the way I would find them attractive. The industry leans toward muscular tough guys.
This is not what I look for in a man and I beleive they are based on what developers and other males believe male sexiness is like. Most women would not put physical attractiveness as the sole factor on what makes a man sexy.
A perfect example of a sexualised male, for me at least, is Alistair from Dragon Age 1.
The combination of his shyness, good looks, awkward humor and charm combined to create the 'perfect' male character for me, and was pretty much the only reason I continued with dragon age.
JRPG's are really the only games that take into account these factors but even then I find most to be lacking in something, mainly humor.
The problem for this seems to be that many games lack the depth of character and creative story writing that can bring a male character to life in a way that fully appeals to women.
SO putting male characters in skimpy outfits would not appeal to me and honestly I wouldn't view it as a game aimed at satisfying women. It might sell well, but to me the male still would not be sexualised FOR women :|
R; The fact is beefcake is never presented in quite the same manner as cheesecake. Get over it.
