Shirtless men and ripped, hot men with muscled bodies. All over in magazines, advertisements, billboards, etc.
I feel like this was less common even 15 years ago and it was all about women half-nude women before.

This is an observation and not a complaint, right?

To answer more seriously, it's a combination of things. Part of it is that advertisers have noticed the purchasing power of gay men and are pandering more to the community. Another part is that Instagram and social media is fueling the whole muscle/sixpack body image to teens and young men. Also, women are more encouraged and probably feel more open to ogling men in more gratuitous ways than before.

The Calvin Klein men's underwear ads of the 1990's revolutionized the portrayal of male sexuality in North America.

I'm sure it has nothing to with Madison Avenue realizing that women are the purchasers in the economy.

Usually it's a gay creative director selling it in to a female marketing director, when they're not having cosmos and shopping for shoes. Gay marketing directors prefer wholesome gay families acting normally. I know first hand in a few of the cases in the link.

There's a strong, latent homoerotic streak amongst even straight men. That's why Big Dicks are the #1 search porn item for straight men. Everybody subconsciously enjoys a good looking, shirtless man.

Just don’t call it “gay.” Straight dudes are admiring peak male physiques too.

Women have been objectified like this for decades. It's only fair to return the favor.

Yes, it is. It is very, very gay, "bro."

Though kind of tame now, this Calvin Klein underwear ad from 1982 was pretty revolutionary.

In 10 years, full frontal erect cocks will be used to advertise everything from ovens to pumpkin spice.

OPs ads look like male perfume ads which have always featured hot nude men.
I remember jerking off to the David Gandy in some perfume ad (D&G?) when I was a teenager

Should women ogle men? I thought they were above that. Don't they hate being wolf whistled etc? Or are they just hypocrites?

R32 no dude it's true many women moan about being ogled and whistled at but somehow they find it ok to do it themselves. Are you going to tell me I'm wrong?

Funny how the more skinnier/ripped (and hairless?) a model is, the more likely he is to be near nude. Imagine a fitfat or chubbier guy in the same poses? Yeah, it wouldn't happen.

Nobody wants to see a chubby nude guy R34

R33: You are wrong. Most women won't act that way, only a minority do. It's the inverse for men. And to enjoy a pic of a nude male is different from catcalling and being an obnoxious ass.

I've noticed not only more scantily clad men in advertising lately (which I appreciate), but more same-sex couples subtly placed in commercials among other couples/families as well. Our cable company - Comcast - does target advertising, so I'm sure it knows a gay couple lives here. The same commercials probably aren't being shown to everyone in Redneck, Kentucky.

I’d need to see some more examples before I decide if it’s happening more.

I work in the ad biz and, basically, men don't make any purchasing decisions on their own any more. Maybe what beer to buy or whatnot but most of the purchases a family makes are done solely by the woman or, at most, in concert with the man. They will agree on big purchases (house, car, vacation, etc) but literally everything else, from clothes to food to toiletries, the purchasing decision is made by the woman. Even single men don't make a ton of purchasing decisions on their own. They usually find a woman to help them buy clothes (mom, sister, girlfriend) or if they are outfitting their apartment, they rely on delivery services (Amazon, etc) and will just get whatever is there. They are picky about TV shows to watch/streaming subscriptions, sports teams and video games and that's about it. Also, men don't watch TV much, except sports.

(R3) women care more about a man's $$$ value first than his social standing and lastly his looks.
