Male characters are often "sexually attractive" along one of a few archetypes...
The princely character. Observe:

Muscle march again? May you never put the game down.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
