It's a subject which has arisen before, hasn't it. Still kinda irritates me too.
To start with, when people happen to remark on the huge amount of females in art compared to males, I notice that a lot of females blame "sexist" male artists who go for big boobs and butts.
Actually, from observation I've noted that most male artists have a tendency to go for landscapes, nature photography, and more technical type pictures.
Thus, this female obsession is not coming from them, but female artists themselves. I use the word 'obsession' because, just as an example in the style of photo manipulation, it would seem placing a female in your art has almost become mandatory...?! With such a massive output of such pictures, hasn't it become rather common and uninspiring? It rarely varies either... have we not all seen the female in the flowing dress looking wistful or melancholy?
Ironic too, isn't it... if a male artist portrays a heap of semi erotic males in his gallery, he would probably be considered gay. If a female artist portrays other women this way, this is not naturally assumed.
I adore the male form and appreciate his role in art. I do not think there is anything special or better about the female form. And I'm further perplexed on why males are often overlooked by female artists.

Disbelief 
Though I'll be sure to let you know
Seriously though, the lack of males in art is puzzling me too. Men can be handsome/beautiful too, and if an artist can make them portray an emotion, all the better.
Now that is interesting what you say, that women are not comfortable working with male models. Why do you think that is? Cos i have no idea at all! I am very comfortable with the male form. Whilst i do mainly wolves/landscape here, my other account is purely for male beauty ^^
Or rather: I know two girls who draw men, but they are reluctant to show them to anyone outside close circle of friends. It's all about 'what people will think of me?' problem, which is still very much present in Poland.
This kind of counteracts with the increasing amount of chicks who carve number of their mating partners into their bed posts though.
Sorry if I blundered XD I'm a rather taboo-less person. Oops.
I like what you said about male sexuality being more dignified. Yes, i would definitely agree there! Female sexuality is totally exploited. Females complained for years that they were tired of being treated as sex objects, but it would seem they didn't mind, so long as they themselves did the exploiting and not the men.
Being that I am much older than the average deviant, it may be that maturity brings more comfort with portraying male nudity, which isn't necessarily sexual.
A lot of emphasis these past years has gone on females and sexuality. I think they've kind of left the males behind and perhaps it is due in part that females don't really understand the male sex
I guess i've got experience on my side
