I am so tired of it too and it's not just TV but the media in general because the front covers of newspapers/magazines have half-naked women on them and numerous advertising billboards, shop window posters etc too. I literally can't remember when I last saw a sexualised image of a naked/half-naked guy anywhere; it's like men are invisible in the media and I can't help feeling that if the situation was reversed men would absolutely hate their wives/girlfriends looking at other men's bodies everywhere they turned.
I've had partners in the past who've understood and have been respectful of my feelings but my current one reacts with anger if I calmly say I feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed by all the nudity. To me it feels like cheating. I know it's not, but it's like it's saying "look what you could have if you weren't with her". I dread turning on the TV or going to the cinema with my partner because the media is so one-sided.
