Yes, naturally authors of both sexes write their own wishful fantasies and I agree that it is balancing to read the male role as objectified for a change. It's just that the things that I find really attractive are the ones where the objectifications goes away in both directions. Also, I get bored by self objectification really quickly.
I think that was the reason, why I mentioned Bujold when you were talking about searching for romance novels.the first book of her saga is essentially a romance where the parents of her future hero meet. The fact that made it attractive to me despite it containing so much romance was that both characters were extremely human and neither of them was objectified.
