Alex, Germaine Greer, intellectual, writer and feminist, has written a book on this subject, starting exactly from the same question.
As a woman, she claimed the right to appreciate male beauty as man do with young girls.
The book is called "The boy" and talks about the figure of the boy in history, mythology and art.
She basically blames moral for having deprived the modern world of male beauty, which was instead appreciated, as we know, in tha ancient world.
The book is a very interesting read
