>The bathers of both sexes romp, laugh, and perform all kinds of antics in which the actual nudity of the men is infinitely less offensive to our sense of decency than the modest immodesty of the clinging gossamer vestment in which the females cover, without hiding, their forms.

Wow, what a double standard. A woman wearing wet clothes is considered more scandalous, than a totally naked man?!

Well, first this is late 19th century Victorian England, it's a bit late to be offended about sexism in the society.

But it's not necessarily a double standard, there can be more eroticism in a wet piece of clothing that tries to hide but reveals in fact a lot, than in bare nudity which is the natural state and not that shocking all things considered.

In many parts of the world, a fully-clothed woman who is exposing her face (let alone hair) is considered scandalous.

Still a double standard, but unfortunately not limited to the Victorian era.

Well, males are very "interested" in the female form.

Females in the male form, not so much beyond a certain point (for the same reason males enjoy lesbian porn, but women don't particularly care for gay male porn).

A few exceptions aside, most males just aren't that interesting to look at.

You are so very wrong about that. Though it is true that women generally prefer written porn to visual.

Well, not that wrong, though there's this media idea of some women admitting they are watching gay porn etc, which they blow as on the rise or even prevalent. Still, according to PornHub:

  Moving on to search terms. Women seem to have a lot of love 
  for ‘lesbian’ porn. The term dominated women’s top 
  searches. From ‘lesbian scissoring’ to ‘lesbian seduces 
  straight’ even to ‘lesbian threesome’ there was a definite 
  request for anything female on female among our female 
  viewers. And while the ladies’ preference was ‘Lesbian’ by 
  a long shot.
They also provide preferred search terms and preferred categories for men and women, and gay related stuff is not in the top 10.

There exist measuring rulers that are less straight than I am, but I have seen plenty of men who I find "interesting" to look at.

When you get down to it, the physical appearance of women isn't all that interesting: a butt that's maybe wider than mine, a couple of bags of fat where their pecs ought to be, and for the most part you can't even see their genitals. Move along, nothing to see here.

May I guess that you are heterosexual male who does not have good looking friends?

Gay porn is targeted at dudes, stuff targeted at women involve differently looking men.

Yes, but that would be beside the point, as I'm talking about the average male, not "good looking" ones or Tom Hiddleston in a suit.
