Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

You never get full frontal of dudes because many of even the most sex-positive people hold a double standard against penises. Any time a penis might have to be on screen, it's vulgar to them and at most belongs in humor.
They do show them now, although a lot less frequently. What's fucked up about it is that they use giant prosthetic penises, and the majority of men already have insecurities around that area, regardless of their size.
I remember seeing people complain that Game of Thrones has too many dicks swinging around. I can remember one specifically from the entirety of the show: towards the beginning of the show, possibly season 2 or 3, there was an assassination plot against Khaleesi and they left one of them alive so they could pull him with their horses while he was naked and bound. That's the only one I remember seeing from that whole show.
And then in The Boys there's only like two they've shown so far? Who is seeing all these dicks where there aren't any?
I mean, The Boys isn't a great example. It's kinda rife with dicks. There's guys hanging dong, there's people going inside dicks, there's exploding dicks, there's self-elongating dicks, there's (in the spin off) a person climbing a dick.
