I guess it is because I'm male and I can see it all the time but still... you see it so often it never felt like fanservice to me, only when the briefs come off. Or when they are oiled up like in 300.
An attractive male with a bare chest can definitely be fanservice. The problem is that it is not directly comparable to a topless woman, because women's breasts are more erotically charged in our culture. It should be compared to a woman in her underwear (with sexy bra on).

"Sweet Haelga,
Last night was the most wonderful night of my life. The things you showed me... the things we did... I could never have dreamt that it was possible. Who even knew that someone could manipulate their body in that manner while wearing Daedric armor boots? You are a true master of the Dibellan Arts, my love... a credit to your religion. Perhaps we'll meet again soon but next time, allow me to bring the trout.
Your Secret Lover"
