They’re a secondary sexual characteristic, so it seems like something that would get attention.

IIRC from high school psychology, so forgive me if I’m way off base, but I don’t think fetishes for sexual characteristics are actually fetishes.

Listen, don’t tell anybody, but I’ve got a real boob fetish.

Asking why a fetish isn’t common is kinda oxymoronic, in a way, considering all true fetishes are pretty rare. If you just mean ‘why aren’t they seen as attractive by straight women/other male-attracted groups’ then I can assure you they are.

The whole neck, collar bone, shoulder and peck area is like, my favorite part of the male form, and I am not alone by a long shot. Maybe talk to more women about this stuff lol.

Lots of us appreciate several parts of male anatomy in similar ways that straight men do female anatomy.

I don’t think it counts as a fetish if it’s a common thing to be attracted to

It does. Mazophilia is the female breast fetish.

Right, but that’s just a label people added lately to try and invalidate normal male sexuality.
