“Instead of watching digitally enhanced photos of perfect superwomen, men should learn to relate to a real person”, I heard somebody say.
True. So what to do about it? Not letting them have the photos? This always reminds me of someone who takes away a kid’s favorite cuddly toy because the kid should learn to relate to a real person and not a dead object. We know it doesn’t work. Chances are it works the other way around: By granting a kid a cuddly object to form an attachment to, the kid learns not to suppress his or hers needs for attachment even at times when he or she is alone.
Could something similar be at work with men and their “need” for photos like this? Does it help them to stay in touch with their desires even if it’s not the right time to act upon them? Does it in other words protect them against emotional numbness?

Men are hard-wired to process information visually. We're the hunters; females, the gatherers. At my advanced age, I'm more sensitive to what I'm seeing in the female form: the fullness and curvature of the hips, the width of the pelvic girdle, the degree of symmetry in the face, size and set of the eyes, swell of lips, blush in the cheeks and neck, the depth of the forehead, length of arms and fingers... and of course, the shape and size of the natural breasts.
(NB: No implants for me, please. I'd prefer them small and/or saggy, rather than 'corrected' surgically. You've got a couple amongst your models, but I'd never tell who. I'm sure they have their reasons.)
To sort of answer your question then:
Men look. It's what we do. Even without consciously analyzing what we're seeing when we look at a female, we're subconsciously considering her merits as a mating partner...
Ever since I was a young boy, the very sight of an especially beautiful woman puts me in a cognitive fog (e.g., I'm a raging heterosexual). It is not sexual arousal, per se. It is rather a simultaneous gestalt of the body and mind of complete sexual compatibility. That's why we look, and what we are searching for when we look.
