In the world as it is, it just doesn't work. The only way it could work is if it was both men and women, and the women weren't caricatures of femininity. Hippie style, maybe it could work. Porny McSexxxy Sex style, that only adds to, as you put it, handing our sexuality to men.

One thing I've been thinking of lately is how our sexuality is just ignored. Our sexuality is replaced with what men want to see. The portrayal of sex is nearly always centered around men's desires, and that's bad.
