You're not weird.  I find most of the women I meet sexually attractive.  Most
of my male friends are the same way (as in your article, the lawns outside the
women's dorms are popular sightseeing spots on warm, sunny days).  I haven't
talked to many women on this topic in any detail; but those I have talked to
generally admit to finding many males attractive.

The fact that I do find so many women sexually attractive is one of the things
that makes it harder to handle not being in a non-"platonic" relationship,
especially when the weather is warm and women's clothing leaves little to the
imagination.  The lust runs high in the summer (not that it's low in the
winter!).

Note, however, that while I find many women physically attractive, that
doesn't mean I'm full-fledgedly attracted to them; i.e. while their bodies may
be such as to encourage men to desire to copulate with them, that doesn't mean
that I would necessarily want to date them; I have known numerous women who
had superb bodies but whom I disliked as persons.  Apparently you feel the
same about men.  That's also perfectly normal.

From yet another "shy male virgin",
