Don't really know how to explain, just very fun to watch it, my favorite type of ecchi is comedy+ecchi.

you are either an Asexual,

or by that you mean why do people just don't watch hentai?

the answer to which is:

- much worse production in every way on average.
- less investment in the characters or story, which makes the lewd scenes not as "impactful"
- you can talk about ecchi with others, but most people don't want to talk about their favorite hentai

Why do people like BL? why do some people like mahou shoujo? it's because it appeals to them, it doesn't get a very good response, because ecchi doesn't just have perverted male fans, it also has straight female fans... I believe if you don't see the appeal, it's because you're just not interested in the genre or may have some kind of repulsion or taboo with that kind of genre.

The good vibes, the energy. Ecchi (in the West) is meant as playful erotic content, not just any kind of erotic content. And also sex comedy >>> toilet humor and comedy based on screaming and exaggerated reactions

There must be a natural attraction toward the opposite sex especially if they are drawn in a risque or sensual manner. Or maybe they couldn't commit in an actual relationship so they often lusting over sexy drawings. It provides fantasy and instant dopamine just from watching. And again, just like other genres, ecchi could be good and not trashy depending on its handling of characters and story.

people are horny. horny people want to watch naked women but not fully naked. fully naked means fapping but they don't want to fap all the time while watching them so ecchi comes. it is explicit but not explicit enough to warrant a jerk off session. ecchi can also be a nice way to relax. watching partially naked women and fan-service calms and de-stresses a man like nothing else. watching a good ecchi is just pure bliss.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

First, not all Ecchi is created equal.
Second, go and watch/read Prison School. If, after that, you still cannot find the appeal in ecchi ... sorry, you tried.

the genre is kinda an eyeroll but i like some scenes here and there especially when its out of nowhere makes me kinda shout YOWZA uncontrollably
i think the demographics is key here as it is mostly targeted at teenage boy fantasies; which doesnt mean others cant find value in it obviously, different people will enjoy different things about the show
for me its very easy to tell from the vibes whether the thing has queer, lesbian or whatever sensibilities (more abundance of that stuff in mangas tho) and this is the thing makes me really excited and be like 'damn this for me bitch'
but yeah the vast majority of the stuff out there just doesnt give me that feeling u know
i dont think ure missing anything, maybe there just simply isnt anything there that gives u that excitement

Much in the same way the whole point of shounen is to provide cool scenes like fighting or whatnot, ecchi moments are all about staging enticing scenes. Think of it as the anime equivalent of tarantino directing random feet scenes in his movies just for the sake of it.
And the reason why you (and me as well as many others) feel so unimpressed is because ecchi is sloppy and it tends to fail to convey anything of value. It's not like we're prude nor do we discount the value of ecchi in favour of actual porn, it's just that there's so much of it and it's so repetitive, unimaginative, stupid that it now feels like just a waste of screentime.

It's in the basic carnal urge.
Men want to see shapely women who will certainly bear healthy children.
Women want badass men because a badass man protects the child.
It's really that simple.

More likely than not it's because you are watching shounen ecchi rather than shoujo or josei. Also, many ecchi shows honestly are kinda meh. Still, if you are going to watch ecchi you might as well pick the ones that are aimed at your demographic. Sadly, they are rather few and far between. (I'm trying to politely point out that 90% of ecchi anime are made for horny teenage boys which is probably why they are outside your strike zone.)

Maybe give Nana, Lovely Complex, From Me to You, Blue Spring Ride, and Sukitte Ii na yo a try? Yona of the Dawn is less romance focused but might be worth a try since it is an all-around great anime.

Ecchi comedy can be some of the funniest anime to watch. Using Ecchi solely for fanservice rather than laughs is where I draw the line. But of course, as long as the average anime viewer has the impulsivity of a hormonal teen, sex will always sell.
I like apple pie. I also like gaming. Man's two greatest inventions.
