Yeah, sorry, but if you find anything about Kiki's servicy in the classic
sense*, you need to seriously consider not being a lolicon.
As to your original point, generalizations for the fail. Yes, many anime and
manga series aimed at males do have classic service, but by no means "most."
And there is this other genre called shoujo that, being aimed towards girls, has
far, far less fan service in the classic sense. Research more before posting
next time, please.

* By classic sense, I mean T&A. Fan service can be just about anything in a
show that is over the top designed primarily to please fans, such as lots of
mecha in a mecha show, constant romantic melodrama in shoujo, etc.
