What is sexualization?

We gleefully wallow in neo-Puritan sex-phobia,

all under the guise of criticizing “sexualization”

#SPR860

A radical change in the way we see ourselves, our bodies, and sexuality, and normal human interactions, coincides with the meteoric rise of the word "sexualize"

I went to high school in the 1980s, and everyone was saying all the same things back then too.

I have absolutely no doubt that this exact same message was conveyed in the 70s, in the 60s, in the 50s... people are ALWAYS complaining "There's too much sex in media these days."

The Word Sexualize Has Hijacked Our Minds

Never used before about 1995 the skyrocketing popularity of the word "to sexualize" represents not only a brand new concept, but also a profound paradigm shift in the way we think about our bodies and our sex lives.

I got attacked by trolls on lemm.ee and the admin over there, in his infinite wisdom, decided to punish me for getting bullied.

Sexy has positive connotations. Sexual is neutral. Sexualized has negative connotations.

The first two have been almost completely replaced by the third over the last 20 years. It's a profound change in the way we perceive the world.

Elvis was the demon

Everybody said that Elvis moving his hips on stage was causing terrible harm :-)

Every generation has some idiotic bogey man which is sexual and destroying society :-)

Today it's "sexualized culture" :-D

#Ridiculous

It's okay to admit that the human body is sexual. It's okay to admit that lots of art has sexy bodies in it. Sexual is not something that only exists in the minds of perverts.

Sarah Silverman shows us the bizarre new #PuritanRevival ideology.

If "sexualization" exists, we think it's a bad thing why?

In the 90s watching Baywatch we all knew that the lifeguards were sexy.

Today they're not sexy but "sexualized"

which is the same except with negative connotation.

There's the extra idea that they shouldn't be portrayed that way.

Can anyone give me any sort of indicator?

How I can distinguish “I think Hasselhoff is sexy”

from “I am sexualizing Hasselhoff”?

When Playboy published nude photos of Pamela Anderson was that sexualization?

Was somebody harmed by that?

Pamela says it was great for her.

If you think the existence of nude photos in Playboy is harmful, present your evidence.

I’m eager to see it.

Insane Puritans think that sexual = bad but twerking is ok, so clearly twerking is not sexual.
