According to me portrayal of people as an object for sexual desire is also a crime. Sexual objectification is a neutral language. Treating a person as an object for one’s own sexual gratification is a morally reprehensible act. Provocative content may elicit a sexual response. Adults watching provocative content loose their control over their sexual desire, as it increases their level of testosterone and estrogen. It also stimulates their brain, releasing neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin which can trigger sexual arousal and attachment. As a result, these adults develop a complexity of human sexuality and attraction towards others regardless of their gender. The perpetrators should be held accountable for their actions regardless of gender. The real problem is not just about what the perpetrators do, but also about how people label them. People tend to categorize things good or bad based on their own perspectives and that’s the real problem. If sexual objectification is a crime then people who tends to trigger it also a culprit. There are some people who believe that sexual objectification is acceptable between life partners, but it can still be harmful and perpetuate unhealthy dynamics. It is essential to understand that mutual respect, communication, consent, boundaries and emotional intelligence are crucial not only in a relationship but also among other people and objectification can undermine these values.
