When the opposite is not asked (whether it objectifies men) then that, to me, delivers the answer of 'no' . . . I fail to see how the female can be objectified and the male cannot . . . or, rather, how (if one considers the female to be objectified) why they think the male cannot.
I prefer the written variety for my erotica needs to which no one asks this question, though. Porn is no different than a movie or a tv show. . . no one asks if acting objectifies women.
And those Fabio margarine spread commercials - no one cares about that, either.
Here are the other questions.
2) Does the image present a sexualized person as a stand-in for an object?
3) Does the image show sexualized persons as interchangeable?
4) Does the image affirm the idea of violating the bodily integrity of a sexualized person who can’t consent?
5) Does the image suggest that sexual availability is the defining characteristic of the person?
6) Does the image show a sexualized person as a commodity that can be bought and sold?
) Does the image treat a sexualized person’s body as a canvas?.....snip~
According to the survey to say yes....to any of them, that's exactly what it is.
