desexualized
Stripped of eroticism
Desexualized means stripped of sexual characteristics, content, or appeal.
A desexualized portrayal removes erotic elements: The film's desexualized version of the character disappointed fans of the novel.
The term often describes how media, institutions, or social norms neutralize sexuality: School dress codes desexualized students' bodies.
It can also describe people rendered nonsexual through age, illness, or cultural perception.
