oversexualizing
Adding undue carnality
Oversexualizing is presenting or interpreting something in excessively sexual terms.
The criticism usually targets media portrayals—oversexualizing female characters in video games—or attitudes toward people who shouldn't be viewed sexually: Stop oversexualizing teenagers.
The word implies that some degree of sexualization might be appropriate, but the line has been crossed.
