sexualises
Adds erotic charge
Sexualises is the British spelling of sexualizes.
To sexualise something is to make it sexual or view it in sexual terms—to imbue with sexual character or meaning.
The word often carries critical weight, suggesting inappropriate sexual framing: The ad campaign sexualises young girls.
Media critics frequently argue that popular culture sexualises women's bodies while ignoring their agency.
