unsexualized

Lacking sexual content

Unsexualized describes something presented or perceived without sexual qualities or implications.

An unsexualized portrayal of the human body emphasizes form over eroticism.

The term often appears in discussions of media representation: The film offered an unsexualized depiction of nudity.

It contrasts with sexualized, which adds erotic charge to things that aren't inherently sexual.
