The term “sexualization” itself only emerged in Anglophone discourse in recent decades.
Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, the term was infrequently drawn upon by English writers to refer the assignation of a gendered frame to a particular object, such as the gendering of nouns (e.g., de Quincey [1839]1909, 195).
When a person's body or body parts are separated from them as a person so that they are reduced to the status of an object, devoid of thought or feeling.
