Not 'sexualized,' but......

The non-word "sexualized" seems to be catching on, despite all the fundamental flaws in the concept.

We are all sexual from well before birth. So you can't sexualize what is already sexual.

But along with the assumption that children aren't sexual ( or sexy, ) comes the corollary; that they are made sexy by resembling adults more. Every story assumes that Pedophiles respond to heavy makeup, padded bras &tc.

I've finally come up with an apt term to describe this misconception from our POV. Those kids aren't being "sexualized," they're being "adulterated."

Adulterate: [ verb ] To render something poorer in quality by adding another substance, typically an inferior one. :)
