The whole “sex object” complaint never made sense to me tbh.
The key word here is object. When people complain about sexual objectification, most often they are complaining about people being treated as if they were sexual objects devoid of agency. There is nothing wrong with sex.
I just never saw it that way. Like there’s object as in inanimate thing, or there’s object as in object of the sentence, which is just the entity that isn’t doing the verb in the sentence, but that doesn’t imply they can’t be the subject of another sentence or that removing their agency is ok. There’s a difference between desiring someone and not caring what they desire.
