“…Moreover, a review has been carried out of Krebbekx (2021) stresses the relevance of male abdominal muscles in social media as a representation of masculinity (Drummond and Drummond, 2015). Ali and Qamar (2020) focus on body’s full or partially appearance to strength its objectivisation as a result of audiences desires (Aorlotti, 2018). Based on these studies, and in the case of male adolescents (among other factors), coding has been carried out regarding the appearance of the torso and prominent musculature, comments that speak of women from a physical point of view, military and sporty clothes, accessories, and the appearance of cars and weapons as components of their masculinity.…”

The research addresses whether adolescents are increasing their self-sexualisation on TikTok through content analysis. It has studied the type and number of sexualising features present in the videos that Spanish and British teenagers share on the social network TikTok, offering a comparative view. A total of 447 videos from 12 British and 12 Spanish tiktokers aged 11 to 17 have been analysed, considering their gender and age and comparing both nationalities. A high level of self-sexualisation has been found in the videos of adolescents of both genders and nationalities. The results show that age and gender determine the sexualising characteristics included in their videos and that British and Spanish minors do not use the same sexualising codes, although neither nationality is more sexualised than the other. It has been confirmed that boys and girls self-sexualise in similar proportions. Age determines sexualising characteristics they incorporate in their audio–visual productions, which indicate the blurring of traditional stereotyped roles and the unification of sexual codes that have traditionally been considered a female domain.

“…256-257). Nussbaum's framework is a reference in gender studies and has been employed to examine female and male sexualization in music videos, finding «increased sexual hostility and stereotypical portrayals against women» (Qamar et al, 2021, p.137) and that men can be sexually objectified as well (Ali & Qamar, 2020).…”

Feminist theory has extensively explored the sexualization of women’s images across time. Women are sexually objectified in music videos, TV series, ads, cinema, video games, and other types of audiovisual content. Scholarship has acknowledged, for instance, that women’s visual objectification in news, publicity, and cinema can lead to discrimination and gender-based violence. Audiovisual content is especially impactful, while digital content has a broader and more immediate reach than other types of content. On the one hand, the consumption of music videos and other digital content among minors is rising. On the other hand, music videos influence the normalization of gender violence and gender stereotypes in girls and boys. Despite its importance, until now, there is no conceptual framework of the sexualization of women in music videos. What elements compose the sexual objectification of women in music videos? What dimensions does it encompass? Can they be operationalized to serve as a basis for further analysis? Based on a literature review and analysis by three gender experts of five of the most popular music videos on YouTube in 2020, this article offers a new framework that can serve as a reference. This topic is especially relevant in the age of platforms because, once these videos are online in the public domain, they become the basis for biased algorithmic decision-making.

“…En la infancia, las niñas que manifiestan comportamientos de autoobjetivación sexual, también denominado autosexualización (más adelante AS), son consideradas por sus padres como menos competentes a nivel académico (Starr y Zurbriggen, 2019) y por sus pares como menos atléticas, inteligentes y amables (Stone et al, 2015); además, la AS en niños limita el apoyo social que puedan recibir de sus compañeros ante situaciones de intimidación, acoso o maltrato (Pacilli et al, 2019), y altera la percepción de los maestros variando la forma en cómo los evalúan (Cabras et al, 2018). , 2011) promueven conductas de AS: las mujeres son representadas mediante el uso de ropa provocativa, la realización de gestos faciales provocadores y bailes sexualizados, donde suele incluirse el señalamiento explícito de partes íntimas (Aubrey et al, 2017;Qamar et al, 2021); en cambio, los varones son representados como acompañantes silenciosos, bailando y realizando movimientos provocadores (Ali y Qamar, 2020). La exposición a este tipo de contenido sexualizado se asocia a un estado de ánimo depresivo, disfunciones sexuales y una mayor vergüenza o ansiedad por el cuerpo en adultos (Slater y Tiggemann, 2016).…”

La visualización deliberada de contenido sexualizado en medios de comunicación altera el desarrollo normativo del infante, produciendo afectación en todas las áreas de funcionamiento de la infancia. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la relación entre la visualización de contenido sexualizado en TikTok y videos musicales de YouTube con la autosexualización infantil; para ello se empleó un enfoque de investigación cuantitativo, de diseño no experimental, de corte transversal y de alcance correlacional. Para la medición de las variables se aplicó dos cuestionarios, uno de 13 ítems tipo likert a una muestra de 166 niños entre 7 y 9 años de edad, de los cuales 53,6% eran niños y 46,4% niñas; y otro a 15 docentes. Los resultados evidencian que 9 de cada 10 niños han realizado un Trend con movimientos corporales sexualizados, siendo estos bailes una de las manifestaciones de la autosexualización que se relaciona con la visualización activa de contenido sexualizado en TikTok y videos musicales de Pop. Se concluye que, si bien ver videos sexualizados se relaciona con el desarrollo de algunos comportamientos de autosexualización, existen otros factores que también intervienen en este proceso, como la socialización entre compañeros sobre el contenido visualizado en las plataformas seleccionadas. Se recomienda la elaboración de programas psicoeducativos enfocados en desarrollar actitudes y aptitudes en los cuidadores hacia el uso correcto de las TIC’s y la sexualidad en la infancia
