I pretty much had a sucky relationship with that too, and while I didn't feel objectified, I didn't feel ready for anything that I was doing. Which is bad.
You cannot separate the self from the things you view. No one is objective, it's impossible. You can be tolerant, forgiving, open-minded, but never fully objective. Opinion is always colored with experience and always should be.
But I also have a problem that because people abuse sexuality to sell something that suddenly ANYTHING NEKKED IS BAD. Because that's missing the issue and being silly. I think that a lot of people are over-exposed to sex, but I think that it's more through marketing, and less through actual sexuality which is complicated and imperfect.
