Younger adults who had a greater exposure to rap videos are two times more likely to have multiple sexual partners and over 1.5 times more likely to have contributed a disease. Those who watch violent and sexist music videos affects young people’s sexual and violent behaviors and attitudes towards their own gender sex roles as well as in intimate relationships with their partners. The main thing that everyone can obviously see is that in any media where women are sexualized is saying that women are “sex objects”.[1] It's like in pornography, women are the center of attention because it's for a male audience. Since it's for the male audience, males think that's what women want or how they are. Which in most cases, it's not always like that, it's just for show.
Majority of the viewers who do end up watching videos with some sexual content, go through withdrawals with their body image because their body isn’t as good or isn’t nice like the women’s body in the video. Since some viewers who do watch music videos, most of the individuals will do anything to get their body to be the same or somewhat the same as the artist in the music video. Either way, sexualization in music videos cause a decline in body image, lead to depression, eating disorder, decreases communication in their social life, and anxiety.

The most common of self-sexualization is shown through the media. “71% of music videos portray sexually objectifying women” (cite). Majority of the music videos by women was related to depression, and once younger women viewers realize it, it’ll lead to one’s appearance, anxiety and a depression state.

[topic added] SEXUALIZATION
There are four different types of sexualization: favoring sexual self-objectification, relating sexual desirability to self-esteem, equating physical attractiveness with being sexy, and lastly contextualizing sexual boundaries. The first type of sexualization, favoring sexual subjectification, is when a women treats herself as an sexual object, but the treatment is chosen by the woman. The second type of sexualitzation, equating physical attractiveness with being sexy, is that being physically attractive is the equivalent to looking sexy but they are not physically atrractive unless they look sexy. If they’re not physically attractive, they need to look sexy to appear physically attractive. The third type of sexualization, relating sexual desirability to self-esteem, is being sexually desirable to be satisfied. For example, “she may base her self-esteem on other contingencies besides beings sexually desirable, such as others’ approval, but her self-esteem is also dependent on sexual desirability” (Choi & DeLong, 1365). And lastly, the fourth type of sexualization, contextualizing sexual boundary, is considered because it violates sexuality social norms. Either one of these types of sexualization will have a positive or a negative affects on the viewer. [3]

According to a study that Oyesomi and Salawu did, women who show off their body have no respect for themselves, but they’re comfortable in their skin, meaning they’ll show off as much as they want. It shows or sends a message to viewers that no matter the size or shape you are, if you’re comfortable with your body, there’s nothing wrong with showing off what you got. (cite)

Many pop, R&B, and rap songs portray: “(1) messages of men in power over women, (2) sex being a top priority for men, (3) the objectification of women, (4) sexual violence against women, (5) women being defined by having a man, (6) and women as not valuing themselves.” (cite) Women have the sexual role of pleasing men in many occasions when it comes to film or music, sending the message out to society that women are still sex objects, depending on their physical appearance.
