sexualized thinking


Explanation:
To me, "of thought" sounds formal and more like a set of intellectual ideas rather than unconscious thinking; "sexualization" has a deliberate ring to it, and seems like a process over time whereby something ends up being more sexualized than it was at the beginning.

I think what they really mean here is sexualized thinking.
