Social work: Journal of National Association of Social Workers 2016, Vol. 61, No. 1Summary: Social work researchers have begun to advocate for the inclusion of issues surrounding the sexualization of women and girls into human sexuality research (Bay-Cheng, 2013; McCave, Shepard, & Winter, 2014). Sexualization pervades all forms of products marketed to girls (American Psychological Association [APA], 2007). Mainstream stores sell little girls’ padded bras and thongs with childlike frills, blurring lines between childhood and adulthood (Levin, 2005), while clothing ads display teenage girls posing erotically with taglines like “Sex Sells.”
