OK, so I'm gay and I have a picture of a sexy guy on my computer. I know nothing about him except that he has a hot look. It's just a picture of him naked and it's sexually appealing. Is that sexist?

And I you did notice that you added the word "only" to that sentence, right? You put it in all caps. You did it in italics. But it doesn't appear in the original sentence. It just doesn't. We are reading the same language, but you are adding words to it to make that sentence mean what you want it to mean. If it had the word "only" in it, I might agree with what they were looking at. But it's not there not matter how you try to pretend it is by emphasizing it. As long as “only” is not in the sentence, the study’s definition of sexualization is overly broad and that’s why it appears to include all porn despite the fact that neither of us would include all porn as sexist. Sexualization and sexist are not the same thing.
