性感象征

性感象征（英语：sex symbol），指某一个著名的女性或男性被大众发现非常有性魅力或非常有性吸引力，而成为性感的代言人^[1]^[2]。

社会对女性的美的标准和宣传，会对绝大多数的女性造成压力。研究显示，绝大多数的（70%）女性认为能代表自己的人物中在日常图像中并未得到充分的展现，且绝大多数的女性都认为自己感受到媒体中不真实的美的标准的压力；^[3]另外性感化并不总是好的选择，像例如虽然电玩女性常常性感化，但性感化的设计并不总是受欢迎，甚至男性也不欢迎此类的设计。一项于2020年进行、涵盖2,006名年纪超过16岁、横跨英国与美国的电玩玩家的调查显示，62%的女性玩家及50%的男性玩家认为游戏的女角经常被过度性化。^[4]
