I don't think sexualized media makes people more horny, but it can alter young peoples expectations of sex and possibly adults fantasies/sexuality.

Sexualized media does make me more horny. Sample of 1 but I'm pretty confident I'm not the sole exception.
You can google "using porn to get in the mood" to see other people certainly get horny watching sexualized media.

Can it? Is there a study confirming that sexual development can be altered that way? Maybe to some degree, I have no idea, but in the past people also thought homosexuality is "learned" which proved to be false.
As the study above points out, violent videos games don't make you more violent but I'm pretty confident sexy media (games, movies, music, etc) make people more horny and therefore more likely to seek out sex. Also, since sex is something people do in the normal course of their lives (vs violence which is not a normal part of someone's live) the media they consume is more likely to influence their behavior. It's a manual for something they hope to participate in vs violence, something they don't hope to participate in.
