I believe they put "not" in front of "explicit" for this reason

That's not how 'but' works, also the word 'explicit' is used differently here.
I read it as
"this is not an explicit image of looking up a woman's body, but it is implied"
I take issue with the but part, which "implies" it was intentional. I'm not in a place to judge that, but I can definitely see the "implied" imagery
... if we can further mix the connotations of the words from the comment we are talking about, without increasing confusion...
