I'm not sure why the researchers assume that this is sexual. They even designed one of the tests with only sexualized body parts in play. The experiments are about objectification, but there's no experiment here that could even verify whether it's sexual.

Yea, from reading the article it seems like the entire test was bent towards a sexual angle. Perhaps they've already done some more neutral tests and this one came after those, but it feels like they were leading the results with the format of the test.
