Objectification is a mostly (if not entirely) subjective concept. What you may consider objectifying, others might not.

For me, I believe that;

Attraction itself is NOT objectifying. It is your private thoughts, private thoughts (by definition) are morally neutral as long as you do not act upon them ( https://blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethics/2017/11/11/pedophilia-and-child-sexual-abuse-are-two-different-things-confusing-them-is-harmful-to-children/ ).

The way that you conduct your romantic life and sex life can be objectifying, especially if you break the law or do something to put yourself or someone else in danger.

The line between what does and does not count as objectifying is a bit blurry.

That is just my opinion, of course.
