media figuring out sex sells somewhere between 1950-1980 so most people are overly titilated day-to-day and thusly judge any nudity as sexual

nah idk just spitballing

Yeah I mean I think it's closely related to the constant sexualization of not only nudity but of basically every aspect of the human body, but I'm not sure if it's directly caused by that or if that's just another symptom. I think modern religious views of the body also sexualize pretty much all nudity but in the opposite way, where it's inherently shameful and wrong to be nude because sexuality is bad and nudity is sexual. Is that the source, or just another symptom?

I don't know, shits complicated

Media figured out sex sells way before 1950. Even the phrase "sex sells" was around as far back as the 1870s. Cigarettes used to come with nudes.
