France and Italy have ads with nudity in them and even on billboards. How come they're comfortable with sexuality?

I thought the body's natural state is to be prudish and reserved when it comes to nakedness and sex.

Classical art culture and some variations in sex appeal are all that separate us from them. ~ Europe is big place too. I'm not sure what youre saying is true for all of Europe.

Fake Christianity in America, it thrives a lot with Mega churches and TV evangelical Christians type. They hate gay marriage then also complain government is too powerful. I really dont like the ones that go to church on Sunday then do whatever they please the rest of the week, and at church they just gossip about each other

Oh look at us we picture idealic wholesome American family, Trump was a Godsend President-MAGA

Fundies aren't really Christian, either.
Their identity revolves around a book that espouses love and compassion while they themselves more often than not are selfish assholes, but it's all okay in their mind because apparently their firm belief in God entitles them access to heaven.

I feel like even the Americans who aren't Christian tend to be very prudish. Like they're worried about things like boobs in Mortal Kombat. Extreme violence is fine, just no sex.

I was just posting about this in the Elliot Page topic, as it made me realize how ridiculous it actually is that in the U.S. female nipples are always heavily censored, but male nipples are always ok, regardless of context. It's like people never really stop to think for a second why certain are to be considered offensive but other equivalents aren't.

I saw a British dating show.
The contestant (guy, woman, couple) stands in front of six closed boxes.
The boxes raises and shows the lower part of the persons (based on the contestants preferences) inside the boxes, up to the belly. Then he have to chose which one to leave based on what he see of their sexual organs.
Then the boxes raises until you can see the chest, and he must pick another one to leave.
Then the boxes raises so he can see the heads, and he must pick another one to leave.
Then Then he can hear the voices of the three left and he must pick another one to leave.
With two left, the contestant gets undressed and have to pick which one he wants to date. Then they have a clothed date and we get to hear if they will keep dating or not.
All is uncensored of course, and the camera zooms in on all the vaginas, penises and boobs, of course.

Was a 23 years old virgin that almost fainted when he saw 6 vaginas and had to leave the stage for a while.

I think they do, but there really isn't anything to do about it. You can just make it so that they're seen as the same as male nipples. It would be good, but they're already seen as sexual.

You might be comparing one extreme of Europe to the other extreme of America.

Europe isn't all nude beaches and red light districts, some parts are just as strict about nudity, and most places are just a happy medium. Similarly it's not like you don't get nude beaches, an overly sexualised media or the worlds biggest porn industry in the USA.

It's maybe homogenisation in the media. In Europe one country's advertising and media typically isn't seen much by the others, but in the US most media is accessible across all states so it would naturally tend to be more muted.
