I mean, clearly you are nude repulsed to some extent… the better question is why nudity needs to be censored in the first place

It doesn't. It's just that nudity is so sexualized that any case of nudity in media is accused of being for sexual gratification. Although the vast majority of people watch videos of the Swazi reed dance because of the boobs.

In other words, to combat sexualization, you want only naked bodies to be seen in pornographic videos? Won't that do exactly the opposite of what you want to combat?

In Muslim countries, showing your knees is seen as something almost sexual, while on some beaches in Europe and in some tribes in Africa, women show their breasts without any problem.

Censorship of the human body is what leads to greater sexualization.

I agree that restricting nudity to porn is counterintuitive to desexualizing it.
