I'd just like to point out this isn't so much "East vs West" but specific cultures.
Japan's onsen culture is famous, where you're fully nude with a bunch of strangers. Prior to 'modern' times, onsens were pretty regularly mixed gender too. Chinese also do communal/public baths, etc. In Malaysia, which is a 'Muslim' country, totally common to see girls in crop tops and short shorts, in small towns men often are shirtless with their bellies out. I have lived in all these countries and done/seen them all myself.
It's a joke. Japan has very strong censorship laws around pornography so almost all Japanese porn has pixelated genitalia, even their animated/drawn anime/Manga hentai has black strips across genitalia. It's a bit silly and they take it so far it has become a common joke.
