So why is nudity and sexuality more taboo to show than brutal violence and arson?
Considering one can show someone being torn in half on tv or video game but a censor bar is throw at the image of a nipple and ratings are raise at the sight of humping.

Only in America, Land of the Free, it is not allowed show nipples.

I forgot to mention that but yeah even then tho

Ironically Europe is just as unreasonable about violence in media as America is unreasonable about sexual stuff

That's a dumb generalization. There is no European legislation on violence in media. Each country allows different degrees of violence, and they tend to be much more lenient on violence than the US is on nudity and sex.
In fact, even the countries with historically lower bars on violence, such as Germany, have drastically reversed that policy and their versions are in almost all cases exactly like in the rest of the world.

Violence doesn't make me fail nofap

Violence encourages seriousness by revealing reality's brutality. Free sexuality deadens an individual's drive.

i wouldn't say sexuality is on television, just nudity for some reason. really what we need is less sexualized television with more nudity

i guess religion plays a bigger part in american culture.The idea of sin and sexual repression is very prominent in Christianity.I mean some of the original settlers where puritans.

seriously though sex on television isn't that uncommon and a sitcom won't even shy away from hinting at fetishes, but god forbid they show a nipple
Don't apply Burgerstan's backwards policies onto entire world

I mean it sorta makes sense
what would you rather have you kid see ?
a bare nipple or some guy getting his head blown off ?

If I want my kids to be patriots then they should toughen up and get used to seeing explosions.

This. In a horror TV show there was a shot of two flayed naked corpses with their skin pulled up like wings. The censors didn't like the fact that there was rear nudity, so the producers covered the corpses' backsides with caked blood so it could be aired.

Genital mutilation as a "remedy" for both male and female masturbation used to be frighteningly common here. With males it still is, and questioning it is taboo.

Because violence carries a huge amount of risk that you would be at the receiving end of it if you lose. Combined with the fact that it is so obviously wrong that a sane person wouldnt imitate it. Some people naturally get grossed out by it.
Sex on the other hand is neither. It attracts everyone without putting anyone off and so is much more effective at influencing its audience to follow the example.
