Unfortunately religion has managed to incorporate a dislike of sex & the naked human body into these memeplexes, along with a series of 'appropriate' responses, meaning that it's very difficult to shed.
Also, we wouldn't have had the Carry On films if it hadn't have been for 'British' sexual repression so that's another reason to fight it.
