All sounds very recognisable.
I was born mid 70-ties and I must admit, the 80-ties were much more erotic and sensual than the current days.
Reasons:
- Nudity and sex was less available. No internet, no 24/7 availability
But that also means that people needed less visible skin and more implicit nudity to get turned on or to seduce one another.

- How fun it was to get hold of a Playboy or other erotic magazine and watch all the pics with some buddies.
Some might even remember a circle jerk.

- While living in Europe, when going on holiday, the beach was a real treat. Topless and nude people were plenty around. So while being deprived of nudity (besides some siblings) throughout the year, people seemed to be all in (or out) while on holiday. I've seen family and friends (both parents and children) go topless and even naked on the beach and dunes who the rest of the year acted and dressed like total prudes.
But then again, we got to see the real thing ... up close ... in all sizes and shapes ... and sometimes even had a cup a feel ... while lots nowadays get no further than looking at a screen.


Back to the present. My wife and I always raised or kids pretty open.
Nudity was/is no taboo. We frequent nude beaches and sauna centers on occasion.
Also her sister and her family raised their kids that way.
Meaning that we all have seen each other naked, they have seen their cousin and niece, uncle and aunt naked on many occasions and vice versa. My wife's nephew even had an "accidental" cup-a-feel once while on a waterslide during a nude swim.

Conclusion of it all : it's not the availability of nudity that is important, it's the way were raised with it. Open versus taboo and secrecy. Nice example: when my wife wears a bikini on a beach, people (guys) keep on staring, hoping to see an inch more skin or a nipple slip. When she goes topless or naked, people have 1 (long) look and then move on. My guess is that the (small) bikini look is much more erotic than the topless/nude look.
