I think it was the British who started that idea, comparing themselves to neighbouring countries who were much more openminded, at least about nudity and often about sex too. I'm sure it wasn't hard for that meme to take root in those coutries either. The weird thing is that it made it across the Atlantic to a country that is much more uptight still (or perhaps more accurately just a very vocal part of it is), but by the time it got there it was stripped of the context of what comparison needed to be made to find the British prudish.
