> It takes a man to do the sexualization, so the sexualization isn't the boob

I think you’re trying to rewrite the books that mention erogenous zones. Go read them instead. Boobs are sexual.

Having said that, sexuality is not the problem; prudeness is. A vagina could be sexual and still be fine to be uncovered, as it is/was in some cultures.

Lips are also an erogenous zone.

Neither sexuality or prudeness should be the problem, rather the aggression.

Display of genitals is seen as a gesture of aggression or dominance, not just in Humans. That's what distinguishes nude breasts from nude genitalia. And it's a rather more pronounced problem with male genitalia, we're not equal in that regard.

Some cultures do allow them being uncovered, but I think experts could still tell us that there are some rules to all of that. And these cultures are rather small and rare.
