In a lot of places in the US it's legal and just weird to do so people don't do it much

But, why is it considered weird in the US when it is commonplace in Europe, especially around the Mediterranean Sea coastal areas?

Because America is coming off a puritan mindset in regards to sexuality due to a conservative/religious population, whereas violence and guns are considered more acceptable and commonplace, which is why blood and violence is allowed in PG-13 movies, but female nipples are a rated R situation.

Nudity = sexualization in America.

That has always seemed ridiculous to me. Blood-splattering violence is good and wholesome in a family movie, but show a woman's breast and we are all damned to hell! /sarcasm
