Unfortunately, you are right in your observation. Except for one thing: not all people in the west think about nudity all of the time. However, it has become a huge problem in this country, especially with the PC making it so prevalent. I believe online porn has destroyed more marriages, caused more perversion, child molestation and murder and insecurity and distrust between males and females.
I have great respect for cultures such as yours which are not as liberal in tolerating these kinds of things.
In India, young men are TRAINED to NOT LOOK at another woman. And they take this quite seriously, as it would be a great offence and dishonor to their future wives to have to worry. Some Americans are not aware of certain cultures that practice modesty, honor and respect as concerns dating, engagement and marriage.

It is not true that only western people think about nudity. The fact is that only western people are open about nudity. Asian people normally prefer to keep such skeletons in the cupboard even if they like the concepts. One day they will come out in the open.

Yeah, right! Are you kidding me? Sexuality is fluent in ANY and ALL cultures! I myself am Asian just like you. However, I'm pretty Americanized, but I still at least know who Gackt is. Sooo... are you telling me that (totally based off the fact that you like your Asian culture) you don't find Gackt and Kirito (from Pierrot) hot? I may be stereotyping since a lot of my friends like jrockers (I myself admire how beautiful and androgynous they are, but I PREFER American music), but stereotypes stem from some type of truth, okay? Our culture, I guess, is really traditional, so you're taught to be more prudish just like you're taught to be the best in school, competitive so you can get into a really good college, etc. Asian parents... bleh. But anywayzzz, I hope you come to appreciate just how great nudity, as you refer to it, is! Start with yaoi! There's nothing like two hot gay guys... AHEM.... together... Ya know.. unless you're not old enough to know these things in which case... forget it.

Think about nudity?
There are a multitude of websites concerning this.
.
The Mongols, after establishing the Yuan dynasty in China, encouraged the previously limited practice of foot-binding to spread to all classes of indigenous Chinese women.1 During the preceding (indigenous) Song dynasty, foot-binding was practiced only by women of the court. The Mongols did not let their own women bind their feet but they wanted Chinese women to bind their feet because the foreign conquerors saw it as a way to literally cripple the potential resistance to their regime.
Mutilation?
And your concern is nudity?

It's not true that we only think about nudity. We sometimes think about eating a sandwich.
There is nothing wrong with your culture, it's just different than ours.

It's not true, and no offense is taken, we are all here to learn, and learning about other cultures is just so interesting, it is probably a stereotype, or misconception that you heard from someone, but we are just people, like you and the people of your country, we suffer from the same vices, and experience the same joys(Wer'e just separated by a large body of water ;) ) (From the US By the way)

Its's not just here, Hon. America is actually fairly prude by European standards.
I completely respect your culture.

then you must be a young Asian girl because most people do think about it-a lot.

If we look at a nude body of either sex and admire it's beauty, then it's not wrong. I loath a female with huge breasts and admire the beauty of small breasts and a slim body. Girls, Guys, be proud of your bodies.We cover it to make us look more pleasant but Adam & Eve did not need coverings to make them look pleasant.
