Well he did put emphasis on sex. Social norms regarding pornography, sexuality, prostitution and nudity are still depressingly puritanical in the US.

I think the ripple effects from being raised to believe sexuality and nudity are shameful or obscene are much greater than we appreciate.

They are puritanical yes, but they've hardly become more so in the last 200 years. I think it is merely that the law has become more prevalent across the country.
