Because we've somehow as a culture made the decision that violence is to be glorified, but sex and bodies are still shameful — except, apparently, when we use them to sell things, and even then we can only be suggestive, not explicit.

That reminds me of something that happened at the movie theater when I went to see Hunger Games. There was a couple with a small child maybe 5 years old. They asked what Hunger Games was about and the employee said it was about a bunch of teenagers brutally killing each other for sport. The father, without flinching, said "as long as there's no sex we'll take 2 adults and one child ticket!"
