Case in point. When Goku was a child, he was shown completely nude all the time. When he was an adult, he was never shown nude again in the manga, and the only few nude shots of him in the anime were from the back.

The Japanese don't see it as sexual, right? A nude child to them is just 'cute' or funny. Despite their strange fetishes, Japanese culture as a whole is probably LESS sex-obsessed than America's.
