No, I think it's more that much of the suburban US is very prudish.
Look where all the complaints are coming from.  (Though CGW is a US magazine,
so maybe that's not a fair comment.)

I don't even notice a problem.  It's nothing more suggestive than you'd 
see on freely displayed magazine covers at a street-side newsstand
or on the Calvin Klein ads on buses and telephone booths.  People who 
have a problem with CGW ads: do you put blinders on your children when 
you go outside?  Sexuality is the driving force behind much of 
advertising--why single out CGW and crucify them for it?
