(And the US has the largest porn industry in the world which suggests they are not that sensitive.)
You'd think. <g> But, of course, logic often fails to apply in this kind of case and some segments of American society can be very sensitive to such content and issues. (Some segments of society all over the world can be sensitive to these issues. I think it's also a mistake to assume that non-Americans are 100% more liberal in that regard.)
Witness the howling outrage over the 'bared breast' at the Superbowl incident a little bit back.
Actually, there was a thread on that and some of the posters had interesting things to say about that one. It's worth looking up.
And, of course, when you're talking about a country of individuals, there's never going to be a 100% concenus on what you get sensitive about. There will be some who will get equally outraged over the Superbowl incident and the porn industry. Some who'll despise the porn industry, but not see anything really outrageous about the accidental uncovering of a breast for a few seconds on TV. Some who'll find neither offensive. And all shades of opinion inbetween.
So you can't really infer that one impacts on the other or that there's any real connection between the two, I don't think.
ETA: Here's the link for that Superbowl thread, for anyone interested:
