Answer 1

Nudity and sex are recreational pursuits. They tend to make people more relaxed, and less nervous and worried. Violence and gore do the opposite – they are threatening, and make people feel either aggressive or frightened. Relaxation tends to threaten religion. People turn to “god” and authoritarian government when they feel threatened or aggressive. So, nudity and sex are taboo, while violence and gore are welcomed, because these policies support religion and authority, and not surprisingly, religion and authority like that a great deal.
