i bet you'll find that even still women are more prone to nudity than men.
I suspect that this depends upon culture. I wonder if the cultures that glorified the male form as the ultimate in human beauty (like ancient Rome and Greece) experienced more male than female nudity?
Currently, female bodies are strongly considered more beautiful than male bodies, and thus women are more conscious of their bodies being observed and evaluated for physical beauty by the entire culture.
...at least, certain, narrowly-defined forms of the female body are considered beautiful.
