Culturally speaking, Japanese are not afraid of nudity at all. You can see it at how unbothered Japanese are not only by being naked but also interacting naked at onsens and sentos.
While in some western countries that might have a bit of a "sportsmen locker room culture" thing to it, that's definitely not the case here. Japanese are used to going to public baths and showering together since a very young age. Historically speaking, mixed-gender public baths were the staple and gender-dividing only became a thing after contact with western cultures.
I mean, Shirai Kenzo was changing fully naked during competition at the middle of the Olympics, lol. Literally couldn't care less.

Japanese current porn censoring laws were implemented during American occupation in 1947. As a visit to the
amazing vintage thread and
@cambriadude 's posts which are a history lesson themselves will quickly teach you, equivalent obscenity laws were being enforced in the US too by then, so not surprising.
Before the west, Japanese censorship was more interested in censoring Christianity and the traditional political stuff. Traditional pornographic Ukiyo-e? Oh please, why would we care?

However, one thing Japanese are
very good at, is keeping the status quo, not changing laws and pretending controversial topics don't exist until something actually explodes and we can't ignore it any more.
So here we are. Soon to be 80 years later and still censoring porn, while prostitution is pretty much legal except for the "selling-vaginal-sex" loophole thing we choose to ignore, porn movie industry is the most active in Asia, sex toys have a dedicated corner at every Don Quijote (one of the biggest retailers of the country), Japanese sex industry is widely famous for its
diversity...
But gotta cover those dicks and pussies, you know? Too shocking.
I know nothing about China and Korea, but Japanese blowjob bars operating at daylight at Tokyo are nothing but uptight.
While I do think Japanese have a very big concern for their "public persona" and would avoid at all costs doing "arguable" things if they are aware people might know about it, in the private sphere I would say they are a lot more chill than in the West, in the sense that the Japanese average guy won't think that feeling anal pleasure will automatically make them gay and stuff like that.
As long as they are convinced gay porn is a ghetto thing and their videos/pictures won't come out to people they know, Japanese men will be rather receptive to doing it if paid well enough.
