Generally speaking, female nudity is more common than male nudity in western culture. Case in point, compare the number of nude paintings of women to the number of nude paintings of men.
Yes, true, but how often to you see a painting of nude women with men wearing magical flesh bikinis?
Also, if you're looking at classical art, you'll find that they actually censored the female genitals instead of the males. Think about it: when was the last time you saw a Venus with a clearly visible slit? And now think about the male nudes: no matter how small the size, their genitals are there, in all pure detail.
It's not a matter of who got the most nudes, it's about how said nudes were portrayed.
Also, for a more modern example of this censorship bias, look at the famous engraving on the
Pioneer.
