Being ashamed of one's body began with the teachings of Christianity and the colonial school system, life styles, introduction of sex through media, Hollywood and such.
It was ok for women to walk around the village half-naked without arousing men because men's conscience on sexuality was not yet corrupted. There was no shame in publicly viewing body parts. This can also be seen in ancient Kemet where Isis, Akhenaten can be seen half-naked.
And in Melanesia, Ancient Zulu and several forested kingdoms in Africa both young and old females were half naked in early 1900s and in pre-colonial era until we been dumped with rubbish from the outside world, we now have a chaos society.
