"Some would say that pornography implies sex. Others that it is defined by the content’s purpose. Some would contend that considering the mere exposition of the female body outside of any sexual interaction as pornographic is, in itself, objectification and sexualisation."
It definitely varies from culture to culture. In the US a bared nipple on national television was a sensation, in the UK it's par for the course.
In some cultures women regularly go bare chested, in the US being topless on a beach could land you in jail.
In some cultures men wear nothing but a penis-sheath in public, while that would be considered outrageous in many other cultures.
In the US it used to be considered indecent if a woman showed an ankle, and uncivilized not to wear a hat.
In India hugging or kissing in public might get you assaulted[1], while it's no big deal in many other countries.
There are taboos in every culture, but what is taboo varies from one culture to another.
