How does this relate to various tribes native to hotter parts of the planet, that like to walk bare-ass all the time? How much of is it biological, and how much is it cultural?

There's an underlying premise here that "cultural doesn't really matter" or that we should just do what's a biological necessity.
As humans, we do most things because of cultural reasons, or in other words, because we collectively came up with some rules/trends/fashions/etc. We're not mice or ants to just do stuff because of biological imperatives.
If you only count "saves us from low temperatures" as important and not "enabling me not to see most people's genitals unless we're in a romantic relationship".
Why would I want to see, say, anybody's testicles or someone's half-wiped ass while I work? Even tits, which I'd normally like would be more of a distraction (and no, it's not due to not being de-sensitized to them: you can never be de-sensitized to tits).
