Oh, give me a break! Until the Victorian era, women were widely considered to be the MUCH more carnal gender. Even today, about 1/3 of women have a higher sex drive than the average man. What you are ascribing to nature is a function of learned norms for men in a patriarchy.

Women in this culture don't want to have sex "like men" most of the time because unlike men, they have to worry about their safety (most rapes are date rapes), they have to worry about unwanted pregnancy, a higher susceptibility to STIs, and being considered a slut. They also are pretty sure that most guys who just want to hook up have no interest or ability to actually give them pleasure.

“Meanwhile, a 2017 study shows that among women aged twenty-five to twenty-nine, group sex and threesome experience equaled that of men the same age, and women were nearly twice as likely to have gone to a dungeon, BDSM, swingers’, or sex party, challenging the easy assumption that men are the naturally more sexually adventurous sex.”

As already discussed, I've been to plenty of places where women are topless or nude and men (even American men) have no problem at all controlling themselves and acting like adults.

Stop making excuses for men's learned bad behavior and calling it nature. It's not.
