I have to disagree with the use of the word “embarrassing.” There is nothing embarrassing in the Bible.
Some passages are more significant than others. Some passages are more in need of interpretation. Some of the Hebrew laws, such as dietary laws, are no longer applicable to Christians (as discussed by the Apostles in the Book of Acts), but still are of interest.
But I can’t think of any embarrassing passages. Yes, passages that need to be explained and understood—but not innately embarrassing.
Song of Solomon chapter 8
8 Our sister is little and she has no breasts as yet. What shall we do for our sister when her courtship begins?
9 If she is a wall, we will build upon it a silver parapet; If she is a door, we will reinforce it with a cedar plank.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So now in his eyes I have become one to be welcomed.
That is just three verses. I could see parents too embarresed to read it to children. Seriously how often do people even read the Song of Solomon. They (men) love the wives submit to your husbands verse but this whole book I think is hardly ever read.

May I suggest the passages are in need of understanding? Yes some of the Old Testament needs to be framed in a modern context.
But The New Testament? Jesus’ words and the (admittedly much later) words of His Disciples are clear in all languages.
How sad it is that the Son of God gave us such clear directives and it has taken thousands of years and millions (billions?) of people to work to the end of “getting it.”
