Apples and oranges, dear. Not to be vulgar, but how often, do you think, were men in the public squares masturbating in front of these statues?

No, there have been plenty of nudes in art throughout history. Well, yeah. But, with rare exception, the point of the nude art was the glorification of the human form. It was created by gifted artists to uplift the spirit and inspire.
Tittilation was almost always an unintended consequence of the piece.
The purpose of nudes in porn is to tittilate and appeal to the pruient interest, inspiring masturbation.
Art and porn really don't have much in common. Well, except pretty naked ladies. :)
