(Sigh) It's not just Trekkers, I am very afraid to say.  It seems that a bit
of Americana has shifted over to a more...conservative...outlook on sex.

But sex has it's place.  T'Pol's and Seven's catsuit exposure is just there
to entice people, not to add to the character or drama aspects at all.  TOS
was much better at sexuality - it added to the plot when used ('Elaan of
Troyus', 'Blink of an Eye', 'Gamesters of Triskelion', etc).  So far Seven's
and T'Pol sexual appearance hasn't done much except distract many from the
lack of enticing storytelling.

Also note the sexuality, sensuality and sex are three different things.
Sensuality ends up more  visually enticing than sexuality, and sex can't be
shown on screen.
