Can I throw an additional controversial opinion in here?
Naturism (also known as nudism but there are some differences) can be a cure for both the men and women who are in this circumstance, and indeed can be a cure for many of these related problems.
You might think I'm crazy, but hear me out. If people are comfortable and confident in their own skin to the point of being completely nude around other completely nude people of all ages, sexes, races, physical handicaps, physical appearances, etc. they are going to have some pretty good self-confidence that can't be taken away from them. They'll also not be too likely to be going and seeking attention through using their bodies because they'll know that naturism is not about being sexy, in fact it is just as non-sexy as going to the supermarket, or work, or church.
Naturism teaches self-respect, respect for others, and respect for our environment. It has been used by many people to overcome problems with pornography, as well as self-loathing due to body dismorphia.
Many religious people have found it to enhance their faith, and if one studies the core beliefs, naturism doesn't conflict with any at all.
The need to be clothed at all times is just a societal construct that when overcome will free us of many issues like the one which you have brought up.
Some good starting places for more research are

naturistsociety.com The Naturist Society
mychainsaregone.org A great website about being free from a pornographic mindset.
