In a world like Fallout, prostitution, and sex in general, would become rampant. In the Vault you see a sign that says, "Procreation is your civic duty" (or something to that effect). Mankind has been nearly wiped out and his survival, given the dangers of the world - radiation, monsters, etc - is still in doubt. There is plenty of room to expand and the more kids you have, the more people you have who can defend your homestead. You also have more children who can take care of you in your old age (as used to be the norm in civilization). There are no nursing homes and no Food Banks. If you want to live to an old age, you will need people who like/love you and are willing to share with you once you are no longer able to work. I think that an intelligent Overseer or Vault-Tec manager would see the inherant need for more procreation after the bombs fell and thus most Vault clothing *should* be made to be fairly provocative. Outside of the Vault, clothing would be for protection, but women and men with 'attractive assets' would want to advertize their wares. Semi-transparent clothing, cut away clothing showcasing the genitals, would not be a taboo. It would likely increase your chances to procreate, including increasing your desirability/value as a slave.

 

The actual world of Fallout would have a basis in 1940 America, yes. But it would most likely share many more elements with such civilizations and eras as Ancient Rome, Greece, Babylon and other such societies. Societies where there was plenty of land to be had for the taking, barbarians (raiders) in the woods, 'monsters' roaming the lands and the inability to count on the government to take care of you if you get hurt, fall on hard times, or just grow old.

You certainly have a point. In a decimated world like fallout, there's no room for coddling anyone. With kids in the wasteland running around with machine guns and fending for themselves, they know what's going on. People who help you are a scarce commodity, and family is the closest you can get, so I doubt a parent would waste any time educating their kid when they matured.

 

The old morals have been shattered, and old taboos are now common. Nudity, Sluttiness (which seems to be making a comeback in RL these days), Foul Language, Slavery; it's all back. Prudence and abstinence are things of the past, and if people want to make mods that actually fit into the fallout world conventional taboos will have to be ignored.
