There's a big difference between topless online and topless on a beach. Online there is stronger element of exhibition/voyeurism. The beach is just a bit more natural (for lack of a better word).
The beaches in France can be rife with topless women (of various shapes and sizes). The first time I was at the beach it was titillating (ha!) but it quickly grew to be the norm. Sure, if I see a particularly attractive woman it might be arousing, but I would suggest I'd have the same reaction if she was in a bikini. Ultimately, this is about the inherent prudishness of the culture in which most of us have been raised. Nudity carries certain taboos. Combine this with the objectification of women in general (or specific if you want) and you end up with guys that can't deal with a topless woman without getting a aroused (or worse).
