English term or phrase: packaging
At the beach you can see [...]: live, naked flesh. Not only that, it's actually packaged to make it more erotic than most total nudity would be. Let's face it: PACKAGING is generally far more erotic than raw nudity.

empaque


Explanation:
Trato de imaginar la descripción con los ojos de un hombre (y pido disculpas si me equivoco). Para el autor del texto, una chica un precioso y pequeño trozo de tela cubriendo ciertas partes de su cuerpo sea tal vez más tentador y provocativo que si ella estuviera completamente desnuda. En el caso de un hombre, un traje de baño que le quede bien e insinúe lo que cubre debajo debe ser más provocativo que la mera desnudez.

y la frase sería así:
el empaque es generalmente mucho más erótico que el desnudo total
