The public backlash to the Janet Jackson incident likely caused stigmatization rather than desensitization.
If anything, the response to that halftime show probably had a reverse effect to desensitization, where children were taught that the nipple is a horribly shameful thing to see in public or expose. I wouldn't be too surprised if there was far more of an impact in that direction. Of, like, stigmatization.
