There's no nudity, but they display a lot of soft fetishes and sexual remarks. I believe marketing is the main reason, but also because sexual behavior is highly unacceptable in Japanese culture so they have to rely on animations to experience such thing.
According to Flip Guide, a publication centering around Japanese culture, “There is an estimation that 30%-40% of anime and manga have sexual themes and that a lot of it includes underage characters.”
Censoring is because of simulcasts which come from public channels as opposed to paid channels. Some censoring (even on the paid channels) is also because they want you to buy the blu-rays and DVDs. Much in the same way the US censors a lot of sexual imagery, Japan tends to censor violence and (particularly) blood.
Answer by William Flanagan, longtime manga and anime translator: The high-pitched tones of some of the characters are there to serve the story. They are there to emphasize the childlike qualities and innocence (or, in some cases, contrast the innocent sound with evil intent) of the characters.

Under article 175 of the Penal Code of Japan, material containing indecent images are prohibited. However the laws date back to 1907 and were unchanged during the process of updating the Japanese constitution in 1947. Over time and due to changing tastes the acceptable standards have become blurred.
Meanwhile, apparently even free viewers at Funimation have access to the uncensored version. Going there in a browser where I'm not logged in shows the "uncut" version as the only one available, and viewing the final episode there confirms it is still the same uncensored version I remember viewing there before.
Employing a female seiyuu allows the character a high-pitched, youthful, cute sound, and the series can go on for decades without any need to replace the voice (whereas if a young male had been cast, his voice might break and become too low for the character).
