Why is violence such an accepted part of TV and movies, but not sex?

Because the US stems from extremely Puritan roots. The first colonists were puritans, and many of their ideas and taboos are still in effect. 'Blue Laws' (the ones that say things like you can't buy booze on Sundays) are still in effect in many states, and descend directly from Puritan laws. Puritans were absolutely terrified by sexuality because of their Christian roots, but had no problem with violence. 

Any culture with strong roots in the Christian Bible would tend in the same direction. The Bible has all kinds of rules about sex, mostly aimed at subjugation - direct and indirect - of women, but it one of the bloodiest and most violent documents ever constructed.
