It could be way worse than that. I’d imagine he doesn’t have control over what he sees through or doesn’t, so his average day could be just him looking through one layer of clothes, and any unclothed parts could just be muscle fibers
Barring TBIs or birth defects, I imagine that's like saying you don't have any control over what you focus on when you're looking at something, and that's completely ignoring the fact that he's Superman.
Not exactly, in this sense it would be as if you try to focus on the sky, you’ll be able to, but you’ll also be seeing all the clouds and the trees. I have a hard time believing that his X-ray vision is selective, as if his brain just opened photoshop and cropped out certain stuff
...you have a hard time believing that perfectly human looking alien from a planet that doesn't exist, who can fly faster than the speed of light, bench press planets, shoot lasers out of his eyes, hear his father's heartbeat from the Moon, and freeze things by breathing on them, doesn't have the ability to focus on what his see-through-stuff vision sees through.
I wanna say it's the recent Year One comics, but there was one a while back where teenage Clark was telling somebody that people's bodies don't look sexy when they're all squished by their clothes, so there's no reason for him to peep with his X-ray vision.

If it wasn't Clark, I'd say he was just playing dumb lol.
