Character, maybe. Plot I'm not so sure - like, I'm pretty sure Victor noticed him plenty when he hung off him begging him to be his coach, well before the point they were naked on the pole and chewing on roses. And I... kinda want to argue that in Fujiko Mine, the very style of the animation makes the sex kinda, err, unsexy and not very appealing to the audience (it's been a few years since I saw it, so my memory isn't the best here). In YoI, that clearly isn't the case - there's this staff interview floating around where they about how important it was for them to draw butts. When the very first episode hits the audience with full-on Naked Victor, it's difficult to not see everything that follows as more of the same. Particularly since it seems to have taken more than one clue from Free!'s success formula.

Eh, Free! wasn't the first gratuituous male naked fanservice anime by a wide, wide margin either though.

And by plot I meant that getting Yuri to do the "sexy" choreography, it was a way to build up his confidence/put him out of his comfort zone. And this being possible fro him potentially wouldn't have been as much on Victor's mind if he hadn't had ample opportunity to see that yes, Yuri actually could do sexy very well.

I'm not denying that the show is fanservice free, far from it. And a lot of it is written this way intentionally as fanservice. But some of the fanservicy scene makes sense in the plot.
