I know you did not directly state this, but you know that post gives off a vibe very close to "women who do nudity are more stupid." I said they all make the decision with equal intelligence, meaning, they all look at the options, decide what's best for them, and do it.
I still think most people in this thread are putting too much of their strange moral spin on the issue. Some women don't care much about men seeing their breasts... they just don't. The ideas of "oh these poor women are being used and abused and taken advantage of because people can see their boobs" are not shared by the whole planet, or the whole country. So many people in the country are repressed about sex and nudity, and they instantly assume someone who chooses to show their breasts, have a one night stand, do porn, or whatever else must be naive, stupid, or being abused and taken advantage of in some way. That's just not true.
I don't care if a scene is the most gratuitous nude scene ever made, and is clipped and displayed all over the internet. If the actress knew what the scene would be, and chose to do it, I have no problem with it and neither should anyone else. If a man has access to a nude woman's image and chooses to download it and masturbate to it, she chose to let it be available and I have no problem with it, and neither should you.
The only time we need to be worried about these things is when the director abuses a trust. Bijou Phillips supposedly was upset about the between the legs shot in Bully because she was not aware of it. That upsets me. Her riding the guy later in the movie doesn't bother me at all, because she chose to do it, even if it isn't neccessary for the plot or the character.
