Explain this to me

I've noticed Jamie Chung is one of these young actresses who won't do nude scenes even when playing a prostitute (which she has done more than once). But she got her start on "The Real World" (oh, the horror, the horror). She also played Rob Schneider's daughter and appeared in more than one Adam Sandler movie. And her role in this (spoiler) revolves entirely around the aftermath of her sticking her finger up a guy's ass (end of spoiler). Exactly what dignity has she maintained by not doing nudity? Emily Mead, on the other hand, has a nude scene in just about everything I've seen her in, but she actually maintains more dignity than any other female member of the cast here.

I'm not saying actors SHOULD always maintain their dignity (that's no fun), but I just don't understand the problem a lot of actresses have with nudity when they have no problem being a piece of ass in an Adam Sandler movie or appearing in a very warped role like this.

Like Jessica Alba, who won't do a nude scene, but has played a stripper and a prostitute, and allowed the "digital nudity" thing in Machete 2.

There are plenty of actresses who won't do nude scenes, but in general you don't know who they are because they specifically choose roles to *avoid* them and they just don't bring it up.

But actresses like Jennifer Aniston, Melissa Rauch, Jessica Alba, and a few others seem to revel in essentially being teases. Yes, it's their body and their choice, but I'm allowed to criticize how they manage the public side of their career.
