The genre obviously makes a huge difference. Some actresses are obviously very selective about the roles they take. And very often, their careers are limited by doing so, because so many roles for the 20-somethings are romantic dramas and romcoms, often with producers and directors with “sex sells” on their minds.

I personally think it's time for Hollywood to retire the gratuitous sex/nude scenes. And not because I'm a prude, but because they're distracting and ruin the flow/pace of the story. And 99.9% of them are entirely unnecessary.

They're a throwback to the era before we became completely saturated in unlimited free porn. Back in the 80s, an 'R'-rated film might be the only place you could see boobs short of men's magazines or the back room of the video store.

Today, if you want to see people having sex or look at hot naked women, it's a mouse click away. I don't need to see boobs on HBO when I'm trying to enjoy the story they're telling.
