I think there will always be an element of sexuality, which is kind of unavoidable since it's rooted in our basest instincts, and even then I still think you could tap into that and still pull something off without being flagrant or tasteless. And to be honest, I haven't seen all that much nudity in music videos, outside of a Matt & Kim one I saw ages ago. I'm just saying things.
I think you and others are making very good points about context.
