Oh I love nudity to lead to sexual situations, because for me that's just another way to deepen the connection to someone I like, to show them love and appreciation. It's a chance to give myself to them and show them a side that few get to see.
But, the problem for me is that so many people automatically link the two - so the nudity must equal sex. And once sex enters the equation, then the nudity often becomes just a prelude to it, rather than a separate and enjoyable aspect of sharing and giving.
RE: Flaunting - there's a level. Gently playful and cheeky is wonderful to be around, it's funny and sexy and saucy and cute. But I the people that make it about "Look at what I've got! See here's my bits, you should be interested!" and only care that you're not looking, well that bores me and annoys me. I suppose the difference is, one is using their mind and personality in conjunction with their body, one is just using their body.
And nudity to shock annoys me no end. The reason none of the nudes of myself that have gone up feature full frontal is that I've yet to have a full frontal that worked well enough to be seen. And while sighting my willy is unlikely to shock, to put up a photo or piece of art that clearly features it but has no other merit, is just aiming for a reaction. And I have better things to do with my limited time and energy.
