Let me start by saying, "Oh My God!" Dalila you are HOT! Sigh... Where is a cloning machine when you need one?

I've seen some videos that feature a naked woman (or two) on a stage...
I believe you are referring to my work there, as I am the only producer I know of who shoots on a stage. My scenes do tend to be 'plotted' to arrange for my ladies to be naked, either that or to get that way quickly. The scenes tend to be at least 'remotely' plausible, where for instance I have a whole series where each actress in turn has been getting ready for a shower when she hears a noise. She goes out to see what the noise was, on hand holding a gun, the other loosely clutching a towel around her. She sees the bad guy and in her startlement, drops the towel. NAKED! She raises her gun to squeeze off a shot, but before she can fire, gets plugged herself. Down she goes for an extensive, very naked and very revealing couple of minutes of death squirms.
Find that scene on CSI or any mainstream production. And there is the rub for me; I do not want to create scenes that you 'could' find on television or movies, because there is no way I could ever create anything anywhere near as good. I cannot compete with mainstream scenes done clothed. The one way I 'can' compete is by doing what mainstream virtually never does, and that's do the scene with a naked lady.
It is part, to be sure, a personal preference to me. I have little interest in watching a clothed death scene honestly. I do not go out of my way to view them and I most certainly would not 'pay' to see such a scene. And there again is the rub; I simply cannot fathom how anyone would pay to see a scene, with inferior production values, when they can get a similar scene for free with superior production values, and get in droves simply by downloading one of Big O's compilations.
Certainly you will get lots of people telling you how they prefer clothed scenes. But will they 'pay' for clothed scenes ('that' is the question), when they can get a couple every night free on prime time TV? (Ok, admittedly on TV they don't linger on the scene, but they do a FAR better job of creating the drama in the scene.) In my experience, if you put the same time, energy and money into two scenes, but one is clothed and the other is nude, you will do FAR better in terms of sales with the nude scene than with the clothed scene.
My advice is to conjure up scenes in which you have a plausible reason to get naked and shoot those scenes. Don't bother with the rest unless someone has commissioned a custom. You'll make more money, by a long shot.
And any producer who doubts this is welcome to test it. Make two scenes, utterly identical in every way except one is clothed and one is nude. Put them both up on PPV on Nicheclips for sale independently and see which sell the most. If you get one sale of the clothed scene for every ten sold of the nude scene, I will be extremely surprised at the popularity of the clothed scene.
It's easy here for people to vote with their mouths for the clothed scene. And maybe they do indeed want the clothed scene. Dollars to donuts though, they'll probably wait to see a pirate version rather than pay for it, as they are used to a plethora of other clothed scenes got for free. The real test is how they vote with their wallets.
