I think it's a religious thing. They believe that the more views they get, the more likely they are to go to heaven. LOL! That's a good one. But seriously, I think it's more like some kind of contest. I know I'm happy when I get many hits, comments or rankings (preferrably "excellent" rankings :)). It's nice to get some recognition for your work. What I've noticed, though, is that many hits does not automatically translate into many comments. So the real challenge for me is to get people to care for my images enough to actually leave comments. Personally, I do not feel that I "use" nudity to that purpose, because nekkid people (mostly women) is what I like to do, anyway. But it certainly doesn't hurt. :)
