All right, I suppose when talking nudity, there are at least three scenes in the Witcher 2 and one in the original that you might see without a warning. You might also not see them at all - it's just the storyline path in which you might get to see them is completely unrelated. On the other hand, I would say that only one of all of those is just meaningless pandering, the rest do serve a purpose in the game's storytelling.
As for the sex, while it's avoidable, I'm unsure as to how clearly are Geralt's responces written so you may avoid them. I do know you can tho.
To the topic at hand tho - personally, I am glad the nakedness is in the game, as it does serve a purpose. It has a place and there is a point to from storytelling perspective and character development. I do know you've made a remark that you dislike the way 'adult' RPGs attempt to present nakedness as a part of 'adult' storytelling, making it sound as if it were there just to feel mature. I don't think that's the case tho - for the most part, it's there because it fits. With the character, with the scene at hand or with events which are currently occuring. All in all, it does feel like a shame to miss a game for superficial reasoning such as "We can see skin!", but ultimately, it is your decision to make.
Just as with everything in the Witcher games, locking out one branch of content opens up another. However, I do not believe you may pursue a relationship in the game without a sex scene. Well one will be pursued for you anyhow, just... Not as openly.
They were made as a direct responce to your post :-P But I suppose you must have just managed to miss them.
