is there a word like "nudity-wise"?
I ever saw some words with" -wise".. but I can't remember them..
What's the use of "-wise"?
So may I create some other words by myself ?

There are two meanings for "wise". One refers to "wisdom" (eg. streetwise), but the "-wise" you are asking about means "in the manner/direction of" (clockwise) or "in regards to" (weatherwise).
Yes, you can tack "-wise" on the end of a word, as in the case of "nudity-wise". "I'm very confident about how my body looks, but nudity-wise I get a little embarrassed."
Note some of the words have a hyphen and some do not. If you're creating a new meaning, always use a hyphen so we can recognise both parts.

No, I have never heard of such a word. Although, I would be curious to know what you think nudity-wise means. :-D
