Yes, Bathsheba was modestly taking a bath when she caught David's eye. (2 Samuel 11)
Of course, we do not want to leave scripture out of the discussion.
Some people modestly have a drink and modestly invite some neighbors.
Habakkuk was insightful.
Habakkuk 2:15 “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
Leviticus 18:6-19 (KJV)
6 “‘None of you shall approach any who is near of kin to him to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.
7 The nakedness of thy father or the nakedness of thy mother shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother. Thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover her nakedness: for they are her near kinswomen; it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside the other in her life time.
19 “‘Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Job made a covenant with his eyes. (Job 31:1) Not everyone does.
Jesus came up with a solution.
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Genesis 9, Noah got drunk and lie naked. I did not turn out well for his son Ham for telling others.
If it is all okay, why did Adam and Eve hide from the Lord when they realized they were naked? And why did Noah's sons Shem and Japheth respond as they did Genesis 9:23?
Genesis 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

Yep! It was modest until our eyes were opened. The one act of disobedience by our first parents made them conscious of their nakedness. Now we cloth ourselves with Christ. Or it won't turn out well for us.
