Leviticus 18:6-19
Now, uncovered nakedness is sort of the key phrase here. It is a biblical euphemism. Actually, it has not been translated that way in the New King James or the King James, but it is in the original Hebrew, and it means sexual deviance. You should remember that it is also kind of a reference to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, when they recognized their nakedness. So it is described at length in Leviticus 18:6-19, a long section of "thou shalt nots" about uncovering nakedness of yourself and others.
Leviticus 18:11-18
Leviticus 18:11-18 goes on to specifically list many other sins involving uncovering nakedness. A lot of it has to do with uncovering the nakedness of relatives and that type of thing. Here, there can be no argument. According to God's Word, uncovering someone's nakedness for the purpose of unlawful sexual relations is sinful and shameful. Obviously, these are secret or private acts. What about public displays of nakedness?
