Are you asking the right question? Someone seeing something accidentally is an accident.

Exposing myself, to cause others to lust/be tempted, who are not my spouse, is sin.

The act of seeing someone naked is not sin in and of itself. Is it sin if you see a baby naked while you change its diaper? Is it sin if, as a nurse, you help an incapacitated person from their street clothes into their hospital gown? 

Sin is "missing the mark". If an activity misses the mark of God's perfection, it is sin. Which means that pretty much everything you say and do while in this earthly tent (your human body) is a sin. Not everything, obviously, but "pretty much" everything. That's why Jesus' sacrifice is such a big deal to all of us. Your sins have been forgiven. And just as no amount of trying to be good will save you, no amount of doing the wrong thin will cost you your salvation, though It may make your life more miserable and impact the reward you receive after this life - beyond salvation itself, of course.

1. We live in the age (covenant) of Grace. So the Law of Moses stands to convict and condemn

all who are not believers in Jesus Christ. 

In the Law of Moses you will find that most people do expose what is included in the biblical definition '

of nakedness.

2. I presume you are speaking of stark nakedness... since only stark nudity qualifies as nakedness in the minds of most today. 

The Bible defines uncovered hair, bared calves and thighs as shameful nakedness (Isaiah 47:1-3). And that we are not to even look

upon the nakedness of others (Job 31:1-13 / Leviticus 18:8).

The straight answer is yes. It is sin.

But all sin can be forgiven in Christ.

3. Is this a question about dealing with the embarrassment of an event in your life? Or perhaps a glimpse at porn?

I recall many times in my past where I was embarrassed to the point I thought I was going to die. But we survive.

Read 1 John 1:5 - 1 John 2:17 as a single reading. I would suggest reading it over and over until you get the point

about sin and being a Christian and that we are not to be bogged down with it as under the Law so that we can

spread the Gospel of Christ to a lost world in whatever ministry God has called and equipped us to do.

An interesting side topic on the issue is the war within ourselves.

Admittedly there is a desire of the flesh for exposed flesh (at least in males) which we must combat

by and for the spirit (to which lust does the most harm).

This battle, BTW, is of the Lord who gave us the circumstances (once mankind fell) as a "must needs be"

circumstance of our life on this fallen world (IMHO, to perpetuate the species). Without animal desires the human race would have

destroyed itself a generation into history. IMHO.

This by no means negates the tragedy of lust and the resulting evil.

It affirms the hell of where we live.

This life is the most hell Christians will ever know.

This life is the most heaven unbelievers will ever know.

If anybody sees me without clothes, it will be a life- altering experience,and not a good one.....lol...

If this has happened to you, and it is on your mind then ask for forgiveness from God.  We need to be careful how we dress and to shut our curtains.   God does look at our motive but we should also strive not to be careless.   God bless you!
