Reference for Shabbat 299:10
אימא הכי נמי אמר קרא (בראשית ט, כג) וערות אביהם לא ראו
it is superfluous to state that it is forbidden [in the presence of a naked] Israelite; but as for a heathen, Since it is written of him, whose flesh is the flesh of asses,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ezek. XXIII, 20. [I.e., nudity is common among them]. ');"><sup>18</sup></span> I might say that it is permitted therefore he tells us [otherwise]. Yet perhaps that indeed is so? Scripture saith, and they saw not their father's nakedness.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Gen, IX, 23: This shows that it is indecent in all cases. ');"><sup>19</sup></span>
