@jutky - Why is it any different for a man to be seen naked than a woman in respect to halacha? – Adam Mosheh Jun 10 '12 at 22:09
@AdamMosheh there is no hirurim problem for somebody looking at naked man. – jutky Jun 11 '12 at 11:40

Just to add my own experience: Rabbi Hershel Welcher, president of the Vaad HaRabbonim of Queens, was asked this question in front of his shul and said he didn't see the problem. – Shalom Nov 24 '10 at 3:56
