Exhibitionism and what it means

Exhibitionism is not always seen as erotic or sexy, especially when someone suddenly flashes you in a public space without your consent. Exhibitionism has been around for decades; we all have been exposed to it at least once in our lives.

What is Exhibitionism?

Exhibitionism is the practice of exposing yourself or parts of yourself sexually in public, and the exhibitionist will typically get sexually aroused from exposing themselves in public.  The term exhibitionism also covers sex in public places, and apart from exposing yourself, it also includes exposing someone else. Exhibitionism is illegal in most countries, and you could possibly face jail time, a fine, or both.

There are many different types of exhibitionism:

Streakers enjoy the shock they give their unsuspecting victims; typically, a streaker will strip down naked and run across a public place, often sports events with thousands of onlookers and frequently televised.

Mooning someone has always been seen as something funny that mostly guys do to friends and family as a gag. There might not be any sexual gratification afterward, but it is still a form of exhibitionism.

Now women exposing themselves, whether at mardi gras or wet t-shirt competitions, is always welcomed but is still a form of flashing; again, this is all for the shock and awe factor involved and a way to get a lot of attention from others.

Martymachlia is classified as a paraphilia related to the sexual arousal from being watched while participating in sexual acts, often in public spaces. The arousal comes from knowing that people can see you or are watching you.

There are many ways to use exhibitionism without getting yourself into trouble, like flashing your partner while you are at home and surprising them while they are gaming, cooking, or watching a show. You could even go to BDSM dungeons or sex parties where it is acceptable to perform sexual acts around the guests while they watch you. You can even discuss this with your partner and have them invite friends over so that you can streak or serve them naked.

The most important thing when it comes to exhibitionism is that it needs to be consensual; this is the difference between a kinky night and a night in jail.
