What is "exhibitionism"?
Exhibitionism is a behavior where a person gets sexual arousal or satisfaction from exposing their genitals to others in public or in situations where it is inappropriate or unwelcome. This can include flashing strangers, giving self-pleasure in public places, or deliberately exposing oneself to others without their consent. Exhibitionism is considered a disorder when it causes distress or problems for the individual or harms others. Treatment typically involves therapy to address the underlying causes and reduce the urge to do such things.
