exhibitionism [ek″sĭ-bish´un-izm] a paraphilia characterized by repeated acts of exposing the genitals to an unsuspecting stranger to achieve sexual excitement, with no attempt at further sexual activity with the stranger. It occurs almost exclusively in males, and in adults it is difficult to correct. It may be resorted to by an individual who is unable for physical or psychologic reasons to gain sexual gratification by normal means. A common cause is a feeling of sexual inadequacy; for this the exposure is a compensation. Exhibitionism may also be a form of masochism in which a feeling of guilt drives the person to behavior for which he knows he will be punished. Psychotherapy is necessary to deal with this type of sexual deviation.ex·hi·bi·tion·ism (ek'si-bish'ŭn-izm), A morbid compulsion to expose a part of the body, especially the genitals, with the intent of provoking sexual interest in the viewer.exhibitionism (ĕk′sə-bĭsh′ə-nĭz′əm)n.1.
