Exhibitionism
In this sexual deviance, the subject becomes excited and remonstrates by exposing his genitals in front of the desired object . Since the exhibitionist is male, the exposed genital is usually the genital organ. It is understandable, because even in animals the penis has considerable signaling importance. In typical cases, the exhibitionist annoys adult women with his nudity and does not try to get close to the object in his actions.
Exhibitionism is one of the most widespread sexual deviations . At least once in their lives, most women encounter genital exposure. This experience is most common in women under the age of 25. It is therefore obvious that the expositors choose their "victims" according to age, among other things.
Similar to fetishism , we believe that exhibitionism results in some form of learning on the available terrain. The motivation of exhibitionists is undoubtedly related to deficiencies in sex life in general. These men are often single and if they have a partner relationship, then the frequency of intercourse tends to be lower than their need. As if their sexuality was not spontaneous enough. Wives of exhibitionists often complain about their men's lower interest in partner sex.
A typical exhibitionist does not have tendencies aggressive and does not attack children's objects . The motivation for genital exposure in some psychotics , demented individuals and the like is completely non-sexual. In mentally defective individuals, atypical genital exposures sometimes occur as a manifestation of sexual clumsiness in approaching the object.
Exhibitionists are a grateful object of psychotherapy , sometimes even group therapy. The compulsion of their deviant drive makes them the most repetitive sexual deviant. Therefore, for those who are active and repeatedly fail, treatment with medications to suppress sexual activity is completely appropriate.
