Exhibitionism is a paraphilia dealing with a person who gains sexual gratification from exposing his or her genitalia to others. Some exhibitionists gain gratification from shocking their victims. For others, the gratification comes from fantasizing that their exposure will result in sexual interest in them on behalf of their victims. Very rarely do exhibitionists pursue their sexual overtures beyond exposing themselves, toward more aggressive action.
