Exhibitionism

/ˌɛksɪˈbɪʃənɪzəm/noun
ELI5 mode

Exhibitionism is the psychological or behavioral tendency to expose one's genitals to unsuspecting strangers for sexual gratification, often driven by a compulsion for attention or thrill. In modern contexts, it extends to broader forms of attention-seeking behavior in social media or public spaces, raising ethical questions about consent and societal norms. This term is frequently explored in mental health discussions to differentiate between harmless self-expression and clinically significant disorders.
