Exhibitionism involves exposing one's genitals or sexual organs to a stranger. It is a sexual disorder. While often joked about, in reality, exhibitionism is a very serious behavior that can be frightening to the victim.
Exhibitionism involves nonconsenting persons. Sometimes the exhibitionist masturbates while exposing himself or herself, but makes no further attempt at sexual activity with the stranger. An exhibitionist is not seeking physical contact and will not commit rape, although some rapists may show signs of exhibitionism as well. An exhibitionist is sexually aroused by the shock or surprise of the victim.
The key features of true exhibitionism are:
there is sexual arousal directly related to the shock
the victim is unwilling and
no further sexual contact is desired
The vast majority are male. Female exhibitionists may seek employment where the condition can be exploited, such as topless dancing, although most people in such jobs are not exhibitionists. Although this condition appears to be a life-long problem if not treated, the condition often becomes less severe by age 40.
Many mild forms of exhibitionism are considered normal in our culture. Children often have a natural curiosity about their genitals and the genitals of others. Young children may like to try to shock adults or other children by showing their genitals or underwear. This is typically a passing phase and only calls for professional treatment if it persists.
Most exhibitionists do not receive treatment until they are caught by the police and the court orders treatment. If you or someone you care about is an exhibitionist, early treatment is strongly advised. Discuss the matter of confidentiality with your mental health professional.

Exhibitionism is an ego thing where some people like to show off. Generally, it's showing their naked bodies to others to see what happens. It can be showing off anything, though. It's just an ego trip, nothing more.
'nuff said?

A exhibitionist can experience a climax several times more intense than a typical orgasm when a stranger shows interest in watching or attempting to get better view

Exhibitionism is where I wait for a chance and then let my sex show.

It is showing off your body, nude and in sexual positions for the sheer pleasure and excitement that someone is watching you.
