Ok, this is hard for me to ask, but I need an explanation as to why I act a certain way. So please be as honest as you wish.
I have the constant need to show my penis in public; I dont act on it, but want to show it to every woman I see. I have been known to getting dresses in front of windows or masturbating with my shades open, so a woman might catch me. Any ideas as to why I might be doing this?

You are an exhibitionist. If you truly want to change, you need therapy. Good luck...I hope you seek help before you act on your urges. There are laws against doing what you feel the need to do, you know. If you don't seek help, you could find yourself in trouble with the law at some point.

Exhibisionism is one of the sexual paraphilias. Keep yourself under control.
You might get off or feel validated by gaining the attention of others. If that's the case, go to a nightclub and become a male stripper. There are always strippers at gay clubs, too. Try it once to see if you feel flattered by anyone's attention, or just female attention.
Nothing wrong with this paraphilia, so long as you save it for the appropriate time and place. You could make some $$ is you do it on a webcam and charge people to watch.

This could be a disorder of some kind but i don't know what i suggest that you speak to a therapist about it before it becomes something you can no longer control and you end up in jail or worse, i hope you can find the help you need its out there, try calling your local mental health clinic you should be able to pay on a sliding scale, Good luck!

I pulled the following off Wikipedia. There is also a web site at the bottom of the following for your reference as well:
"Exhibitionism (also known as Lady Godiva syndrome and Apodysophilia) [1] is the psychological need and pattern of behavior to exhibit naked parts of the body to other people It is a fetish and some exhibitionists wish to display themselves sexually to other people singly or in groups.
In psychiatry, exhibitionism is considered a paraphilia if the practice begins to interfere with the quality of life or the normal functioning capacity of the individual. Often exhibitionism does not have legal implications, unless the individual shows an aggressive or criminal behavior, as in indecent exposure. Likewise, exhibitionism does not necessarily imply alterations of the psychiatric condition of the average, everyday individual, although according to DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, IV edition), where all psychiatric illnesses are represented as numerals to avoid confusion, exhibitionism is classified as 302.4. Many psychiatric definitions of exhibitionism broadly define it as "sexual gratification, above and beyond the sexual act itself, that is achieved by risky public sexual activity and/or bodily exposure." It can include "engaging in sex where one may possibly be seen in the act, or caught in the act."[citation needed
Reasons for the various types of exhibitionism are varied. The person can act on the basis of competing to be the "first" in a trend, on the basis of adhering to a particular fashion, ostentation, posing, being bombastic, and many other instances. These forms can appear isolated or also as a group of manifestations."

If the fetish keeps you from everyday life, I would consider consulting a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

It is a compulsion. Be glad that you don't have to act on it. An antidepressant or even the new medicine for ADD, Strattera, might help. They both regulate brain chemistry. It wouldn't hurt to try, especially if it is causing stress.

I do not know . But seriously go ask a trusted prof. even if in another town. Because my daughter's father showed his penis to her. She is nine years old !! And it has wrecked her little life. I'm certain you would not want to do the same to a child. So, please get some help..

You're probably an exhibitionist. Don't know why, just some people are. Be careful doing something like that in public or you'll be doing it in the jailhouse.

you're lonely. Act out your fantasy in a brothel until you get tired of it. Maybe if you joined a nudist colony you would realise there's nothing special about you dongr. Imagine there were no rules about wearing clothing in our societies. Your problem would look pretty ordinary then.
