Is exhibitionism normal?

Question

I really enjoy being an exhibitionist. Is it normal to get a thrill out of showing off your bits either via a webcam or open livingroom window?

Answer 1

if this practice brings you contentment, go for it. people are always quick to make negative judgments. americans still need to develop a sense of tolerance for indidivual differences among people.
you could say i'm an exhibitionist, also. my wife and i own a camp on a nudist resort. we spend our weekends and vacation days there between late april and mid october. i love naked. it puts everyone on the same level; everyone is equal.
i have found that naked people are more firendly, more relaxed, and more tolerant. it's not about sex, it's about practicing the desire to be in surroundings where clothing is not the norm.
it's a liberating experience.

Answer 2

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.

Please stick to your webcam and adult sites. Forget about the open window. Children and innocent people don't really want to be exposed to your sexual desires.

Answer 3

Who defines normal? And why does it matter?

If you are asking whether most people get a thrill from doing that, then I would say probably not. If you are asking whether I think it's weird and creepy, then no but that's a personal opinion. I can understand why it would be exciting.

But -- and this is really important, I think -- you need to be careful about including unsuspecting people when you play. To show off your bits on a webcam that can be accessed only by those who choose to is one thing. To expose yourself in public to people who have not given permission is inappropriate and illegal.

Answer 4

Of course it is normal. Some of these answers are so typically American. What if someone sees her breasts in her window? Big deal! In most shopping malls where I am from women will pull out a boob and breast feed right in the food court. There is nothing vulgar or indecent about a breast. Some people really need to grow up.

Answer 5

Why yes this is perfectly normal. I walk around naked all the time. In fact just the other day I was laying out in the road licking my balls.... of course I am a dog. I also like to have sex in people's front yards.

Answer 6

normal is anthing of no pressure , if you feel a sensation pressure do it if it the only way to find relief and comfort. people have different forms of release. people have different physical or mental needs. JUST SATISFY YOUR OWN. ITS YOUR RIGHT. just don't forget the social norms of laws. but you can also be creative without breaking it.

Answer 7

It's normal for you I guess. For people who have any status I don't think they would want to do it because when people find out, their status will go out the window.

Answer 8

I would say in need of lots of (attention) is the word your looking for.
