If you have ever wondered why it feels so freakin‘ good to walk around your house naked, it could be because you’re an exhibitionist. Don’t get us wrong: we recognise that you don’t have to identify this way in order to just fully embrace a braless moment. But feeding off of your SO’s attention while you parade around without any clothes on is definitely trudging towards exhibitionist territory.
If the term ‘exhibitionist’ makes you feel icky, it’s probably because you’ve never heard of it in the sexy context we’re using it. Unfortunately, there’s the other side to exhibitionism that’s the non-consensual mental condition ‘characterised by the compulsion to display one’s genitals in public’ (which is both disturbing and illegal), but that’s not what we’re talking about today.
Today, we’re talking about the sexy, consensual side of exhibitionism that can be used to amplify your sex life, libido, and orgasms. So allow us to explain everything to know about this common fantasy and kink, because, hey, you’re probably already more of an exhibitionist than you think!
WHAT IS EXHIBITIONISM?
For those of you who already love being the centre of attention and thrive off of other people’s attention, it’s possible “being an exhibitionist is already a skill you possess— even if you haven’t brought it directly into a sexual situation,” says US-based sexologist Carol Queen, author of Exhibitionism For The Shy.
