Exhibitionistic Disorder involves recurrent and intense sexual arousal from the exposure of one’s genitals to non-consenting and unsuspecting persons, usually a stranger, and being overwhelmed by such thoughts to the point of dysfunction. This condition is considered a paraphilic disorder, which refers to persistent and intense atypical sexual arousal patterns that are accompanied by clinically significant distress or impairment.
The Subtypes of Exhibitionistic Disorder are determined by the age of the non-consenting witness:
Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a formal diagnosis requires that an individual:
Due to underreporting, the actual prevalence of exhibitionism is unknown, and individuals are likely to only seek help after police involvement. In non-clinical or general populations, it is estimated that 2% to 4% of the male population engages in exhibitionistic acts; there is a lack of reported figures for the female population.
Exhibitionistic Disorder typically develops during adolescence. Individuals with a history of anti-social behaviour, alcohol or other substance misuse, and paedophilic sexual preference may increase the risk of developing Exhibitionistic Disorder. Additionally, childhood abuse and hypersexuality may also have increased likelihood in the onset of Exhibitionistic Disorder.
Certain medications can inhibit sexual hormones such as testosterone or oestrogen, and this can help to reduce sexual desire. Individuals might also be prescribed Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), as SSRIs have been shown to reduce sex drive.
