'''Exhibitionism''' is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context one's [[intimate part]]s – for example, the [[breast]]s, [[Sex organ|genitals]] or [[buttocks]]. As used in psychology and psychiatry, it is substantially different. It refers to an uncontrollable urge to exhibit one’s genitals to an unsuspecting stranger, and is called an "Exhibitionistic Disorder" rather than simply exhibitionism.<ref name="DSM-5">{{cite book |title=Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition |title-link=DSM-5 |publisher=American Psychiatric Publishing |year=2013 |isbn=978-0-89042-554-1 |editor=American Psychiatric Association |pages=689–691 |chapter=Exhibitionistic Disorder, 302.4 (F65.2) |doi=10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596 |oclc=830807378}}</ref> It is an obsessive compulsive paraphilic disorder, which typically involves men exposing themselves to women.
