What is an Exhibitionist?

  I count myself as an exhibitionist though I won't force my nudity on those who would be offended. It gives me a buzz being seen naked by anyone who wants to see. That may well be in a nudist location. The important thing is that I can be naked amongst others, even if they are fully clothed. But I also push the boundary a bit and get naked where I shouldn't. Today I stripped off in Harrogate, drove naked through the town centre and to and through my home "city" of Ripon. There I took a detour to drive through the entire city.
  To me an exhibitionist is someone who gets the greatest pleasure from beingseennaked.

  NudeJim describes me very well.  Ollygrumps begins to describe me, but I don't push the boundary by driving nude through the city.  In my opinion your cock doesn't necessarily need to be erect.  I suspect that some exhibitionists sexually stimulate themselves to get erect.

  I've gotten a "rush" or "buzz" at Orient Beach.  Yes, it is a nudist beach and there are many naked people there, but most every day there are taxis and mini-buses full of tourists from the cruise ships that stop there for the "view".  And who am I not to give them a show?  I think it's an exhibitionist's dream spot.  Nudity is expected there and the tourists come to be titillated by the nudists.  I always grab a lounge chair on the nude side of the beach near the taxi drop-off area - I'm probably the first naked sunbather they see.  I'll often stretch in the lounge chair and get up to leisurely apply sun tan lotion all over my naked body.  However, I am mindful not to cross the line and appear to be openly masturbating.   Then either walk down the beach or into the water.  Drying off with a small towel can also be a great show to put on as well.

  [quote]I don't see how you can get a 'rush' or 'buzz' out of being naked in an appropriate area for nudity, exhibitionism is about being naked where it isn't considered appropriate. I mean, it hardly exhibitionism is you're naked in front of 100 other naked people.[/quote] I'll give an example. A place I usually go has sandy nude beaches set in coves backed by high cliffs. I like rock climbing and here I can do it naked. So I'm naked half way up this cliff. A bunch of 15 or so clothed yoga fanatics come round the corner looking for a place to hold their class. But before they settle down they all stand and watch me. They watch every move of this crazy old naked climber as I go up and then as I come back down. Once I'm down they settle into their class and invite me to join them (still naked). See the photos in my profile.
  
  To me an exhibitionist is one who exhibits. An artist exhibits his work in a gallery and a clothes designer does it on the cat-walk. A nudist exhibits their naked body to anyone who wants to watch, whether they are fellow nudists or textiles. And it's equally valid in a nudist location - unless you apply the textiles' usual misconception that exhibitionism (and nudity) is sexual.

  Im with nudist-tom here about the bedroom thing with the woman opposite.     I would be doing the same thing in his position although Id be semi-hard. Having a similar situation with my garden I have the next door woman some times looking down at me from her bedroom when Im nude and I love it. She is behind a curtain but I have seen it moving.

  [quote]So these 15 yoga fanatics come to a nude beach to do their yoga, so they will expect people to be nude it being a nudist beach, you're already on the nudist beach using it as it names suggests, so therefore you are not an exhibitionist because you are nude on a nudist beach.
  You might as well call all nudist exhibitionists if you're going to say you're one for exhibiting your body on a nudist beach.
  [/quote] Not so Tom. The official Portugalnaturista.com web site lists 60 naturist beaches in Portugal of which only 7 are official. The majority are listed as "beaches where being nude is usual" including this one. All that means is that we won't get arrested for being naked there. There is no sign warning anyone that there may be nudity and there were only 6 of us nudists on the beach amongst well over 100 textiles. As most nudists do we kept to the fare end of the beach. And the yoga class chose to come to that part of the beach. I did exactly the same thing on the same beach in February. The only other couple on the beach left in disgust. I don't take pleasure in upsetting people so I didn't refer to that occasion.
  
  For the definition of Exhibitionist I have two choices: (1) the group defines itself as"For guys who like their naked bodies to be seen by other men"and (2) from the Oxford English Dictionary and Thesaurus"Exhibitionism - 1, a tendency towards display or extravagant behaviour"and 2,Psychological a mental condition characterised by the compulsion to display one's genitals indecently in public.In saying it only counts if you are displaying to non-nudists picks up on the last, Psychological definition. Ok you have a right to that opinion. But I have a right to mine, preferring the group definition or the dictionary's primary definition - a tendency towards a display.
  
  There are 55,045 members of TrueSwingers but only 13,850 (25%) have any photos in their profiles. So, I guess, the other 75% are not exhibitionists. Then some of the 25% have photos set to friends only, with just a select few able to see them. Add to these those with closed profiles guarded by a no-entry sign and suggestions you go elsewhere. It looks like these don'tlike their naked bodies to be seen by other men, even nudist men, or women. My thesis is that someone who enjoys others seeing him or her naked is an exhibitionist, even if the viewers are other nudists. Why do we need to throw the  indecency element into exhibitionism? Of course you can have a different opinion. If there were not different opinions it would not have been worth asking the question in the first place.
  
  Anyhow what counts is that Ienjoyedthem watching me.

  I get a thrill being seen naked in nudist places. I don't expose myself in places where I could be arrested for it because I like my freedom. One of the biggest turn-ons prior to sexual encounters is being seen naked. I get excited in the men's room if I see another man looking at my penis. There have been times I have gotten instantly hard when I look over and see someone staring at my dick. I am an exhibitionist because I enjoy exhibiting my junk. But I would never do something which could lead to me being arrested.

  I like being seen naked by others. It doesn't have to be sexual for me or for them. Maybe it's just taking nudity to another level - enjoying been seen naked

  I tried to draw attention to a slightly different term EXHIBIONIST... Did you heard it?As much as I know it means people who feels comfortable being naked, no matter where, alone or with a bunch of other people... Just because of his own nudity... I shall be glad to hear your thoughts on this:)

  A person who loves to be nude is not necessarily an exhibitionist.

  [quote]I experience a thrill when being watched. Being a nudist I compromise myself from time to time by forgetting I am nude though it's not thrilling. A neighbor lady likes to disrobe and watch her reflection in her window. One eve I was alone and began watching her when I thought. Why not do what she was doing. I opened the shades of the room and walked in and out of the room while turning the light on and off. I thought she'd close her curtains or turn the light off. To my surprise she lingered in front of the window all the more. I was enjoying the feeling of walking into the room while she watched me. In time I remained in the window and watched her. She acted startled though I thought it an act as she stayed in her window and showed quite a bit of herself. Our hands wandered a bit and it was quite erotic. After an hour she turned the light off. Looking forward to warmer weather so to get outside. Maybe we can chat nude at our backyard fence one eve.[/quote]You were exceptionally lucky to have that experience with your neighbor.

  [quote]I was hesitant to join this group because I really don't think of myself as an exhibitionist.  Yes I do enjoy being nude with others and walking on a nude beach.  I enjoy looking at other naked bodies and I don't mind being seen nude.  For me an Exhibitionist really gets off being seen nude.  They are the ones who force their nudity on other people often not really interested in seeing you naked.  They are the ones who used to streak.  That is quite different from what I like to do.  I do enjoy having people see me naked, but it is not really a turn on.  I am only naked where is is appropriate to be naked and people expect to see nudity such as the nude beach or resort.  I never hide behind a towel in a common locker room.  I would have no problem joining in a nude pool or hot tub party.
  How do you see exhibitionists? Do posted exhibitionist pictures need to be erect?  Most are.
  [/quote] OK, first, I admit that I did not read all of the other posts to see if this has already been said.  I did read some.  I consider myself an exhibitionist as well.  For me, the primary difference between my form of exhibitionism and nudism is that I get the sexual rush from the exhibitionism.  I do not, nor do I have any interest in showing anything in any form to unsuspecting women or children.  No.  But, like the nude beach, the gym, or other places like that, I do like to be there and be "plump" shall we say.  Not a full hard-on, but in that "horse-hung" stage.  Where my dick is still soft but "flopping around" at about 5" or 6".   I do like to see which guys look twice.  It's not stick out by any "stretch" (couldn't resist, sorry), but just not my typical little wienie.
  For full sexual activity, I think that when I get on cam in the chat room here... stark naked, hard and jacking off, that's exhibitionism.  It's not forced, but if you want to open the camera and look, you can.  And I am then right out in front of everyone and clearly sexually charged and ... well, "all that."    Likewise, if I were to be in a place that I could get away with sexual activity in a public setting, that's still exhibitionism to me.  Not a circle jerk, but that CMNM thing or something similar.
  Finally, I also drive nude.  I do not flash anyone.  My golden rule is to never make the first move.  But, I will certainly make them wonder if a guy was to look over.  In the early mornings, I used to that the long way to the gym and would first drive north (ha, about 20 miles) before heading south to the gym.  I would have a good time passing those business men on the interstate.  I'd pass the guy driving alone - with the clothes hanging in the back seat - and just as I got next to him and he was giving that absent-minded glance that we all do, I'd pull my t-shirt off - look back "absent-mindedly" myself.  And then just see what he does.  I was often pleasantly surprised at the number of times the guy would speed up and start keeping pace.  Thinking back, I just thought that they didn't get laid before they had to head out of town.  Who knows?   But, I've driven nude a lot.  I've also had many "car jackings" or offered "drive by shootings" - and that was exhibitionism to me.
  I suppose if there was to be an unsuspecting target - it would be men.  While I never "flashed" - I did hold the thought that if a guy were to figure out that I'm nekkid, he would be much more likely to shrug it off and not feel threatened.
  Anyway, enough ramblin' here- it's making my dick go down.

  Hmmm, I am sure there is a good definition somewhere ... but I reflect on the old adage "You know one when you see one" and as far as exhibitionism goes, that applies to me.
