Abstract
Genital exhibitionism is motivated by a need for attention and admiration as well as by a wish to overcome shame and feelings of inadequacy. Genital exhibitionism is a sexualized form of countershame. It is an unsuccessful repetition compulsion to overcome the trauma of shame and humiliation and to create feelings of pride and power leading to sexual arousal.
