Exhibitionism is a sexual interest or practice characterized by a person's enjoyment or arousal from displaying their body, sexual activities, or intimate behaviors to others. This can involve showing one's body in public, engaging in sexual acts where others can see or watch, or sharing intimate content such as photos or videos with an audience. Exhibitionism can manifest in a variety of ways, from consensual public nudity or voyeurism to sharing explicit content online or in person.

In the context of BDSM or kink play, exhibitionism may involve incorporating elements of showing off, performing, or being watched into sexual activities or scenes. Some individuals find pleasure in the thrill or excitement of being seen, admired, or desired by others, while others enjoy the power dynamics or control that come with being an exhibitionist. Exhibitionism can also be a way to explore fantasies, role-playing scenarios, or power dynamics within a consensual and negotiated dynamic.

Consent, communication, and respect for boundaries are key aspects of engaging in exhibitionism to ensure that all participants feel safe, comfortable, and respected. Clear negotiation of boundaries, discussion of limits, and establishment of safe words or signals can help create a consensual and enjoyable experience for all involved. Participants should have open communication about their desires, intentions, and comfort levels to ensure a mutually satisfying and fulfilling dynamic.

Aftercare, which involves providing emotional support, reassurance, and debriefing after the scene, can be important in exhibitionism play to help participants process their experiences and maintain a sense of connection and care. When done consensually, responsibly, and with an understanding of boundaries and communication, exhibitionism can be an exciting and liberating form of play for those who enjoy exploring sexual expression, power dynamics, and arousal in their BDSM or kink relationships.
