Exhibitionism

[Zorra]

Exhibitionism is a condition marked by the urge to expose one’s sexual organs to others, particularly strangers.

Exhibitionism, which involves exposing one's genitals or sexual organs to a stranger, falls under the psychiatric sexual disorders category of paraphilias, "abnormal or unnatural attraction" or obsession with unusual sexual practices or with sexual activity involving nonconsenting or inappropriate partners.

The exhibitionist might masturbate (or fantasize about masturbating) while exposing himself but makes no further attempt at sexual activity with the stranger. The individual is sometimes aware of a desire to startle or upset the observer. At times, the individual might fantasize that the observer will become sexually aroused. Exhibitionism, though often discussed as a humorous topic, is a very serious behavior that can frighten the victim. The exhibitionist is typically male, and the victim is usually a female (adult or child), and usually an unsuspecting stranger.

Social and sexual relationships may suffer if the behavior is found disturbing or if the individual's sexual partner refuses to cooperate with this particular preference. In some instances, the unusual behavior may become the major sexual activity in the individual's life. These individuals rarely seek help on their own and are likely to get professional assistance only when their behavior has brought them into conflict with sexual partners or society.

Based on this information, I do not believe that I would want to risk having an elected public official who is an exhibitionist represent me.

I am tolerant to the extreme of the sexual practices of others, but draw the line at tolerance when a compulsive, non-consensual sexual behavior causes harm to other beings. I do not want someone who is compelled by overpowering, uncontrollable sexual urges that may cause harm to others to make decisions for me.

1. Agreed and some will say no big deal

True not really ground breaking information people share nude photos and sex chat over the internet and cell phones. I believe public officials and or elected officials should be held to a higher standard and this sort of behavior once discovered should disqualify said person of any elected office.
