Shame Culture on Social Media: Body Show Off Posts

Have you ever had any experience with exhibitionism? It can be a pretty intense and titillating experience, but for some people, it’s a lifestyle. Exhibitionistic Disorder is characterized by the urge to expose one’s genitals to strangers or unsuspecting onlookers. The causes are unknown, but it is thought that one or multiple factors, such as antisocial personality disorder, substance abuse, or other paraphilic disorders, may play a role. If this sounds like something you (or someone you know) experience often, please reach out for help.

Maybe one of us has experienced the unpleasant thing of being sent sensual content (someone exposing genitals). Moreover, the widespread use of social media allows uncivilized users to intentionally do this to strangers. Not only can it traumatize the victim, but it also tarnishes the image of the platform, which does a poor job of filtering the delivery of indecent content. Treatment options exist, and professional support can make living with this condition much more manageable. If you want to share your experiences with exhibitionism!
