A member asked:
Is there any treatment for exhibitionism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Therapy and medications are the main treatments for this serious problem. Unfortunately, many individuals with this paraphilia (sexual behavior involving unusual and socially unacceptable practices) don't seek help until they have been arrested. Exhibitionism is diagnosed after a person is distressed over, or has acted on, the sexual urge to expose genitals to an unsuspecting stranger.
