Extract

Indecent exposure is the second commonest sexual offence in England and Wales. The offenders responsible usually fall into the clinical group known as exhibitionists. Exhibitionism is one of the less well understood sexual disorders, and is virtually confined to males. It is characterized by the urge to expose the genitals to members of the opposite sex in a more or less public situation.
