Women and exhibitionism: Query for Lady Dopers

Oh, oh! Lookit me, lookit me!

Yes, I realy get off on people looking at me, to answer your question.

Nice armadillo.

A couple of times I have exposed body parts to others while in the presence of my husband and it turned me on but only because it turned him on so much. Without his kinky desires in the mix, I would never expose my breasts or genitalia to strangers. I have been known to wear some pretty provocative clothing, but I think that’s different.

Qadgop:

While the answers thus far have varied, I do tend to sense that most females become aroused by their own exhibitionism only when they sense that others are being aroused by it.

I think that we can easily form a distinction between the sexes here. The sexual arousal of males who are exhibitionists probably doesn’t have much to do with how aroused the “viewer” is.

I’d say that this could point to a difference in the psychological makeups of the 2 sexes.

Let’s hope to here more responses.

That would be true of me, for the most part. Occasionally, though, I will enjoy being naked alone in my house and get turned on by the idea/experience.

Sorry, that’s HEAR more responses.

I like to wander around the house in the buff, whether my husband is there or not. But it’s not a turn-on to me, even when he’s obviously pleased.

As to whether I’d get jollies out of flashing strangers - I can’t imagine doing that, but it may be my own appearance issues. I’ve dressed in the past knowing that I’d get a reaction from certain people, but it was just a tease (I’m so ashamed) and meant nothing to me.

Ditto.

Perhaps you have a point, but that would necessitate examining the thoughts of a male exhibitionist. And I suspect that many of them would say that they at least fantasize that the people watching them get aroused. I think everyone wants to be lusted after at some time.

Does it have to be to more than one person? I find it a turn-on to get naked and/or dress provocatively for my partner while he watches, but I wouldn’t dream of doing it for anyone else or find it in the least erotic to get naked in front of strangers.

francesca, the audience can range from zero to 6 billion, as long as the woman showing off is doing it at least partly for her own gratification.

i enjoy being naked.

i’ve stripped before and am considering doing so again. i’m almost determined to get a job as a peep show girl for at least a brief spell. softcore porn isn’t entirely out of the question, but i’m teetering away from the idea due to fear that my father would find it (murphy’s law & all that).

i’m very anti-sensationalist and anti-sensualist in my nakedness. i’m a flat-out sexualist…drapey scarves and strategically soft amber lighting and mood music really annoy me. then again, i’m body-conscious enough that i’m not terribly thrilled about being seen naked in good lighting…but i don’t like that smushy veneer-of-romanticism.

i also have a tendency to dance naked in front of the mirror in my bedroom. anyone who’s ever known me well will attest that i gravitate towards mirrors and will consistently talk directly into them rather than looking at the person with whom i’m having a conversation.

Ditto that for me except I do use a calender (kinda) as we are thinking of having kids so I want to work out what days are good etc. We have actually managed to work that into our sexy talk routine “so is today a red letter day on the calender” etc.

As much as getting nekkid I love dressing up for my hubby, I recently bought these neat PJ’s which are hot pink and see through. He mentioned they reminded him of Jeanie from “I dream of Jeanie”, so I got all dressed up as her and surprised him when he came home. Just the anticipation when doing something like that is exciting.

It sounds as if our Doper Ladies who like to ‘show’ have the arousal of and appreciation from their partner as necessary components to their own arousal, for the most part.

starkyld, if you could expand on your response, that would be appreciated. How does the reaction of your audience impact on you? And how do you define sexualist vs. sensualist? I can guess at possible differences, but I’d like to know your thinking.

Anyone else with input?
