Abstract
Although genital exhibitionism has traditionally been almost exclusively associated with males, similar behavior may occur in certain women with a particular set of life circumstances and precipitants. A case report is presented of a woman whose emotional deprivation led to feelings of rejection and the inability to develop empathic relationships. Her self-esteem relied on success in her profession, and when she lost her position, she sought validation through exhibitionism. Despite the widely held view that genital exhibitionism producing arousal and stimulation in the subject occurs only in men, this case demonstrates that such phenomena may exist in women as well.
