Can Only Men Be Exhibitionists? 只有男人是露出症患者？

The American Psychiatric Association defines exhibitionism as "recurrent intense sexually-arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving the exposure of one's genitals to unsuspecting strangers." In some cases, the motivation is to arouse shock, surprise, or even elicit sexual feelings in the observer(s).
In American society there are many more venues for women to expose their bodies, including their genitals to some degree, from skin-revealing casual dresses, to bikini-clad models to the get-ups of exotic dancers and show business personalities. Yet penalties or censure are almost non-existent for such behavior. Not many people consider this behavior sexually deviant or perverted.
A recent example of this double standard regarding genital exposure was the infamous "flashing" incident involving the singer Britney Spears, who was photographed getting out of the back seat of a limousine wearing a very short skirt and no underwear. Although the exposure was brief, nothing was left to the imagination, and it was recorded indelibly for posterity by the many paparazzi in close attendance.
Many commentators noted that this was probably a premeditated act to attract attention to herself, but no one suggested that Spears derived sexual gratification from the activity. And no one suggested that the police or any other authorities be contacted, which would almost certainly have been the case if a man were involved.
It is unlikely that anyone will accuse Spears of harboring a perversion, although shock, surprise, and sexual arousal were all distinctly possible responses for the observers involved. We are then left with a conundrum: Is it true that women in our society are free to expose their bodies with relatively little chance of censure, while for men such behavior is viewed as illegal and an indication of significant sexual deviance?

The American Psychiatric Association defines exhibitionism as "recurrent intense sexually-arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving the exposure of one's genitals to unsuspecting strangers." In some cases, the motivation is to arouse shock, surprise, or even elicit sexual feelings in the observer. 美国精神病学协会对露出狂的定义是＂定期发生的强烈的性唤起幻想，性冲动或行为包括对信任的陌生人露出生殖器．＂有时，在观察者中刺激会引起冲动，刺激，甚至是性感．

在美国社会，有许多妇女暴露身体的地方，包括一定程度暴露生殖器，从偶尔的露出皮肤，包括比基尼穿着的模特，外国舞者和娱乐业名人的衣裳．然而待遇这些行为刑罚和谴责都不存在．很少有人认为这种行为是性欲不正常或歪曲．
A recent example of this double standard regarding genital exposure was the infamous "flashing" incident involving the singer Britney Spears, who was photographed getting out of the back seat of a limousine wearing a very short skirt and no underwear. Although the exposure was brief, nothing was left to the imagination, and it was recorded indelibly for posterity by the many paparazzi in close attendance. 对于生殖器暴露的实行双重标准，最近有个例子著名的闪光事件，主人公是歌手Britney Spears．当时她穿着很短的裙子，并且没有内衣裤在轿车后座摄影．尽管暴露事件很短，没有给想像留下任何东西，但是它被附近的狗仔队拍下留给后代．
Many commentators noted that this was probably a premeditated act to attract attention to herself, but no one suggested that Spears derived sexual gratification from the activity. And no one suggested that the police or any other authorities be contacted, which would almost certainly have been the case if a man were involved. 许多舆论界注意到，这很可能是她本人为了吸引注意而有计划的行动，但是没有人认为Spears从该行为中获得性满足．也没有人认为***或当局政府应该介入，如果是一个男人的话这几乎肯定会发生．
