Question

Is the woman who flashes her crotch at a bar evaluated in the same way as a man who flashes his crotch at a bar? Do we have the same evaluation of a woman and a man walking down the street dressed scantily? Are these all examples of exhibitionism? If so, do you think there is a gender bias? Why do you think this discrepancy exists? How might it contribute to the belief that men are more likely to engage in atypical sexual behavior? Do you think women are less likely to be labeled, caught, or reported?

Answer 1

No, the woman who flashes her crotch at a bar is not evaluated in the same way as a man who flashes his crotch at a bar because there is difference in the sexual behavior of man and woman

No, we do not have the same evaluation of a woman and a man walking down the street dressed scantily.

Yes, these are all examples of exhibitionism. Exhibitionism is the act of exposing those parts of the body that are not normally exposed in a public context.

Yes, there is a gender bias.

This discrepancy exists because there is difference between the sexual behavior of man and woman. There is difference in the development of sexual arousal in response to various kinds of images or stimuli between man and woman. There is a difference in sex drive or sexual compulsivity between man and woman.

Men are more likely to engage in atypical sexual behavior because erotosexual differentiation is more complex and subject to more errors. Sexual arousal and sex drive in men is more than women. There is discrepancy between the sexual activity and behavior of men and women. Sexual compulsivity is also more in men than in women.

Yes, women are less likely to be labeled, caught, or reported in atypical sexual behavior because sexual arousal, sex drive and sexual compulsivity is less in them as compared to men.
