Näitistest

Näitistest is a term used in Estonian to refer to exhibitionists. It specifically refers to individuals who engage in the act of exhibitionism, which is characterized by the exposure of one's genitals to an unsuspecting stranger for sexual gratification. This behavior is typically considered a paraphilia and is often a component of exhibitionistic disorder.

Exhibitionistic acts are often performed in public places or semi-public spaces where the risk of being observed is present. The primary motivation for exhibitionists is usually the arousal and excitement derived from the shock or surprise of the observer. It is important to distinguish between a single instance of exhibitionistic behavior and a pattern of behavior that meets the criteria for a clinical disorder, which requires distress or impairment in functioning, or a repeated pattern of such acts.

In legal contexts, exhibitionism is often considered a criminal offense, with laws varying by jurisdiction. These laws are typically designed to protect the public from unwanted sexual exposure and to address the potential harm or distress caused by such acts. Awareness and understanding of this behavior are important for public safety and for those who may encounter it.
