The Beginners Guide to Exhibitionism

Introduction

This is the second in a series of 'how to' guides, concentrating this time on exhibitionism of your partner or submissive, rather than of yourself. The former I know a lot about, the latter nothing at all, so if you want to know how to do that, you'll need to ask someone else! I'm going to talk about exhibiting your (female) partner, since that's where my experience is.

If you've never tried anything like this, I should point out that there are one or two potential problems with it. Firstly, depending on exactly what you're doing, it may be illegal. My understanding, which you may wish to check for yourself is that if a man exhibits himself, or flashes at unsuspecting passers by they are going to be committing a criminal offence and could likely end up on some sort of charge. If a woman does so, it is unlikely that much would legally come of it. However, you should be aware that this is, legally speaking, a dangerous area.

The second point is an ethical one, which is that if you are involving other people, you are, initially at least, doing so without their consent and they may be unhappy, disturbed or annoyed at this, understandably so. There is a very thin line to be drawn therefore, but it is up to you as to where you draw it; I can't help on that.

Exhibitionism for the novice

Displaying your partners body, or getting her to do it can be a very potent and arousing activity. Normally, we spend a lot of time clothed, and letting someone else see your partner is exciting, dangerous and very erotic. She may well be very unkeen on the idea, so it is best to approach this in slow stages; it make take several years to progress from one stage to another. However, you're not involved in a race with anyone else, so don't feel that you've got to end up getting your partner to walk naked down Oxford Street! Taking it slowly allows you both to discuss it, and decide to stop at a point at which you both feel comfortable. So although I'm talking about a series of stages, do whatever you feel happy with; I'm not advocating what you have to do, merely some of the things you can do.

I guess the first stage is to wear normal everyday clothes, but without underwear. If your partner is particularly busty it may be uncomfortable for her to go without a bra, which means she's going to want to stop as soon as possible, so you need to be sensitive to how she feels about this. However, if it is practical, get her to go out wearing, as I say, her normal clothes. If she wears a shirt or blouse with buttons, or a short skirt, so much the better. Encourage her to not to button up all the way; in fact to wear the blouse with one more button undone than usual. You should be able to get a nice view when she leans over, and you should both get a thrill out of the fact that you can see rather more of her than you'd expect to in a public situation!

Choose your location carefully, since one of the exciting things is that someone might, just might see a little more than they would do normally. A restaurant is always a good idea; make sure you drop something onto the floor so you have to lean down and pick it up, giving you the opportunity to look up her skirt for example. Alternatively, go somewhere rather quieter and get her to perhaps undo all the buttons on her shirt. That way if someone happens along, its still going to be possible for her to cover up quickly, and its unlikely that anyone will notice anything. Its very interesting in the UK… people see what they expect to see, and although people probably wouldn't notice her desperate attempts to hold her shirt together, you don't know for certain, and neither does she.

Some other ideas at this stage in order to get more comfortable with flashing in an environment in which she still has a lot of control over the situation:
A clothing store. Get her to change into something else in a cubical, but leave the curtain just slightly open, so that if someone is at the right angle, they might be able to see into it, and at her. There are lots of levels of daringness here; the extent to which the curtain is left open, if she's wearing underwear, and indeed what she is changing into.
Sunbathing. Lying on her front with the strap of her bikini undone. She can then sit up, either a little or a lot, depending on who is around and how brave she feels.
In a train carriage. Once people get settled in their seats they don't often move around. Choose a quiet time of the day, and wait until the train has moved off. Then she can undo her top, or pull up her skirt for you to see. Of course, you can vary this depending on the time of day, so that it is busier, or with the number of people around you.
In the car. Have a look next time you're driving along; its actually quite difficult to see what passengers in other cars are wearing. Unless you're a lorry driver, of course. Start off slow, perhaps without jeans/skirt and get braver by not wearing a top. Braver still with feet on the dashboard while using a vibrator. Even braver is to do that while stuck in a traffic jam with a lorry on the passenger side.

I've labelled all of these as 'novice', with some twists in there. I'm sure you can think of twists on them, and there's plenty of others you could do as well. However, really they're not 'novice' - if that's all you want to do, that's fine. There is no race, no 'one true way', just go with what you feel happy doing.

Intermediate exhibitionism.

If your sub started out shy, but you've managed to beg, plead, order or demand her, she should hopefully have got more confidence by this point, which was the whole point of the exercise. The next stage is a little more dangerous, and perhaps a little more exciting. Up until now, its been reasonably easy to cover up and to act as though nothing happened. You might want to try some situations where its not quite as easy.
At the beach. Wearing a bikini into the water and 'loose' the top. Or the bottom. Or both. Still looks accidental, and its unlikely anyone would mind that much if they did happen to catch an eyefull. For added excitement, place your beachmat quite far up the beach, so she has to walk back. For a little more safety, have the mat closer to the sea and have a towel handy.
Wear a low-cut t-shirt. The athletic body builder types are good for this, the ones with the large arm holes. Difficult not to flash in that situation, and if anyone is particularly interested, they can work out for themselves the best position to stand in to get a good look. Wear it to the supermarket, and lean down into the chill cabinet, which has added results!
Bodypaint. This is a great one. You can buy cheap bodypaint in toy shops, and a little bit of practice should result in a reasonable facsimile of a bikini top. (Links to some pictures from my home page). People 'see' the bikini, they don't see that there isn't one.
Oopps! Choose an old dress (for reasons as you'll see), with nothing underneath. Accidently catch the dress in the car door when getting out, and walk away, ripping it off. You might need to do some work on the seams for this to work properly.
Clothing store Wearing t-shirt and jumper, go into a clothing store and decide to try on a new top. Remove the jumper, but by accident, remove the t-shirt as well.
Water. Choose a top which goes transparent when wet. Plenty of ways to get it wet.
Scaring the owlsStart going out late at night. Especially in the summer, cool night air is lovely against the skin. Try walking along the road with nothing on under a light coat. Open the coat, or remove it entirely. Walk some way away from your sub, and get them to walk along quite naked. Don't go too far, because if a car does come around the corner, you want to be in a position to cover her quickly; you don't want the driver to think she's been attacked.
The woods Take a walk in the woods, off the beaten track. Discard clothing as you go. If you find a nice suntrap, lay out a blanket for some nude sunbathing. If anyone does come by, its unlikely that they'll be too distressed.
Photo booths ... are not just for taking photographs to put into your passport!

Advanced exhibitionism

Still with me? Good.. because now is where it starts to get really interesting. If you've been patient and encouraging and your sub has built up her confidence you can really start getting daring. We're at the point of no return now… if she gets seen, well, she gets seen and there isn't a damn thing to be done about it.
Back to the woods. (I like woods, but you probably guessed that by now). Wear old clothes (you're way ahead of me at this point aren't you!). Once into the woods, rip them off. There will still be material available for coverup, but its going to be increasingly difficult to remain modest.
An early morning walk. Sunday, 6am. Everyone should be in bed, but you never can tell. Walk the same streets that you did at night, trying out the things mentioned above.
Celebrations Get a little too excited at an open air party… people don't usually care what happens when they're celebrating England winning an important football match, or listening to their favourite band at an open air concert.
CarparksVisit a carpark at night. Carparking can be great fun, if done correctly. You need to discover the right carpark, which might take some time. Try one located at a tourist spot or, you guessed it, a wood. Park up and wait. Sooner or later a car will drive in and park. A little while later you'll probably hear a rustling as the peeping tom gets a bit closer, at which point you can turn the car light on, or use a flashlight. Display, play, whatever, with a willing and enthusiastic audience.
Hotels. Big fun. Get accidently locked outside the room for a few moments. Or longer. Go into the hotel sauna with just a towel on. Fun on the way there, while there and on the way back.

Involving other people.

This is where you really have the moral dilemma, of course. There are a few things which can be done though. In case you're wondering, I didn't include carparking in this section, because the voyeurs are there for a specific reason, which is to watch. This section is to flash people who weren't expecting it, but as I said, you don't want to upset them. However, its always worth being in mind that if you flash quickly, most people won't believe their eyes.
Escalators. Flash the people going up as you go down. Or vice versa.
On the train again. Stand up, and flash passengers on the opposite platform as the train leaves the station. They probably wont believe what they've seen.
Nudist beaches. People obviously expect nudity on a beach. Some come specifically to look for it, and you can soon tell. They tend to circle, getting closer and closer. They can be encouraged, but a simple glare will usually warn them off. I don't really like this one, since voyeurs may assume that all naked women on a nude beach want to be watched, but that isn't always the case of course. Use discretion, and be considerate of the fact that encouraging people to look at your sub is different to implicitly encouraging them to look at other women.
Sentry dutyLocate someone who cannot leave their post. That post might be an icecream van, a 24 hour garage at night, shopkeeper etc. Get her to wear something revealing, which shows enough, but not everything. You'll soon get an idea about their level of enthusiasm, and if they are interested, engage in chitchat. They'll be happy to do that, trust me. Your sub can slowly unzip or unbutton as appropriate.
Ask them. Subtly, of course. A good opening line is for her to say to a guy (usually in a quiet place) 'Can you help us out over a disagreement. My boyfriend seems to think that most men would always say yes to the idea of seeing a naked female body, while I think they'd be too embarrassed. What do you think?' If he says he'd be embarrassed, go no further. If he says he wouldn't, then you know that you're onto a happy voyeur.
Adult bookshops. Nice idea, but remember, they are there to make money, not to act as a private playground. You could go in beforehand and ask the owner if he would mind your sub getting a bit frisky. I doubt it would work, but you could try.
Adult cinemas. Different game altogether. The men watching the films would much rather look at real flesh rather than celluloid. They do tend to get a little enthusiastic though, so without wishing to put you off, make sure that you are close to an exit in case a quick getaway is in order.
Streaking. We've all seen it happen, but its getting dangerous. Very easy for the police to be around, ditto journalists. If you don't mind being in the papers, go for it.
Photographs. It's always fun to have a memento of the event, but don't forget that you're still involving someone else, if you have to get the pictures developed. As long as it is just straight forward nudity there shouldn't be too much of a problem, since the developers have seen it all before. If in doubt ask. Or, for greater fun, get your sub to ask. Choose a developer who develops the photographs as they come out of the developing kit into the window. Make sure you and your sub are there to watch the photographic evidence being shown in a front window for anyone to see. They probably wont, but you can never be sure, can you? Alternatively, as was suggested to me, use a polaroid, or b&w and develop for yourself if you want 'action shots'.
Those are just a few of the things you might want to try. They can almost all be amended for greater or lesser exposure depending on how you feel.

The Rascals golden rules for exhibitionism.

These are just our rules. I don't expect anyone else to follow them, and I'm not saying that you should.

  1. Check out the location before you start.
  2. Plan an escape route or explanation if the worst happens.
  3. Remember that other people may not like it, so be respectful of them
  4. Remember that you can get away with more than you think
  5. Have something available for cover up. (Keep a pocket mac in your back pocket, but don't let her know that).
  6. Go at a pace which is comfortable for both of you. A daring exhibitionist is a confident exhibitionist. This only comes as a result of experience, so don't rush it.
  7. Spend longer looking around and less looking at her, just so that you can see if someone is coming.
  8. Always be on the lookout for good sites
  9. Enjoy it!
  10. Tell me where you're going to be, so I can come along and watch! ;)
