exhibitionist
Craves public display
An exhibitionist is someone who craves attention and behaves in ways calculated to attract it: He's such an exhibitionist—always the loudest person in the room.
In psychology, the term specifically describes someone with a compulsion to expose their genitals to strangers.
The broader sense dominates casual usage, while the clinical sense appears in legal and psychiatric contexts.
