expose oneself

Commit public indecency

To expose oneself is to display one's genitals publicly, typically as a criminal act or deviant behavior: He was arrested for exposing himself in the park.

The phrase specifically means indecent exposure—deliberately revealing private body parts to unwilling viewers.

Distinguished from the broader sense of expose, which simply means to reveal or make visible.
