exposing oneself
Public nudity offense
Exposing oneself is revealing one's genitals to others in public, typically for sexual gratification or to shock.
The act is generally illegal as indecent exposure: He was arrested for exposing himself on the subway.
The phrase can also mean making oneself vulnerable—to criticism, danger, or ridicule—but the sexual sense dominates.
