The behavior of exhibitionism involves exposing one's genitals to strangers, with occasional masturbation. With fetishism, an object such as women's undergarments or foot apparel is used for sexual arousal. With frotteurism, sexually arousing urges, fantasies, and behaviors occur when touching or rubbing one's genitals against the breasts, genitals, or thighs of a nonconsenting person. Voyeurism involves "peeping," for the purpose of sexual excitement, at unsuspecting people who are nude, undressing, or engaged in sexual activity.
