What is Exhibitionism

New Media and Visual Communication in Social Networks
Is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed – for example, the breasts, genitals or buttocks. The practice may arise from a desire or compulsion to expose themselves in such a manner to groups of friends or acquaintances, or to strangers for their amusement or sexual satisfaction or to shock the bystander. Exposing oneself only to an intimate partner is normally not regarded as exhibitionism. In law, the act of exhibitionism may be called indecent exposure, “exposing one's person”, or other expressions.

Abstract
With the development of communication technologies and changing perceptions of privacy in Turkey, it has emerged to problematize as concept voyeurism. The basic element that framed the intimate place over the body is the place. In social networks, the reset function of the place transforms the private body into a public domain for consumption. The notion of voyeurism, which means watching, is also related to place as of origin. The pleasure of peeping the place belonging to others is also related to the pleasure of penetrating the boundaries of place. Social networks threaten privacy/space as a voyeur environment in the context of establishing this system of pleasure. In the context of social networks, place, and body, a conceptual framework will be discussed, as well as privacy and voyeurism. Also, the selected social network activities will be examined by Instagram's photo and video sharing content analysis method.
