  • The much-vaunted sex appeal of American women is drawn from films, reviews and pin-ups, and is in large print fictitious. A recent medical survey in the United States showed that 75% of young American women are without strong sexual feeling and instead of satisfying their libido they seek pleasure narcissistically in exhibitionism, vanity, and the cult of fitness and health in a sterile sense.

    Strong   Sex   Vanity  
  • As you probably know, I'm often accused of intellectual exhibitionism and all forms of elitism. Although I can understand this point of view, it's a rather wasted argument because, if we regard areas of information as being elite and therefore somehow not usable, it means our centre-ground of activity becomes very, very impoverished.

    Peter Greenaway, Vernon W. Gras (2000). “Peter Greenaway: Interviews”, p.78, Univ. Press of Mississippi
  • All my movies have an autobiographical dimension, but that is indirectly, through the characters. In fact I am behind everything that happens and that is said, but I am never talking about myself in first person. Something in me - probably a dislike of cheap exhibitionism- stops me from approaching a project too autobiographically.

  • Exhibitionism and a nervous wish for concealment, for anonymity, thus battle inside the buyer of any piece of clothing.

    Clothes   Wish   Battle  
    Elizabeth Bowen (1950). “Collected Impressions”
  • The left-wing Democrats will represent the party of total hedonism, total exhibitionism, total bizarreness, total weirdness, and the total right to cripple innocent people in the name of letting hooligans loose.

    "Newt Gingrich: GOP's Bare-Knuckles Battler". "Tampa Bay Times" (St. Petersburg) Newspaper, July 27, 1989.
  • I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.

  • Jazz should be much less about stress on technical exhibitionism and much more on emotional content.

  • Exhibitionism is like a drug. Hooked in adolescence I was now taking doses so massive they would have killed a novice.

    "The Naked Civil Servant". Book by Quentin Crisp, 1968.
  • Some of the most vocal critics of the way things are being done are people who have done nothing themselves, and whose only contributions to society are their complaints and moral exhibitionism.

    "Random Thoughts". www.jewishworldreview.com. October 17, 2005.
  • The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.

  • You go to someone and you think, 'I'll tell him this.' But why? The impulse is that the telling is going to relieve you. And that's why you feel awful later--you've relieved yourself, and if it truly is tragic and awful, it's not better, it's worse---the exhibitionism inherent to a confession has only made the misery worse.

    Philip Roth (1997). “American Pastoral”, p.90, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There's a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing's kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there's also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.

  • If modesty disappeared, so would exhibitionism.

  • Dining out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink, and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them. They end on Monkey Hill.

    Food   Cooking   Abuse  
  • Luxury is obviously the direction that interests me the most, but there is a lot of confusion between luxury and exhibitionism. For me, the concept of luxury is more traditional, more exclusive, more sophisticated than luxury for the masses.

    Interview with Daniela Morera, www.interviewmagazine.com. November 21, 2008.
  • Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

    Funny   Humorous   Acting  
    In Time 3 July 1978, p. 33
  • Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.

  • The night club had a curious and diverse appeal. To some it was a sex-exciter. To others, frequenting a night club and throwing away money was a form of exhibitionism...wealthy men from out of town visited the clubs for appalling orgies of spending and drinking, and most of them seemed to think it was worth the cost.

    Sex   Drinking   Night  
  • My own feelings about the direction in which jazz should go are that there should be much less stress on technical exhibitionism and much more on emotional content, on what might be termed humanity in music and the freedom to say all that you want.
