Behavioral treatment of zoophilic exhibitionism.

We describe here a case of zoophilic exhibitionism involving a mildly mentally retarded man who masturbated in front of large dogs of either sex. Unlike most exhibitionists, he did not expose himself to women, and unlike most zoophiles, he never desired direct sexual contact with animals. His paraphilia, however, was responsive to a behavioral program comprising masturbatory satiation, covert sensitization, and stimulus control procedures.
