Exhibitionism

Exhibitionism is the pleasure of being seen. As a theme it covers the whole range from a lover who leaves the curtains open to a scene performed for an audience that knows it is an audience, and its charge comes from the presence of other eyes, real or possible. Readers who tick it want the risk written: the window, the door that might open, the person across the room who has noticed.

There is a distinction worth keeping. Being seen on purpose is exhibitionism. Being caught is the accident that turns the theme into a plot. Both are on the page here, and the best stories use the line between them, with a character who arranged to be seen and a character who does not yet know they were meant to see.

How the engine handles it. With Exhibitionism ticked, the plan writes the scenes with an audience or the possibility of one, and the story state tracks who has seen what, because that becomes a fact with consequences the story has to carry. The engine keeps spatial clarity at all times, which matters more here than in most themes: the reader must always know where the watcher is. It is the mirror of voyeurism, and stories often tick both, one for each of the two people. In group and reverse harem stories it is less about performance than about the people watching each other with her, and what that does to them. Everyone seen and everyone watching is an adult; that limit does not move.

Your stories are encrypted at rest. We can read them to write them. Nobody else can read them.
