Don't have any outstanding books on exhibitionism to recommend. But I would want to find out what the fantasies are that are associated with this interest of his. To explore that, I'd try some imagination exercises. Using such exercises often amounts to therapy itself, too, as well as assessment. Joseph Shorr, in his books on imagination techniques of therapy has many, many ideas on formulating such exercises. For example, asking the client to have his penis talk to him and then having him imagine what it would say, what he would answer back, and so on in a continuiing dialogue, is one possibility. Another is to imagine two penises or a penis and a vagina walking in a meadow: where do they go?, what do they do?, have them talk to each other, and so on. Shorr also includes short-answer sentence-completion excerices to accompany these kinds of imagination exercises. One can have the client imagine being in a group of women and imagine that his penis talks to each one of the women and then he talks to each one of them and then to his penis in reply to what his penis had to say. Usually before introducing such intensive imagination exercises, which can be very powerful since they are effective in bypassing the defensive censor, it may be helpful to use some warm-up imagination exercises to help the client become accustomed to spontaneously allowing images to pot into one's mind. Joseph Shorr's books explain all this is much, much more detail, of course. Thought you'd like to know.
