The term may also be applied to the practice of undressing or otherwise exposing a partner to others, as well as to either the consensual or non-consensual (and therefore unethical and illegal) posting of personal images of a partner publicly or to urging them to wear clothing which reveals their physical attractiveness to such as a microskirt, tight-fitting or see-through clothing, low-cut top, or minimal-coverage swimwear.
