It's really best not to label people in image titles or captions like that, unless you know for certain that that person accepts the label (or is a paid model assuming a role who has signed a model release). Do you know for certain that the person in the photo would not object to being labelled an "exhibitionist" on the Internet? AnonMoos 07:12, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
