Anásyrma (Ancient Greek: ἀνάσυρμα) composed of ana: up or against or back, and syrma: skirt, plural: anasýrmata (ἀνασύρματα), also called anasyrmós (ἀνασυρμός), is the gesture of lifting the skirt or kilt. It is used in connection with certain religious rituals, eroticism, and lewd jokes (see, for example, Baubo). The term is used in describing corresponding works of art. Anasyrma differs from "flashing", a physically similar gesture as an act of exhibitionism, in that an exhibitionist has an implied purpose of his/her own sexual arousal, while anasyrma is done only for the effect on the onlookers.
