Cordelia is here with some sex education about the fetish of voyeurism.
What’s up everyone, I’m back with another fetish blog this week but here’s the catch, this blog will be broken into three parts. The first will look at Voyeurism, the second will look at Exhibitionism, and the final piece will talk about laws that involve both of them.
The Difference
Let’s talk about Exhibitionism and Voyeurism together, real quick. The arousal could be geared toward themselves, an intimate partner, or possibly someone they don’t even know. The the ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ classifies these as “intense and recurrent urges.” Both of them are fetishes that do not have the other parties consent and that is what is the turn on for those that enjoy these fetishes. The issue comes from the when they go from harmless and not hurting anyone, to causing some form of harm to the unconsenting party.
The two are slightly different, however, so let’s plunge into Voyeurism, first.
What is it?
Voyeurism is actually watching another person without them knowing. It could be watching them change through the windows while they’re undressing or having sex. It could be in their home, somewhere in public like a dressing room. The overall point is that they don’t know they’re being watched.
Let’s look at Voyeurism.
What is non consensual and harmful? Something like hidden cameras in dressing rooms, bathrooms, hotel rooms, etc are some examples. Other’s are peepholes instead of cameras in places like I mentioned.
What is consensual?
Good news, there are a lot of thing that are consensual! One of the most common is sexual acts with your intimate partner such as, watching them while they undress or pleasure themselves. Cammodels also offer voyeurism type videos or cam shows (If you’re one of those ladies and you’re reading this blog, feel free to comment on my twitter post when I share this!), people that go to nude beaches realize they may be oogled to an extent.
Finally, sex clubs. There are some aspects/things to take part in at a sex club that allow for this fetish but keep in mind, there are some that don’t. Remember, when it’s not your intimate partner involved and there is no conversation about what is allowed and what isn’t, be as respectful as you possibly can be. These folks know that they will be watched but again, to a certain point. Be respectful.
It’s okay to enjoy a fetish like this, sometimes it’s really fun to watch your partner whether it’s watching them masturbate or even have sex with someone else but the key thing here, is know the limits. Know and understand what is acceptable and what is not.
Stay tuned for the next piece that focuses on Exhibitionism!
