Voyeurism, a sex disorder that desires to peek at other people

If most people satisfy their sexual appetite by having sex, a person with voyeurism can feel satisfied just by peering at other people. Yes, just peeking at someone having sex or changing clothes can satisfy sexual desire. Why is there anyone with this sexual slack?

Knowing about voyeurism, the penchant for peeking at other people

According to the American Psychiatric Association, a person is said to be a voyeurist if for at least 6 months they have been peeking at other people in sex scenes or naked, and it could have disturbed the interests and privacy of others.

Research summarized in the International Journal of Sexual Health states that of the 318 participants who took part in the study, as many as 83 percent of men and 74 percent of women said they wanted to see sexual views only if other people didn't notice them.

This is a natural human instinct, that in fact everyone has a desire to see a sexual scene without being caught by other people. So, it is not surprising that the activity of peeking or just seeing other naked people secretly, such as taking a shower, or changing clothes can indeed bring sexual pleasure and satisfaction. However, this does not apply to be categorized as voyeurism.

Voyeurism is usually characterized by an uncontrollable urge to peek or look at other people who are naked, undressing, or engaging in sexual activities. From this activity, a veyeurist will get sexual satisfaction.

Peeping becomes the exclusive way or the only way to get sexual satisfaction. This means that veyeurists don't want to have sex with the person they snooped on at all.

Unlike a normal person, the voyeuryser is satisfied without having to have sexual intercourse, but can get sexual satisfaction without sexual activity, or it can be by masturbating during or after peeping.

Why does anyone have this sex disorder?

From the results above, it can be assumed that voyeurism is more common in men. Perpetrators of voyeurism do have a tendency to be more open and expressive to outsiders, but female voyeurists have a tendency to completely shut themselves off so that other people don't know if they have voyeuristic behavior.

Perpetrators of voyeurism are usually motivated by insecurity or discomfort to channel sexual urges when dealing directly with sexual objects, so they are more comfortable peeking at other people. This is taken from the understanding of Freud's theory of psychoanalysis.

The reason is, by peeping, they are able to maintain sexual control without experiencing the fear of failure or rejection from a real partner. For a pure voyeurist, he is not at all interested in sexual interactions and sexual relations with other people because it brings discomfort and insecurity to him.

So, for those of you who may frequently use public toilets, you have to be more vigilant. Often times, because you are in a rush, you are not aware of the condition of the toilet other than its cleanliness. You can also check if there are any suspicious holes. Better to be on guard than to be traumatized, right?
