Do You Like To Watch?

She slowly stripped, swaying to the music. He sat in his chair, wanting to reach out to her, but not daring to. She turned to him, slowly taking off her bra, first lowering the left strap, then the right one, then letting the flimsy piece of lace fall to the ground. Her hands covered her nipples. He felt the arousal slowly taking him over, making him breath deeply, and giving him an erection. Oh, how he loved to watch. She turned again, and he could see her naked back as she bent over to give him a good view.

If this got you hot, it is obvious you like to watch. Don’t worry, you are not alone. We all do. Voyeurism is more popular than ever.

Voyeurism has taken a big leap. In the olden days, we had to satisfy our curiosity with peeking into our neighbor’s windows, watching movies, or going to strip clubs. These days we have the Internet, and thousands willing to show more than just some skin. We get to look at people who share with us their most intimate thoughts and body parts. No wonder so many of us like to surf the web, it satisfies even the most curious of peeping Toms…

The only thing that really surprises me is the fact that so many are willing to have others looking at them. Exhibitionism has also found a new home, a place to do it without getting fined or imprisoned for lewd behavior. A place to share yourself, without making it personal.

Just take a look at the success of Myspace. It’s one of the most popular sites for people to show themselves, opening themselves up not only to voyeurism, but to comments by those voyeurs as well. People who like to tell the world about themselves, about their most intimate thoughts and feelings, can today do so on thousands of websites or in chat rooms. More often than not, they tell strangers more than they would their best friends.

All those who used to sneakily take a peek at their neighbors can now do so in the comfort of their own living room. No more need to drill holes in shower walls, the girls in those showers have probably shown more of themselves on the internet than you will ever be able to see through that peephole. Lewdness has taken on a new dimension.

In the end, it just comes down to this. We all are voyeurs; we all have this curiosity that needs to be satisfied. And most of us are exhibitionists as well, willing to show strangers on the net more than we would strangers in real life. The not quite correct feeling of anonymity provokes behavior none of us would ever dare to show outside of the Internet. And luckily, there are plenty of people willing to watch those who expose themselves.

Just remember, one of those watching might be your next door neighbour…
