Voyeurism - Please Help Me Understand The Visceral Thrill Of It

ElisabethWhispers's Avatar
I have never understood the idea of voyeurism in it's classic form. When I've been in a situation where I was watching two people having sex, I have always felt kindof clinically removed from the situation unless the possibility was there to jump right in.

Thought this would be a good topic to discuss. Are adult films a "voyeuristic" activity as well? There are many levels of what this word might mean to others, isn't there?

Watchful kisses,

Love to be watched.
I'm not big into porn, but I do love to watch and be watched. I end up sounding like a broken Paris Hilton record "that's hot." "That's hot." " That's hot."
EW, I think this fetish might be alot like most other fetishes. The explanation is difficult to put into words. In short, something either makes you hot or it doesn't.

I have always loved "watching"! It's sort of like a "forbidden" thing and I suppose that is what makes it hot.

In my marriage (years ago), I loved watching my husband with other women! It was like having an out of body experience. Does that sound strange? LOL!

I just always have enjoyed watching people period. ESPECIALLY while having sex! Porn is an entirely different thing...THAT is on film and is nothing more than a movie. Watching people in real life is FAR better.

I think the HOTTEST would be to be HIDDEN and watching the people involved. Hmmmm...

For me it is erotic to watch others get all hot and heavy with each, (whether they know it or not)...the scene is just a major turn on. Same goes being watched, not so much in the same room but peaking in, the not knowing but the wondering does make having sex so much more intriguing. That is probably why Public sex is so HOT, you know you could get caught but hey it's done anyways! YUMMY

Now as for Porn, for me it's just something to get off on, nothing to do with Voyerurism.

I enjoy watching,but would much rather be in the action..lol!
To me, I am not really into watching in a safe environment... I like it a bit Risque.... It is the added thrill of 2 verboten activities. I have been watched a few times, and it did spur me on to new heights.

Sometimes it is an academic exercise, when I watch others play. What can I learn? And sometimes there is a thrill in sneaking a peek as someone fools around and is not hiding it....

Hell, Even St. C can't help himself... He had to come look....
I’ve watched as my lover wrapped his muscular, darkly tanned arms around the waist of a beautiful woman with alabaster skin while she was ridding him. I was mesmerized by her creamy, curvy ass below his arms then her soft back with a pronounced spine rising up and out of his arms. Hot; very hot. That was probably five years ago, and it still gets me going. But there are some people I’d rather not even see naked let alone doing the wild thing.

I think listening in on someone having a wild time would be fun.

I am both a voyeur and an exhibitionist. As a voyeur, the sight of a female performing a sex act with her male mate in person gets me harder faster and longer lasting from the sheer excitement of seeing her head going up and down or her body absorbing his penis. (Thank God for The Lido) Watching MFM or more also does it for me in a huge way. Watching two women going at it is ok, but not the same level of excitement.

Watching without the couple knowing they are being watched is even better.

As an exhibitionist, I get tremendous thrills out of having my partner strung up and exposed as the floggers and cats weave a pattern across her body, front and back, clothspins attached to skin and pulled off as she shreiks with each pull. Kissing her between implements, to remind her that all of this attention is showing how much I love her.

But I digress. This is for another thread.
