Did you know that there are people who actually have a greater desire to peek at other people instead of venting their sexual desires by having intimate affiliations? For these people, seeing someone take a bath or change clothes can satisfy their sexual desires. In the world of health, people who have this disorder are known as voyeurism sufferers.
The American Psychiatric Association defines voyeurism as people who for at least 6 months often have the habit of peeking at other people who are naked or having sex. In many cases, perpetrators of voyeurism are very disturbing to the privacy of others.
In a study published in the journal International Journal of Sexual Health, it was stated that 83 percent of men and 74 percent of women wanted to witness sexual scenes as long as they were not caught by other people. In this observation, it is stated that the hope of seeing other people naked or having intimate relations turns out to be a natural human instinct, although of course this should be done privately and not to be caught by other people. It is for this reason that seeing these things can indicate sexual satisfaction. However, it is not certain that this can be considered as voyeurism.
Voyeurism itself is able to make sufferers have excessive expectations to peek at other people. In fact, in many cases, the perpetrator will actually find intimate relationships as less satisfying than succeeding in snooping on other people.
Most perpetrators of voyeurism are men, although it is possible that women also do it. One thing is certain, this disorder turns out to be related to insecurity or discomfort in channeling sexual desires with the opposite sex and as a result chooses to peek at other people who are considered more conducive.
