The perils of peeping
by Sharon Bell
Lady Godiva was an 11th century noblewoman who was against her
husband’s plan of imposing heavy taxes on the people of
Coventry, England.
As a sign of protest, she rode naked through the market place.
This prompted her husband, Leofric, the earl of Mercia, to
abandon all taxes except those on horses.
While Godiva paraded around town in all her naked glory, her
husband ordered the people to shut their windows and doors so
they couldn't see her. Those who did were threatened with severe
punishment.
A tailor named Tom, however, couldn't resist the temptation and
peeped through the shutters of his window. He was caught and
blinded.
The word "Peeping Tom" was derived from that incident. It is
another name for voyeurism, a sexual aberration in which a
person derives satisfaction from looking at naked people or
couples making love.
“Voyeurism is a disorder that involves achieving sexual
arousal by observing an unsuspecting and non-consenting person
who is undressing or unclothed, and/or engaged in sexual
activity. This behavior may conclude with masturbation by the
voyeur. The voyeur does not seek sexual contact with the person
he is observing,” according to MedicineNet.
All of us are Peeping Toms or voyeurs to certain ex¬tent and
this has made the producers of skin flicks filthy rich. Kids are
normally interested in their bodies and they like to compare
their genitals with those of the opposite sex. At school, boys
watch girls and vice versa. All this is an essential part of our
sexual maturity.
Voyeurism becomes bad if it becomes a substitute for sex. The
real voyeur doesn't get any pleasure from watching pornographic
movies or reading books or magazines of the same nature. Instead
he prefers looking at other people's genitals in public toilets.
He frequently visits parks and movie houses where he can spy on
lovers doing their thing.
Others go to the extent of crawling to their neighbor's backyard
at midnight, hoping to get a glimpse of naked bodies. The danger
of being caught or seen by others arouses voyeurs even more.
This is the only way they can get sexual satisfaction.
Most voyeurs are shy, isolated individuals who fear women and
doubt their sexual capabilities. Peeping gives them a sense of
fulfillment without the risk of being rejected by others.
If voyeurism is the result of emotional immaturity, it can be
corrected by psychotherapy. But if it persists, it may be a
serious personality disorder that is difficult to cure.
