Voyeurism is a phenomenon in which an individual gains sexual pleasure or gratification by observing other people who are naked or engaged in sexual activity. This behavior is often considered a form of paraphilia, or a sexual disorder, and can have significant negative effects on both the voyeur and the individuals being observed. Voyeurism is not a new phenomenon and has been documented throughout history. It is often associated with men, although women can also exhibit voyeuristic tendencies. In modern times, the availability of technology has made voyeurism easier to engage in, with the rise of hidden cameras, spy cams, and other similar devices.
