10 Kinks That Became Popular During COVID-19

Voyeurism

Coming in at number nine we have voyeurism. Now, voyeurism is defined by a desire to watch someone get undressed, be naked, or engage in sexual activity, without that person knowing it. People often confuse voyeurism with a desire to be watched while getting undressed, being nude, or having sex, but that is actually exhibitionism. While there can be some legality and morality issues surrounding true voyeurism (with the naked party having their privacy violated), some couples find ways to legitimize the kink. In many cases, there is an agreement that, at some time, one person will observe the other (to which the latter consents), but the exact time is kept a secret. Someone with exhibitionist tendencies can derive pleasure from knowing at any given time, they may be watched, and someone with voyeuristic tendencies can enjoy feeling they’re doing the watching “in secrecy.” If you consider how many individuals are packed into apartment buildings in the cities due to COVID-19, you can see how one of these relationships may play out between two neighbors with windows that face one another.
