Voyeurism

Lifestyle Glossary · play-dynamics

Voyeurism in the lifestyle context refers to the consensual enjoyment of watching others engage in sexual activity. Unlike non-consensual voyeurism, which is illegal and harmful, lifestyle voyeurism is a mutually agreed-upon activity where all parties are aware of and comfortable with being observed. Many lifestyle clubs and play parties have designated areas or arrangements for voyeuristic viewing. Voyeurism is a common and accepted part of the lifestyle community and is often paired with exhibitionism — the enjoyment of being watched.
