voyeurism

Voyeurism is a psychological condition where an individual derives sexual pleasure from secretly observing others who are unaware they are being watched, often in private or intimate settings. This behavior is considered problematic when it involves non-consenting people, as it infringes on their privacy and can cause harm. Voyeurism is recognized as a disorder when it causes distress to the individual or leads to illegal activities, such as trespassing or invasion of privacy. It is important to understand that consent and respect for others' boundaries are fundamental to healthy relationships and behaviors.
