Exhibitionism and Voyeurism - 4/7/09

[12:14] Pirate Russell: Ok, please take all cross talk to IM, and all collar, etc commands to the secondary channels!
[12:14] Pirate Russell: Welcome to House of V's College of Kink! As most of y'all know, My name is Pirate Russell, Head Mistress of the College, and today's instructor.
[12:14] Pirate Russell: I have been in SL for 3 years and I've been a lesbian Domme, the entire time.
[12:15] Pirate Russell: For any that need to leave early, all transcripts can be found at http://collegeofkink.blogspot.com
[12:15] Pirate Russell: Today's subject is Exhibitionism and Voyeurism
[12:16] Pirate Russell: EXHIBITIONISM
[12:16] Pirate Russell: Any that will, please sleep your Mysti's radars, etc, that adds to the horrific lag around here, thanx
[12:16] Pirate Russell: The classical definition of Exhibitionism, known variously as flashing, apodysophilia and Lady Godiva syndrome, is the psychological need and pattern of behavior
[12:16] ***SF***: misty sleeping
[12:17] Pirate Russell: involving the exposure of parts of the body to another person with a tendency toward an extravagant, usually at least partially sexually inspired behavior
[12:17] Pirate Russell: to attract the attention of another in an open display of bare "private parts" — i.e., parts of the human body which would otherwise be left covered under clothing in nearly all other cultural circumstances
[12:17] Pirate Russell: Although neither a valid nor a reliable study, one research team asked a sample of 185 exhibitionists,
[12:18] Pirate Russell: “How would you have preferred a person to react if you were to expose your privates to him or her?”
[12:18] Pirate Russell: The most common response was “Would want to have sexual intercourse” (35.1%)
[12:18] Pirate Russell: "No reaction necessary at all” (19.5%)
[12:18] Pirate Russell: “To show their privates also” (15.1%)
[12:18] Pirate Russell: “Admiration” (14.1%)
[12:19] Pirate Russell: “Any reaction” (11.9%)
[12:19] Pirate Russell: “Anger and disgust” (3.8%)
[12:19] ***pA*** purrs
[12:19] ***pA***'s translator: / me purrs
[12:19] Pirate Russell: “Fear” (0.5)
[12:19] Pirate Russell: Various types of behavior is classified as exhibitionistic. These include:
[12:19] Pirate Russell: * Flashing is the display by a woman of bare breasts with an up-and-down lifting of the shirt and/or bra, or the display by a man of his bare penis.
[12:19] Pirate Russell: * Mooning is the display of one's bare buttocks — both in a sexual, exhibitionistic context (almost always by females) and also when done (usually by men) for shock value. In Australia and New Zealand this is sometimes known as a browneye.
[12:20] Pirate Russell: * Anasyrma is lifting up of one's skirt to expose bare genitals, for varied reasons, but most often to please the exhibitionist.
[12:20] Pirate Russell: Classically, the part(s) of the body exposed when referring to "flashing" are bare female breasts and/or buttocks. In reality, however, flashing and exhibitionism more often involve the genitalia or buttocks of either gender.
[12:21] Pirate Russell: A "male flasher" stands in stark comparison to this definition as the latter usually refers to a male indecently exposing his penis to an unwilling observer.
[12:21] Pirate Russell: Women typically do not suffer such societal sanctions and are usually encouraged, even heavily paid, to engage in such behavior.
[12:21] ***KC*** smiles
[12:21] Pirate Russell: Welcome to subbies-gone-wild!
[12:21] ***SF***: luckly enough :)
[12:21] Pirate Russell: Again, the classical and rigid concept paints with a broad brush and states, "Flashing is done as a momentary "thrill" to inflate the ego of the flasher while having the 'added bonus' of increasing the sexual arousal of the recipient(s)."
[12:22] Pirate Russell: These stereotypical thought patterns include unproved beliefs that exhibitionists who view exhibitionism as a lifestyle as opposed to a rare thrill,
[12:22] Pirate Russell: however, more carefully select their target audience and make the exposure brief, inconspicuous and apparently unintentional.
[12:23] Pirate Russell: Some researchers invalidly postulate that all exhibitionism is, whether on the end of the giver or the receiver, ultimately a sexual fetish, many practitioners see it as an art form.
[12:23] Pirate Russell: Far less criticized are night clubs and goth bars that encourage mild exhibitionism to enhance the venue's atmosphere. This all contrasts with non-sexualized social nudity, in which the exposure is not connected with sexual expression,
[12:24] Pirate Russell: such as sunbathing or swimming at nude beaches or other participation in public nudity events where nudity is the norm. In short, the classical view of exhibitionism misses the mark by a wider margin than erroneous scientific claims about homosexuality.
[12:24] Pirate Russell: Accordingly, points must be made that define the differences between rational and irrational exhibitionism.
[12:24] Pirate Russell: *Rational exhibitionists display themselves sexually to other people, singly or in groups, in appropriate settings. This can be done consensually as part of swinging or group sex.
[12:25] Pirate Russell: When not done threateningly, the intent is usually to please and sexually arouse the viewer, giving the recipient an erotic rush.
[12:25] Pirate Russell: *Irrational exhibitionists like to expose themselves in front of large crowds, typically at sporting events or streaking.
[12:25] Pirate Russell: Hey, that's Me!!!!
[12:25] Pirate Russell: A similar irrational phenomenon is when, at the conclusion of a sporting event, a woman may flash her breasts while sitting atop someone's shoulders in a dense crowd of people.
[12:25] ***MV*** grins
[12:25] Pirate Russell: Rational and irrational exhibitionists like to use the internet to distribute their stories and pictures on websites, sometimes using webcam feeds and other amateur methods.
[12:26] ***BH*** giggles
[12:26] Pirate Russell: As a major distinction, irrational exhibitionists attempt to sexually arouse the recipient by giving the impression that the exposure is "first time" and/or "innocent."
[12:26] Pirate Russell: Rational exhibitionists, instead, require an invitation from the recipient.
[12:26] Pirate Russell: Irrational exhibitionists typically lack this type of self control.
[12:27] Pirate Russell: Exhibitionistic behavior does not necessarily imply alterations of the psychiatric condition of the average, everyday individual, unless the individual does such actions compulsively
[12:27] Pirate Russell: in an effort to grab the attention s/he feels entitled to yet does not get in other aspects of life
[12:27] Pirate Russell: In psychiatry, exhibitionism is only considered a paraphilia once the practice begins to interfere with the quality of life or normal functioning capacity of the individual.
[12:28] Pirate Russell: However, if the exposing individual shows an aggressive or criminal behavior, that is indecent exposure and is a separate phenomenon from exhibitionism and flashing.
[12:28] Pirate Russell: VOYEURISM
[12:29] Pirate Russell: Voyeurism is the sexual interest in spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or urinating.
[12:29] Pirate Russell: In some cultures, voyeurism is considered to be deviant and even a sex crime. In the United Kingdom, non-consensual voyeurism became a criminal offense.
[12:29] Pirate Russell: However, some societies tolerate it depending upon the circumstances (e.g., adolescent "Peeping Toms" and the UK dogging craze). The stereotypical voyeur is male, although many women also enjoy being voyeurs.
[12:30] Pirate Russell raises Her hand, again!
[12:30] Pirate Russell: In the United States, video voyeurism is criminalized in nine states. The original case responsible for the criminalization has been made into a television movie called Video Voyeur and documents the criminalization of secret photography.
[12:30] Pirate Russell: Criminal voyeurism statutes are related to invasion of privacy laws but are specific to unlawful surreptitious surveillance without consent and unlawful recordings
[12:30] Pirate Russell: including the broadcast, dissemination, publication, or selling of recordings involving places and times when a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a reasonable supposition that he or she is not being photographed
[12:31] Pirate Russell: or filmed by "any mechanical, digital or electronic viewing device, camera or any other instrument capable of recording, storing or transmitting visual images that can be utilized to observe a person."
[12:31] Pirate Russell: While some think Voyeurism is a crime, or a perversion, some of us think it's just fun!
