Peeper

“I’m a fan of people caught naked who don’t intend to be.”

So says Sebek in his rule 34 suggestion. And I gotta tell you, Sebek, I’ve been thinking about this for some time now. Whenever I read that sentence, I picture the old Benny Hill skits where some poor woman’s clothes suddenly fly off her body and she’s left standing there in her underwear. I mean, who finds themselves abruptly naked without first consciously deciding to remove their clothes? Besides Prince Freddy, I mean.

Or perhaps we’ll take a lesson in English grammar from Professor Ckazaal and assume you mean you’re a fan of naked people who don’t intend to be seen by others. Ah, well, then we’re into voyeurism, yes? You filthy pervert, you. I LOVE IT.

And you’re certainly not alone in your interest, Sebek. The Internet is chock-full of such things, and they run the gamut. Here a voyeur is featured as a story element in a finely-crafted movie plot. And there are an abundance of up-skirt and up-kilt pics out there. Of course, most hidden camera clips are obviously  faked, but occasionally you’ll find something that might make you wonder a little.

And honestly, voyeurism tickles my moral conscience a bit and I’m forced to consider the ethics of such acts. (I know, I know. Mean ol’ Ckazaal always having to contemplate the ETHICS. Can’t we just enjoy our porn without having to THINK about it too much?) But in many countries, voyeurism is classified as a sex crime. And yet we often romanticize the Peeping Tom. Is it a matter of what they don’t know won’t hurt them? Is the essence of the crime in it’s doing, or in being caught at it?

And what of the people who get off on the other side, on being observed in intimate acts? They exist. I know, because I’m one of them. What is blogging but an invitation to observe some part of someone’s life anonymously and surreptitiously? I know you’re out there, watching. I’ll do my best to put on a good show.
