Lady Godiva was an 11th century noblewoman who was against her husband’s plan of imposing heavy taxes on the people of Coventry, England.
As a sign of protest, she rode naked through the market place. This prompted her husband, Leofric, the earl of Mercia, to abandon all taxes except those on horses.
While Godiva paraded around town in all her naked glory, her husband ordered the people to shut their windows and doors so they couldn't see her. Those who did were threatened with severe punishment.
A tailor named Tom, however, couldn't resist the temptation and peeped through the shutters of his window. He was caught and blinded.
The word "Peeping Tom" was derived from that incident. It is another name for voyeurism, a sexual aberration in which a person derives satisfaction from looking at naked people or couples making love.
“Voyeurism is a disorder that involves achieving sexual arousal by observing an unsuspecting and non-consenting person who is undressing or unclothed, and/or engaged in sexual activity. This behavior may conclude with masturbation by the voyeur. The voyeur does not seek sexual contact with the person he is observing,” according to MedicineNet.
All of us are Peeping Toms or voyeurs to certain ex¬tent and this has made the producers of skin flicks filthy rich. Kids are normally interested in their bodies and they like to compare their genitals with those of the opposite sex. At school, boys watch girls and vice versa. All this is an essential part of our sexual maturity.
Voyeurism becomes bad if it becomes a substitute for sex. The real voyeur doesn't get any pleasure from watching pornographic movies or reading books or magazines of the same nature. Instead he prefers looking at other people's genitals in public toilets. He frequently visits parks and movie houses where he can spy on lovers doing their thing.
Others go to the extent of crawling to their neighbor's backyard at midnight, hoping to get a glimpse of naked bodies. The danger of being caught or seen by others arouses voyeurs even more. This is the only way they can get sexual satisfaction.
Most voyeurs are shy, isolated individuals who fear women and doubt their sexual capabilities. Peeping gives them a sense of fulfillment without the risk of being rejected by others.
If voyeurism is the result of emotional immaturity, it can be corrected by psychotherapy. But if it persists, it may be a serious personality disorder that is difficult to cure.
