I never, ever thought of myself as a voyeur.
The word never had the right sound to describe my tastes. It wasn't that the word was taboo, it just wasn't me. It had a non-consentual factor that never felt quite right. As soon as I heard the term "consentual voyeur" I immediately knew it was the perfect way to describe this long-time desire of mine. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a consenting voyeur is someone who truly loves, and relishes in, giving lots of attention to an person who enjoys (and consents to) being watched.
To be honest, realizing I was a voyeur seemed like the more challenging side of the exhibitionist/voyeur coin. From what I understood, almost all people loved to watch someone else show off and get off. Exhibitionists were the amazingly confident (and rare) people on Chaturbate who were in the spotlight....voyeurs were the rest of us who watched.
Finding this site changed my perspective entirely. Reading posts and chatting with others made me understand that not all of the people showing off on Chaturbate identify as exhibitionists, just as not everyone watching them identify as voyeurs. It's a fun, passing experience for many people.
When I met a self-identified exhibitionist for the first time, there was this immediate connection. It was that magnetic "aha" moment I can imagine many exhibitionists and voyeurs experience when they meet each other. A complimentary kink connection.
What made it so awesome? Exhibitionists love the attention a true voyeur can give and, like many voyeurs, I had an almost limitless supply of attention to give.
To be honest, even today, I feel a bit nervous when meeting an exhibitionist. It sort of like meeting a unicorn, I can't believe they exist....someone who loves to be watched as much as I love watching. I often worry that asking them to show off and get nude so often might scare them away.
Apparently not!
Just as I can't believe there are people who love being nude and showing off, this exhibitionist explained they were surprised people like me existed - eager to give this attention so fully and deeply. Talk about a kink win-win!
The exhibitionist, who also happened to be a straight man, added that they loved having a voyeur consistently ask/tell them to get nude. This is because 1) its what they want to do all the time, and 2) it gives them permission to live out their kinky desires without worry of offending anyone, and 3) thet can get more into the experience of being watched, admired, and appreciated because they know their voyeur auduence is always eager to see more!
While having this conversation was incredible, we lost touch over time. I still find exhibitionists to be extremely rare and would welcome new exhibitionist friends if they are out there!
I am curious to hear from other voyeurs and exhibitionists....what is it like for you when you connect with someone with a complimentary kink?
