As the great Peter Sellers said in "Being There," I like to watch – specifically, female masturbation. Now, I consider myself a decent, upstanding guy and would never resort to peeping-tomfoolery (unless you count the video files I find online). But, women of the world, be warned – if anyone ever invents an invisibility formula and I can afford it, you just might have an uninvited spectator when you have your next orgasm! :::maniacal laughter:::

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I like to be watched. Somethimes I go around in public with nothing on but a paper bag with two holes cut for eyes, and masturbate. Just the thought of someone looking at me do my business turns me on so much. So far I have not gotten in trouble with the law.

I definitely don't like the idea of being watched, although it's exciting if there's a slight chance I might get caught masturbating. I'd say I'm more of a voyeur due to an incredibly hot experience I had once spying (by accident) on my brother and his friend masturbating each other. I had planned to hide and startle them, but when they started doing each other, I just stayed quiet and watched.

I definitely like to watch. I don't usually want to get involved, but I do like to watch. It's a real turn-on. Strange to say, but I don't want others to watch me, unless it's someone I don't know.

I'm a wee bit of both when it comes to masturbation. It really depends on my mood. There are times when nothing turns me on more than having a lover – male or female – watch me pleasure myself. Then there are times when I love to watch my lovers pleasure themselves. Usually, I end up masturbating before they are finished.

I guess I'm an exhibitionist. When I masturbate, just the thought of someone walking in on me gets me excited. One time I discovered my younger brother watching me when he didn't know that I saw him. It made me so horny I decided to give him a show. I made even more noise. It was great!

Today, I think I am more of an exhibitionist. As a teen I was fat, non-athletic, and embarrassed about sex in general. As I grew into young adulthood, I lost weight and became much more interested in fitness. I started running at age 48 and have run 19 marathons to date. As my body image has improved, so have my feelings about sex and the natural part of life that male sexuality entails. I am proud of my body today and not embarrassed to be a man.

I like the feeling of knowing someone is watching me; it has an unexplainable feeling to it. For example, when our maid comes to clean my house, I stay in my room. When I know she's coming to clean my room, I masturbate on my bed. The first time, she caught a fright and walked out – but 5 seconds later she came back in to clean my room, which she only pretended to do. (She was actually watching me.) This led to her masturbating in my room. All in all, I like to be watched more, because it leads to me being a watcher!
- age 14, New York
I like both to watch and to show. I had an ICQ-girlfriend, and we'd both show off our bodies with digital cameras. We'd start by showing our bodies dressed, undressed, and then we ended up doing X-rated stuff. I masturbated in front of my digital camera and to her pictures.
- age 20, the Netherlands
Voyeur! I *love* to watch people, but I'm *quite* shy.
- age 19, Massachusetts (female)
I am extremely self-conscious about people watching me, so I am a voyeur. If a boyfriend ever wants to watch me, I'll change it around to how excited watching him would make me. I've gotten out of a lot of situations like that.
- age 16, Washington (female)
I am much more a voyeur. One time some friends of mine let me watch them have sex. I was slowly masturbating, and when the woman started to climax, so did I – powerfully. That was one of my more memorable sexual experiences. I have not been in many sexual situations of either watching or being watched – that I know of, anyway. I would like to watch two men have sex, but so far, I've had no offers.
- age 29, California (female)
I would say I am more of an exhibitionist. Knowing that someone could be watching is the biggest thrill or rush I could possibly get. Some of my best experiences have been in public where people could have been watching. I try to masturbate in places like these as much as possible. Once I did it at the beach at night, and it was the best ever – amazing to say the least.
- age 17, Australia
I am more of an exhibitionist. I've always wanted to have sex and have someone (preferably a guy) watch and maybe even join in if he wants. I think a lot about doing this, but I've never acted on it.
- age 20, Wisconsin
It's a turn-on to have sex with my girlfriend when our bedroom window shades are open just enough to let passers-by get a peek. Once we saw a guy walk past the window many times just to get an eyeful of our lovemaking. We both have the best sex ever when we know an onlooker sees us in action. My girlfriend and I are thinking about perhaps inviting a couple we know to come over so that we can put on a show they will never forget. (Nor will we!)
- age 44, Wisconsin
Neither. I like my privacy and respect others' as well. But if I were in a sexual relationship, I would not mind doing either of the two; nor would I mind my girlfriend doing either to me.
- age 16, Indiana
The idea of someone watching me while I masturbate is really exciting, but I would probably get embarrassed as hell if someone were to really do so. I do like to go to a secluded place in the hills near my house and strip naked, lie in the back of my truck, and masturbate for about an hour, keeping myself on the verge of climaxing all the while. I often think how great it would be to do this in a public place, but I'm scared to death to try it!
- age 31, Oregon
I'm a little of both. When my friend was at my house and we just finished going swimming, I was changing back into my clothes, and I found myself wanting him to turn around and look at me. And at school, in the bathrooms, I look at the other guys to see if I can catch a glimpse of their penis.
- age 14, California
I would say I'm a lot of both. As a graduate student, I find it pretty easy sometimes to encounter guys masturbating at various public places around campus. I have learned to recognize the signs when another guy is, say, masturbating in the stall next to me, or heading to the shower room for a little stress relief. I really enjoy catching guys masturbating, but I also enjoy being caught masturbating or just being naked with an erection. When I go out of town on weekend road trips, I sometimes look for a public shower or locker area where I can undress in front of a few other guys and pop an erection just to see what reaction I get. In college I also have always lived with a roommate so I can let him peek at me in the morning light while I uncover and stroke. Only one out of many roommates I have had has not been interested in peeking while they pretend to be sleeping.

I tend be a bit of both at times. Most of the time, however, I am more the exhibitionist. Whenever possible, I like to go naked outside in the back late at night, where people could see me if they were out. I may actually be more of a voyeur, but I rarely have any chance to watch anyone else.
- age 16, Missouri
I don't get any kind of charge from being watched in any sexual activity myself. But watching any kind of sex – couples, female solos, or male solos – really gets my juices flowing. Sometimes I believe it is a way to rid myself of the sexual guilt instilled in me as a child. If I can see with my own eyes that other people are enjoying sex, then it must be okay to do it. Most of all, though, I get a tremendous thrill from watching someone have an orgasm. Although I am straight and married, I love to see another man masturbate to an intense orgasm about as much as I enjoy watching a woman. So yes, I am a voyeur!
- age 37, Hawaii
I think it is sick to do either.
- age 21, Pennsylvania
I guess I am a voyeur. I live in a dorm with 600 other guys, and I can catch a good look in the showers just about anytime. I usually masturbate to ejaculation just watching some guy in the showers or masturbating in one of the stalls. It makes great stimulation for later masturbation fantasies.
- age 18, Kansas
I'm in between. I have absolutely no problem being naked in front of anybody, but I'd prefer that the person I'm naked with be naked at the same time. Does that make sense?
- age 12, Massachusetts
I am definitely more of a voyeur. I like to watch my husband masturbate; it's a definite turn-on. I also like him to watch me. However, my watching his performance is best.
- age 52, California (female)
I love to both watch and be watched. I really enjoy putting on a show for my boyfriend while he masturbates with me, but I also like to do it in front of an open window while men and sometimes women watch me. And I like to watch people do it and ask them to join in with me – it makes it more enjoyable knowing you aren't alone.
- age 17, Ireland (female)
This is a private thing, and my wife and I are the only viewers. We masturbate as part of our love experience together. Also, if we feel like it, we allow each other to do so on our own – either on our own time, or while lying next to each other. She may be reading a book or watching TV while I relax on my own. She does this as well. About half the time it leads into other fun activities.
- age 38, New York
I am more of a voyeur. Even though I have no problems masturbating in front of my friends, it's better to see them masturbate. I am a heterosexual male, but something about those situations is a real turn-on to me. If a friend and I are both masturbating and I can see him, my orgasm is far more intense than otherwise.
- age 18, Illinois
I am 80% voyeur and 20% exhibitionist. Like many youngsters, I managed to catch my parents in the act, and since then I have had a strong interest in being a spectator. Many years later I retired and traveled around Australia in a caravan. The park shower blocks usually have gaps under the dividing walls between cubicles. These often have wet floors, and combined with overhead lighting, created a mirror effect that made the activities next door plainly obvious. It was both amusing and arousing to see my activities replicated by *many* men each day. This scene would often start me off, and I am sure it had the same effect on them. Voyeurism and exhibitionism are two sides of the same coin, and I believe a very large percentage of humans have this tendency. It's a normal curiosity.
- age 61, Australia
I guess I am both, because when I masturbate with my friend I like to watch him, but I also like the idea of him watching me masturbate.
- age 14, Kentucky
As much as I have a fetish for watching females masturbate, I must say I am also an exhibitionist. When I was younger I used to do it while riding on any bus, in a small room at the school gym once, and in every forest I ever went to! Even now my computer is next to my sister's room, and I always wonder if she's watching me or listening as I masturbate, or if she even cares. The curious thing is that I've never been sure whether it adds to the excitement. I just look for any chance to show myself off. It feels as if it's unconscious, like a little switch in my brain that works on its own.
- age 18, Costa Rica
I am more a voyeur. I find it very arousing to watch a girl masturbate. But to do it in front of someone I feel a little embarrassed due to my penis size.
- age 17, New Jersey
I'm both. I like to see people having sex, but I also like to expose my penis for others to see. I went a few times to X-rated cinemas, where I started to masturbate in front of a man and a woman at the same time. I really enjoyed that, because they started to masturbate, too!
- age 18, Australia
I am both. On the voyeur side, I watch the couple next door through their bedroom window as they have sex. And I try to catch my roommate masturbating. On the exhibitionist side, I go out into my backyard during daylight with nothing on but briefs or boxer shorts – sometimes while I am aroused. Many of my neighbors can see me there. If someone watches me masturbating or having sex, I don't care. I just finish what I am up to. They can watch if they want.
- age 28, Ontario, Canada
Especially in the summer, I love to go out on my deck in briefs or nothing at all, lie down on a lawn chair, and masturbate. My orgasms always come quickly, and are so intense because I know someone could be watching me. That is the entire reason I do it!
- age 16, New York
I am more of a voyeur. I have seen my neighbor masturbate through his window. Like clockwork, he does it every night in front of his TV. I would like the idea of doing it in front of someone, but only if they were cool with it. Offending a person who isn't up for it doesn't turn me on.
- age 36, Maine
Exhibitionist – it definitely adds to the thrill of it all. I get these tendencies every few weeks, and yes, I do act on them. I've stripped down in my backyard, car, on a hiking trail, and in a parking ramp stairwell. I prefer to be nude so there is more risk involved. Sometimes I used to go for nude midnight walks around the neighborhood. All in all it makes for a thrilling experience and a more intense orgasm.
- age 19, Wisconsin
I'm really neither. However, one time I was visiting my aunt in a large city, and we stayed in a hotel that looked directly into another building. I saw this really hot guy about my age walking around an apartment naked. I immediately decided in a fit of horniness to give him a show. So there I was in the window when he looked up and showed me he had an erection the size of the Empire State Building. I had about two orgasms before he finally ejaculated all over himself. I put my clothes back on while he wiped up with tissues. I never saw him again. That was my one act of voyeurism.
- age 15, New York (female)
I am a voyeur. I have watched my 16-year-old son masturbate beside our pool when he thinks he is alone. Maybe he is the exhibitionist and knows I'm watching. I don't know, but I love to watch.
- age 53, California
I am much more of an exhibitionist. I have shown many people my penis and masturbated in front of them. I attribute my exhibitionism to the fact that I am not self-conscious about my penis size. I have been told it is large, so I'm happy to show it off.
- age 15, Minnesota
I like to watch. I unexpectedly caught my wife masturbating one Sunday. She was using a large dildo and vibrator, and I watched for several minutes. When she finally looked up and saw me, she was very embarrassed! I had an erection like that of a young teenager. Not to worry – I gently removed the dildo and slipped in my own manhood. It was one of the best love sessions we've ever had!
- age 51, Pennsylvania
I usually watch. I am not interesting at all.
