(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
When done openly it may or may not be appreciated, depending on the other person(s) being exhibitionistic.
Voyeurism is considered a deviant sexual act in most cultures, is most frequently practiced by males, and is tolerated to some degree in certain societies depending upon the circumstances (e.g., adolescent "Peeping Toms").
