What is the appeal of voyeurism? Why is it an undeniable fact that a woman taking her
clothes off at a strip-show is entertaining but unlikely to inspire many erections?
Strange but true. Yet if the same woman crossed her legs on the way home and inadvertently
gave a brief view of her panties most men catching that fleeting glimpse would feel a
distinct stirring of the loins? To take another example - why, on a nudist beach full of
naked women, should the attention of every man in the vicinity be fixed on the attempts of
one, non nudist, woman to change under a towel? I know I've seen it happen. Why should the
chance of a momentary glimpse of nipple, a brief flash of pubic hair be more exciting than
full frontal nudity? The answer is, of course, that the glimpse of panty as a woman
crosses her legs, the fleeting, unintended exposure of a nipple, is "forbidden
fruit"; a prize to be treasured all the more for the fact that it was given without
consent. The stripper and the female nudist give consent for men to look at their bodies -
the woman who displays her panties by accident does not.
So a simple definition of voyeurism is "looking without consent". The following
is an attempt to make those "looks" more frequent and better quality.
Voyeurism can be divided into two categories - The "accidental" or "lucky" peep and
the "planned peep."
"Accidental" or "Lucky" Peeping
This is the sort of peeping we all do every day - the glimpse down the top of a blouse,
the sighting through a partly-open changing room door. It relies a lot on luck, but as a
famous golfer once said: "The more I practice, the luckier I get!" So how can
you increase your chances?
"Looking, always looking"
It may be obvious but the more you look, the more you see - and the more you put yourself
in good "peeping positions" the better the chances of a result. Every time I go
to the bank to cash a cheque- (and I always go INTO the bank - a cash dispenser may be
quick and efficient but until machines grow breasts the real live teller has the advantage
every time!) - I always try and pick the till which has the female cashier with the lowest
neckline. Turning around to get the notes from the till, leaning forward to pass the money
over - they all provide the chance that the top of her blouse may gape a little and if you
are in the right place at the right time...
SHOPS. You go into shops? Of course you do, everybody does. Shops have some major
attractions for the dedicated peeper:-
While many women are now wearing jeans, slacks, leggings etc. (the worst thing in the
world for peeping) the average shop assistant is still obliged to wear a skirt and blouse
(often fairly low-cut) . They also spend a lot of time crouching down, bending over, even
climbing ladders. Any woman doing all these things while wearing a skirt and a low-necked
blouse is eventually going to show more than she intends. She's squatting down to fill a
low shelf - you are positioned in front of her ready for the moment when her knees drift
apart aren't you? She's up a ladder - isn't there something you need to examine on the
shelf below? By the way... for some reason I've seen more "panties per visit" in
Woolworth's than in any other store while the buttons on the blouses of Marks and Spencer
assistants often seem to be too small for the button holes. Several good views in this
store of aureola and inner curve of the breast through an unbuttoned gap. Once again,
increase your chances by choosing the checkout where the assistant is wearing her blouse
with a couple of buttons undone. Not the one wearing the high necked sweater under her
uniform.
Some shops might have been designed with the voyeur in mind. Some clothes stores still
have those changing cubicles which have only a thin curtain to serve as a door - and they
never quite stretch all the way across do they? A hint - hold a couple of garments in your
hand and look as if you are waiting for your companion to emerge from the changing room.
I've seen bare breasts, bare buttocks and endless numbers of women dressed only in their
bra and panties. Shoe shops are perhaps the pantie-spotters idea of heaven! The
combination of a woman sitting on a chair constantly lifting her feet to put on and take
off shoes and a wealth (if you're lucky!) of low-placed, angled mirrors mean that it is a
poor day if you don't get a view of at least one pair of panties every five minutes or so.
THE BEACH gives plenty of opportunities as well - lots of women taking their clothes off
while trying to maintain their modesty armed only with a towel. A pair of mirror-lens
sunglasses give you the means to have a good long look while your attention appears to be
directed elsewhere. I spotted a lovely shaved pussy last summer and countless breasts.
SPORTING EVENTS are also good venues for the keen peeper. The sort of temporary grandstand
erected at race-courses, motor-racing circuits etc. could have been invented for the
convenience of the voyeur. The way these are laid out - plain, plank-type seating in
steeply banked rows - means that the woman two rows behind will have her crotch level with
your eyes should you chance to turn around. Mirror sunglasses come into their own yet
again as you pretend to scan the upper levels for some imaginary companion while actually
taking in the upskirt views. Walking along the front of the grandstands at last year's
British Grand Prix at Silverstone produced a wealth of pantie sightings.
WOMEN ON BIKES are worth watching. The effect of the airflow generated by forward movement
on a billowing skirt or a low-necked top can be very revealing. The action of pedaling is
a so very helpful to the watching voyeur. Look at the woman's "straight" leg as
the pedal reaches the bottom of it's travel and you will sometimes see a substantial
amount of inner thigh being exhibited. Of course, she needs to be wearing a skirt but I
well remember sitting at traffic lights a year or so back and being treated to a great
view of stocking top and suspender by a lady cyclist alongside.
FAIRGROUNDS & THEME PARKS give lots of upskirt opportunities. Quite often you will
find pairs of short-skirted girls climbing on board the 'whirly' type rides or ferris
wheels - they get strapped in and then sit there for minutes waiting for the ride to
commence. It is almost impossible for them to cross their legs in this situation. Once the
ride starts they forget everything else and those legs tend to part ... and the motion of
the air does the rest. With good positioning on the ground you can see upskirts every
second or two on each revolution of the ride. Now, a camera is quite acceptable in this
environment and the best time to get the shot is at the end of the ride when it is slowing
down. And then as long as you are in the correct position when it finally stops you nearly
always get a good view when the girls get off the ride. I remember a group of young
Japanese tourists on a big wheel in Paris a few years ago - all wearing mini-skirts. As
the wheel revolved they passed by my eyes in threes, legs apart and panties on display -
pink, white, blue, patterned, plain - it was a lovely sight.
PARKS & OPEN SPACES are a voyeurs "happy hunting ground" during the summer.
The most modest way for a woman to sit on the grass is with her legs straight out in front
of her and her ankles together. Luckily this is neither natural or comfortable and soon
she will be getting into a more relaxing - and revealing - position. This usually means
either bringing one or both of her knees up towards her chin or crossing her legs under
her. The first pose often gives a view up the skirt, especially the backs of the thighs
and, if you are lucky, the crotch of her panties. "Knees together - feet apart"
is the classic position and one which has given me many good sightings. The
"cross-legged" pose, with the heels tucked against the buttocks (remember the
front row of the school photograph) can provide some amazing "full crotch" views
but most women are only too aware of this possibility and will take care to push their
skirt down between their legs. Landscaping helps enormously and if you can spot a woman
sitting in either of these positions halfway up a bank and you can walk along the path at
the bottom or, better still, lie out on the bank below her, you may well find your eyes at
the ideal level for a look up her skirt. If you like women in uniform try a walk through
the grounds of any big hospital. Nurses on their lunch-break can provide the dedicated
voyeur with a feast of dark nylon and white cotton! For those who work in or visit London,
try an hour at the plaza opposite Fenchurch Street Station where city workers congregate
on hot days - the area is surrounded by bars etc. Due to the tall buildings in the
vicinity a number of interesting air currents are generated ... and there are literally
hundreds of short-skirted beauties scurrying around. One lucky voyeur who works in the
area reports that, "on average it is possible to view an upskirt once every fifteen
minutes in this area." Well worth a look!
Peeping Aids
No, not a disease peculiar to voyeurs but things you can use to increase your chances.
Often all you need are a few everyday
"props" to ensure that your peeping goes un-noticed:
Sun glasses. Preferably the "mirror" type. They effectively hide which way
your gaze is directed. You can appear to be gazing into the distance while actually
staring down the front of a woman's blouse. Especially useful - and unremarkable - on the
beach
A newspaper or magazine. Another very effective method of camouflage. I once sat in a
dentist's waiting room and took my mind off the forthcoming ordeal by studying the young
woman sitting opposite me. She was unaware that her slightly open-legged pose, combined
with the bagginess of her shorts, had inadvertantly revealed not only her tight, pink
panties but also a tantalising glimpse of dark pubic hair escaping from the elastic at the
leghole. I held a magazine in front of my face but was looking out from underneath it at
this alluring - and arousing - sight. Because she couldn't see my face she was totally
oblivious to my interest and I got almost five minutes of heaven before she was called
into the surgery.
Garments to Look For
I mentioned that low necked blouses and skirts are what the
experienced peeper looks for but, of course, the recent popularity of the baggy,
sleeveless T-shirt is perhaps the best news of all for "boob-men". This gives
the possibility of a peep not only down the top of the garment but, best of all, a
"sideways view" through the gaping armhole. When worn without a bra, this
results in "full breast" views being possible - and all at a discreet sideways
glance. Supermarkets are great for this - lots of bending over freezers, leaning
forward to put stuff into the trolley etc. Once you have identified a likely subject,
position yourself to one side of her and slightly behind and when she leans across to put
her groceries into her trolley - bingo! Perversely it is women with smaller breasts that
give the best view as there is more of a gap between nipple and T-shirt. Better endowed
women fill their tops better although I've had some nice "under-curve"
sightings. Several small-busted women have given me some excellent displays of erect
nipples - one had a top so loose that I could look into the armhole and see both her tits
at once, it was almost as if she was totally topless.
Some general observations
Slim women with small breasts are likely to show more and are good for "breast
sightings" - either "down the front" neckline views or "side-on"
armhole views - because their breasts are higher and, when a blouse or top falls forward,
their tits stay where they are and you can look into the gap created. Brassieres will
spoil the view - especially from the side - but check for the outline of straps and if she
seems to be bra-less your chances of a good view are greatly enhanced. Small busted women
are also more likely to go "unsupported" than their bigger breasted sisters.
Larger women find it difficult to keep their legs together when they squat down and are
best for "pantie sightings" - look for the plump supermarket assistant squatting
down to clear up a spillage or load the bottom shelf. Plump thighs are harder to keep
together and I've seen plenty of panties in this situation. One voyeur sees up the skirt
of an assistant in his local "Waitrose" almost every other week - and she wears
stockings too!!
The older they get, the more careless they get. Women of 50+ are much more likely to
sit with their legs apart. (NB - since writing this I got lucky with a woman of just that
age who was sitting on a low wall by a bus-stop. A great view, up a knee-length red dress,
of stocking tops, thighs and pale blue panties - all because she was sitting with her
knees higher than her bottom and her feet apart. She had her dress pulled modestly down
over her knees and was quite unaware that I could see up underneath it. The bus didn't
arrive for about 10 minutes!!)
Dresses usually catch the wind better than skirts and the view when a dress blows up is
a voyeurs dream. A hot summer day with a stiff breeze means light, floaty dresses and the
ever-present chance of one of those women suddenly looking like Marilyn Monroe when she
stood over that air vent! One sighting I will remember for a long time happened this summer
when a sudden gust of wind lifted the dress of a plump 40'ish woman sitting on the back of
a Volvo estate car. Because she was sitting with one leg tucked under her and passing
things to a woman sitting on the back seat (they were having a picnic) she was unable to
push her dress down for some seconds. It had blown right up around her neck, uncovering
her right up to the waist and I was rewarded with a superb view. Her large, floral
patterned briefs were totally exposed and between plump, wide-spread thighs I could see
the bulge of her pussy and even make out the dark shadow of her pubic hair through the
tightly stretched material - beautiful!
Light summer dresses become see-through when the light is behind them - just ask the late
Princess Diana! Almost as good as an upskirt view.
Surprisingly, long skirts can sometimes give better views than short ones. A woman in a
mini-skirt sitting on the grass in the classic "knees up and together, feet
apart" position will probably be aware that she could show her panties and will often
hold her skirt against her. A short, tight skirt will cling to the back of her thighs
anyway, blocking the view. A woman in a "below the knee", loose skirt, on the
other hand, will often assume that the length of her skirt means that she is safely
covered. Of course, although the front of her legs may be covered to below her knees,
the back of her skirt will be on the grass and the back of her legs - often right up to
her panties - will be on view.
Women pushing babies/young children in strollers etc have to bend down a lot. A
small-breasted women in a loose top and a short skirt pushing a stroller is worth watching
for a few minutes. Sooner or later she's going to bend over and it should be a good view.
One young mum in her mid 20's unwittingly gave me just such a treat recently. As she bent
forward to secure her child I got a good long look down her top (no bra, very small
breasts with pert nipples) and then, as an added bonus, a fleeting flash of her panties
(white) as she squatted alongside the stroller a few seconds later.
"Planned Peeping."
None of the activities in the earlier part of this guide could be construed as illegal, but now we
enter the murkier waters of "planned peeping" where the voyeur sets up the
situation. Here we may be taking a few risks with the law, but intent would have to be
proved.
Equipment
Anyone can buy "peeping equipment" quite legally. The fact that you don't intend
to go bird watching with your new binoculars or study astronomy with your recently
purchased telescope is no-one's business but your own. So a brief description of what's
available.
Telescopes
These range from ordinary "spotter" scopes with a magnification of up to x30 to
large astronomy 'scopes with magnifications in excess of x1000. The spotter type is ample
for spying on, say, the bedroom window of the house across the street and a reasonable
quality one with zoom feature and tripod (vital unless you have incredibly steady hands)
should cost no more than 150 pounds. The larger, astronomy 'scopes enable you not only to
watch a woman over a mile away remove her brassiere but also enable you to see what size
she takes by reading the label! Many of them will also enable you to capture the moment on
film as they have the facility to attach a camera without interfering with your view.
Unfortunately they often display the image upside-down and, in many cases, cost a lot of
money. They are useless for peeping at anyone less than 400 yards away - you'll get a
great close-up view of her nipple but you'll never get a whole breast in view at one time
because the magnification is just too great.
For "countryside peeping", though, they can be excellent. If the nearest house
is half a mile away she's unlikely to pull the curtains every night - and if you happen
to live in the nearest house...
Astronomy 'scopes are also ideal if you live near lots of high-rise blocks and want to see
into the windows of apartments half a mile away.
Binoculars
These are available to suit all budgets - the more you pay the better the quality. Go for
a reasonable magnification - x10 or x12 is ideal - and look for ones that can be mounted
on a tripod. A tripod is a must - it keeps the binoculars steady (leaving your hands free
for other things!!) and it means you can leave the binoculars aimed at your target for
hours on end. A "zoom" facility is very useful - cover the whole house with the
smaller magnification and then zoom in to concentrate on the interesting window - close in
on the woman as she undresses - close right in on her breasts as she removes her brassiere
etc. A pair which will "zoom" from 7x to 25x can cost as little as 90 pounds.
Binoculars also give a 3D image, unlike the flat image of a telescope. Night vision
binoculars are now available. They are *very* expensive and only for the dedicated (and
rich!) peeper.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to get results. I once lived in a house that
overlooked the back of a hotel which was some 100 yards away. It is a strange fact that
women seem to think that once they are above the second floor they no longer need to draw
the curtains before undressing - they seem to be unaware of the existence of telescopes or
binoculars. Anyway, most of the rooms at the back of the hotel were given over to staff
quarters for chambermaids etc. During one summer season I saw countless women, mainly in
their late teens and early twenties, stripping off without a care and, on one memorable
occasion, I watched as one young lady bent naked over a chair while her boyfriend gave her
an energetic screwing from behind. All this through a secondhand telescope bought for
twenty pounds from a local second-hand shop. Be aware that there is a world of difference
between "happening" to focus on a distant window from the seclusion of ones own
home and roaming the streets at night with a pair of binoculars hung around your neck! If
you are peeping from home make sure you keep the lights in your room turned off and the
binoculars/telescope well back from the window. That way there is very little chance of
anyone spotting you.
Cameras
Mirror lenses are available which give incredible detail and make things up to 200 yards
away seem as if they are close up. These lenses cost an arm and a leg. If you are that
keen - and that wealthy - let me know what sort of results you get!
Mirrors
A small hand-mirror can be used to look up skirts, especially on elevators. Superdrug
sells a credit card sized mirror for 99p.
A voyeur describes the technique he employs with it:-
I put the mirror in one of the credit card pockets in my wallet. It is held snugly
so that when the wallet is closed the mirror is hidden but when it is opened there is the
mirror. I then slide a credit card over the mirror. I am now ready to go pantie spotting.
In the town where I live there are several stores that have escalators and I have now got
my peeping down to a fine art. First I find an "up" escalator that is not
overlooked by the corresponding "down" escalator. Three stores have these and my
local branch of Boots has an escalator that is just perfect - steep (so I'm at just the
right distance below the woman whose skirt I want to look up) , slow (so I've got plenty
of "peeping time") and boxed in (so it is unlikely that anyone will see what I'm
doing) . I wait near the bottom of the escalator (but not *too* near) until a suitable
subject appears. I have found that the best results are either with very short skirts
(rare midweek when I do most of my peeping) or any skirt that is wide at the bottom. A
tight skirt is useless but, as long as the skirt is hanging clear of the back of her legs
by a few inches or if her feet are at least 12" apart I am likely to get a good
view."
As soon as a promising subject appears I get on the elevator behind her
- after making sure that there is not gooing to be anyone getting on too soon behind me. I
find that it is best to stand not on the step immediately below her but the one two steps
down. After making sure that she is not looking back or down (most women are gazing
upwards towards the top of the escalator) I check that the elevator is empty behind me.
Then I open my wallet and slip the credit card out, uncovering the mirror. Then I put the
card on the step between us (the one immediately below the one she is standing on) . Now,
if she looks round, I can pretend to be picking up my dropped card.
With a short skirt, it
is usually only necessary to hold the wallet slightly forward to see right up to her
panties because of the difference in levels between us.
I divide the journey
up into quarters. The first quarter is spent checking that no-one is too close behind me
(my body masks what I'm doing to anyone more than a few yards away) and that my subject is
not looking back at me. The next two quarters (usually about 15 seconds) are spent looking
up the woman's skirt and the last few seconds as we approach the top are when I retrieve
the card and put it back in the wallet.
The first woman I tried this on was
about 50 and wearing a skirt which came down to about 6" above her ankles. I
pretended to be picking up my credit card. Her feet were about 18" apart and I
managed to get the wallet (and the mirror) right between her feet and by angling the
mirror I had a view up between her open legs almost at once. I was amazed that it was so
easy! I could see her panties (they were cream) and see that they had ridden up slightly
between her cheeks. She was bare-legged. Since then I've seen scores of panties but I live
in hope of finding a woman without any on - it hasn't happened yet! I've seen quite a lot
of pubes though.
A long black skirt is usually a waste of time because it is too dark up
there to get a good view. Luckily the current fashion is for lighter materials so there is
usually more than enough illumination - especially as the mirror often reflects light from
the store's overhead lighting up between the woman's legs.
Middle aged women sometimes wear very interesting undies - I've seen tiny
g-strings on a couple of very respectable looking ladies in their 40's and most of my
sightings of stocking-tops have been with older ladies although I saw a nice pair of
hold-ups on a teenage girl. I never spend too long in one store. I pretend to
be waiting for someone and then, when a likely woman appears, I follow her up one floor
and then repeat the "waiting for my wife" routine near the next elevator until
another woman presents herself. In this way I can get up to 5 pantie shows each time
(there are 6 floors in the store) although I sometimes follow a particularly attractive
woman up 2 or 3 floors, getting long looks up her skirt between each one. I have got
pretty good at spotting the women who will give me the best chance of a good view and I
reckon on about a 50% success rate. I then descend using the lift before repeating the
exercise. Then I go to another store and do it all over again. Using this method once a
week for an hour I see up about 15-20 skirts every week.
This is a brilliant method of peeping. I've tried it out and it works really
well. But you have to be careful of in-store cameras and security. I've
also used it at a bus-stop. A woman of about 30 with a baby in a buggy was standing
waiting for a bus. She was bent forward over the buggy and her denim skirt was sticking
out at the back. I knelt down pretending to re-tie my shoe lace and put the wallet open on
the ground behind her. Even though the mirror was 2' behind her I got a good, long look at
her panties. They had ridden up a bit and I could see the bottom curve of her bum cheeks.
She never even noticed I was there. I also tried it with a woman in a crowded lift. I was
standing against the back wall and she was right in front of me. Her skirt was very short
and I slipped my wallet out of my pocket, opened it and held it below the hem. I got a
quick look up it at her white panties before the lift reached the next floor.
An even riskier ploy has been reported by another voyeur. He put a small hand-mirror on
the floor by a photocopier and covered it with his foot. When a young woman came to use
the machine he slid it carefully into position just behind her feet and then took his foot
away. He reports that it was as if he was lying on the floor looking up under her skirt
and he got a terrific view of burgundy panties. One strictly for those who get their kicks
from taking risks!
Places
As already mentioned, it is a strange phenomenon that women will pull the curtains while
getting undressed while on the ground floor or even two or three floors up. However, once
they are in a high-rise apartment block or hotel they seem to think that they are immune
from prying eyes. Oh, by the way, no-one ever looks up either - I once spent a happy afternoon
sitting on top of a cliff watching women below changing into their swimsuits behind a row
of huts. They checked left and right but they never once glanced upwards to where the
"bird watcher" sat with his binoculars) . So, look for high rise buildings -
University halls of residence, nurses accommodation etc. As already mentioned, hotels are
another good venue. I once found that the window of my own hotel room looked into the
window of the room opposite where a middle-aged woman was wandering around totally naked,
and completely oblivious to the show she was giving. The hotel was built in a
"U" shape and the window in question was about 50 feet away. I've stayed there
several times since but nowadays I take my binoculars with me. I'm not giving the name of
the hotel but it's near an airport and from any of the rooms on the top floor you can see
into about 40 rooms. They all have net curtains and at night, with the room lights on,
these become transparent - a fact that seems not to occur to most of the people staying
there. One voyeur has sent in this list of "Top UK Peeping Hotels"
The Strand - London
Terrible hotel but the rooms are built in 2 square patterns. If you can get a room on one
of the higher floors you have perfect views into 20+ rooms. During the summer the hotel is
full of Europeans who do not seem to understand the concept of curtains ;-) .
The Waldorf - London
Rooms on the left side of the building face the back of one of Londons many theatres. If
you get a room high enough in summer you can see directly into the womens dressing rooms
(the windows are usually open in warm weather) .
The Sheraton - Edinburgh
The hotel is an L-shape. I usually ask for a room above the car-park (i.e. on the inside
of the L) as this is quieter than the other side, this gives you a good view into several
rooms.
The Copthorne - Newcastle
A pair of fairly high powered bino's are needed but there is a tower block across the
river. Also a walk across the back of the hotel (i.e. on the river bank) can occasionally
reward you with some interesting sights.
Peeping Heaven
In the last ten years the best news for the dedicated UK voyeur has been the emergence of
the "Leisure Pool" - a swimming pool aimed at the family rather than the
competition swimmer. These pools often have communal changing rooms - individual cubicles
which are not designated "male" or "female" but are for use by either
sex. This, of course, means that you can be getting changed in one cubicle while a woman
is changing in the one next door and the only thing separating you is a half-inch thick
partition. Human nature being what it is, there is often a small hole drilled in that
partition. I have been to 5 pools where there have been such spyholes and they are a
voyeurs paradise!
Over the 10 years since I discovered the first such place I have seen countless females,
from teenagers to grannies, strip off, display their charms and do even more interesting
things. People lose all inhibitions when they think no-one is watching - one of the major
appeals of voyeurism. I have seen five couples have sex and watched three females
masturbate (two were teenagers and the other, surprisingly, was a woman who must have been
at least 60 years old)
I've never had to drill a hole - someone has always been there before me - so I am
probably acting (just) within the law. Once again, I'm not revealing where these pools are
(I have managed to find them all over the UK so there must be hundreds like them) If
anyone knows of one such near them perhaps they would like to report on their own
experiences. Suffice to say that anyone living in the North East of England has 3 within
travelling distance.
Just a few ideas for the enthusiastic peeper. I have not even mentioned the hundreds of
other opportunities for "upskirt" views - I have a shopping centre near my home
which is built on 3 levels and I never have to stand near the open-plan staircase for more
than 5 minutes before I am treated to a view of some woman's panties (Good to see hold-up
stockings getting more common!) , and, of course, escalators are another classic place to
peep up skirts - even without the aid of a mirror!. The return of the mini-skirt has made
staircases and escalators exciting places to visit for the keen "upskirt
enthusiast."
Legal Notes
It is mainly a matter of proof and intent if you are caught. For example, someone catching
sight of a peephole in a changing room and looking through it would be very unlikely to be
prosecuted. If, however, he was found to be in possession of a drill at the time then
prosecution under the Public Order Act (UK) would be likely.
Likewise, if a woman's skirt blows up around her neck it may be impolite (and extremely
arousing) to have a good look at her panties but it isn't illegal - she might be annoyed
but she can't prosecute. Walk up to her and lift her skirt up and you'll be meeting the
boys in blue in very short order!
Cameras, both video and 35mm, have one major disadvantage - the photo or tape you have
gone to so much trouble to get will also provide exhibit A if you get caught. I don't need
a camera - I can still see in perfect detail the pattern of blue and pink flowers on the
panties of the woman in the Volvo, the way her stomach swelled over the elastic at the
top. It's all locked away in my memory and it's a memory which never fails to turn me on.
Pointing a camera up a woman's skirt would be an offence under the Public Order Act (UK)
and would probably result in a fine and/or conditional discharge. It would have to be
proved to be a deliberate act - simply panning across a crowd and "accidentally"
getting a shot of a woman with her legs apart would not be an offence but being observed
standing under a stairwell and pointing the camera up women's skirts would almost
certainly result in a prosecution.
As soon as you make contact (lifting a woman's skirt for example) it could be seen as
indecent assault for which the punishment is much more severe. But, as a voyeur, your
pleasure comes from the sighting - you don't need to even let her know that you've seen
her panties - and with practice you can see something exciting every day without anyone
else being aware of your "hobby" so this section will, hopefully, be irrelevant.
