Although since the times immemorial people gave been struggling for a private life of their own, where no one would dare interfere, people have always felt the urge to take a look at the way the others live. What this phenomenon is derived from is a mystery now. People watch each other to gain the necessary information, and casting a glance plays an important part in the process of socializing. Thus, very close watching a person may be used as a substitution for communication. However, it is impossible to trace the origins of all psychological twists that a man can possess – or, should I say, that repossess a man. Some of the modern psychologists say that this disorder is the result of the mankind development, with all its abnormalities developing just as quickly as its progress. It seems to me that the problem has much deeper routs and that it emerged as soon as the mankind started its development. But still the scale of the problem has turned tremendous only in the twentieth century. The motives of a man behaving in this very way can be explained rather easily, though. As Comer defines it, Yielding voyeurism and assertive exhibitionism are constantly molding the ideas and modes of behavior of a civilized man. The voyeurism is secret, but the secrecy is a matter of psychological orientation and does not mean that the men must remain in ignorance of their feelings. (167) As we can see the problem exposed is a double-sided sword. While voyeurism remains a psychical disorder, it can shape into something that can be considered a minor twist, just weirdness or a fancy passion. In this respect, the disorder can inflame one’s unstable mind and voyeurs can pose a certain threat to the society, as well as to themselves. It is important to bear in mind as well that the phenomenon in question can take two basic shapes. One of them means that the voyeur remains hidden and the victims know nothing about his presence, which is covert scopophilia. The other idea is that the people who are being observed are perfectly aware of this fact and they take it as nothing out of the ordinary. Psychologists call it collusive scopophilia. The latter brings us close to another psychical phenomenon which is called exhibitionism, but that is quite another problem. The aim that a voyeur pursuits is still a mystery. Is it the fear that a voyeur wants to see? Or does he expect the victim to stay unaware of his presence and his intentions? The problem is quite obscure, and the questions remain unsolved. However, it is quite understood that the chief goal of a perverted man is to get the pleasure he wants, so the clue to voyeurism as a psychological phenomenon might be utter egoism and even egocentrism. It should be also born in mind that the border between exhibition as a psychical disorder and a normal situation can be rather thin. Thus, for example, a situation when a baby is looking at the mother’s breast is not to be viewed as abnormal. The Feudist topic suggests that the roots of the problem were the result of a child brought up in a specific way that contributed to the development of the complex. Once being traumatized, perhaps, by the experience of being the victim of th
