Voyeurs get their excitement from the possibility of being discovered by someone and will sometimes masturbate while watching. Studies show that nine of 10 voyeurs are heterosexual men. Their choice of whom to watch is not a random act, and they generally seek out women they find attractive. Voyeurs have their preferences of what activities they enjoy viewing as well as what parts of the female body attract them. This condition is difficult to treat and the voyeur must be very motivated to change.
Treatment is similar to the treatment of alcoholism.
It involves knowing what kinds of things inside themselves and in the world make it more likely they will do this activity. The reason treatment is so difficult is because it is nearly impossible to change what turns a person on. What you can change is what they do about the thought after they have it.
