IT'S OK PEEPING TOM PERRRRRVERRRRTS. YOU CAN RECEIVE TREATMENT AND CURED OF YOUR TERRIBLE AFFLICTION.

But you first need to accept that you need treatment, and then want treatment.

For treatment to be successful, a voyeur must want to modify existing patterns of behavior. This initial step is difficult for most voyeurs to admit and then take. Most must be compelled to accept treatment. This may often be the result of a court order.

Behavioral therapy is commonly used to try to treat voyeurism. The voyeur must learn to control the impulse to watch non-consenting victims, and just as importanly to acquire more acceptable means of sexual gratification. Outcomes of behavioral therapy are not known. There are no direct drug treatments for voyeurism.

Voyeurism is a criminal act in many jurisdictions. It is usually classified as a misdemeanor. As a result, legal penalties are often minor. The possibility of exposure and embarrassment may deter some voyeurs. It is also not easy to prosecute voyeurs as intent to watch is difficult to prove. In their defense statements, they usually claim that the observation was accidental.

But what I, and we all, want to know is: when did you first become a peeping tom perrrrrverrrrt?

Because according to the same source:
There is no scientific consensus concerning the basis for voyeurism. Most experts attribute the behavior to an initially random or accidental observation of an unsuspecting person who is naked, in the process of disrobing, or engaging in sexual activity. Successive repetitions of the act tend to reinforce and perpetuate the voyeuristic behavior.

...The onset of voyeuristic activity is usually prior to the age of 15 years.

But sadly:
The prognosis for eliminating voyeurism is poor because most voyeurs have no desire to change their pattern of behavior. Since voyeurism involves non-consenting partners and is against the law in many jurisdictions, the possibility of embarrassment may deter some individuals.

Most experts agree that providing guidance regarding behavior that is culturally acceptable will prevent the development of a paraphilia such as voyeurism.

In other words, why are your friends and family not providing you with "guidance regarding behavior that is culturally acceptable" to prevent the development of this terrible affliction?

Unless you haven't told them...

And who else have you watched or are watching?
