How has the Internet challenged our current classification system for paraphilias? Is it appropriate to classify someone using an Internet camera to spy on others as a voyeur? How about someone who strips over the Internet?

Paraphilias could be defined as intense se-xual arousal that a person has in response to atypical stimuli such as situations or objects or individuals. It may be experienced through enactment in real life or fantasies or through videos or through games or through role play.

In order to classify someone as voyeur, someone using camera as a spy could be referred to as a voyeur. People use pinhole cameras or other stuff, that are advanced enough, so as to increase the efficiency of spies. Pin hole cameras have become the biggest weapon of these people, which can easily be camouflages. These people fulfil their fantasies by looking at people change or use washroom. Hence, such people could also be classified as voyeur. People stripping over the Internet could also be referred to as voyeurs.
