What is voyeurism?

The act of watching others for entertainment purposes.
The desire to watch others having sexual relations or to spy on nude people.
A psychological condition involving intense fears of openness.
A legal term for individuals who engage in public nudity.

The correct answer is: The desire to watch others having sexual relations or to spy on nude people.

Voyeurism is defined as the desire to watch others engaging in sexual activities or to observe individuals unclothed, often without their knowledge or consent. This behavior is typically motivated by sexual gratification and is considered a paraphilic interest. Individuals who exhibit voyeuristic tendencies often derive pleasure from the act of observing others in intimate situations. This definition highlights the sexual and privacy-invading aspects of voyeurism, making it a behavior tied to both psychological motivations and societal norms regarding privacy and consent. The other options do not capture the specific sexual component or the element of non-consensual observation that characterizes voyeurism, thus distinguishing the correct definition from broader or unrelated interpretations of watching others.
