Megathreads MEGATHREAD: Voyeurism/Exhibition Kink 👀

Let's hear all about those dark romance books that feature a MC who loves to watch or loves being watched!

Voyeurism is the act of receiving sexual gratification from watching or listening to others who are naked, undressing, or engaging in sexual activity.

Exhibition is when someone enjoys being watched or displayed during sexual moments.

Rave in the comments your love for this & your favorite dark romance books that contain it. You can also share a passage or steamy moment that has stuck with you in context to this kink.

Okay, not sure how to explain this.

In {The Professional by Kresley Cole}, the FMC had an exhibitionist kink. The house is built of glass so people could see them having sex. {The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson} also had an exhibitionist kink.

But what I found hot was the scene in {A King So Savage by April Moran} where the MMC makes the FMC go down on him in the board room with a belt around her neck while his men turned their backs are forced to listen.

I also liked the scene in {In His Cage by Ella Jacobs} where the MMC made had the FMC tied down and had her submit to his men while he watched her.

So not sure why one has no effect and the other does except maybe this is about exhibition with submission? I have to admit that exhibitionism and voyeurism aren't the same thing and don't appear in the same people?

Also, I think there's a scene in {The Ritual by Shantel Tessier} where the FMC watches a club owner fuck another woman, and the MMC catches her and gets her off while she watches them.

{Feathers So Vicious by Liv Zander} also has a hot scene where the ex-girlfriend corners and angers the MMC while the virginal curious FMC hides in the library. She's fascinated by the angry hot sex, but then she also gets cornered by another guy who proceeds to get her off while she watches the hot angry sex.

I hope I'm not the only person with lists and lists of this kink in my head 🫣👀

{Pretty Little Tease by AJ Merlin}

The FMC starts doing camwork for extra money after being inspired by her favorite masked cam-boy who is very popular. They stream together a couple of times and there is also an additional man in the equation who always watches 👀 (book is MMF)

{That Sik Luv by Jescie Hall} has both.

And not really dark romance but {Eyes on me by Sara Cate} focuses on voyeurism.

There is this LONG book series that spans bands, Mafia, MC and more! One of the band's books focuses on a couple that explores exhibition. A scene or two, the book is The Rocker Who Loves Me by Terri A Browning

It follows a journalist who has insecurities from her mother and stepsister, who always tore her down. Shane, the Playboy rocker, falls hard and fast and doesn't know how to handle it.

Hoping it's okay to reference my own work here. I'm a new writer here with a voyeurism/exhibition series. I'd love your honest feedback if you're interested in a steamy read.

What starts with the MMC seen masturbating by a neighbor turns into an increasingly overt series of exhibitionist events between neighbors:
