Revision as of 11:14, 6 June 2005 by 217.33.74.20 (talk) (minor edit)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Upskirt is a term used to describe images, enjoyed by voyeurs who like women, showing the view up a female's skirt or dress. There are many websites that promote this as pornography. Taking photographs of someone surreptitiously is an offense in some countries, but in others there are no laws to prevent this. Most people consider this sort of photography to be a form of sexual abuse and an invasion of privacy if it is done without consent.
Some websites use models who get paid to pretend they are upskirt victims, but other such websites feature unaware women without their consent. While some believe these sites are degrading to women and the victims caught on film, the sites are generally considered to be "soft core", because of the nature of this kind of "pornography".
An alternative form of this type of voyeurism are downblouse images - similar to upskirt pornography but with the intent of showing a woman's top half or cleavage.
The advent of cell phones fitted with cameras (aka camera phones) may be reason for a surge in these types of photographs on various websites.
