Okay, because I wrote a Tosh as a voyeur fic a couple of days ago, I feel as though I should respond. And I will admit to being glib about it as I have a tendency to be with most kinks. Heck, I once even wrote a fic about bondage -- something that I don't understand, much less want to take part in -- but it came out as totally tongue in cheek. What can I say? I find most kinks absurd to begin with.* It's not excuse, nor a justification; it's not even an apology. But I don't think I'll use the trope again because well... I don't have an interest in exploring it further at this point.
After reading the other comments, I really don't know what to add. We all have our lines that we will not cross. For me, it's non-con.
Now, is voyeurism something I would actually enjoy in real life? I joke about it, but back in university, I was on the roof of an apartment building with a friend and my roommate. We were just chatting and drinking beer when all the sudden my friend noticed a couple having sex in their apartment. I was the one who freaked out and had a hissy fit while the others watched. Yeah, I'm all talk, and the internet is the place where fantasies get let loose.
*I've also toyed with the idea of writing clown kink because of a footnote I read in Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach. That's neither here not there for the purposes of this discussion, but probably illustrates that fic lets out my inner freak.
