TikToker Hareem Shah’s private video leaked: Understanding the psychology behind recording intimate moments – Times of India

Curiosity

Some couples love recording videos of their sex lives out of curiosity. They want to see how they look when they are at it. They even use it as a way to turn on when they want to do it again.

To please their partner

According to experts, people indulge in such acts against their wishes just in order to please their partner. Kamna Chhibber, Head of Mental Health, Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences at Fortis Healthcare. She shared, “The temptation to do so comes from the need to trust the other and often one gives in to the pressure believing that despite having reservations one needs to go outside the comfort zones to please the partner.”

To feel macho

Some men like to make videos of these moments with women so they can replay it and feel more macho.

Risk-taking

Risk-taking gives some people this adrenaline rush and this too can be a reason. Chhibber added that “somewhere risk-taking has become associated with the fun of being in a relationship and drawing boundaries, maintaining safety becomes secondary.”

Katoptronophilia

The need to record such moments could also be due to Katoptronophilia where you tend to watch yourself having sex. This issue has been there since ages when earlier men or women would watch themselves have sex in the mirror. Only here the mirror is replaced by a recording device to capture the moment.
