upskirting

New laws came into effect last week regarding the practice up upskirting, I was just wondering what everyone's take is on the practice. Do we think it should be classed as a sexual assault , are there any members here who have been victim to it, or have anyones partners had it done to them ? Or indeed has anyone actually been guilty of doing it themselves ?

Nice thread CC.
I have upskirted my wife on many occasions, with her permission, and those lovely pics cum in very handy I can assure you.
My view on the law is that surely this kind of thing, when done either with malicious intent or without the victim's knowledge, should be covered by the various sex laws and/or decency laws that currently exist. It seems almost ridiculous to make 'upskirting' a specific offence.
Does that mean 'downblousing' needs to be a specific offence too? Where do you draw the line my friends?

A seperate law does seem unnecessary but maybe there were loopholes in the existing legislation that needed closing and clarifying

My personal opinion about upskirting.

If I give my consent(which I have in the past) then I do not have any problem with it.However, if I was upskirted without giving my consent(before the law was passed,quite correctly) then if I were alone I would have flattened the guy & stamped on his phone,if my hubby were with me,I dread to think what he would have done,apart from serving time.

Spot on Dee. As sexually liberal as I am everything must come with informed consent or it is wrong in every way

My wife has on several occasions been touched without her permission. One time was at a oasis gig, while passing through the beer tent, she told me that she had felt several hands go up her skirt and touch her pussy and bum over her knickers. Another time was in a very busy bar on a new years eve, again passing through the crowds she felt a hand go up her skirt and touch her pussy. Both times she said it excited her, I was in close proximity so she knew she was in no real danger, and if I had seen someone do it, chances are that on instinct I would have knocked them out, however when she told me about it later I too found it a total turn on, especially when she admitted that it had made her pussy wet.
It is however a sexual assault, and rightly so. I agree that a woman should be able to go where she chooses without being subjected to unwanted sexual advances, it is certainly not something I myself would ever consider doing without the woman's permission, however as far as my wife was concerned on these occasions, she rather enjoyed it and happily admitted to masturbating to the memory.

I think your wife is an exception. Really you shouldn't be attempting sexual contact without permission. It's just common decency

I thought about this but it stays as a fantasy. It's well beyond the pail. But if some women is careless then I admit instinct makes me look. I think it's the camera part that is worse.

Yes the camera bit definitely crosses a line

Even not up skirting - the woman on the beach yesterday for example - I enjoyed looking but wouldn't take a pic, that would just feel wrong
