SIGN    Episode 11
    "At What Point is
    Voyeurism a Sickness?"
[00:11] Asuna
    Let's go clothes shopping, Onee-chan!
[00:14] Iyashi
    Sure. Which cosplay shop
    do you want to go to?
[00:16] Asuna
    That's not what I mean... Huh?
SIGN    Do Not Look
    In This Hole!
SIGN    Menacing
[00:23] Asuna
    I just can't help looking when
    I see messages like these.
[00:26] Iyashi
    Hey, Asuna...
[00:30] Asuna
    A camera?
SIGN    Bam
SIGN    Bang
[00:40] Asuna
    Th-Th...
[00:42] Asuna
    Th-Th-Th-There was a peeping tom!
[00:44] Ryou
    Huh?
[00:45] Asuna
    He was taking pictures!
[00:46] Ryou
    Asuna-san.
[00:47] Ryou
    That's not the way a health
    care provider should say it.
[00:50] Asuna
    Huh?
[00:52] Ryou
    In psychiatry, there is an
    illness called "voyeurism!"
SIGN    Voyeurism
SIGN    Women
[00:56] Guy&Text
    Inspection complete.
[00:58] Asuna
    Just call it peeping syndrome!
SIGN    He looks cooler than he should!!
[01:00] Asuna
    I don't care what it's called!
    Does he have that illness, too?
[01:03] Ryou
    Actually, in the DSM-IV,
    voyeurism is defined this way...
SIGN    "Voyeurism"
SIGN    Diagnosed when one watches unsuspecting strangers naked, removing clothes, or engaging in sexual acts frequently over a period of at least six months.
[01:09] Asuna
    Naked, removing clothes, or sexual acts?
[01:10] Ryou
    In other words, just seeing your
    underwear isn't considered voyeurism!
[01:13] Asuna
    What?!
[01:14] Asuna
    I don't agree with that at all!
SIGN    It's okay 'cause they're panties!
[01:17] Iyashi
    Don't worry, Asuna.
[01:19] Iyashi
    I'm not wearing any today,
[01:21] Iyashi
    so it would've been voyeurism for me.
[01:23] Asuna
    Why aren't you wearing any?!
    Forget voyeurism, are you okay?!
[01:27] Ryou
    And it's important that it
    continues for six months.
[01:30] Ryou
    In other words, just peeping once
    isn't considered voyeurism!
SIGN    So you can
    all rest easy!
[01:34] Asuna
    Your criteria for diagnosis are way too lax!
[01:36] Iyashi
    So it's not voyeurism unless you
    keep watching for six months?
[01:40] Ryou
    Not for six months straight.
SIGN    These sexual urges cause considerable suffering or difficulty in the patient's relationships.
[01:42] Ryou
    There's also this condition.
[01:45] Ryou
    In other words, if it doesn't bother
    anyone, it's not a problem!
[01:48] Asuna
    I'm so happy. Take more
    pictures of all of me.
[01:51] Asuna
    It does bother me!
[01:52] ---
    And again, that makes me
    look like the pervert!
SIGN    Today's Theme:
    "Voyeurism"
[01:54] Asuna
    But why do people want to peep, anyway?
[01:57] Ryou
    Huh?
[01:57] Asuna
    I mean, if the guy has a girlfriend,
[01:59] Asuna
    he could do a lot more
    than just catch glimpses.
[02:02] Iyashi
    Asuna...
[02:03] Iyashi
    Maybe they peep because they
    don't have that option.
[02:05] Asuna
    She said it!
[02:06] Ryou
    No, there are men with girlfriends or
    wives who still get arrested for peeping.
[02:11] Asuna
    Really?
[02:12] Ryou
    It's believed that voyeurism
    offers a kind of stimulation
SIGN    He and I are in love!
SIGN    I see...
[02:16] Ryou
    unlike that experienced
    in normal sexual acts.
[02:18] Ryou
    Perhaps, instead of looking with permission,
[02:19] [SONG] Text
    Huge Scoop!
    Alone in hotel with lover!!
SIGN    Please comment! Is it true?!
[02:20] Ryou
    looking in secret gives them
    a greater sense of conquest.
[02:23] Ryou
    Also, rather than working hard
    and earning what you expect,
SIGN    I worked hard for a
    month and made
    150,000 yen...
[02:26] Ryou
    getting more than you expected without
    working for it may bring greater joy.
SIGN    I found 10,000 yen!
[02:31] Iyashi
    Dr. Ryou, you need to include this message.
SIGN    This anime is only explaining the mentality behind voyeurism, expressed through ideas, and does not condone peeping. We are not responsible for any crimes committed because it was mentioned in this anime. -The Comical Psychosomatic Medicine Staff
[02:35] Ryou
    They're evading all responsibility?!
[02:36] Asuna
    But what are people who are
    prone to voyeurism like?
[02:40] Ryou
    The psychiatrist Richard W. Roukema said...
SIGN    "Voyeurs do not like to be seen by the people they're watching."
SIGN    Don't look, you pervert!
[02:44] Asuna
    The nerve!
[02:45] Ryou
    And according to Roukema,
    the number of patients
[02:48] ---
    receiving treatment for it is
    vastly down from 40 years ago.
[02:50] Asuna
    Why is that?
SIGN    "Possibly because their sexual needs are fulfilled by adult websites and porn videos."
[02:52] Asuna
    What?! Really?!
[02:55] Asuna
    G-Grandpa?!
[02:56] Grandpa
    Kids today don't know how
    hard it was back then!
[02:59] Grandpa
    You get all the cake and
    sweets you can eat, right?
[03:01] Grandpa
    But when I was a boy, we had none of that!
[03:03] Grandpa
    The sweetest thing we had was the fruit
    of the neighborhood persimmon tree!
[03:06] Grandpa
    It's the same with erotic stuff!
[03:08] Grandpa
    These days, you can find anything on the
    internet, from young to mature ladies.
[03:11] Grandpa
    But in my day, we had to
    find it all locally!
[03:14] Grandpa
    But I don't think I had it rough!
[03:16] Grandpa
    Now, when everything is at our fingertips,
[03:18] Grandpa
    is when we need to remember the
    happiness of the old da—
[03:21] Ryou
    He really flew!
[03:25] Asuna
    What treatment methods
    are there for voyeurism?
[03:28] Ryou
    Oh, right...
[03:29] [SONG] Text
    Medicinal Treatment
[03:29] Ryou
    First, there's medicine.
[03:31] Iyashi
    Medicine for voyeurism?
SIGN    You won't want to look anymore!
    Voyeur-B-Gone!
SIGN    You won't want to look anymore!
SIGN    Voyeur-B-Gone
[03:35] Ryou
    No medication treats it that directly!
SIGN    I can relax now!
[03:38] Ryou
    Most patients suffer from
    stress or sexual frustration,
[03:40] Ryou
    so they'd use medicine to relieve those.
[03:43] Asuna
    Oh, I get it...
[03:44] Iyashi
    Use medicine?
[03:46] Ryou
    Not that way! What is this, an
    intelligence test for chimpanzees?!
[03:49] Ryou
    There are also psychological remedies.
[03:51] Ryou
    It's said that most voyeurism patients
    experience cognitive distortions.
[03:54] Guy
    If she's wearing a skirt that
    short, she must want to be seen.
SIGN    Girls actually like
    being seen, right?
[03:58] Ryou
    So we would correct those distortions.
[04:00] Doc
    It doesn't mean they want to show you.
SIGN    No girl is happy to be
    seen by a peeping tom.
[04:02] [SONG] Text
    Crushed
[04:04] Asuna
    But none of those seems
    like a decisive solution.
[04:07] Asuna
    What else is there?
[04:08] Ryou
    There's also a method called
    "aversive conditioning."
[04:11] Ryou
    By administering punishment
    for doing something wrong,
SIGN    Zap Zap
[04:13] Ryou
    the patient learns to not do it again.
SIGN    I won't go to the right again.
[04:16] Asuna
    Hmm, punishment for peeping...
[04:19] Girl
    Pervert!
[04:22] Guy
    So this is her used bathwater...
[04:24] Asuna
    That's not working as a punishment!
[04:26] Asuna
    What do we do?! There has to be a punishment!
SIGN    Beep
SIGN    Boop
SIGN    Bap
[04:33] Asuna
    So there is a punishment.
[04:35] Ryou
    I just hope he isn't enjoying it.
SIGN    Before you get punished,
    visit the mental clinic!
