Used to work in a software company that moved to an office in a highrise; we had the whole floor, and the east side faced a (also highrise) Holiday Inn across a parking lot.
After about a month, I noticed that the group sitting by the east windows had apparently developed an interest in astronomy; they'd brought in a telescope and a couple of pairs of high-powered binoculars. Well, of course they were peeping at female hotel guests coming out of the shower in their rooms. These women figured that since they were eight or ten floors up there was no reason to pull the blinds. They figured wrong.
Occasionally one of the women would catch on, somehow, open the slider to the balcony and show off.
I'm not just saying this for effect but.... that group never got a lot of coding done.
I lived in San Francisco at the time, and had friends who lived in the Noe Valley area, which had a lot of steep hills covered with houses. You could look up or down from your backyard or back window into any number of houses. A lot of, ahem, _responsible adults_ in that neighborhood kept telescopes on their back porches.
So, yeah, the hormones may start to calm down after 18 or so, but the fascination with peeking never seems to go away for some people.
