Trying to pin some erotic sexual label here will fail…updated

Scopophilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

…I’m not sure how different this is from normal sexual attraction only it is through a machine which exploits those drives and directs the libido toward objects one would normally avert from one’s attention unless it was needed.   In this respect it really fails as a viable description of the problem.

In history looking as in going to the ballet may have really been some attempt at mirroring.  In some societies like Shakespeare’s time it was considered distasteful which in reality really stripped the poorer people of evolving their behavior.   Male opera was also a kind of mirroring and any sexual attraction seems really of a narcissistic nature, finding the beauty in one’s own body which one could do if one looked in a mirror.   To be overly obsessed would be a problem to me rather than what I consider normal narcissism.
