Reflectoporn

Reflectoporn is a term used to describe a form of exhibitionism [ [http://www.perfectbluesky.com/reflecto/gallery.html Reflectoporn Gallery] ] in which a man or woman strips and then takes a photograph of an object with a reflective surface in such a way that his or her naked body can be seen in the reflection. The photograph is then posted in a public forum. The instance generally credited with starting the trend involved a man selling a kettle on eBay, featuring a photograph where his naked body is clearly visible [ [http://www.snopes.com/photos/risque/kettle.asp Urban Legends Reference Pages: Indecent Exposure ] ] . Other examples followed [citeweb|title=Nude eBayer flashes 19in monitor|url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/01/ebay_monitor_flash/|publisher=The Register|date=2005-07-01|accessdate=2007-07-28] [citeweb|title=eBayer goes for bust in ashtray auction|url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/19/ashtray_offer/|publisher=The Register|date=2006-06-19|accessdate=2007-07-28] [citeweb|title=eBay in wing-mirror reflectoporn shocker|url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/14/ebay_wing_mirror/|publisher=The Register|date=2006-07-14|accessdate=2007-07-28] , and the specific term "reflectoporn" was eventually coined by Chris Stevens of Internet Magazine [ [http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1490886 Reflectoporn@Everything2.com ] ] .
