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 ] ] .
