Candaulism

Candaulism is the sexual practice of exposing your female partner to others for their voyeuristic pleasure, either in the flesh or through photographs. The female may be naked or wear very revealing clothes, such as skin-tight or see-through clothing. The photographs may be physically shown or sent to people, or displayed on the Internet.

One version is to strip the female of her clothes or get her to remove them in the presence of others or before a camera so that others can watch remotely.

The term comes from a story told by the Greek historian Herodotus of Halicarnassus about a king called Candaules who told his bodyguard Gyges to hide so he could see the queen naked.
