reflectoporn

Reflectoporn is the term used to describe a form of exhibitionism^[1] in which the participant removes their clothing, and then takes a photograph of an object with a reflective surface in such a way that their 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^[2]. Other examples followed ^{[3] [4] [5]}, and the specific term "reflectoporn" was eventually coined by Chris Stevens of Internet Magazine^[6].
