I admit, I've got something of a character-watches-unknowing-character-bathe kink. Fantasy only, obviously, irl it would be... yuck. But that goes to something I find so, well, yucky about LKH's books. She has all these kinks that she treats as if they're not fantasy kinks, but would be perfectly acceptable to enact in real life outside a roleplaying context. She doesn't seem to realize that you're allowed to fantasize and write about things that are not acceptable in the real world, and so ends up defending some really indefensible stuff.
Also she thinks if it turns her on, it must turn everyone on and anyone who says differently is lying. Which leads to total weirdness like "men always think you want sex if you take a shower."
