PORKY’S (1981)

The Motivation-Facilitation Model of Sexual Offending (MFM; Seto, 2008; Seto, 2019) is a comprehensive model of sexually offending. Within this model, it is suggested that all sexual offending is driven by one or a combination of three motivators: having a paraphilia, high sex drive, or intense mating effort. Offending is then hypothesized to be facilitated by state (e.g., alcohol use) and trait (e.g., antisociality) factors as well as situational factors (e.g., access to victims).
Recently, Seto suggested that the MFM could be applicable to non-contact sexual offenses such as exhibitionism and voyeurism (Seto,
2019). However, as Seto states, this is difficult to test given the dearth of literature on voyeurism. (via https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10880415/ )
