Why Would Anyone Steal Underwear?

Psychiatrists classified underwear thefts as a fetish – sexual arousal by objects.

They say the disorder often begins in early puberty when a boy’s sexual urges grow.

As a result, he could get aroused by underwear and associates it with sexual pleasure.

He may develop an overwhelming need for such object, which led him to steal it, or worse.

Mostly, it is men who do such things.

Men, unlike women, feed their primal desire by watching pornography, hiring prostitutes and in this case, stealing panties.
