Emirates Hills - yeah awesome...how many maids would we need to clean one of those?

I saw the new lakes but assumed that they would be sold, still too expensive anyhow. Not sure how much rent is in the lakes but meadows is around Dhs120 upwards for something to accomodate a family!

The Lakes townhouses are similar to the Springs in price and size, the Lakes detached villas, when comparing by size are similar to the Meadows. But at the same time, the Meadows has a wider range of floorplans and sizes, so the price range is wider as well.
The Hattan houses (brown ones) are bigger than the Lakes detached villas and so are more expensive.

Although, per sq metre, the Lakes is slightly more expensive than the Springs and Meadows because it is an established community and the greenery has already been developed

You can get a 3bed townhouse in the Lakes starting from Dhs80000, the detached villas started from around Dhs 120,000 for a 3100sq villa

Voyeurism
Voyeurism is a disorders of sexual arousal. It involves the act of observing unsuspecting individuals, usually strangers, who may be naked or in the process of disrobing. Even engaging in sexual activity. Masturbation usually occurs during, or shortly after, voyeuristic activities. A variation of voyeurism entails listening to erotic conversations; e.g. telephone sex. The main criteria for the diagnosis is:

Repeatedly, for at least 6 months, having intense sexual desires, fantasies or behaviors concerning the act of watching an unsuspecting person who is naked, disrobing or having sex.

This activity causes clinically important distress or impairs work, social or personal functioning.


Voyeurism may co-occur with another paraphilia, exhibitionism.


Onset is typically before the age of fifteen, and the individual may become so invested in the voyeuristic activity as to have this as the sole sexual behavior. This often is a chronic condition.

Associated Features:
None

Differential Diagnosis:
Some disorders have similar or even the same symptoms. The clinician, therefore, in his/her diagnostic attempt has to differentiate against the following disorders which need to be ruled out to establish a precise diagnosis.


Antisocial Personality Disorder
Dementia.

Cause:
There are many different theories related to voyeuristic behavior, many stemming from the psychoanalytic tradition. It has been suggested that childhood trauma (e.g., sexual abuse) or significant childhood experiences may manifest itself in voyeuristic behavior.


Treatment:
Treatment typically involves psychotherapy to uncover and attempt to work through the underlying cause of the behavior. Behavioral and Group Therapy may also be helpful for those who are motivated to change. Success rates however, are not known.


Counseling and Psychotherapy
Cognitive, Behavior, and Psychoanalytic Therapies are used to treat individuals with paraphilia's.

Pharmacotherapy
Some prescription medicines are used to help decrease the compulsive thinking associated with the paraphilia's. Hormones are prescribed occasionally for individuals who experience intrusive sexual thoughts, urges, or abnormally frequent sexual behaviors. Almost always the treatment must be long-term if it is to be effective.
