Citations: 2003 Graham Brough Mirror (U.K.) (Sept. 9) “Get your bids out for the eBays” p. 18: Reflectoporn—the way exhibitionists get their nude bodies seen by millions around the world—swept America first and has now spread to the UK. 2004 Fleshbot (May 14) “eBay Item of the Week”: Reflectoporn might have been the big eBay porn craze that wasn’t, but we’ve been seeing a lot of otherwise ordinary auction items modeled by some very extraordinary looking women lately, like this perfectly hideous men’s jacket which showed up on eBay Germany last week. 2004 NewYorkish (Apr. 8) “The Department of Sad, Sad Hobbies”: This new “craze” is called reflectoporn and here’s another explanation: “Sellers take a photo of the object they’re auctioning in the nude and their naked body is reflected in its polished surface.”
