A small crowd in Hong Kong gathered to watch two individuals having sex in an opposite building through uncurtained windows.

While the man standing up was in full view, only a pair of legs could be seen from the other person involved, leading the crowd to speculate on whether the person was a man or woman.

Some of them even started chanting "stand up" before being shushed by others.

Cheered when other person was revealed to be a man

When the other person finally stood up, he was revealed to be a man.

The crowd then started cheering loudly immediately.

Netizens react

As to why the crowd found the amorous display fascinating, the following netizens' comments can perhaps provide some insight.

Fascinated with what one doesn't have

Translation: The people who gathered to watch have zero sex life.

Fulfilling a certain desire

Translation: Wow, I'm speechless. This satisfies my inner fujoshi.

As exciting as the World Cup

Translation: World gay cup.

Not all are interested though.

Translation: Making a mountain out of a molehill

When the observers become part of the performance

Translation: The funniest part is actually the onlookers' reactions.

Speaks of a larger societal issue

Translation: Once again, this proves that Hong Kong's living spaces are really small. There's no personal space to speak of.

According to on.cc, while the two men were in a private place, they were still exposing themselves to the public by not closing the curtains, therefore making them liable to a fine of HK$1,000 (~S$173) or up to six months in jail.
