Surveillism

A fetish based on the arousal of being watched privately by a familiar person or multiple familiar people; being observed during sexual acts by an intimate partner or multiple partners or friends.

A subset of exhibitionism, Surveillism makes the distinction in the thrill of being 'seen' rather than being on 'display;' of being viewed by a select person or curated group rather than open-range exhibition, with an emphasis on intimacy. It is a more accurate opposite of 'voyeur,' as it alludes to a certain privacy while being watched.
"Jennifer is an exhibitionist, so she has an OnlyFans account to get her off; but James is into surveillism, so he only sends videos to his boyfriend and girlfriend, who are voyeurs."
