A Reflektor, as described by Win Butler of Arcade Fire in their song "Reflektor", is a barrier between the trap of modern technology and escape. You think you are going to go a week without your phone, to better yourself, only to find yourself watching more TV. You feel trapped between technological advancement and a disconnection from the real world. You are reflecting your desire to free yourself of the modern world back onto yourself, and becoming trapped again. One of the lines from the song is below.

Get the refucktoring mug.A seemingly-ordinary photo which contains nudity, hidden in a surface reflection somewhere.
The exhibitionist strips down, takes a photo containing a shiny object somewhere, and then posts the photo in a public online forum. Some reflectoporn is true fetish -- it gives the exhibitionist the same thrill as flashing strangers in public -- but much of it is done as a joke.
Typically, reflectoporn is posted in the form of an eBay auction item. The listing is for a tea set and includes lots of high-resolution photos. And then after the photos get passed around by giggling bloggers all over the world, the auctioner claims to be "shocked and embarrassed" to learn that -- oh, no! -- the highly-polished silver teakettle <i>actually</i> reflected his willie! And right when he just happened to be fondling himself, too! Talk about awful luck!
