Male Exhibitionism: Public masturbation before girls and women?

Question

Have you, or have you known anyone who was damaged by a man exposing themselves, or masturbating in public over you. This happened to me once while I was a kid playing in the front yard of my house and once as an adult, while taking a walk in my neighborhood two blocks from my house (a man followed me with his hands down his pants.) I know that the first and unwarranted question is waht were you wearing, as if that is pertinant. I was wearing baggy sweats, no make-up and hair in a pony tail. I have never taken a walk since. I was damaged by this crime which is not even taken seriously.

Have you had any experiences like this and how did it affect you?

This question is for women only. If you men don't like it - go to a strip club.

Answer 1

yes it is damaging and common. the behavior normally escalates.

Answer 2

When I was in high school. After Pom pon practice a few friends and I were walking back to my house. I lived about 10 blocks from school. A older man, about 35-45, was standing in his front window naked playing with himself as he watched us walk by. We all just ran a couple blocks down and laughed. I don't remember feeling threatened, but I did learn some years later that the man had been doing that for years to high school girls. Then once I was in the library and some guy whipped out his you know what at me from across the isle. I did feel scared then because I was pretty much alone. I took off like a bat out of h**l. It didn't effect me on any level, except now I carry pepper spray on my key chain...

Answer 3

As long as a dude's not chasing after me with his junk in his hands, I could care less what he wants to fantasize about. If he was masturbating in front of me, I'd have a problem with it.

Answer 4

Anatol you really are a t*t

Answer 5

There is something aberrant about this behavior, and I am glad there are social controls in place to deal with it.  Some things should be done in private, and masturbation is one of them.  Even if a person enjoys an audience, this can be arranged privately.  Subjecting random strangers to one's self-gratification is unacceptable.

That being said, however, I think girls and women have been conditioned to view the p***s as a weapon, and that IS damaging to all of society.  It makes it difficult to have normal relationships between the sexes.

Answer 6

Almost.  The jerk followed me around a crowded but deserted parking lot as I looked for a space.  As I was heading into the building, he asked me what time it was.  I said I didn't know and ran inside.  Five minutes later a friend came into the building trembling and crying.  He had exposed himself to her and it shattered her.  The police were called but he was gone by then.   She called her husband to pick her up, because she was too shaken to drive home.

It's not funny.

Answer 7

I'm sorry you had this happen to you.  And I'm sorry that when you reported it it wasn't taken seriously.  However, it seems that the current "damage" you are experiencing is in your mind and memory.  Perhaps you might get some counseling to help you put this properly in the past so that it stops affecting your NOW.

Answer 8

You may not be joking when asking this question.  Still, too many freaks out there and I can't take a chance.  

Hence, reported.
