<description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s still not funny that I was abused by my mother &amp; my auntie taking turns raping me with a broom handle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Looking back at all my stupid posts in the past I can see why I deserved to be molested. In fact, I should be anally raped by a large bald-headed lesbian with a dirty broom handle. Now if only the God-awful stench from my stank, filthy vagina would cease....hmmm...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I am sure a few of you have heard about the woman who was charged with having sex with a 14 year old.What she did was not wrong.Many years ago you was allowed to marry a 14 year old.This is just absolutely insane.They put her in handcuffs and treat her like she is an evil psycho.How many wake-up calls do you people need ??? There are eathquakes killing hundreds of people in foreign lands,hurricanes that are destroying cities and towns,,,,,etc.It&apos;s time to change.You may think I am insane.Your thinking will change when you are at death&apos;s door.I am not for guy power or girl power.I believe all things of a sexual nature are the way they are for a reason and I am not against them.Rape seems like a really really bad thing but it is natures way of reproducing the population.The female can normally get something from being raped that a male will never get to experiance,the blessings of a child.In today&apos;s world everyone knows what happens to the rapist when caught by the police.He or she spends the next many years of their life in jail.Sometimes the victim is murdered and the reason for this is because the rapist becomes just as scared as the one they raped.Noone wants to spend time in a cage.I think I had rather walk away after being raped than to be killed by someone afraid to do jail time.

I have many other beliefs too.Women are completely equal to men.They deserve to be leaders,to be able to vote,to be able to run major companies,etcI also believe they should have a 50% saying in the household and at the workplace.

Anyway,gotta go.Bye.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Now that we are becoming united yet again it is causing changes.This time a tower didnt unite us,the world wide web is.What is going to happen when the computer systems break down? It will cause chaos throughout the lands.The civilized society will crash.Once again animal instints will take over and many people will die in the search for food.You have heard this many times over the last few years so why should you believe it is going to happen? I will tell you why.Look out your doors and windows.Where there was once two lane roads there is now six to eight lane express highways.We are growing and so is the world wide web.When we reach the set limit the world wide web will crash and so will we.

After the crash hits it will no longer be safe.Men and women defending the lives of their families will fight and kill for food.War and death will be everywhere.You can feel the terror and pain of the future.We all can.Get in a quiet and dark place.Close your eyes and clear your mind.What is that silent feeling that is deep within your body ? It is the knowledge of what is about to happen.

Why did 9-11 really happen? That is up to you to find out.Maybe you will,maybe you wont.

I wanted to explain what major role that sex played in all this but I think I have said enough.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;one more thing.When people unite,bad things happen.Remember the story in the bible when everyone united trying to form a tower to reach heaven? everyone is becoming united again.What&apos;s this got to do with sex you may ask? I will tell ya soon.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi again.Yep,I am still alive.I have been doing some meditating and I have some things that are gonna make several of you mad.I think that most of the female population hate men.They wont let us around their young daughters.Some females talk and talk and talk about child molestation and rape.Are these things really wrong or just uncivilized? What has happened now that these &quot;offenders&quot; are being punished? You have more bisexuals than ever,the gay men population is growing,people are even trying to marry the same sex.What are we doing??? When we change,nature changes.If you raise a girl to believe men are evil creatures and to stay away should it be surprising when the time she brings her date home that instead of it being a clean cut guy it is a blonde haired,blue eyed girl ? What are you people doing??? In ten years are we going to have any future at all?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Tonight I exposed myself to someone at a gas station.I expect them to phone the police.I cannot deny my feelings.Under no circumstances will I hurt the people I flash.

When I came home I loaded my handgun with personal protection bullets.They wont be used for personal protction,they will be used for personal termination.When the police come for me I will hide in the closet and if they find me I will shoot myself.

If I am forced to commit suicide then I want you to know kelly that I love you with all my heart.I know that you didnt go out with me cause you was scared that you would hurt me.Dad,I am sorry I couldnt be the son that you had always wanted.Mom,I guess I will see you in heaven.

I know that these words dont really matter to any of you.When I die it wont affect you none.Most of you will cheer cause you didnt want my kind here anyway.Bye.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I havent been able to expose myself much lately.Cant get into the right situation.I usually expose myself at the laundrymatt to any female that happens to be in there.

I am kinda sad today though.I fell in love with this girl over the internet.She was beautiful and attractive and sexy.That isnt the most important traits.I really prefer to date a brown haired girl around 5&apos;5 who is around 19 and thin.This girl that I fell in love with had become everything to me.I didnt trust her much at first but in time I trusted her completely.I was sending her money cause she told me that she was going to die from hunger.She kept telling me that she would pay me back.She said that she had a check coming to me and wanted me to cash it for her and give it to her.I was suprised when fed ex came to my house with a delivery for me.I opened it up and there was the check that my baby was talking about.It was a $6000 check.I was really amazed at how much she trusted me.All day I was wondering why someone would trust a guy like me that much.I really dont think that I would deserve such trust.I have been abused all my life by family,friends,bullies.That was before I ever begin flashing my penis to females.

I took the check to the bank and they told me that it would take five days to complete the transaction.I waited and waited.I actually waited seven days cause I wanted to be completely sure that the check was going to be okay.It wasnt my money anyway so I wasnt in any hurry.I went to the bank yesturday and the told me the check was a fraud.I almost started crying in the bank.My baby wanted me to cash the check as soon as I could so I could give her the money and be stuck with the legal issues.She broke my heart.

You are probably thinking that I deserve to have my heart broken for the things that I do.To be honest I dont think that you would want to know what it feels like to be me.All the girls know about me when I expose my penis to them is that I am a criminal in their eyes.They dont know how many nights I cry myself to sleep cause I have noone to put my arm around.Even though I am a good looking guy they dont know about the many rejections that I get off of all these dating sites.True.com,yahoopersonals.com,I use them all I suppose.I do wish things were different.I wish I had a girl to love and to hold.One that I could hold hands with and to watch the sunrise and sunset.Yes,I do have a very romantic side.That is surprising isn&apos;t it? You should see my sweet side.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Now that I described the dream,let me describe the nightmare.You cant tell who has called the police on you or how much of your license plate that they got.You keep a gun in your home and with you most of the time cause the judge dont like repeat offenders.You know what you would have to do if they came after you.You would have to take that gun and point it at your head and fire.You would never hurt anyone but someone must have wanted to hurt you cause you showed them the special parts of your body.You like to smile and you really like to make other people smile but some people hate you so much simply cause you showed them your stuff.

Strange isnt it? God created your reproductive parts and people want to put you in a cage cause you simply showed those parts.

I showed my penis tonight.I showed it to her and she looked.I smiled and my heart felt so warm when she smiled back.She accepted me for who I was.

It isnt fair that people can just throw us into classification with weirdos and rapist.I would give my life for the females I expose myself to.If they were to come to me and say &quot;hey john.I really need some cash.My rent is due and I am broke.Can you help me?&quot; I would say &quot;Hell yeah,How much do ya need?&quot;

I am gonna go to sleep.I am sleepy and I am tired of feeling this deep dark empty feeling inside.The truth is that we all want to feel happy and loved.Good night everyone.I love you all.Bye.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I would like to share some of hardships of exposing yourself to someone.It is so hard to tell who you can expose yourself to.People just dont realize that there is no harm in this.It is just a fantasy.I am prepared for the day that I have to commit suicide in front of the police who wont leave unless I am in handcuffs.I know that day is coming.I accept my fate.I cant stop.It is a thrill that keeps me alive.

Just imagine.You see this person that would never go out with you.Not even if you were the last male/female on earth.When you expose yourself to this person you have just made actual contact.They look at your hidden body parts.It is the greatest feeling in the world.Its like for one blink of a second you have had sex with them.It was like a dream come true.You heart was racing and joy filled your whole body.For that moment you were happy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey guys.I know that there are several guys that come to sites like these who also like to expose their special body parts just like I do.I know what its like.I know the deep feeling of loneliness that most of us suffer.People look at us and treat us like dirt and show us how much they really do hate us.I am not talking about those who rape and molest.Those guys are really messed up man.I speak about the ones like me who simply like to expose themselves to females.I know what its like to be on the edge of killing yourself and when you expose yourself to women it makes that feeling go away.I know that when you see a female going to pee that you want to go with her.For some of us like me the addiction is not just about exposing ourselves,it is also about trust.Remember that time when you felt left out when all the girls were going to change and they wouldnt let you go with them ? It felt awful didnt it ? You were so curious but they treated you like you were undeserving to go in there.You got left out.It hurts.I wish that I could take away that hurt from you.I know how it felt when you saw these girls developing breasts and even though you were so very curious they still left you out and said &quot;you cant see them you pervert&quot;.

We cant change those things that happened to us.A few of us are in jail right now for exposing ourselves to someone who just didnt know what it felt like to be us.A few of us are dead because of a suicide that they could see no way of getting past.i am writting this to give you hope.In a few states women are allowed to go topless.While this is a big relief for them I believe that there will be a day when we will be able to go naked whenever we want.Until then I advise you to try out the nude resorts.This will not fully heal the black hole inside you but it is a start.You should also try to be happy.if the desire to expose yourself gets too strong then email me: roboticsuperman@yahoo.com .I will try to stop you from getting yourself thrown in jail for something that really isnt wrong.Sometimes doing this freaks women out so bad that they can actually become dangerous.Those type of girls think that you are a threat and that is how they will treat you.Please remember that some women carry guns.

I know that the life of an exposer is a hard one.I wish all of you luck....exposers and victims.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Indecent exposure is fun and it is something that keeps me from killing myself sometimes.In other countries guys go down streets holding hands and they comment on how this would be considered gay in America.We have been spoiled so bad here.I think that we deserved the attack on 9-11.This gender war that we have between male and female is so stupied.If a female wanted to go around with her vagina exposed one day then let her.If a guy wanted to run down to the market with his penis hanging out then let him.If the stupied clothing law would have never been invented then nobody would feel offended when they see these special body parts.I just wish that everyone could realize that we are not here to be against each other.

Females stop going around the house naked around the age of 6,males,sometimes never stop.I am a guy and I like to see things and how they work.Between the ages of 9-19 I wasnt even around one naked female (young or old).What do you think that does to a guy ? We see these girls developing and its like someone tells us &quot;sorry boys thats something special and you cannot touch or see it.&quot;Is it fair when a girl rushes into the bathroom to brush her hair when a guy is taking a bath at the age of 12 and when he tries to do the same to her he is scolded ? People we have to learn to love each other more than that.Females and males are like the sun and the moon.Both are needed and both have their purpose. I am gonna be honest to both guys and girls....you better stop the hate.If someone physically hurts you then that is wrong.If someone exposes themselves to you (male or female) dont let it bother you.Physical attraction or just plain wanting to show what you got is not wrong.I will say it again,stop the hate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey again.I posted the above paragragh.I know that sometimes people always bundle up the guys who expose themselves into the sicko catagory but I just wish people could see with better eyes than that.If there are any females who would like to know more about why this happens to them then you can write me; roboticsuperman@yahoo.com. Thanks.Bye bye.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi guys.Guess I am a little late in posting.I have to admit that I also commit crimes of indecent exposure but I dont do it to offend anyone.I do it because it makes me feel loved and accepted for who and what I am.I would never ever dare to hurt a woman.Sometimes if possibe I even try to say I am sorry to the girl I expose myself to.I love everyone.Nobody understands me. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;A friend of mine once visited me from London. While she was wating late one evening on the Tube platform, a man on a walkway above her flashed her and started masturbating.

Being a blue-collar woman from Philadelphia, she responded in the most logical and effective way, by shouting &quot;Oh my god, look at that, it looks like a dick only smaller! What a sorry excuse for a penis! I&apos;ve seen babies with bigger ones! Why do you even bother? You poor man!&quot; and so on. The guy ran away.

So yeah, you can be traumatized by experiences like this, but these losers get off on the shocked reaction of the women who they expose themselves to, and ridicule isn&apos;t generally what they&apos;re after. Spazzing out just gives them what they want.

I&apos;m not saying you shouldn&apos;t involve the police too, but it&apos;s disproprtionate to assert that witnessing something like this will scar a woman for life, unless she was already in an abnormally precarious and fragile mental state. It&apos;s unwise to make policy based on the hypothetical reactions of the unstable.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Bridget needs to grow up and move on.
Is this guy a creep? Hell yes
Is he dangerous? No not really just very very bad mannered.
Bad manners are reprehensible but nothing to run around screaming about.
JK if you believe that public masterbation leads to other more horrific sexal crimes your doing worse than kidding yourself, your confusing one thing for another like owning goldfish leads to putting children in pools filled with sharks.
You have nothing to back up such fear based tripe.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Whoever thinks public masturbation on a train in front of a lone woman is not threatening, disgusting, creepy, and demoralizing is living in a fantasy world. You have NO clue what this feels like if you are a man. None.

You know what my first sexual experience was? At the age of 8, a man parked his car next to our family van and exposed himself to me. Yep. Isn&apos;t that nice? What a way to find out about men and sex. 

Is this the way you would want your daughter or sister to learn about sexuality?

I was frightened and confused. My first thought was to make sure the doors were locked. If you don&apos;t think public masturbation leads to other, more horrific sexual crimes you have to be kidding yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think Gothamist should start cheerleading squad for public masturbators, so that you can whip out your pom poms ans show your support.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&apos;t react, that&apos;s what the sick bastard wants you to do. Look the other way and get off at the next stop. Always carry pepper spray. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;There are degrees of objectionability.  This is more objectionable than someone taking a dump in the middle of the street, less objectionable than someone masterbating and shooting cum on your shoes, and certainly less objectionable than rape.  Have some perspective -- report it to the police, then forget about it.  Just because she felt violated doesn&apos;t mean she was violated.  I feel violated every time I see women wearing tight jeans with folds of fat hanging out the sides.  Sure, it is violation for me -- but it is not violation, where violation is defined as &quot;an assualt sexually; rape&quot;.

Here&apos;s an easy solution for those people that would feel violated when seeing a guy masterbating in public -- face the other direction, and get off at the next stop.  End of story.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;you may think public masturbation is just harmless and gross, but when I am sitting alone or nearly alone with a guy in a subway car and he starts masturbating, I treat that as a threat, as should any woman.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Not too long ago, domestic violence was also considered a joke.  It was almost always dismissed by the cops as not serious (or worthy)enough for their attention.  No longer is that the case.

Judging by some of the prior comments, it sure looks like some people are stuck in the past when it comes to perverts exposing themselves.  Apparently, these posters are just not able to comprehend why this type of behaviour is objectionable and unacceptable in a decent society.  Maybe they will get it someday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I can go ballistic any time I want and nobody can stop me.  Where is the law that says I can&apos;t go ballistic??? You&apos;re allowed to be an asshole aren&apos;t you? Who in the hell are you anyway leaving a fucked up comment like that and not even leaving your real name, at least I&apos;m not a coward  To whoever is in charge of these boards please take that assholes&apos; comment off he&apos;s writing things about my father that he has no business writing and if I had known what motherfuckers on this board will sink to I would not have written at all. Please take off my comments too because I think I made a mistake and went too far writing to this board and I don&apos;t . Thank you for your time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I need therapy because I know that it is not okay to shout down a woman for reporting this man , and for wanting her complaints to be taken seriously. I don&apos;t want any therapy that would make me like you. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;ok, who&apos;s not listening? you&apos;re blowing this into something it&apos;s not and spouting off your &apos;motherfuckin&apos; issues. i&apos;ve read every word but yet i&apos;m accused of telling you to &apos;man it up&apos;, told who i am, where i should be living, to fuck off, that i&apos;m stupid, i&apos;m a dimwit, i know nothing about any of this, that i can&apos;t understand the feeling of being humiliated, how protected my life has been, that i shouted down a courageous woman, what sex am i... blah blah blah. the fact is you don&apos;t know me but instead of taking on my opinion of this petty jerk-off&apos;s crime, you&apos;re focusing on me. what exactly should i be &apos;hearing&apos; from you. 

look, i never defended the guy&apos;s actions, it&apos;s just not in the same realm as an assault and i would be disappointed if our police took the resources to treat it that way.


think twice, from that, all i can conclude is that:
a) the trauma is superficial so you feel it&apos;s not morally demented to wish it on others. would you wish permanent brain damage on me as well?
b) that the trauma is much worse than i thought and you are truly evil people to wish such awful pain on others. 

you know that karma is listening to you too while you wish more harm on people. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;I think that someone would only wish public humilitaion on you because you so recklessly dismiss the public humiliation of someone else and maybe if you knew how it felt you wouldn&apos;t be so insensitive. On the other hand I think that you have already publicly humiliated yourself on this forum today and you did it all by yourself. You have succeeded in shouting down a woman who had the courage to stand up for herself after what was, TO HER(get it,her not you!) a violating experience. According to you, she was &quot;bugging the cops&quot; and it was &quot;not a big deal&quot;. I think you are offering a pretty big bone to pick when you ridicule and deride and shame woman for going to the police after experiencing what TO HER (read what she wrote about it, she says it herself) was a violating experience that she wanted to try to prevent from happening to other women.&quot;

Amen.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;reporting it is fine, but i think she was bugging the cops when she started complaining that they didn&apos;t take it seriously enough. you furthered it by equating this petty crime to a sexual assault (with lovely... passion). i urged nothing more than perspective. you can call it subjectively traumatic, but i think most people realize what real trauma is. it&apos;s a relatively minor crime.

but hey, way to justify personal attacks in a debate. it takes real compassion and understanding to wish something so traumatic on another person.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;It&apos;s about a pervert masterbating on a train. It&apos;s illegal.&quot;

as i was saying. the guy is no rapist or assailant. he jerked off in public which is a much lesser and unrelated crime. treat it for what it is. gross, disturbing, illegal but not grounds for a major man-hunt that an assault would justify. 

i&apos;m so goddamned stupid? you wish public humiliation on me? admirable ways to make your points. clearly you have a bigger bones to pick than the one i&apos;m offering.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hijiki, are you a woman? I ask because if you are, you are so goddman stupid you should not even be living in a city. This isn&apos;t about our hangups with nakedness or the beauty of the human form or people&apos;s personal kinks. It&apos;s about a pervert masterbating on a train.

<description>&lt;p&gt;yes, bridget, i&apos;m so lucky and sheltered. but still, it&apos;s not about luck or your own personal experience. just like everyone who smokes pot will not end up shooting heroin, not every guy with a disturbing fetish is going to be a criminal rapist. i didn&apos;t say she should be silent, now did i. but your turning this into some kind of sexual offender witch-hunt when the guy didn&apos;t touch or threaten anyone. i&apos;m advocating perspective.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think we should stop defending the public masterbater and all start blaming Donny Deutsch and his vulgar marketing campaign. &quot;40 year old virgin is just a movie.&quot; Deutsch is terrorizing countless new yorkers by sending out his team of public masterbators to publicize the film. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Man, a couple of days ago I saw a little kid just take his pants off and start peeing outside a restaurant. ANd this morning I saw a little girl take her clothes off right in public so her mother could change her bottom. According to Bridget we must prosecute these little criminals to the fullest extent of the law. Throw the book at em. I&apos;m sorry you were accosted when you were little BRIDGET. On the other hand YOU MUST BE REALLY HOTTT!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s reality that in this day and age you&apos;re LUCKY not to be a victim of sexual assault in some form or another, you&apos;re lucky to be so sheltered as to think that a man flashing his penis and masturbating in front of a woman in  a subway car is no big deal in the scheme of things. The only REALITY is that you are PART OF THE PROBLEM for advocating that this woman other women be SILENT when they feel violated/traumatized by a mans&apos; sexual behavior, just because you would not feel violated. And as for you JENNA, as to you&apos;re question &quot;what would the child care?&quot; just ask me I was that child as were millions of other children male and female all over the world and being exposed to  male (or females&apos;) sexual perversions at any time without anyone thinking it was a big deal or that I mattered enough to protect has left me  fighting tooth and nail for the life you so sweetly told me to get. But I have a voice now and I&apos;m here to tell you to go to hell.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;it&apos;s not luck, it&apos;s just reality. i&apos;m sorry you had a harsh experience, but you can&apos;t condemn a person as a rapist because you assume all petty crimes lead to violent crimes.

i&apos;m sorry crimeisntcool, did you read anything or are you just spouting off to some figment of your imagination? i&apos;ll leave you to argue with yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;The cops want people to report things like this, dimwit. If they notice a pattern, they will respond/investigate accordingly. If you joined a neighborhood group or participated in community policing you would know this. Stop opining about things you know nothing about. Stop slamming people for refusing to put up with crime and potentially dangerous antisocial behavior. I applaud this woman for having the courage to take the picture and go to the police.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;You&apos; re lucky that you think it&apos;d be going such a long way to prove that this mans&apos; behavior could be a gateway to rape. Not everyone is so lucky. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Once again, Donny Deutsch has divided our community with
a harmful, self-promoting advertising campaign.
And for what? To sell some lousy cell phones?
It is an outrage and it must stop.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;he didn&apos;t rape her. he didn&apos;t restrain or torture her. he didn&apos;t threaten to do anything to her. he jerked off in public. creepy and disturbing, yes, but you&apos;d need to go a long way to prove that behavior is a gateway to rape. people have fetishes and public exposure is one. reporting it is fine, but bitching that the cops didn&apos;t take it seriously enough because it was so traumatic is where i take a different perspective.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;Everybody knows that reporting &apos;petty&apos; crimes and prosecuting offenders lowers overall crime.&quot;

The No-Shit-O-Meter just went off the scale with that comment.

Through all the bullshit that’s been posted, the woman in the end did the right thing, even though I made her the butt of my many jokes. Even if it didn’t offend or bother the person being flashed or masturbated to, why not spare another stranger the same fate?

<description>&lt;p&gt;I am a survivor of rape incest  and torture, on the streets and in my home,  and motherfuckers like that have been traumatizing me since I was 3 motherfucking years old.  Even if it is not traumatic for you there are a lot of people, men AND women, who it would be very traumatic for and that&apos;s just a fact. And I know from personal experience that when a guy gets used to exposing himself to you and gets away with it he&apos;s gonna move on to other things pretty quick. I&apos;ve known that since I was three years old. Fuck you. And to Suzy: I have a nice life thank you very much and it doesn&apos;t include EVER having ANYONE man OR woman EVER hurt me again sexually in any way  and get away with it no matter how &quot;no big deal&quot; it may seem to you.

<description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s so funny how law-abiding people are so willing to shit all over other law-abiding people and victims of crimes, whether they&apos;re disturbing yet minor offenses like this or more serious things like murder. Meanwhile, at the end of the day, we all suffer at the hands of the &apos;harmless&apos; pervs, the rapists and the murderers. I guess as long as idiots like the ones in this forum go out of their way to shout down those who actually stand up for themselves, crime will continue. Everybody knows that reporting &apos;petty&apos; crimes and prosecuting offenders lowers overall crime. So shut up, insensitive asses. Stop trying to prove how &quot;city&quot; you are.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;wow, bridget is maaad. it&apos;s a body part that half the human population has. yeah, it&apos;s creepy to expose it in public and even worse to masturbate but to claim that is traumatizing is just pathetic. i guess we have different standards for what trauma means.

&apos;captive victim&apos;... whatever. there&apos;s nothing &apos;faux tough guy&apos; about my opinion miss militant potty-mouth. it&apos;s just not that big of a deal in the scheme of things. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt; A celebrity exposing her breast on a stage has nothing to do with a man exposing his penis and masturbating in front of a woman on a subway train. THe former is  called a performance, which implies that the audience members have at least some choice in the matter, ie they agreed to be performed for. The nature of sexual abuse assault whatever(which includes exposing of your penis against her will) is that the victim has NO CHOICE and the man is using her without her permission to get off sexually. And yeah my name is Bridget. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I was thinking on ways to improve security on subway cars and was thinking of installing security cameras on subway cars but instead of an old camera and tape recording device, I recommend a digital device like a digital camera.  Instead of a blurry tape, you have a digital image which can be expanded and magnified.  This security camera could however be criticized as a violation of civil liberties or something.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Since he&apos;s sitting right by a subway door, I would spray him with Pepper spray and run out as the doors are closing.
this is assuming I&apos;m sitting right across from him and therefore next to a subway door, too.
that&apos;s a pretty good picture from a camera phone, which one is it?

<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope none of your daughters, sisters, or mothers end up in the same car as some dude who is jerking off.  Would you tell them to calm down, stop bothering the police, and get over it?Nobody should be subjected to that crap on the subway - what other recourse does a woman have but to go to the police?  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;This is scary because statistically many rapists expose themselves to women, sometimes in various settings, before going on to commit rapes. It&apos;s like not getting in trouble for jerking off in public makes them less afraid to go on to commit more horrible crimes. So, it may not seem like a big deal, but it can be a precursor to assault and rape. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Whatev you are are totally fucking creepy and insensitive a motherfucker exposes his penis on the train in front of a woman and that&apos;s no big deal???? That is total harrassment and is very traumatic and horrible to be forced to watch someone masturbate and expose himself to you  against your will. Who in the hell are you to judge what is traumatic to a woman especially if as I suspect you are a man. I hate that fucked up faux tough guy attitude &quot; find a real crime&quot; whatever so I suppose any man can whip out his motherfucking penis in front of any woman and if she complains or seeks to get him to stop then she is &quot;bothering&quot; the police. Looks like females are going to have to take the law in their own hands so all you motherfuckers better watch out. No motherfucker is going to expose himself in front of me that is exploitation of a captive victim. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey keep an eye out for Missed Connection on CraigsList.

&quot;Hi, I saw you on the R train at 3pm on friday.  We made eye contact a couple of times.  I wanted to show my interest in you by showing you my member and what we could do if we went out.  You seemed to enjoy it so much that you took a picture of me.  I guess you were shy or running late because you ran off the train at 34th St.  I didn&apos;t get a chance to say hi.  Write me if that was you...&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;This guy looks like the guy on the &quot;40 year old virgin&quot; posters. I am wagering that this is just another viral marketing campaign cooked up by Donny Deutsch. He probably unleashed four or five public masterbators on the subway to promote the film. I would expect more of this in the next couple of weeks. This is more effective than his giant popsickle campaign.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Sweet! BrooklynGirl caught an old-school flasher the same way not long ago. Let&apos;s hear it for cellphone-cam vigilantes! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;She should’ve at least have given the man her number. Seems like he liked her.

Another Matchmaking Possibility!

<description>&lt;p&gt;lol What a Nark. 

&quot;The policewoman wrote down my description of the man and I asked her if she wanted the picture but she didn&apos;t take it.&quot;

She obviously had more important things to do, like looking out for REAL crimes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;This happened to me on Saturday night!  I yelled at him and said &quot;Can&apos;t you just wait until you get home?!&quot; and moved to the next car.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>
