15:5071566I was surprised by one in London once, and simply sighed and said "I've seen bigger in a chip pan" and kept walking. I was quite pleased with that.

18:2871597When I was a kid there was a bloke walking down the street (Hobart Crescent where I lived as a kid), he was stark naked - not a stitch on him - and of course being followed and taunted by all the kids. All the mums came running out (yep, including mine) for a look, but as he wandered off, bobbing left-to-right like a little pendulum sausage, we all wondered who he was, where he was going, and if he knew he'd forgotten to get dressed! To this day nobody seems to know who he was.

18:4571604When I was at school in London we had a flasher who stood opposite our classroom at lunchtimes. We reported him after a few weeks

and he was arrested.
Now I'd probably whip out my camera, I'm sure that would send him running!
I did have one guy contact me a couple of years ago about sending me some photos for my cemetery photography website. He sent me some photos of himself in a cemetery all right - naked photos, Needless to say I didn't put them up!!

19:2771619When I was very young, my friend and I saw a flasher in some bushes but we were too young to realize what he was doing.
I love your reply Bern.

19:3171620There was of course the tale of the two female pensioners sitting on a bench in Pencester Gardens when a flasher strolled by.
Apparently one of them had a stroke...........
but the other couldn't reach.

Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

you say that you were too young to know what he was doing.
did you think that he was offering you one of his cigarettes?

20:4371627Many years ago we used to play football in Holland,we went to Deventer not far from where we were staying in Twello,on the way home after a few drinks we had to go by the Red light district,as we walked by above were a load of bushes where the perverts hid,well this car came round the corner as we passed and we saw this man's face.
Next day the football went well and we won the tournament,they brought out this man to present the trophy and we recognised him as the man in the bushes,my captain refused to go and shake hands with him,and we sent up one of the lads who hadn't seen him,he never worked out why he went up and not the Captain.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

20:5671628Personally I've never understood how anyone could possibly get a kick out of it.
I've always stuck to the adage 'if you've got a good product then you don't need to advertise'.

your captain was quite correct, in his place i would have expected to see a certificate to show that he had washed his hands the previous evening.

21:3971633I've never seen a pink cigarette

.
I only realized what he was doing when I was quite a bit older, I had no brothers so I was very innocent, as we were back then.

12:2271657I've never quite worked out what they (the flashers) get out of this. Do they expect the flashee to go "wow! I want some of that?" I think they are very sad and sorry people, but I wonder whether there is proof that this sort of behaviour can lead to something worse?

12:2571658There is - as with any deviant behaviour, however mild, there is evidence that it escalates to meet the increasing need for whatever it feeds in the first place. Like with peeping toms who go on to commit rape and the bunny-stranglers who kill people in the end. Have met quite a few who followed predictable paths.

12:2971663i thought that research showed flashers and knicker knickers usually kept to their hobby but never did anything more.
certainly the kids that harm animals usually move onto humans later.
