Flashing etc

I was walking home today and thought I saw a man ‘playing with himself’ in a car I was passing.  Turns out he wasn’t, but it got me thinking about the times I have been flashed at or had similar horrible experiences.  I can remember at least 5 examples …

1. Sitting on a train in Italy waiting for it to go (circa 1992).  I looked out of my window to a train opposite that was also in the station.  The curtains in the compartment were closed and a man’s willy was being poked through the closed curtains by a hand.  Presumably he was also peeking through the curtains to gauge my reaction, although I didn’t see his face.

2. Playing tennis in a park in North London (couple of years ago).  Man sitting on a bench next to the court, watching me and my friend whilst wanking.  My friend reported him when she was back at work the next day.  Ha!

3. In a swimming pool changing room in Grenoble (circa 1996).  This wasn’t actually flashing but was a horrible experience.  I had just got undressed after swimming when I looked down and saw a hand coming under the wall of my cubicle – holding a mirror and adjusting it to get a better view!  Actually, I’m presuming it was a man as it was a mixed changing room, but may not have been.

4. Flashed at in Morocco last year.

5. On a train carriage by myself , 2007, (this one was quite scary actually).  Man got on a train, whistled at me, I looked up and he had his penis out and was doing the deed.  Horrible man.  He had a Dalmatian dog and a bike with him, so was probably easily identifiable on CCTV.  I didn’t end up reporting it, though.

That seems quite a lot to me.  (Although, what do I know – maybe it’s the norm??).  Have other people (women) had as many similar experiences as me or have I just been unlucky?
