How to react when surprised by a flasher

A couple of days ago I read an interesting article in a local newspaper. A girl was walking in a local park when she was suddenly surprised by a young man with his pants down. He shamelessly started to masturbate in front of her. She did not panic and reacted by taking her cell phone and trying to take a picture. Unfortunately, she did not manage to do so, as he immediately pulled up his pants and fled like a rabbit. It is understandable, he did not want to have pictures of his filthy private parts posted all over the interned and maybe to appear in the TV news. She reacted cool headed and it worked for her, the pictures could help to identify him by the police. However, in the discussion there were some controversies if this should be the recommended reaction to such a situation. Some argued that this might made him angry and maybe violently attacking her and harming her. 

A man with his pants down 
is extremely vulnerable. 
Flashers, exhibitionists 
and public onanists 
can be easily eliminated.

The question is, is there a better woman's response action to this? Two years ago, I actually read a very similar story, but the outcome was different. A flasher accosted a young woman in the woods, the unexpected sight of his penis made her to fell down and he approached her closer. When he leaned over her, she suddenly swung her leg and forcefully kicked his exposed freely dangling testicles using her instep. His reaction was predictable. He just cried and folded over in incredible pain. She could get up and run to safety. I have to say that both women should be praised for their actions, but I liked the second approach more. A flasher always exposes his most vulnerable part giving you a chance for quick and easy immobilisation and total elimination of any threat he can pose. And you can take a picture of him then if you want. If you have any thought on this please post them in the comments below

  1. This reminds me of a really nasty incident that happened to me about 5 years back.

    I was walking home from the town center one night by myself (which I almost never do if it’s dark, but I lost my friends in town and just figured it was fairly unlikely anything bad would happen).

    I was close to home when this weird guy approached me on an empty street. He was wearing a big trenchcoat and was kinda stumbling as he walked, obviously quite drunk. As he got near to me, he opened his trenchcoat to reveal that he was completely naked underneath (I’ve since learned that this is apparently a common method of certain kinds of pervert, something I was quite happy being ignorant about).

    I tried to just push past him and keep walking but he grabbed me by the hair and pushed me into a wall and then told me to touch his body. When I refused and kept trying to escape, he grabbed my top and pulled it down to expose my breasts. That made my adrenaline kick in and I started getting incredibly angry and trying to hit him in the face and eyes so I could escape. I got incredibly lucky, probably because of how drunk he was, and managed to gouge one of his eyes (or near enough) which made him scream and pull back.

    I had a bit of space, but wasn’t sure I could escape given that I was in high heels, so I took the opportunity and while he was a couple of feet away from me, I kicked him as hard as I could in the balls. His legs were wide open, and obviously his genitals were exposed so I really managed to connect well and he immediately collapsed on the floor and started making a kind of crying sound, allowing me to escape (after taking my heels off). He thankfully didn’t manage to get up to come after me. We did go and talk to the police about it the next day but I had so little information about him given how dark it was, that there was really nothing they could do.

    I think what gave me the confidence to go for the kick like that was entirely down to just having grown up with 4 older brothers, who treated me like a 5th brother for most of our teenage years (a lot of play-fighting and aggression). So whilst it was the first time I’d been in any serious danger like that, it definitely wasn’t the first time I’d put a guy on the floor by smashing his jewels. I think I’ve used it on 3 out of my 4 brothers. All react pretty similarly and it generally leads to me winning whatever fight we’re having.

    1. Hi Jane. Thank you for the amazing story. Kudos to you for defending yourself so effectively; it's very inspiring. It is quite ironic that a flasher exposes his genitals and, hence, his most vulnerable part. It is almost like asking to get some nice treatment of the testicles ;) Also, growing up with brothers definitely has some advantages. Kind regards, Wendy
