I screamed and ran the other way. I never reported it because I was afraid he would hunt me down and hurt me. Now I'm wondering if there would have been a better way to handle it. My friend said she would have insulted him or laughed in his face. A. An exhibitionist, or flasher, is a person who exposes his genitals to unsuspecting strangers for the purpose of his sexual arousal or gratification.
Most exhibitionists are men.
It is thought that exhibitionists engage in these behaviors as a way of expressing their anger or hatred of women. Some enjoy the risk of being caught, and this heightens their sexual arousal. They are usually shy, passive men who lack normal sexual and social skills. They tend to have a lot of self-doubt and feelings of inferiority, which makes it extremely difficult for them to have actual contact, sexual or otherwise, with women. This is why it would be unlikely that he would hunt you down to hurt you.
