Exposing/Flashers

[Deliainthemaking]

I've always been curious why would anyone do this and what are the effects on victims.
This stirred from a jeremy kyle episode (I know, I know )
and a womans boyfriend had been exposing himself to her Mother! under the guise of flying low.
If someone flashed at me I'd probably be more bemused. like wtf just happened? sort of reaction. ther was one lad at school who just got out his BS over his jeans, not sur if that counts lol.
Just wondering if anyone has had this experience??
I'm geniunely curious, would you feel intimidated, or a bit bemused??

I saw that episode as well and thought it a very strange thing for him to do - and to lie so blatantly about it.

I've not seen JK for about 4 years. I don't know what a BS is either, but, I have been flashed numerous times.
I was told by my mum to point and laugh, I am not sure whether that was good advice but I don't seem to have been traumatised by seeing all the genitalia I have.

I've been flashed countless times - went to a girls' school and they often climbed over the walls to give us a flash.

The few times it has happened as an adult I've just ignored them. They're after the shock reaction, and if you don't give it to them they are disappointed and leave you alone. Once in Barcelona one kept coughing to get my attention - he couldn't seem to grasp that I wasn't remotely bothered.
