What type of sexual offenses are most common?
The most frequent sexual offenses reported in one study were indecent exposure, other minor offenses, and sexual assault of young girls (Day, 1997). Another nationwide study that surveyed 243 community agencies found the most common sexual offenses were inappropriate sexual behavior in public (62.2%), sexual behaviors and stimulation that inappropriately involved others (42.6%), sexual activity involving minors (42.6%) and assaultive/nonconsensual sexual activity not involving minors (34.5%) (Ward et al, 2001). Another study found the most common sexual behaviors are those seen among people without developmental disabilities - offenses against children, genital exposure and rape (Murphy, et al., 1983).
Such behavior often stems from not having enough opportunities for appropriate sexual expression, ignorance of what is considered appropriate, inadequate social education and poorly developed or absent self-control. Other factors include:
Lack of information about or opportunities for sexual expression and intimacy
Lack of social skills and training on appropriate/safe sexual behavior and building relationships resulting in a significant lack of sexual knowledge
A history of sexual or physical abuse (research shows a higher rate of sexual victimization among people with developmental disabilities compared to those without disabilities)
Exposure to violence and/or pornography
Socioeconomic factors
Pervasive use of restriction in daily life
Limited or no available sexual partners
Difficulty projecting consequences of behavior
Difficulty recognizing and expressing emotions
Significant others deny the behavior is happening (Nezu et al., 1998).

Any Sexual Assault, & yes exposing yourself to another without permission, is a Sexual Assault, has more to do with Control & Power. They are saying I have control over you at this moment, & you can't stop me or do anything about it. Its a Power Trip for the person doing the exposing and an overt display of Contempt for the person they are exposing themselves to. They are saying in effect, "I am Everything & you are Nothing. You must endure and put up with this act even if you don't want to, or find it offensive."

Exposure is simply for attention. Why do thousands of people go and lift up their shirt or pull down their pants at big events or large groups of people? Attention. Sex sells and people know that when they do something drastic (which isn't so drastic anymore) like revealing any body part then someone will be looking at them for a period of time. It's just for attention.

Just 'cause they don't LOOK like complete losers, doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't.
Wouldn't you agree that once the guy has gone & exposed himself in public that he is MAKING himself look like a complete loser?
For it to happen to you in such a short time span, I figure that you must live in an area heavily populated by jerks.
You are probably a very attractive woman, & these morons think that you will want to meet them if you like what they think, is their most attractive feature.

You're probably hot, some guys aren't that bright, and they think, lets whip it out and show it to the pretty girl. I hope this helps.
