Exposing yourself



It happened to a friend of mine just a few weeks ago: without expecting anything like this, she walked homewards, passing a church (yes, it happened in front of a church). When she looked to the right, she suddenly spotted a man. A naked man, that is, holding his trenchcoat open en exposing himself completely to her. Fortunately, she wasn't all that shocked and merely bursted into laughter, but it is a bit odd thing to do, isn't it? My friend said that this man was just standing there, not saying anything, without any expression on his face, just holding his coat open. What could have driven him to do this? I have seen in happening with drunk people, but there are enough people in the world who soberly feel the urge to show other people their nakedness. So... why? Is it about the shock they create, is it a proof of their confidence, what drives them? Nowadays you can put anything you like on the internet, so I suggest that those exposers try to keep it on the internet and off the streets.
