Apparent Divinyls fan arrested after train from Lowell pulls into North Station
By adamg on Tue, 02/12/2013 - 9:43am
Transit Police report arresting a Boston man on charges he openly masturbated on an inbound Lowell Line train yesterday evening.
According to police, a woman on the train, due into Boston at 6:25 p.m., was minding her own business when she noticed some movement in the seat across the aisle from hers:
[Mehmet] Beyaztas was masturbating and looking in her direction. Beyaztas made no attempt to conceal and/or be covert in his actions and his penis was fully exposed. The reporting party moved away from Beyaztas and reported the incident to train personnel.
Police say they were waiting at the station when the train pulled in and that Beyaztas, 24, made an unsuccessful effort to run away. He's scheduled for arraignment today on a charge of open and gross lewdness.
Innocent, etc.

I wonder who
I wonder who he was thinking about when he touched himself..
Some people like trains
Some people like trains and others like feet. The Lowell line isn't the Orient Express, but some just have to make do. If trains didn't have any sexiness, why would anyone put up with the T???
WTF?!
HA HA HA! Oh man that was funny.

its Divinyls.. :)
Arrgh
I blame several years living on Vinal Street in Brighton - I am now constitutionally unable to correctly spell anything related to any words with "vinyl" in them.
I only know this
because I had it as a Cassette Maxi Single and I broke the tape by playing it so much.. or my dad cut it because he was so sick of hearing that song.
Then again, I was twelve at that time and just learning to 'touch myself'.. OVERSHARE!!!
Don't you think they should change it to vinyl street
Probably more appropriate with all the siding
Heh, but no
It's all brick apartment buildings, basically.
What is it about guys and
What is it about guys and trains? I had a guy I'd estimate in his 50's do this to me on a train in Provence a few years ago when I was traveling alone. And, I was in my 40's at the time, a mother of three. I've never understood why guys do this. Weird and gross. NOT attractive or appealing at all, if that's what they're thinking. Geesh.
At least the third time!

Eeka is right
its exhibitionism.. Some reason some people just get off 'exposing themselves' to others. Its a thrill seeker I guess.
Think of it similar to people who have a fetish with having sex in public places (that purposely do it for the thrill). The thrill of being seen and possibly caught is what turns them on.
of course now this guy is going to be listed on the sex offender registry. Kinda feel sorry for him, he'll be out of work, out of a place to live, must register and do treatment classes. All because he wanted to stroke his johnson in public.
What is it about women that
What is it about women that makes them think that this is a normal male compulsion? Every public place has freaks. Trains are no exception.
I think you're missing the point
This isn't about attracting a women.
In reality, has ANY lady ever said "Hey wanna f*ck* to some guy who was exposing himself to them on a train. NEVER.
It has nothing to do with the opposite sex or trying to attract them (unlike most things people do, which is to attract a mate).
This is PURE thrill, plain and simple.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that women are the targets for this because the perp is heterosexual. I don't remember.... in recent memory I've ever heard of a guy doing this to another guy (that wasn't in a gay bar). Why? There's no thrill in it. Gay men would just watch intently (I'm gay, I speak from experience.. it doesn't matter how ugly the guy is.. a d*ck is a d*ck is a d*ck no matter what is attached to, and IMHO gay men are pigs)
Tunnels
Look at it this way, imagine if the situation was reversed, it probably wouldn't even be a crime.
There must be some pathological complement to this for women, probably has nothing to do with sex.
Um, yeah, it would be
Consider the case of Ria Ora. Granted, no sexual component or compulsion to what she was doing, but naked is naked.
IMO, there's a big difference
IMO, there's a big difference between dancing naked in a busy public square and exposing yourself on a train. I can almost guarantee that the police wouldn't be pursuing the case if it were a woman.
Hey, It's Mardi Gras!
Maybe on a different day, it would. In certain places at certain events on Fat Tuesday? Lots of beads!
It's about power over women
The power to shock and offend, mostly. What thrills these guys is the shocked reactions they get. If you act shocked and offended, you're just giving them what they want.
Admittedly, it'd probably take a fair bit of presence-of-mind not to. The one woman I ever knew who told me a combat story about, pardon the expression, pulling that off was someone who was (1) a seen-it-all New Yorker since the 70s and (2) a medical professional, a nurse IIRC, so male anatomy had no capacity to shock or offend her.
I'm inclined to think the best thing to do would be to point and laugh--"hey, wow, just like a real one, only in miniature!"--but maybe I'm just horribly immature. Or I've read too much Spider Robinson. On a more serious note, I'm also not sure to what extent a flasher might be likely to turn simple exposure into a physical confrontation.
Obviously, cell phone cameras make great evidence-gatherers if you want to pursue a police complaint.
Apparently this isn't his
Apparently this isn't his first time.

But it is an "itch"
what a jerk.
that's what.....ah never mind.
He didn't have pull
Not with the conductors, anyway.
At least he's showing
a little initiative.
I hope he at least finished
I hope he at least finished his business. Getting arrested for unsuccessful public masturbation would be the worst.
Would make him a wanker
Yeah, he'd be a toss for not finishing, though saving taxpayers from yet another slip and fall lawsuit.
