Public masturbation and exhibitionism have soared in New York City by 51 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. Of course, it’s the lax laws. The mentally ill, homeless, drug addicts, and wholly deranged people aren’t imprisoned, and there are no mental facilities for them.

According to the New York Post, police data showed that in 2024 through June, there has been a 51 percent increase in reports of masturbating in public in comparison to 2023.
