parking area, amsterdamse bos, amsterdam, netherlands
getting out of my car in an almost deserted parking area, my attention was drawn to a dark blue seat parked at the far end. i noticed the vehicle only because it's headlights flashed at me. at first i thought i had left my car lights on, but this wasn't the case, so i walked over to see 'what was up'. approaching the car, i noticed only a driver, so i walked up to an open driver's side window and to my surprise, there was a man inside with his pants open and masturbating. he asked me if i would like to watch him masturbate. without hesitation, i took out my camera and said that i wanted to take pictures. he didn't seem to mind, so i photographed and he masturbated. a few minutes later, another car entered the parking area. the man i was photographing quickly and clumsily pulled up his pants and drove off.
a strange experience indeed.
