I have just read in yesterday's standard how Italy's court of appeal has issued an edict forbidding men to scratch their genitalia in public! They have ruled that blatant scratching/holding of testicle is an act contrary to decorum and public decency.
After witnessing a man literally stroking himself inside his trousers on a packed bendy bus 
...i must agree it is totally disgusting and indecent. His friend carried on chatting to him for the whole 25 minutes seemingly oblivious or ignoring the incident.
It makes me think that it is this kind of man who is unable to restrain himself in public that might be liable to predatory crimes such as flashing,stalking and raping.the other extreme could be that this is a comforting measure akin to sucking one's thumb......
Who knows......
