Nothing Came Close to This

This is a blog I wrote about something that happened to me on Friday, March 9, at about 9:30 AM on the 4/5 train.

The 4/5 was really crowded this morning. I shoved my way on and buried my nose in the book I'm reading. As the train slowed down to stop at Union Square, I decided to put away my book.

As I closed my book, I happened to look slightly down and to my left. And I saw a man's penis, EJACULATING on the back of a poor unsuspecting girl's black down jacket as she faced the other way. The man was AIMING it for this poor girl's back. I gasped and flung myself backward away from the man as the doors opened and this disgusting, dirty man exited the train. - just a regular, disgusting pig of a man who probably does this every morning to some poor girl who happens to be facing the other way. He looked to be about thirty years old.

I don't know what happened to the girl afterward - I looked for her, but I was so shaken up as people at Union Sq. entered and exited the train, that I don't know where she went.

So some poor girl is now walking the streets of New York, with some disgusting man's semen spread all over the back of her black down jacket. The thought of it makes my stomach turn.
She'll probably notice it in a few days and think it was anything but what it really is.

So girls -- WATCH OUT ON CROWDED TRAINS. This could've been me, you, or anyone. I've had guys rub up against me before and try to grab my ass on the train, but nothing ever came (no pun intended) close to this.
