A guy used to do that in the kids section of our public library. I was too young to know I was supposed to tell. I was mainly scared and disgusted in a fascinated sort of way.
I think it had a negative impact on my sexuality as a whole. It wasn't just one time or anything. He was there all the time. And since I had the run of the whole library at a young age, sometimes he would follow me and do it in the next aisle. I knew what he was doing, sort of. But didn't really. I didn't know what to tell anyone, or how to prove it.
So I just stuck to the public areas once I knew he was around.
It was awful, because we went there at least once a week, often more. And he'd sometimes arrive when I was already there, so I didn't know to stay in the open.
Not sure he was mentally ill, though. In fact, I think probably not.
