I was nineteen traveling on vacation in Mexico with my family. I love photography and veered off the path by myself for about an hour to take pictures of the beautiful city around me. I kept noticing a car driving slowly behind me then passing when I turned to look. Finally the third time the car came around I saw that it was a local man following me while masturbating as he drove. I quickly ran to find my family feeling absolutely sick to my stomach but didn’t tell them for ten years because I was so ashamed and thought it was my fault as a clueless young tourist.
