A Wollongong exhibitionist caught intentionally masturbating in front of workers at a McDonald's drive-thru told police committing sex acts in public turned him on.

Daniel Smits, 28, apparently gave arresting officers a detailed explanation of the sexual fetish, commonly known as “dogging”, saying he received sexual gratification from performing sex acts in front of others and saw no problem with his actions.

However, both women who fell victim to Smits’ lewd behaviour felt very differently, telling police they were “disgusted” by his antics and the encounters had left them “rattled”.

Smits, from Keiraville, was charged with two counts of committing an act of indecency, to which he pleaded guilty.
