He didn't just whip it out and start masturbating. He planned the assaults. Got in front of any means of egress(for the victim), undressed(again, while blocking the door), and forced them to watch him jerk off. I do hate how this is blown off just because he is a man whose comedy they like. He knew the power dynamic, abused it to get them into the apartment, and assumed his power in that realm would protect him. Real POS moves, at least.
