No one is saying that voluntarily flashing in private is wrong. When it's done in public, whether voluntary or not, is going to make some people uncomfortable and create an environment where manners and etiquette are altered from the norm.
I actually don't care personally and even if they were having public sex, it wouldn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is that some women (maybe even a minority) feel uncomfortable and threatened by the flashing and the behavior it leads to. That should be reason alone to make it a no-no (whether completely voluntary or coerced by peer pressure).

Why does it matter if people feel uncomfortable or threatened? A big man with tattoos and a leather jacket make some people feel uncomfortable or threatened. Does that mean he shouldn't dress this way? A middle aged man without a shirt on makes some people uncomfortable. Doesn't mean it should be illegal to not wear a shirt.
Almost every situation we put ourselves in that result in personal improvement involve some level of feeling uncomfortable and threatened.
Merely making people uncomfortable is not a reason to ban or oppose something. You need a much better reason than this to oppose flashing or any other behavior on the red mile.
That there is an actual threat that results from this behavior is reason to oppose it, but not merely feeling threatened or uncomfortable.
