James Gathercole, 39, deliberately placed himself in the eyeline of the 27 year-old and 19 year-old victims on suburban services in south-west London.
He pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court to two counts of exposure and also received a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
The court heard Gathercole committed both offences on Sunday, May 26.
The first occurred at 3.20pm on a train from Motspur Park Station to Wimbledon Station.
He sat opposite the 27 year-old and proceeded to masturbate and expose himself.
Later that evening at 7.20pm Gathercole boarded a train at West Sutton Station towards London Blackfriars and sat near the 19 year-old.
Again he proceeded to pleasure himself before getting up and walking through the carriage.
After viewing CCTV and a clip that one of the victims recorded, the investigating officer was able to identify Gathercole as the suspect.
Investigating officer DC Potter said: “Gathercole has acted in a disgusting manner choosing the young women to target.
“The SHPO will ensure he is not able to target anyone again and should allow for him be able to learn from his actions.
"We take all reports of sexual assault seriously and with the full support of victims in such cases this shows the positive results we are able to achieve."
The SHPO prevents Gathercole from :
Traveling on the Underground railway network or enter any railway Station unless he has notified his allocated offender manager.
Approach, follow, touch or make any attempts to communicate with any lone female (previously unknown to him).
Undo, loosen, or remove, totally or partially, any item of clothing below the waist, whilst in any public place.
Touch himself in any way that would be considered lewd or obscene.
