Sohail Amiri, 30, is accused of approaching a woman and trying to kiss her in Upper Shaftesbury Avenue on Tuesday.
He also faces two sexual assault charges relating to incidents on 23 September, when he allegedly made inappropriate comments and approaches to two women in Westwood Road.
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: “Officers investigating three reports of sexual assaults on women in Portswood and Bevois have charged a man.
“The charges follow an incident which occurred in Upper Shaftesbury Avenue in the early hours of Tuesday.
“It was reported a woman was walking along the road just after midnight when she was approached by a man she did not know who is alleged to have then tried to kiss her.
“She was able to force him off and run away.”
