A typical response by a gawker to the sight of a nude body
Are you a gawker?
A gawker is someone who stares at or gives
unwanted attention to people who are participating in nude recreation. Gawkers
are attracted to nudity like flies are to s**t. You can see them at nude
beaches looking down upon nude sunbathers with high powered binoculars from the
cliffs above. They stroll up and down the shores of nude beaches (I call them
drive-bys) looking at the nude people lying on their towels. They may even come
up to a sunbather and strike up a conversation, all the while looking at the
genitals or breasts of the person they’re talking to. The worse type of gawker
uses a hidden camera to take voyeur photos of unsuspecting nude
sunbathers.
There are gawkers at naturist clubs and resorts
as well. They’re only participating in nude recreation to look at nude people
for their own sexual gratification.
You’d think I’d be angry at these people.
However, in hindsight, I pity them. Imagine living such a shallow existence
chasing their sexuality around like a drug addict chases their next fix.
Gawkers make fools of themselves in public, harass people, and all the while
really not getting anywhere.
So the question is: are you a gawker?
Gawker Behavior:
1. Staring. How would you feel being stared at?
Focusing on the breasts or genitals of other people while talking to them.
2. Unwanted attention. Not giving people their space. Bothering people. Too
friendly and friendliness is not reciprocated.
3. Going to naturist areas or venues just to see nude people.
4. Taking people’s photos without permission.
5. Sex driven.
How to Not to be a Gawker:
1. Don’t stare at people. When speaking to a
nude person, look at their eyes, not their breasts or genitals.
2. Give people their space. Attention is reciprocated.
3. Stop equating nudity with sexuality. A nude person is not an invitation for
sexual activity or advances.
4. Ask yourself why your participating in nude recreation or going to that nude
beach. If your honest with yourself and come to the realization that you’re in
nude recreation for the wrong reasons, maybe nude recreation is not for you.
5. Respect others, and yourself.
