NATUREFREEDOM: ARE YOU A GAWKER?


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.
