gaze police
My current girlfriend is not the jealous type and we check out girls and guys together all the time. It feels great not to have to hide my curiosity and interest in my human environment. I can be honest and so can she. What is the point of putting on the blinders or faking that we are not distracted by the beauty of others? I prefer to work on the insecurities behind any desire for a gaze monogamous relationship rather than participate in any gaze police preoccupation. My most relaxing experience was on the Paris Metro, those starring unashamedly outnumbered those looking down or out the window, pretending they were alone.
