A Guy Without Boxers!

Prologue:

My identical twin brother, Alex, and I have always used the term “guy without boxers” to refer to anyone naked/nude. Our source of communication is through manual (sign) language which happens to be visible to everyone around us. This “code” we engaged in prevented others from interpreting our conversation between one another and our closest friends. As an additional safeguard, we signed the phrase using Greek sign language instead of American sign language.

Introduction:

Our header (opening image) today should most definitely qualify for some type of historic distinction and honour. It was the official picture used to represent my initial (first) blog here: A Guy Without Boxers! The blog that wordpress.com arbitrarily deleted without any caution, correspondence, explanation, notice, lecture, threat or warning. As a matter of fact, they never responded to any of my letters (emails) demanding (requesting) a reason.

This image, when I first encountered it, caught my attention because of the phrase “a guy without boxers.” Boxer shorts (underwear) have forever been my favourite style of undergarment – if and when I decided that I needed to wear any!

Now, as I was publishing and writing my own blog, A Guy Without Boxers, I often questioned my choice of this picture for two specific reasons:

First, was he removing his pair of boxers or was he donning (putting on) his pair of boxers?

Second, was he embarrassed about his nudity or was he proud of his body?

In dealing with these questions, I was certain that he was both confident and proud to be a bare practitioner. That was my basis for “adopting” his photograph as the designated representation of my initial blog. I also sentimentally restore his image to “our” site – ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! this month! Welcome home, my old friend!

Footnote #1: Ever since Alex and I acknowledged our same gender love (SGL) and attraction back when we were in our early teenage years, I was never limited in my desires based on ethnicity or race. The guy featured in this photo represented a mixed racial heritage.

As I continued to publish my first blog, I identified – over time – a “missing element” from my chosen photo. I knew his gender – male – but no sight of his buttocks nor his penis. Several of my followers at that time also moted this absence. As a result, I began collecting images of men, alone or as a couple/group, that plainly showed their gender anatomy.

Authenticity supports credibility! This early blog site soon featured numerous photographs of various men with their anatomy in full view – with or obviously without their boxers or any other type of undergarment!

Footnote #2: The more pictures of men presented on the original blogsite, ethnic and racial identity was soon forgotten. Diversity prevailed!

My Initial Experience:

A Guy Without Boxers introduced me into the social media world and I thoroughly enjoyed the research, the development, the sharing and the publishing. The response from the SGL population was incredible and overwhelming simultaneously! It also changed my life as it led me into meeting, dating, building a relationship and then marrying my spouse, Aaron! He’s “the man” who supported and urged my return to blogging and is the archivist/editor of the gallery of images here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

To be honest, Aaron is the inspiration for adding the commando (underwear freedom) component to this site. He also is a major bare practitioner initiator and motivator here. The compatibility of the .gif image below is due to his development and efforts. ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! all the way!

Boxers off!

This image is a complete summary of the title and purpose of my original blog, A Guy Without Boxers as well as this current one. One glance and the message is both bold and clear. There is no doubt whatsoever that this man (guy) is of renude (renewed) pride of his nakedness and is unable to contain his enthusiasm in discarding his underwear! Judging by what is being visually liberated, who can blame him?

Footnote #3: The above .gif image signifies “compliance” with the title/theme of the blog. It is used to encourage guys to feel comfort in visiting this site totally clothes free!

A very subtle but soothing message relayed here. Who’s in the minority now? Same gender love (SGL) and nakedness are indeed truly compatible – as is skinny dipping! The question remains, at what point does the guy in the swim suit realize that he’s the only one wearing any clothing?

Autumn sunshie!

In realigning ourselves with the original title, A Guy Without Boxers, Aaron and I both felt that the combination ReNude Pride plus the updated Guys Without Boxers! would enhance our message, mission and purpose. We are intent on offering a safe and viable space for SGL persons to examine and explore our sexuality and our nakedness in today’s environment in a relaxed, nonjudgmental, nonthreatening and totally accepting manner. In our bare practitioner community and culture, alone or in a crowd, we are all equal and the same, no matter what -if any – type of underwear we may prefer. Our differences are minor while the bonds of our SGL and our nakedness are our shared dynamics and strengths! We are what and who we are and our confidence and our pride in ourselves is exemplary!

Now, relating to our autumn bare practitioner standing in the sunlight above, we’re all hoping for at least one more day of decent and moderate weather before the temperatures take a major dive again!

Naked hugs!

Armistice Day/Remembrance Day!

The signing of the Armistice (cease fire) of 1918 to end the hostilities of the Great War (World War I, 1914 – 1918) on 11:00 a.m., 11 November 1918 effectively ended the greatest war (at that time) humanity had ever engaged. The Central Powers (Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire) and the Allied Powers (Belgium, British Empire and Commonwealth, France, Greece (undeclared), Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, Serbia, USA) halted all belligerent action until the formal surrender of the Central Powers at the Peace Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

Armistice Day (11 November) was internationally observed and annual commemorations began in 1919 and continue to this day. Throughout the Commonwealth, it is officially recognized as Remembrance Day, in honour and tribute to all nationals deceased during wars and primarily featured as a Monday holiday and actually celebrated as Remembrance Sunday.

The remainder of the Allied Powers hold it as Armistice Day. In the USA it is known as Veteran’s Day.

The Red Poppy

Red poppy flowers represent consolation, remembrance and death. The flowering plant is native and dominant in the Flanders region of the Kingdom of Belgium, the scene of numerous battles during the Great War. The landscape there was blasted, bombed and fought over repeatedly – the naturally scenic and tranquil countryside torn apart; barren and bleak where little or nothing could grow except for the red poppy, the resilient native flower flourishing amidst all the chaos and destruction.

Since ancient times in the Roman Empire and possibly earlier, the red poppy placed on graves symbolised eternal sleep and peace. Initially, throughout the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, the red poppy depicted eternal rest on Remembrance Day. Soon, the flower gained worldwide acceptance and recognition for this special and specific purpose. On the occasion of the centennial observance of Armistice Day on 11 November 2018, the Royal Family visited every Commonwealth War Cemetery in Flanders delivering red poppy wreaths in tribute to all the deceased.

In the USA, red poppies are given out on Veteran’s Day as well as in other of the Allied Powers.

Prince William and Princess Katherine place red poppies on a memorial.

In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

the larks, still bravely singing, fly

scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

we lived, fell down, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;

to you from failing hands we throw

The torch, be yours to hold it high;

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

John McCrae was the son of Scottish immigrants and born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1872. In May 1915, he was serving as a physician in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in Flanders, Belgium. On 2 May Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, a Canadian field artillery officer and close friend of McCrae was killed in the Second Battle of Ypres. Shortly afterwards, McCrae wrote the above poem in memory of his lifelong friend and honouring all the war dead.

The poem was first published on 8 December 1915 in London, UK, in the satyrical British magazine, Punch. It was immediately popular and widely circulated and reprinted as a fitting tribute. It was a favourite of King George V and his wife, Queen Mary, grandparents of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

A tribute and a thought for all those who sacrificed.

Autumn = Fall!

Throughout the USA, the colloquial term for the entire autumn season is “fall.” The explanation is simple – it is the time of the year when the leaves on trees change from their customary green into different “fall” (autumn) colours and then they “fall” off the tree. Quite an amount of falling for one brief occasion but the results are horrendous!

Direct. Local. Simple. To-the-point. The leaves F-A-L-L off the limbs of the tree. So why do people here in this country name an entire season over just one single act?

Of course, as the leaves fall from the trees, they create a barren sight that fails to reflect the joy of fulfillment and life! A very noticeable empty landscape! No where local do all the leaves abandon all the all the trees simultaneously! Each species or type of tree adheres to a calendar. Our bromantic couple, above, observe their popular tree with just a few leaves remaining aloft!

Confusion!

Confused!

One natural action defines an entire season. Why devote a period of time for one simple mishap? Why disregard everything else that happens? Is this all that occurs this time of the year?

Think the wind will blow all the fallen leaves away? The stirred air has to carry them somewhere! Forget natural precipitation! Do you think soggy and wet leaves are manageable? They’ll become a cumbersome and heavy load!

My solution!

The man is bare, the tree limbs are barren!

The man, in his nakedness, hanging in the forest above, conveniently off the grounds littered with all the brown and dead leaves, is safe and completely bare! No clothing visible anywhere! And the majority of the tree limbs are barren!

So, instead of Fall, we can change the name of this season to Bare!

Therefore, we can all cavort bare for the entire season! Just imagine, the entire USA clothes free for an entire season of every year!

Our complete nakedness will restore this country to all greatness once again!

Restored balance and greatness!

Naked hugs!

I’m hurrying to get back to celebrate Armistice Day/Remembrance Day!

Friday Footnote: Proof!

Friday Footnote: Proof!

Commando = Underwear free (any style, any type)!

In current usage, the term (word) commando – as it relates to underwear (undergarment) – by definition regards an individual who, by choice or by preference, is not attired (wearing) any style or type of underwear. No boxer style, no briefs, no thong, no bikini, no athletic supporter (jock-strap) no loincloth. Nothing. Nada. No fashion or style of undergarment whatsoever!

My spouse, Aaron, and I are avowed and devoted bare practitioners. We enthusiastically acknowledge and publicly admit to our comfortable and preferred state-of-being, our complete nakedness! If that is not legally possible, our secondary comfort level is commando. We comply with the rule of law of wearing clothing but underneath we are completely free of the confining layer of underclothes known as underwear.

Beneath the covering of our jeans, pants, shorts, or swim suit, we are clothes free, naked, nude. Remove the garment you see adorning our waist and behold: skin!

The body painted penis (above) boldly demonstrates to all underwear freedom! A colourful display, exposed and unzipped!

In the picture above, noted openly gay adult film performer (porn star) Marshall Price, with his athletic shorts dropped below his waistline, proudly demonstrates his commando status! He’s confident of his body and his naked appearance but without any guilt or shame as to his commando portrayal as a photographer here! Obviously, he has no cause for embarrassment!

In the above .gif image, recently returned-to-the-gay-pornography industry features openly same gender loving (SGL) and nakedness proponent actor, escort and model, Dominic Santos, as he poses in commando jeans costume with a fellow actor while allowing him to reach inside his jeans and fondle his penis. Clearly depicting one of the many benefits of the commando lifestyle! Simply unbutton or unzip the fly (opening) and “presto!” Easy access!

In the more recent image offered below, Dominic models his aroused nakedness. He is determined that we are all reminded of his commitment to clothes freedom at every available opportunity! His willingness to perform is commendable!

Late last week, a physician colleague of Aaron’s sent to him the webp. image beneath this paragraph. This professional and his partner both follow here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! and are openly bare practitioner mutual friends of ours. Larry and Wes (first names only) are also an interracial couple, one Black, one White.

Larry thought the scenario might be useful as a resource for this site – a fact that Aaron and I both readily agree! This post entry here today is absolute proof of this reality! Thank you both, Larry and Wes!

Confinement!

Footnote #1: Larry sent this scene to Aaron on Saturday, 31 October. The date of the Halloween event here in the USA. Hence the mask covering the subject’s face! A very scary and restrictive haunting!

The scenario enactment featured above depicts a man, wearing only a pair of underwear briefs who is plainly in the Halloween mode (spirit) with his anonymous headgear (mask). It is visible to everyone that someone away from the camera lens focus has not merely captured his immediate attention but has inspired him into absolute desire and physical excitement! Judging from his penile enlargement in his groin, he is both ready and willing for spontaneous relief!

Painfully and sadly, his massive growth is confined and seriously restricted due to his undergarment! His dilemma and suffering are unfortunately familiar as the majority of us have experienced a similar predicament!

The commando lifestyle would provide him a convenient alternative to his discomfort and frustration! Not only would it afford him an opportunity for instantaneous self-relief, it would also enable him to encourage and invite his inspiration to collaborate in mutual pleasure, release and satisfaction! A winning positive situation for the both of them!

Footnote #2: On a personal notation, I appreciate the fact that Larry and Wes remembered my fascination (obsession) with maschalagnia (men’s hairy armpits)! Thanks, guys!

Indispensable proof that the commando life is an acceptable, accessible and available option for bare practitioners! It offers all of us an attainable and viable solution for a rewarding and richer life! Nakedness matters!

Naked hugs!

I need to investigate the “Proof!” posting!

We Won!

Winner!

The 2026 Election Results Are Announced! We’re So Happy, We have To Be Bare!

Everyone we voted for and all the proposed constitutional amendments were approved! For my spouse, Aaron and I, our choices were identical. The only difference being the passports we used for identification!

Senate:

Warner (Democrat) Re-elected!

Congress:

Beyer (Democrat) Re-elected!

Constitutional Amendment Referendum:

Question #1: Doctor/patient confidentiality; right-to-choose: Yes! Passed!

Question #2: Marriage equality; interracial and same gender: Yes! Passed!

Question #3: Restore prisoner voting rights after incarceration: Yes! Passed!

As to which one of us was the first to discard his clothing upon learning of the election results? It was likely a tie as we were both thrilled! This outcome sends a very important message to the felon-in-chief: the decency and respectability of the constituents of the Commonwealth of Virginia will prevail!

Elections, 2026!

A Gentle Reminder!

VOTE!

This is our opportunity to perform our duty and restore dignity, honesty, integrity and responsibility to our government and to this nation! It is our chance to remind all three branches of our government (executive, judicial and legislative) that they are accountable for all of their respective actions/inactions!

For far too long, under the current national standard, our government is acting without any regards to the people they supposedly represent. Now is the time for us to perform our duty and remind them that they have an obligation to be decent and trustworthy of the obligations they have agreed to provide!

Equality for All!

On the Virginia ballot for this election is a measure to remove the state constitutional amendment that outlawed same gender marriage. The wording of the measure is as follows:

“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to a) remove the ban on same sex marriage, b) affirm that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender or race and c) require all legally valid marriages to be treated equally under the law?”

A vote of yes on this measure ensures the continued legality of marriage equality throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia for all residents. Please vote yes!

A vote of yes rescinds an amendment enacted that restricts the state in recognizing any marriage except ones uniting one man and one woman. Voting yes aligns the Commonwealth of Virginia with the Supreme Court judgments enabling marriage equality throughout the USA and selected dependent territories (colonies).

Therefore, it the current supreme court (intentional lower case) – which is extremely politically influenced and motivated – reverses the decision (as happened recently with the illegality of abortion), the legality of the current ban against marriage equality will not be automatically restored. The entire involved and lengthy process of proposing, voting and public referendum will have to be repeated – again! This additional time could provide room for different justices to assume office.

Once again, please vote yes!

Naked hugs!

A Penny For My Thoughts!

“Social nudity is the exotic exuberance of an excellent natural fashion extravaganza: our nakedness!” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~ 11 April 2022 ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Myself!
Aaron, my spouse, photographed by me!

At times, I’m approached by others and asked about my publicly displaying my clothes freedom for all to see. Most of the time, it is from colleagues at work, students at the university where I lecture or from interns that I mentor. Sometimes, it is from a complete stranger I’ve never seen before. People are much bolder now that we’re settling into the 21st century!

Of course, posting images of my nakedness here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! possibly encourages the interrogation. Honestly, the question doesn’t bother/disturb me. After all, I do publish the material here (unless it is done by my spouse, Aaron)!

Yes, I am “out-of-the-closet” at work. I don’t publicly promote this blog there but I absolutely don’t conceal or deny my authorship. I have several co-workers who regularly visit here and students who do the same. It is no problem professionally and I did get permission from the university administration prior to my initial publication.

I’m just amazed as to why people are so very surprised when they encounter me. True, my pictures posted here do not depict me wearing clothes. So that shouldn’t be the reasoning for their inquiry. After all, this site is identified as one for the bare practitioner community and culture. The photographs featured in the postings leave no doubt as to the intended/projected audience.

The most recent occurrence of this happening was in Richmond, Virginia, USA, two weekends ago. Aaron had to work at hospital and I drove there to spend a couple of hours with my friend, Paul Turner and his partner. We were at Cary Court Shopping Center when this person approached us and Paul served as my interpreter. The exchange was brief and cordial although afterward we did laugh as we recalled the incident.

I compose a blog that encourages nakedness for same gender loving (SGL) people. It confuses me as to how those who are familiar with the content here are curious over my sharing photos of Aaron and I and our indulging in our nakedness!

Naked hugs!

Pumpkin Party!

A smiling pumpkin face adorning his buttocks! A Halloween greeting from both Aaron, my spouse, and I to all of you! We’re not really enthusiastic Halloween celebrants, but we both know that many bare practitioners are excited about this particular occasion. Our best wishes to all of you!

A “live” pumpkin parade stalking down this special sidewalk! They’re both offering their complete nakedness along with their seasonal masks! Fortunately, this special season encourages us all to conceal our identities and to have fun and a good time!

He’s adorned himself as a “pumpkin head!” No other disguise is necessary as his bare practitioner affiliation is confirmed and duly noted by us all! All Halloween guests beware: his pumpkin ghost has yet to appear!

Flying through the air with the greatest haunting breeze available! His pumpkin adorns his backpack as his broom transports him from one Halloween event to another!

Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Strippers!

Halloween is naked on the beach and all along the shore!

Prevention Proposals!

In preparation of the upcoming Halloween observance (31 October, annually) a look at suggestions to retain our bare practitioner identity and still appear a part of the Halloween social custom. The Halloween season provides an opportunity for costumed social gatherings and this upcoming weekend, which is the final weekend before the occasion happens is time for many to host their own costumed events!

Halloween is traditionally a time for costume wearing and fun. Nonsensical spirited occasion that emerged as the general population sought a means to escape the western churches custom of honouring the deceased on All Soul’s Day and All Saint’s Day – the goodness of humanity and the sacredness of human life. The costume culture grew in popularity as persons sought ways to anonymously express themselves in a way that originally would keep them free from reproach.

This soon became associated with both horror and humour as well as frightening others into avoiding evil actions by the offering of treats (candies) to “save” their souls (well-being). It is now an obsession in many communities as participants vie to represent terror and life-threatening instances that often reflect crime and tortuous enterprising instead of humour, fantasy and fun!

The elaborate costuming now offers another fashion trend that encourages revelers to continue to conceal or to “cover-up” their bodies beneath these extravagant costumes. Many argue that this presents an ideal situation for bare practitioners to celebrate being themselves by hiding their nakedness and joining in the frivolous fun of adorning ourselves with the fabulous costumes!

Since a majority of us of the body and clothes freedom community must comply with “dress” (clothes wearing) codes on a daily basis for legal and professional compliance, the use of a costume – especially in a social engagement – is a most inconvenient and restrictive reminder of our repetitive surrender of our joy of our nakedness. Conformity too often is oppression magnified and extremely frustrating!

My spouse, Aaron, and I offer this post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! in an effort to enlighten the Halloween enthusiasts among our bare practitioner community and culture these alternative options and possibilities for their horrific and specific pleasure. The trio of “the wild man” (cave man) clubber offered in the introduction of this posting involves the body painting of our nudity without concealing or disguising our pride and pleasure in our nakedness.

We’re employing colour and imagination in addition to enjoying, promoting and relaxing in our nakedness! A live testimony to our creativity and to our social nature! Using these depictions as an example, we encourage all to mimic (copy) this scenario or to improvise with a more personal favourite! The body painting featured here requires the material body paint but does not require intense artistic skill!

Another idea is the utilization of body paint in the designing of a message that proclaims our confidence in our bare practitioner status and our natural (naked) state-of-being! Announcing our enthusiasm and joy in our public display of our body and of ourselves! Simply: us being us! Join with us in our clothes freedom! Join with us and receive your due reward: a kiss!

While the body paint remains available, we can focus attention on our natural freedom and commemorate our natural (anatomical) ability to flaunt our disregard for conformity and a restrictive society! We can embrace our origin! We all entered this world without guilt or shame, why should we even be bothered by any false sense of embarrassment now?

The plentiful supply of body paint during this Halloween time of the year allows us to decorate ourselves with the colours of our rainbow heritage and incorporate not only our comfort in our nakedness but our pride in our same gender loving (SGL) character as well!

As authentic bare practitioners, we are equally comprised of the benefits of our clothes freedom and our sexuality heritages!

Essentially, we’re all qualified as Guys Without Boxers! no matter what style of underwear we prefer – or if we wear any at all! Our contentment, happiness and satisfaction is exemplified in our basic celebration of us being ourselves: nakedness and same gender loving!

Naked hugs!
