Today is New Year’s Eve, 2024! The last day of this year and then we begin all over again. We can all take full advantage of the image above and share a “good-bye” kiss for 2024! It was quite a year and soon we have a new one to welcome!
Aquatic bottoms-up!
Whether in the Southern Hemisphere or along the Equator, this man is enjoying a very refreshing and very wet bottoms-up for this season of the year!
Bottoms-up reward for a good job!
The last day of the month is perfect for celebrating a day for our buttocks!
Bottoms-Upto all of 2024!

The importance of sleep (slumbering) in our daily lives is taught to all of us since we were very little and very young. The holidays are full of family, friends and fun but often without very few moments of sleep. Many of us resort to mentally reviewing our lengthy list of “things-to-do” so that our holiday plans continue to proceed.
This creates an absence of sleep that afflicts many of us, particularly during this crazed, frantic and hectic season of the year. Too many thoughts dealing with too many tasks that still need to be dealt with in a short amount of time!
Lack of sleep causes a loss of direction and absent mindedness. At a time of year when needed most, focus and orientation frequently suffers.
Holiday sleeping!
My spouse, Aaron, has no problem sleeping. His co-workers and professional superiors often refer, in a joking manner, of his unique ability to “sleep-on-the-job!”
Naked hugs!

Kory Mitchell, half his face and half of his hairy armpits!
Background:
Maschalagnia: hairy armpit obsession. In humans, the formation of body odor happens primarily in the armpit. These odorant substances serve as pheromones which play a role in sexual attraction and excitement.
This explains and justifies my attraction to and fascination with men’s hairy armpits, which inspired this holiday posting in the “spirit of the season!”

Alternate title:Their jollies stuffed inside their jock-straps!
Before anyone panics, ReNude Pride is not abandoning naked, natural, nude and/or nudity! The male jock-strap is one of the minimal and most relaxing of any type of male garment in existence. We’re just complying with the holiday season!
Exchanging kisses!
We Wish You A Jolly Jock-Strap!

Every day of the year!
Gaining familiarity!

As the introductory buttocks (above) remind us, we don’t abandon our acquaintances, friendships and good times as we soon depart 2024 and welcome 2025! Now is an excellent time to anticipate our future and commence planning for another upcoming nakation! No matter how we travel, airplane, boat, car or foot, there are affordable arrangements that can be made this far in advance!
Investigate opportunities, share with others, look around you and research what is appealing, available and cost options. Removing the frustration and stress of immediate deadlines and time constraints provide us the chance to prepare ahead and to budget in advance of an overload of frantic tasks to complete within a limited amount of time.
Nakation planning does not require a detailed and elaborate availability. The time factor of a particular length of nakation can vary between a set number of hours each week to an entire month of freedom. It’s important that we all remember the basic: what truly matters is that the arrangements and desires are both accessible, affordable, convenient and satisfactory for us.
Bottom-line: it is our nakation! There is another benefit that I failed to include above. It is a naked vacation! There is very limited concern or worry over any type of “dress code!” Hopefully, as bare as possible!
Seeking!
Of course, a relaxing and successful nakation is not specifically guaranteed the expense, alone. Some of the best, the most relaxing ones and the most productive ones are the least expensive and simplest ones we create with our acquaintances and/or family and friends. As easy to organize as a one-day skinny dipping (swimming naked), the next day a bare picnic or cook-out, to be followed by a trip to a secluded site, sunbathing while natural with a good book.
The ability and freedom to be natural in nature often provides the comfort that we value. Another option is to enjoy the time away from the jobsite while bare and alone!
Confusion!
Many bare practitioners become so overwhelmed by family, social obligations and other demands and expectations during this festive season that the customary habit of enacting the tradition of New Year’s resolutions often is too burdensome, too restrictive or just “too much” to even consider. The chaotic, frantic and hectic nature of life experienced throughout this time of the year surpasses all the fun and joy that we’re supposed to be having! Where is it written that all resolutions must be made only on New Year’s Day?
My spouse, Aaron, and I are both frustrated and tired of this ridiculous and unfair custom. Our solution to this dilemma is basic, simple and thus far, manageable. Instead of New Year’s resolutions, we observe and participate in First Day of Spring resolutions!
New Year’s Day happens annually during the coldest season of the year. This always follows a very busy major holiday period where practically every waking moment is filled to capacity. Do any of us have the time to seriously examine and explore improvements we want to implement into our lives?
Treadmill fitness!
My husband and I prefer a less demanding and more relaxed occasion to introduce variations in our lives and in our routines. The First Day of Spring isn’t magical. It may not automatically begin an overnight change in the temperature and weather conditions but it lacks the urgency of the New Year’s season. The first of spring does offer a sense of rebirth and renewal, and that reality increases the chance of success in the resolution undertaking!
That factor alone aids in the improvement of the attitude towards flexibility and helps create an environment and mindset conducive to progress. It also enables the reduction of feelings of frustration and stress!
As 2024 rapidly begins to fade into closure, perhaps it is appropriate and fitting that we here at ReNude Pride once again visit with a popular couple of our bare practitioner community and culture who are celebrity models, DJ’s, producers and performers on screen and media sensations. Let us start with Brazilian-born Felipe Ferreira. He’s been featured here several times over the past few years as we explored and witnessed his expanded and rising comfort level with not only his public display of his same gender loving (SGL) identity and sexuality but also his acceptance and acknowledgement of his preference and pride of his nakedness!
As offered in the chest and nipple images above, he has no concern over confidently proclaiming his pride in being himself. However, the journey to accomplish this task was slow and conflicted!
Felipe: early naked photo displaying his pride tattoo!
Felipe initially captured the attention of both Aaron, my spouse, and myself when Aaron discovered the above photo and brought it to me to research his identity. Neither one of us knew who he was or what initiated the notable and obvious tattoo on his upper torso! Slowly, I learned his name, origin and that the tattoo was his idea of sharing his sexual preference as a bisexual man (at the time, that was the “accepted” identification his public relations advisor and modelling agency allowed him to disclose). This caused him some conflict was soon countered when the modelling agency terminated his contract and he retaliated by publicly asserting himself as exclusively gay! So, pride in his sexuality and in his slowly emerging confidence in his modest nakedness!
He cautiously managed to restore a modelling career and began to pose clothes free but without any full frontal bare images. This displeased his already dissatisfied public relations advisors who quickly abandoned him and began to spread rumours concerning his lifestyle. The notoriety surrounding his being turned away from modelling and media advisors gained him the attention of the SGL community as well as a growing number of body and clothes freedom enthusiasts. Instead of harming his job situation, this enhanced his popularity as well as his support base!
Felipe Ferreira embracing and kissing Rhyheim Shabazz!
He tentatively sought out modelling and posing opportunities into the expanding gay porn industry. This led to the mutual friendship with a local neighbour, gay porn magnet Rhyheim Shabazz! They developed into a close relationship, first platonically but soon intimately as they joined together both personally and professionally. Their clip (above) soon became a trademark of the rapidly growing community and culture of bare practitioners globally!
Rhyheim understood the needs of Felipe in establishing a comfort zone for himself regarding his sexuality and his nakedness – especially in appearing with his pubic hair and his penis in full view! Their growing relationship provided them the opportunity to collaborate on developing and producing a video of them together, unashamed and free from guilt. Felipe began to gain confidence in himself and his preference for nudity and he became more honest and open in his bare practitioner status. Their collaboration before the video camera and staff led to the photo scenes posted below.
Rhyheim recognized his partner’s discomfort in revealing his preferred sexual position and helped him surmount this difficulty and accept himself as he is most comfortable: being the man that he naturally is!
Felipe accepted his guidance and continued the journey of awareness and discovery of himself personally and professionally. His self-confidence began to increase and this raised his level of self-acceptance!
These scenes together aided both men to next face the challenge of confronting one of the hardest tasks they needed to defy: the “unlearning” of the learned behaviour that assaults many bare practitioners; the learned ideal that naked intimacy is unclean and totally unnatural and vulgar.
Felipe and Rhyheim!
Fortunately for our bare practitioner community and culture, Felipe was able to follow Rhyheim’s advice and encouragement and is now more receptive and relaxed in being publicly seen both modeling and posing his pubic hairline and images of his penis and in acknowledging his support. They both are also aware of their roles as educators in the process of helping others in abandoning the stifling taboos about being overly sensitive about their respective behaviours regarding masculinity, nakedness, and sexuality.
Thank you, Felipe and Rhyheim, for your dedication in sharing your expertise and knowledge of our bare practitioner community and culture! After all, we’re all natural (clothes free), normal and proud of both what and who we truly are inside our hearts, minds and souls: bare practitioners!
Outstanding Example of Fortitude and Generosity!
There is yet another reason for the composition and publishing of this feature on Felipe and Rhyheim. That cause is outreach and support. At this festive season of the year, a great number of us are constantly bombarded by appeals regard and remember that there are many people among us who are far less fortunate than many of us. There are the differently enabled, the lonely, the infirm and the sick. Also, the elderly, the orphaned, the hungry, the lost, the rejected, the homeless, the oppressed and the dying. An endless listing of circumstances and situations that few of us can even imagine.
Felipe had a need. Rhyheim had the time, the expertise and the patience. They joined together and created a rapport that enabled them both to offer themselves as an example of what two individuals can accomplish and achieve simply by cooperating and being communicating with one another. In relying on one another, they met a challenge and overcame several obstacles. Probably the nakedness issue, the SGL issue and the personal insecurity issue doesn’t appear applicable to the majority here, however, it is an example of what two can do – together!
Some may laugh, shrug their shoulders, roll their eyes and shake their head. Yet before you cast aside my plea, please look around you. If someone is crying, offer them a smile. It doesn’t cost you anything and you very well may brighten their day. In return, they may be more noticing of others and reach out to lighten their troubles.
Sometimes, just reaching out to acknowledge someone is the most important and meaningful gesture any of us can offer. Yet it may indeed change the life of another! Follow the example of both Felipe and Rhyheim! Give and receive with gratitude and respect!
Rhyheim and Felipe share a couch!
The sad truth is that an enormous number of us fall into the category of “those-in-need.” We lack the skills in acceptance, knowledge, and recognition of ourselves as a potential beneficiary of services from others. Regrettably, many of our community and culture fail to realize that we similarly – like Felipe – having demons to confront in our personal lives.
In accepting Rhyheim’s guidance, mentoring, and tutelage, Felipe enhanced and expanded his own popularity and visibility. Together, they broadened both their reputations and notable accomplishments. Their collective efforts have touched and enriched bare practitioners everywhere! Thank you, Felipe Ferreira and Rhyheim Shabazz! Your example of compassion inspires us all to strive!

Proof of modesty overcome and Rhyheim’s outstanding tutoring!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, December 16, 2024, and the proposed topic is: “Double Seasonal Notes!”
My job would be ideal if I could lecture in front of the class completely clothes free! Unfortunately, education isn’t always as progressive as it should be!
Critical instruction!
However, there are some happy benefits that accompany educational instruction: among those is the semester break (holiday) between the Autumn semester and the Spring semester! My break begins today, Monday, 9 December (unofficially) after I submit my final rankings for Autumn. Classes resume in January. A nice way to spend the holiday time!
My spouse, Aaron, has some time off from his job and we’ll be spontaneous in our December excursions! We’re intentionally trying to remain as uncommitted as possible in order to take advantage of being both clothes and job free! An additional benefit is the freedom to be spontaneous in any social offerings! Few expectations and time together!
Time together!
Relaxing with the freedom to be us!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, December 13, 2024, and the proposed topic is: “Seasonal Adjustment!”
It makes very little difference exactly where we live, either the Northern or the Southern Hemispheres, the month of December affords to the overwhelming majority of us a festive occasion to celebrate our cultural and social heritage!
In selecting a title for today’s post entry here on ReNude Pride, I am once again sensitive that a general, generic title is almost impossible. No matter how it is constructed, someone, somewhere will undoubtedly be offended. For many, avoiding the label “Christmas” is publicly repudiating Christians everywhere. Even though a significant number of persons living on this planet are not actually of the Christian belief system.
Winter holidays is another useless term as not everyone resides in the Northern Hemisphere where the winter season is fast approaching. Season’s greetings is equally unacceptable as summer enthusiasts who live in the Northern Hemisphere, such as my spouse, Aaron, and myself are in no way pleasantly receptive to any season that hinders or restricts our outdoor expressions of our joy of nakedness!
I’m certain that there are those who live in the Southern Hemisphere who prefer the “thrill of the chill” (cooler, if not even colder) outside air temperatures than what is about to encompass them! Perhaps December holidays is an appropriate title for today’s composition, even though I’m certain that more than likely is considered rude and thoughtless by some.
Then again, I am cognizant of the fact that being same gender loving (SGL) and clothes free is also offensive to many! Therefore, in an attempt to be as inclusive as possible, Aaron and I offer to everyone here as complete an attachment as currently available that acknowledges the multitude of seasonal festivities observed during the month of December! We also recognize that one holiday, happens on 1 January, annually. An entirely different month and year. Please allow us another year to creatively address and explore that issue!
There are additional celebrations, events, feasts, observances that were not included in the above listing. No offence is intended!
In the meantime, enjoy this month of December, 2024!
Naked hugs!

Despite the progress that has been made in the care, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, the disease continues to infect people in alarming rates. We still do not have a cure. The need to pass along information to our young people today is just as prevalent in order to reduce infections and offer good health to all!
The coronavirus COVID-19 and its variants are remaining dominant in health news. However, HIV still exists as a serious threat. Unlike coronavirus, HIV isn’t transmitted through everyday casual contact. It is passed from an infected person through body fluids, needle sharing and it is also a sexually transferred infection (STI). With education of the facts, HIV potentially is a preventable disease.
The Basic Facts:
HIV can be passed through blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk.
The sharing of needles increases the risk of HIV transmission.
The use of a latex condom reduces the risk of HIV.
Only a physician can diagnose AIDS.
World AIDS Day!
The wearing of a red ribbon on World AIDS Day, (December 1, annually) not only publicly demonstrates our awareness of the solemn occasion, it also serves as a reminder to others of the importance of prevention efforts against this disease. It also serves a tribute to the significant number of people who died because of infection.
Naked hugs!
