The scheduled publishing of this series is adjusted this month due to the USA’s Memorial Day holiday and the commencement of Pride Month, 2025, on Sunday, 1 June. I need a little time to prepare and compose! It is my treat to myself in order to have as many minutes to enjoy my summer holiday from my classroom!
The header posting is a recognition of the reality that not all of our bare practitioner brethren reside in the Nothern Hemisphere where the outside world is conducive to natural nakedness at this time! Our brethren living in the Southern Hemisphere have a season to complete before their air temperatures moderate.

His Majesty, King Charles III, addresses the Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
With all the dignity befitting his Royal station in life, His Majesty King Charles III of Canada and the Commonwealth Realms opened Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on this past Tuesday, 27 May. This was his initial Speech from the Throne since his coronation. He was accompanied by Queen Camilla.
This was the first session of the new Parliament following the recent election of Mr. Mark Carney, Liberal Party as prime minister earlier this month. Prime Minister Carney announced His Majesty’s attendance at Buckingham Palace days after winning the election.
The purpose of the Royal Visit was to appropriately address Canada’s concerns and indignation over the temperamental outbursts from the current USA’s clown of state trumpster-dumpster, and his childish stunts such as the trade war and threatened annexation of Canada among other belligerent actions. The Prime Minister felt His Majesty’s presence and Speech from the Throne would help calm Canadians angered and offended by the arrogance and downright rudeness of trumpster-dumpster and his clueless, criminal crew.
A very wise move by Prime Minister Carney! The Sovereign afforded tradition and respect instead of a selfish tantrum. The situation was best served by keeping those thoughtless antics and behaviours south of the border and out of Canada. The proverbial adage, “two wrongs do not make a right,” proved to be all too true!
Involving His Majesty at least temporarily silenced the U.S. clown of state. Awed by the Royal yet entirely ceremonial role, it elevated the official event into international attention. On the world stage, the Crown eclipses the mouthy idiot, no discussion needed. In addition, all of his years as Prince of Wales (as heir) rewarded King Charles III the recognition and respect that clearly outranks and surpasses the infantile and obnoxious stereotypical immaturity of a peon.
God save the king!
Aaron, my spouse, has valid passports for both Canada and Nigeria – Commonwealth Realms. His Majesty, upon his coronation, was proclaimed Head of Commonwealth. Aaron adds: “The king was born being prepared for his duty. Donald grew up with a name synonymous with Duck. And Donald Duck is far more likeable!”
Naked hugs!

Alternate Title: Majesty Versus Arrogance!
Today, 27 May, 2025, His Majesty, Charles III of Canada and Commonwealth Realms, will open and address the Canadian Parliament from the Throne of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He makes history as the second reigning sovereign to address the politicians from the Throne. The first was his mother, the beloved, gracious and late Queen Elizabeth II who delivered her first address on 14 October, 1957, and her second celebrating her Silver Jubilee on 18 October, 1977.
Queen Elizabeth II delivering Throne Speech, 1957!
The newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Mark Carney, announced the occasion earlier this month upon his audience with the King at Buckingham Palace in London, UK. The Royal Speech will outline the Liberal Party’s priorities as it stares down the USA’s clown of state, trumpster-dumpster’s (a dumpster is a commercial container for trash) trade war and remarks regarding the annexation of Canada to the USA. The idiot is also known as “Vladimir Putin, Jr.” Footnote: Any disrespect, direct and/or implied, towards the USA’s corrupt, deceitful, MAGA-lomaniac tyrant is deliberately intentional. He has yet to earn any respect from either my spouse, Aaron (who is African-Canadian) and/or me.
Aaron and I both apologize for any offence taken by those reading here.
His Majesty, King Charles III (left) and Mr. Mark Carney (right) in Buckingham Palace!
God save the King and bless all Canadians and Commonwealth subjects! In this day and age, our planet needs all the help that is available!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, May30, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Bottoms-Up! May, 2025!” Reminder: note the new date for this monthly posting series.
A day originally conceived as a time to remember and offer tribute to all persons who sacrificed their lives while fighting to defend this country.
A worthy salute to those who were inspired by patriotism. Unfortunately, the season of the year is more conducive to “fun-in-the-sun” rather than the spirit it initially encouraged.
Patriotic!
Originally known in the USA as Decoration Day, the holiday was created and first observed in the USA on May 30, 1868. It was to honour all the soldiers who had died in the USA Civil War which ended in 1865. By 1890, all the states in the US were commemoration the occasion which was annual.
The world wars during the twentieth century turned it into a day of remembrance for all who had died defending the country. In 1968, an act of congress changed the date of the occasion to the last Monday in May, annually. In 1971, the name was altered by legislation to Memorial Day.
The tradition, now largely ignored, was for flags to fly at half-mast to honour all the deceased. Later, the tradition was altered to fly flags at half-mast until noon then raise them to full-mast. That custom is no longer expected or featured.
Unofficially, Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer holiday season.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!
Naked hugs!

First of all, I need to apologize for this delayed posting. It is later than I normally post my Friday entry here. The post I originally intended to publish is on my desktop at home and I’m not anywhere near there at this particular moment.
The Spring/Summer season here in the USA is the time for the baseball sport which is enjoyed by countless people. The object of the game is to hit the ball with a bat, run to the bases and then win the game. However, the bat used is not one of human anatomy. The bat was originally constructed of wood and then later aluminum.
This brief post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is a substitute for my intended publication. The two men above are obviously not swinging their erect and excited penises in honour of the baseball sport. They’re merely having fun!
It is a fun weekend here in USA. The Memorial Day holiday is Monday, thus a three-day weekend, the unofficial beginning of the Summer season. A majority of the outdoor pool facilities open for the duration of the summer and aquatics are of course the prominent activity, along with barbecues (outside cooking), picnics and of course, the baseball competitions, both amateur and professional.
Everyone please have a safe and successful holiday weekend!
Naked hugs!

Simply: the choice is yours. Please read and act responsibly.
A sunny beach stroll!
Introduction:
Hopefully, the title of today’s post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! has caught your attention and curiosity as to the content. If not, the equation covered in the Prologue was intended to eliminate all and any doubt. The purpose and theme are to remind us of the importance of sunscreen in our health needs and especially our skincare.
This hopefully serves as a serious reminder to all of us of the need to incorporate protection strategies into our nakedness. We are all born body and clothes free. That fact allows us an option in determining how we pursue our lives. The intent of this X-Factor component is to reinforce our healthy, honest and informed choices.
This photo-essay offering concludes with an accessible link to my most recent posting on this topic. If anyone needs detailed information on the concerns of sunscreen, please use the linkage featured prior to the signature below.
*************************
Sunscreen!
For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, our season of “natural bare living” is in the process of happening now! As our Springtime unfolds, our opportunities for natural revelation increase daily. The need for clothing diminishes at an accelerated rate and the freedom to express our bare practitioner inclinations expands considerably! The necessity for the aid and protection of sunscreen grows beyond imagination.
For persons living in the Southern Hemisphere, even though the season of intense solar exposure is months away, sunscreen protection is always warranted for any sun exposure, regardless of sunray intensity. A secondary purpose of this post entry is to refresh everyone’s memory: sunscreen is essential for our health and well-being all year long, no matter where we live!
Application!
Each sunscreen is available commercially in a variety of containers, formats and styles. It is a topical product specifically designed to protect skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays from the sun can cause premature skin aging, sunburn and skin cancer – including melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen daily is essential in reducing these harmful effects.
The goal of any sunscreen product is to shield the skin from sun exposure and a broad-spectrum formula that helps block UVA and UVB sunrays is basic for all skin types, ethnicities and races.
Reapply as per instructions!
The length of time for the purpose of sunscreen is recommended for each product. Everyone is encouraged to follow the commercial instructions as closely as possible and to individually decide the effectiveness. Variations are based on personal needs and the products overall rating. Not every product is identical. It is highly encouraged to all persons that when purchasing a new type of sunscreen product to apply a little to a small area of the body to test the product and individual reaction to it.
When applying the sunscreen, numerous bare practitioners – Aaron and myself included – recommend a “dual application” process. This involves rubbing the product into the skin and awaiting time for the product to be absorbed and then repeating the process. This reduces the chance of any area of skin being accidentally uncovered and unprotected.
Sunscreen application!
If at all possible, having an acquaintance, family member or a friend helping to spread the protection is advised. Their assistance helps to cover areas difficult to reach if applying alone and also guarantees thorough coverage of the entire body with protection. This cooperation also encourages us to share experiences and problems with others that we otherwise would not be able to exchange.
The growing market of sunscreen products offer many different varieties. This interaction gives us an opportunity to gain experience, knowledge and a sampling of products that we might not have accessibility to or reason to try.
Sunscreen is for everyone!
Despite extensive outreach efforts, there is still a significant number of persons who are of the erroneous mindset that Black people (persons of African descent) do not need to use sunscreen. This misconception is based on the false belief that their melanin-infused skin completely eliminates the need for sunscreen for protection. Yes, darker skin does protect from some UV sunrays, but all persons, regardless of their skin tones, need the protection of sunscreen.
Darker skin tones indeed have a greater genetic protection than fairer skin tones, however, humans have no natural blockage of all ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Everyone has a natural deficiency.

Often, people celebrate through the practice of the dance different events, festivities, occasions they deem worthy to remember. The reasoning may be special to only one person or to an entire community. Whether it is referenced as dance, movement and/or rhythm, the practice is very energetic, graceful and interesting. The above image depicts SeanXavier demonstrating his dancing skill and talent in a courtyard for his videographer! As an openly gay film star, he’s unconcerned while being the bare practitioner he naturally and proudly is!
A happy chef!
Our guest chef, busy in his kitchen, has evidently mixed successfully an exotic dish for consumption. He’s commemorating the moment with a “jump for joy” on his accomplishment!
Dance fever!
Some of us have great difficulty in containing ourselves and our jubilation over our happiness and our success! Our ecstasy is very obvious and willingly shared with others!
Reflection partner!
There are among us those who prefer to express themselves alone. There is nothing wrong with being happy solo; many use the freedom to implement new moves for self-expression and relief from containment! This allows them to perfect their happiness and satisfaction free from the eyes and potential judgment of others.
Group satisfaction!
We need to understand that some people have problems with containing themselves and their emotional excitement. Their needs are in favour of being glad and the feeling of success and group achievement in overcoming odds!
Naked hugs and rhythm to all!

There’s no better way to have fun than to cast off the burdensome clothing and engage in refreshing and rejuvenating nakedness!
Lose your inhibitions and play!
The conducive weather, the sun, the water, the companionship! What else is necessary for amusement, fun, humour and laughter? Our nakedness offers us a chance to have it all together for variety and pleasure! Add a good book, food and/or fun and games to make recreation complete!
Oh, that’s right! I forgot one of the essential elements of fun, joy and pleasure. Our being completely and totally bare! Freedom from all and any clothing whatsoever!
Whatever is fun is game!
Unlimited access to leisure (without the baggage of covering and/or garments) is one of the many benefits of being a bare practitioner! It is not limited to just the seasons of Spring and Summer, but those two seasons do afford us the best time and the most time to enjoy and experience life as we prefer it!
Clothes free in nature!
One of the most popular and most frequently engaged bare activities/events is swimming naked/nude. Actually, swimsuits only came into popular fashion during the mid-Victorian era, not even 200years ago. Up until that period, humanity and water were almost always clothes free. If anything, modesty concerns were addressed primarily through gender segregation.
“Skinny-dipping” is a colloquial word in use for swimming naked. The “skinny” is in reference to the skin – no swimsuit, just skin – and the “dipping” refers to a jump or immersion into a body of water. The term is widely used throughout the southern USA.
Discarding their underwear (briefs)!
Of course, we all understand that while aquatics may be fun, they are not a primary choice of leisure living for everyone, no matter their clothing preference. As bare practitioners, we are experienced in that aspect of our community and culture. As the adage informs us: variety is what entices life!
There are unlimited undertakings that are enjoyed while naked/nude. The scope isn’t restricted based on our status as clothes free. Practically every activity that is available while wearing clothes is also available without wearing them.
Games and competitions!
Activities such as games and competitions are played for enjoyment and fun. There are numerous commercial games that are both suitable for involvement either inside and/or outside the home. Above, the game of “twister” is very popular with both bare practitioner and with the textile (clothes wearing) communities. When engaged outside, the players get plenty of attention from not only the competitors but the general public as well.
Football/soccer!
Athletics and sports, whether individually played or as a team, are very engaging as either a participant or as a spectator. In some of the larger metropolitan areas, there are even leagues for amateur teams to compete. Teams that welcome persons and their nakedness exist and are popular among enthusiasts – although some do have very restrictive spectator policies.
Basketball!
There are sports that encourage a very competitive spirit among players and then there are those that are geared towards individual involvement and allow the players to schedule their own times of play according to their schedules.
Tennis!
Games, sports, skinny-dipping: activities that consume energy! Where will we garner all this required energy? From our bare practitioner chefs, of course! There are some of us who are quite skilled with creating delicious and nutritious feasts while entirely naked, my spouse, Aaron, being one of them! To be honest, his meals taste best when he cooks them wearing less!
Grilling the meal!
No matter if the meal preparation is outside in nature or inside in the kitchen, Aaron and our talented cooks waste no time in offering to all the “fruits of their labours!” Their gifts are truly appreciated and enjoyed by all who partake!
Passive bare endeavours!
Not every bare activity requires effort and energy. There are some pastimes that allow the individual to relax and not expend efforts. Reading, writing, art (drawing, painting) and related undertakings are enjoyed by many no matter the season of the year. Board games and card games also are appreciated by nude persons.
Life is indeed short! Enjoy the time available and play naked whenever possible!
Vintage sunscreen promotional image.
The above graphic was popular during the 1950s decade promoting a particular brand of sunscreen. It conveys the message of a young child playing with her pet dog. Her canine accomplice, pulling off this friends swimsuit, is endorsing playing naked!

Mayhem: A state of disorder or riotous confusion. Havoc or uncertainty.
That is absolutely a description of the theme of this month – unfortunately, today is only the fifth day of a thirty-one-day May! What will happen next? This month is usually one that is relatively predictable and set. It is the ending of the Spring semester at university and allows me the commencement of my “all-too-brief” Summer holiday!
Notation: The above situation was presented by a colleague of mine to her class. With her permission, I “borrowed” the theme and developed the post entry here today.
What is happening?
Is 2025 destined to be a totally unfortunate and completely unlucky year? The reason I question this is that the final days of our academic year are nothing except chaos and confusion—beyond any sane expectation! The official ending of this semester doesn’t occur until 15 May, so the madness isn’t even over yet!
Normally, the ending of the scholastic year brings no “last minute” changes in our routine. As faculty, our final month is fairly routine: grades due and plans due. This year, the last month contained one surprise after another and all with the due date of 15 May – no exceptions.
This year, there was an outstanding exception to every expectation of normal and routine. And not just in my school, but throughout the entire university. It was as if the administration was giving awards to which school, department or division could render the most disruption possible!
The school where I’m a professor implemented a review of curricula and evaluations during the month of September 2024. Fine. Not a problem. The goal, as explained to all of us, was to revise, update, and modify the offerings within a three-year period. There were no complaints from any of us as the process was most definitely long overdue. That was the last the subject was addressed with us.
Then, the end of March, 2025, it was announced that the entire revision of our school was due by the end of the academic year! The middle of May of our current year! What happened to our timely and coordinated efforts? Why the rush?
Totally clueless!
Needless to add, pure pandemonium followed. That, in turn, was then followed by anger, more anger, frustration, then anger (again) to be followed by fury! Those were the reactions on the “good” days!
Flexing and fists!
That issue was slowly resolved by the end of the month of April. No one is actually certain as to how all hell came into being, simply that the original resolution deadline of September 2027, implementation was returned. The threat of fist fighting on the faculty level was diminished!
We’re continuing to wait for a more detailed explanation as to what precisely caused the serious mismanagement of the change process. Someone blatantly miscalculated their professional position and the professional reaction to their error.
Celebrating a return to normalcy!
In the meantime, the “rank and file” of the university – us, the educators – have resumed our anticipation of a summer of freedom and fun, maybe not in that order!
Naked hugs!
