My spouseAaron and I appeal to all for us to come together and to stand tall and united for everyone in order to return decency, equality, fairness, honesty, integrity, legitimacy and genuine concern to the corrupt, degraded, dishonest and deceitful USA government. Midterm elections to the Congress are scheduled for this upcoming November.
Pleasestart planning now to cast your vote in November. The time is needed to enact change and return compassion and dignity to the USA.
Let us all work together to rid ourselves of all the bigots, criminals, and felons from government! We need to restore hope in the hearts, minds and souls of us all!
Together we need to make a difference!
Thank you!
Stand tall and proud!
Before we dissolve ourselves and unravel completely, we need to pause for a moment and look where we are now. A nation, a people: divided and adrift. There is no longer a national example to inspire, to motivate and to persevere in guiding us all to resolve and to share.
The healing and the recovery need to happen and action needs to be soon! In exercising our duty to vote, we can try to make it start in November!
Naked hugs!

ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!
Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, March 16, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “True Justice!”
Splashman:
Begin confirming your voting validity now in order to be free to enjoy the entire summer!
Our Bad:
Ensure that you’re all ready to vote and carefully monitor all the candidates in your area.
Francois:
Others witnessing your commitment and involvement may be inspired to do the same!
Strippers:
Working together, we can discard the criminals and dishonest ones like they are as unwanted as clothes!
As a professional educator, today’s post entry here does indeed come with several distinct goals and/or outcomes. The primary one being the dignified, intentional removal (stripping) of all unnecessary and unwanted garments. These despicable and useless items conceal and/or cover our magnificent and majestic nakedness.
As dedicated and devoted bare practitioners, we all require periodic reminders of exactly how to discard (strip) these pathetic items of deceit and public humiliation!
All of us possess our own particular preferred style of removal of these hindering garments. Our secondary purpose is to review the essential basics of this process/procedure in order to ensure compliance with the accepted standards. As a convenient resource, the simple steps to follow are offered in the chart below. Please print and copy in order to review whenever you feel the need.
Follow the steps and remember to clean up all discarded clothing!
The .gif visuals are offered as an additional support resource for your information. The incorporation here is to inspire each and everyone of you to develop your own particular manner and style of stripping (discarding, removing) clothing. Your creativity in managing the various aspects of this assignment will enhance and enrich your achieving satisfaction and success and accomplish your goal of completion!
Montgomery:
Attention! We’ll now join ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! bare celebrity Master of Strippers, Montgomery, as he demonstrates for us “How to Remove Your Cumbersome Clothing!” As always, he proves his expertise in this matter!
Body and clothes freedom complete, Montgomery is now relaxed and satisfied to once again celebrate his return to the world of bare practitioners! He prides himself on his talent is sharing his abilities with those eager and willing to improve their own stripping knowledge!
A busy day complete, numerous garments disposed our Montgomery, Master of Strippers resumes his singular place of honour on his Throne of Nakedness!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Phoenix:
Our very own official unofficial spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, decides to renew his stripping routine for all to observe and practice! He starts by carefully revealing his “commando” (no underwear) preference.
For our spokes-model, his body and clothes freedom is very serious business!
Awareness of his needs and the needs of others is why he uses direct eye-contact to ensure that others remain “in the know!”
Phoenix adds rhythm to his stripping process to improve attentiveness as well as his personal appeal.
Now he pauses and allows others to show him what they have learned from his example and his skills!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Francois:
Francois Sagat is now officially retired from his career in performing in the gay adult film industry but still enjoys being in front of a camera lens! Here, he’s just finished a fitness routine at his local gymnasium.
After a long day and a thorough workout, he’s anxious to return to his “natural” state!
He’s very familiar with the advantages a mirror provides as he asses his physical condition after exercising!
The comfort his casual nakedness gives to him enables his advocating the same practice by others who question his resources!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Internship:
Among the advantages and benefits of operating a curriculum that educates others on the importance of and the proficiency of stripping is the meeting and mentoring of newer young people seeking the skills.
The internship program is casual and permits those interested to model their practice and invite comments on what is observed.
One fact that is amazing about working with the young people is the popularity of the commando style within that age grouping!
The internship prepares candidates for stripping instruction and allows their creativity and diligence to increase their experience and opportunities!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Each bare practitioner develops their personal routines in stripping off their clothing. What works best for one person potentially could cause confusion for another. Aaron and I encourage everyone to practice in order to determine what works for them while keeping them comfortable and relaxed when removing garments in the company of others.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, March 13, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Prepare To Vote!”
Author’s Note #2: Summer is fast approaching and confirming voting status early allows time for fun in the sun!
Author’s Note: Resolution of voting issues sometimes requires patience.
Author’s Note: Early addressing any voting issues shows others that you care!
Author’s Note: Voting is a process that urges community involvement!
The header image (above) is one of the original images that my spouse and I utilized for our original wordpress.com blog, actually entitled Guys Without Boxers. It was published here from late 2012 until the week that we married on 15 August 2015. It was removed from publication by wordpress.com without any notification, reason or explanation whatsoever.
Background:
One year ago, during March 2025, my spouse, Aaron, and I announced here on then simply ReNude Pride that we were planning a renovation for this site. A proposed redesign project that would acknowledge and also involve the inclusion of our initial blogging effort here on wordpress.com. Our plans were to complete the entire project during the month of March. Little did we know about all the strategies involved – the entire project took almost two months to finish and we both agreed no new undertakings – ever!
A secondary photographic header for our original site!
A Friendly Reminder:
In the unlikely chance that someone is here by mistake, Aaron and I are a same gender loving (SGL) married couple who are interracial – he’s African-Canadian and I’m Greek – and were both proudly and publicly advocates of our preferred nakedness lifestyle. In a brief summary, we’re gay nudists and this blog is now officially entitled: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! and we celebrate that reality here as often and as visually as possible!
Our initial blog here on wordpress.com was named “Guys Without Boxers!” and our current blog proclaims that heritage. Our “boxer freedom/underwear freedom” campaign encourages the acceptance of our bare practitioner community and culture. SGL nakedness!
Footnote: When putting on our clothes, underwear (boxers, briefs, jock strap, bikini, etc.) is the first garment item to be donned. Hence, no underwear implies no clothes so we must be naked!
Therefore, if you’re here by accident or have no interest whatsoever in either of our obvious reasons for publication, you may want to exit here, now!
A TOE*
TOE = treasure of evolution
One of the surprising results of our renovation undertaking project was our public acknowledgment of the fact that we – Aaron and I – as a married couple do indeed watch adult entertainment DVDs (gay porn) and that we are at least familiar with their cast (performers). This public revelation was a part of this site’s evolution from the past and into our journey into today.
Another result of our remodel is the current popular series offered here “bare celebrities.” Like many surprises, it wasn’t planned, it just happened – totally unpredicted! Perhaps there is a tidbit of psychic truth in the adage the truth shall set you free!
A real treasure of evolution is our expansion of signatures at the conclusion of post entries here. Again, it happened without planning yet it afforded another opportunity for uniqueness for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! More proof that we are indeed without any clothing except our shoes!
In drafting today’s post entry, Aaron approached me with another “bare relic” for our offering of signatures (above): one of Francois Sagat jogging comfortably (clothes free) along a beach and with a textile (clothed) audience of one. Now an additional signature option featuring a popular bare practitioner who just conveniently appears jogging barefoot: completely and totally with body freedom and no excuses required!
Exactly the way we should all be: comfortable, confident and proud of ourselves just for being what and who we naturally are as bare practitioners! A pleasant and productive commemorating community and culture of accomplishment of just simply being ourselves with no condemnation, fear, guilt, intimidation, judgment or shame!
USA: Time Change Sunday!
A reminder to all that the transitional month of March continues the tradition of officially changing the time zones with the conversion to daylight savings time (DST) this upcoming Sunday, 8 March 2026 at precisely 2:00 a.m.
In whatever time zone one lives, at 2:00 a.m., the clock, timepiece, watch, etc., advances to 3:00 a.m. Many digital devices will automatically reflect the change. Some will need a manual adjustment. Most analog devices require a manual adaptation. Check your owner’s manual for verification.
It makes no difference where on your body you wear your watch, remember to adjust your timepiece and check it upon rising on Sunday! Otherwise, you’ll be apologizing for your tardiness to everyone all day long!
Rest assured, our days do not actually become longer. This ritual just offers us all an “extra” hour of daylight before sunset each day. Another “springtime initiation” that happens annually!
Naked hugs!

“Body hair and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush of roses.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 28 March 2022
We are both gay men. You may see body hair as a thorn on your rose bush. I see body hair as accentuating my masculinity. We’re both gay men, we just happen to be different. You be you and I’ll be me! We can still live together in harmony.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The nest post entry here is planned for tomorrow, February 28, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Bottom’s Up! February, 2026!”
Author’s Note #2: Thankfully, February is the last full month of winter! Soon, we can all run along the beach in the glory of our nakedness!
Our bare celebrity today is the amazing model, male escort and porn star, Venezuelan-born, Gio Dell! His primary area of service is New York City, New York, USA. Although, if the money isright, he can be flown wherever he is needed!
Gio is posing in the outdoor pool as he hosts today’s post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! His bare buttocks proclaim his nakedness and one of his obvious assets!
He’s joined by his step-brother in real life, Armani, who is also a model, male escort and porn actor. Both are very public about their same gender love (SGL) identity and their being nakedness advocates.
Step-brothers Gio Dell (left) and Armani!
They are jointly offering a review (below) of our expanded signature feature here that we use to conclude our postings here.
Old Faithful:
Our original running and long featured image! Good man and good job!
Splashman:
He’s our first recent addition and our very first to be offered in and/or near the water!
Our Bad:
His name is special because Aaron and I both forgot about him and/or misplaced his image from a couple of years ago! Our fault, our mistake!
Francois:
Francois is the only name that we have to offer because retired gay adult film industry actor, Francois Sagat is exactly who he is in real life!
Strippers:
The only signature to feature buttocks as opposed to a full frontal view. So named because they are removing their underwear and discarding it across their shoulders!
Hopefully, Aaron and I can cope and manage the added task of recalling our expanded listing and all of our options!
Thank you both, Gio and Armani for hosting today’s post entry here. They’ll both return here to host there second part: the upcoming Preview! planned to be published towards the end of March, 2026!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note #2: I’m not going to repeat a listing again. My concluding signature will be “Old Bad” solo today!
SGL, as repeatedly referenced here, is the anacronym for same gender love (bisexual or gay). SNL represents the popular USA television series: Saturday Night Live, a show that forcefully, hilariously and magnanimously ridicules and rebuffed the sorry state of affairs of American culture: actions, attitudes, beliefs, concepts, prejudices and values. Race Cooper confidently, defiantly and proudly does the same here for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!
Race Cooper: Our Man:
Race Cooper (left) kissing co-star, Shay Michaels!
Prelude:
“Canadian-to-his-core (soul)!” is an ideal description of loyalist Race Cooper, now retired SGL and nakedness adult film industry role model and star. Race Cooper is his professional (stage) name, his birth and legal name is Joseph Ross Anderson. He was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 5 December 1973. He received his introduction into the US gay adult film industry as a casting director at the studio office and worked diligently for a number of years. Then, in 2009, at the tender age of 36 years old, he performed his first role in front of the camera and graciously offered his buttocks to the world!
While pursuing his growing popularity while acting, he simultaneously became an advocate for film actors regarding studio executives, management and film investors concerning gross racial and ethnic disparities in practices, roles, pay scale and other matters. In his time working at the studio, he observed discrimination and marginalization against Blacks, Hispanics and surprising, fellow gay employees!
The purpose of reminding everyone of the dire need of review of the discriminatory protocols some of our same gender loving (SGL) and nakedness cohorts in the adult film industry allow, through the observations of “industry insider” Race Cooper (one of our own community and culture) is that before we point fingers outward, we all need to look inward and ensure that we are on the platform of equality, freedom and justice. Our need for respect and understanding enables us to search for accountability and truth everywhere – even among ourselves!
We need the insight of our fellow bare practitioner, bare celebrity Race Cooper, to lead us from the darkness and into the light!
“Racismand discrimination take many forms and our focus and thoughts on racism, sexuality and nudity need to change.” ~ Joseph Ross Anderson (Race Cooper) The Pink News SGL News Service, London, UK, 10 June 2020
Race Cooper, interviewing for The Pink News, London, UK 10 June 2020
Footnote:Race could not appear fully nude for his interview. Instead, he conducted the session shirtless, as close to nakedness as possible!
The examination and exploration of the topic of “race” extends beyond the limited concepts of of just Black people and White people. It includes all of us, no matter our skin tone, ethnicity, or racial heritage. “Race,” unfortunately, is also aligned with community, culture, politics, religion and value systems.
Regrettably, racism (racial bigotry and/or hatred) is a “learned” (taught) behaviour passed from one generation to the next – often without any basis of proof or scientific fact. Unchallenged, it is frequently misunderstood as the “norm” (normal) – the regular routine standard.
My spouse, Aaron, and I both offer this posting in the hope of overcoming our need to be reminded of the importance of fact and reality in our lives.
Race Cooper, The Pink News
Introduction:
Joseph R. Anderson (Race Cooper) didn’t begin his film career until 2009 at the tender age of 36 years! An age when most openly bisexual or gay porn film actors are ready to retire from performing live! His acting career spanned a total of five years. He retired from the industry in 2014.
In the same year that he started live acting, after years in the studio’s casting office, Race started publicly blogging on blogger.com, promoting his acting career and sharing information about fellow porn stars and their preferences. He swiftly acquired notoriety as “a-man-who-tells-it-all!” He also began to encourage and endorse the expansion of the “alpha” (top-man) and the “beta” (bottom-man) SGL identities to include “versatility” (both traditional SGL sexual positions)!
Race Cooper: “the-man-who-tells-it-all!”
Vital Statistics:
Height: 6′ (183 cm)
Weight: 180 lbs. (82 kg)
Hair: head – shaved; body – armpit, pubic
Penis: 8″ (20 cm) circumcised
Sexuality: gay
Sexual position: versatile (preference: beta (bottom-man)
Clothing status: bare (naked,nude)
Porn Career: Mid-level management (casting); live (2009-2014)
Race Cooper: publicity pose (frontal)
“I’m an African-Canadian. Growing up in Toronto, I got to see how lots of White Americans reacted to Black people, from Canada or the USA. Working in gay pornography, I personally saw how Black men were treated by White men with no difference between gay or straight.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Race, based on his own experience, views racism as “a daily constant in the USA.” He acknowledges that he – at first – was paid considerably less than his Caucasian colleagues and regularly and repeatedly had his work ethic and intelligence questioned. He honestly believes that he was only hired initially in order for the studios to appear “less racist.”
“Homophobia and racism in the USA is the reasoning for discrimination and prejudice. It is part of the legacy of institutionalized slavery. In Canada, race is just a difference. You shave your pubic hair, I let mine grow naturally. We’re both gay men,we’re justdifferent in some ways.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Canada had slavery in the 1600s only. It was never a permanent social institution like in the USA. As a slave, you were bought, you worked a couple of years, earned your freedom and then you moved on. Like an indentured servant. Enslavement was never a source of distrust, mistreatment and hatred. You worked, earned freedom and then became a neighbour – equal -not inferiour or subserviant.
Race Cooper: another movie pose!
“As a Black gay man, I know and have witnessed bias, hatred and prejudice because of nakedness, race and sexual orientation. It is unfair and unjust. It is wrong. As a performer in the porn industry, I’ve never experienced criticism for being publicly or for being socially naked. But I do know of fellow nudists who are judged because of their nudity. Clothes freedom is part of who we are. Just like race and sexuality, we don’t have a choice.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Race was interviewed by The Pink News, a SGL news service in London, England, United Kingdom on 10 June 2020 for his views on racial inequality in the bisexual or gay film profession in light of the killing of the late George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. He also wants the porn industry to openly admit that many White men – straight – have been cast into roles catering to SGL African-American audiences instead of actual Black gay men.
As a path forward, he’d like to see studios hire “diversity mentors” to help with casting and hopefully these mentors could advance the careers of porn actorsof colour. He also advocates the ending of “gay-for-pay” and an immediate end to the shunning of HIV+ porn actors.
All of us welcome and embrace Race in full nakedness as a man of our community and culture! His attitude that true equality is a basic human right for us all is one we can all agree!
Our man who reveals all: Race Cooper!
Thank you, Race, for your honesty and integrity!
Naked hugs!
Roger Poladopoulos/ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!
Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, February 20, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Bare + Black = Queer!”
We, as humans, (and I use that term very generally in these chaotic times) self-identify ourselves in a variety of manners/ways. One of the many reasons for this practice is to remind both others and ourselves as to what we are about – the essence as to what and who we truly are)! What is important to us? Why? Basically, is this me?
As bare practitioners (same gender loving – SGL – nakedness enthusiasts) there are numerous options available for the expression and revelation of ourselves. Among these are the ones we prefer that incorporate our clothes freedom opportunities (nakedness) such as body painting and/or tattooing. Body painting is washable, tattooing is more permanent or eternal.
Tattoo!
Tattoo #1: Pride
Our post entry header (above top) is Brazilian model/gay adult film industry actor/ and DJ Felipe Ferreira discretely posing with his throat tattoo: pride announcing his confidence in being both SGL (gay) and nude! The .gif image (directly above) is Felipe (now matured somewhat) specifically showing muscular development and the upper boundary of his pubic hairline.
Below, he models his commando (underwear freedom) preference in a selfie that publicly proves he indeed has a penis!
Felipe and groomed (shaved) pubic hair!
Footnote # 1: As Felipe has grown in his professional exposure, so has his comfort on revealing his genitalia!
Below, with fellow gay adult film industry actor, Rhyheim Shabazz, he is openly sharing both his nakedness and his sexuality!
Felipe (left) and Rhyheim (right)!
Footnote #2: Partnered with Felipe, our man Rhyheim never had his preference for nakedness nor his sexuality ever doubted or questioned. However, he was almost always never discrete over either trait!
Felipe and Rhyheim share a bed together!
Tattoo #2: Unashamed
Reign: Unashamed!
A former U.S. Navy volunteer and a recent newcomer to the SGL adult film industry, Reign proudly proclaims his bromantic (exclusive male sexual preference) and his nakedness by having the label unashamed tattooed just above his pubic hairline! His confidence in himself is readily available for all to understand whether he is posing nude or shirtless wearing a swim suit (below)!
Unashamed still visible!
Often criticized for his ornately tattooed chest and torso, Reign has no regrets nor suffers shame revealing his true self and his availability and his masculinity! He also proudly maintains his natural body hair (armpit and pubic).
Reign: sailor with underarm fur!
Reign served in the navy when then-President Obama officially ended the ban on SGL persons openly serving in the U.S. military.
Under contract with Raging Stallion Studios since 2020, Reign made no secret of his desire, preference and his willingness to perform in beta positions (bottom) roles on screen. He has trouble understanding why professional actors have issues with appearing in the “receiving” roles when filming scenes.
“I really enjoy being a bottom-man and I enjoy being versatile. To be truthful, I really enjoy sex and am happy have that as my job! Giving (alpha) or receiving (beta), it makes no difference to me!” ~ Reign ~ Raging Stallion Studios interview 2022
Reign: full exposure!
In the above image, Reign unveils his true confidence and pride! He is both appreciative and grateful for his penis and has no plans to adorn it with any ink (tattoo)! At least, not in the immediate future!
Tattoo #3: Bad Ass
The above tattoo probably needs no further explanation as to exactly what the owner is meaning. Looking closely, the anatomical region of the tattoo is obvious. But that does pose a question: Is the owner seeking a “bad ass” or is the tattoo a means of the owner proclaiming himself a “bad ass?”
Tattoo #4: Lust/Love
Ron Derrick Johnson and his tattoos!
Announcing to all his dedication to his personal as well as professional quest for both his same gender loving (SGL) and his clothes freedom status, openly bisexual Ron Derrick Johnson of the SGL adult film industry boldly has two tattoos inked on the front of his body: lust and eros (Greek: love). For Ron, “lust” is his search for both affection and attention. “Eros” is the name of the ancient Greek god of love and sexual desire.
Ron Derrick Johnson: nakedness!
Ron Derrick Johnson is indeed fortunate that his appearance, physique, and his tattoos compliment his message! No confusion or miscommunication concerns here! A man of international pleasure and repute, he has “eros” (love) written in Greek on his abdomen!
Tattoo #5: Faith
Kory Mitchell: frontal tattoos!
SGL film industry star, Kory Mitchell, also known early in his career as Kory Kong, is widely recognized as an advocate within the industry for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention and for his strong Christian faith. He has a cross inked on his front torso (just below his left nipple) to remind his fans of his faith.
Kory Mitchell: neck and shoulder tattoos!
As a reminder to his fans of his strong religious devotion, Kory has “blessed” mounted upon his shoulder. To emphasize his HIV+ status and his commitment to HIV/AIDS education and prevention, he has “hope” inked on his neck with a red awareness ribbon featured as the letter “o.” Excellent educational and inspirational tools!
Body Painting!
Body Painting
Body painting decorates our “natural” canvas – our bare skin! As bare practitioners, this option is one that many of us consider as a normal aspect of our existence within our community and culture! It is also used to visually deliver a message, usually one related to our nakedness!
In the above image, a City of London World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) participant proudly displays his adherence to the WNBR protocol as well as his identity as a bold and confident member of the GLBTQ+ community with his Progress Rainbow flag painted on his chest!
Above, his body painted message is plain and the meaning is obvious. All that needs to be done is comply and both will be content and happy! “Kiss Me! I’m Naked!” His service to bring joy into all the world!
Body painting their political messages across their chests and torsos are how these young men promote their causes they feel worth all their efforts. In their eyes and minds, their nakedness enhances the statements.
“I love you!” the American Sign Language manual signed communication!
The image above not only has the subject’s body painted in the colourful hands featuring that sentiment, but it also has his left hand creating the statement. In American Sign Language (ASL), signs are made using whichever hand the person is most comfortable, left or right.
Body painted wildlife!
Some body painting is both creative, imaginative and original in adorning the anatomy capturing the attention and the eyes of the observer!
Conclusive Summary:
The outline for this post entry here today was to present the bare celebrity role models and their infamous tattoos only. Those alone are sufficient evidence of the self-image of the inked performer, and the vitality of the concepts of SGL and nakedness have in their lives and in their livelihoods (profession).
Aaron, my spouse, conceived and developed the idea of adding the body painting segment. His justification being that the creativity in the art and messaging warranted their inclusion. Also, the colourful body paint offered a contrast to the monotony of the tattoo ink!
And finally, proof that we haven’t totally forgotten the occasion, all the best wishes for a happy and safe “heart day” to each of you! Enjoy the creation of the late gay artist, Keith Haring!
Happy St. Valentine’s Day, 2026!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 16, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “SGL + SNL = Soul!”
“The penny is now removed as valid currency, but honesty and sincerity remain valid and vital to the foundation of the bare practitioner community and culture!”
If we’re unable to be our true selves, how can we expect others to be truthful with us?
Naked hugs!

30 January 2026
Author’s Note: The next post entry is planned for tomorrow, Saturday, January 31, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Bottoms-Up! January, 2026!”
Whenever possible, offering or presenting more than what is expected or required does occasionally please and surprise the recipient. As this is the final week of the first month of a new year, 2026, now seems to be an appropriate time to put this theory into practice! Therefore, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is offering two different post entries (unrelated) here in one combined post entry. The more we share, the merrier we can all be!
Return To ReNude!
Over the recent winter holidays, while with my spouse, Aaron, and his family in Toronto, Canada, we deliberated and made the decision to resurrect one of the original monthly series initially published here: A Penny For My Thoughts. We had discontinued it after several years for no other reason than the fact that we were scarce on subjects to offer.
We are keeping the title and revising the format. It will now feature a quote with a brief description/explanation of the intent. We plan to remain simple as to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding.
The original posting was on the day before the other monthly series, Bottom’s-Up!, was published. We plan to continue with that same schedule.
The series will return here this upcoming Friday, 30 January 2026!
Naked hugs!
*************************
What Did We Miss?
Did we forget something?
The winter holiday visit with my spouse’s family in Toronto, Canada, was both busy and hectic. The time of the year (major holiday and holy day) and the mealtime gatherings made for a very social experience that left little “free-time” than normally available. Also, two of Aaron’s nephews (sons of different sisters) had two different puppies…and they needed their time with “Uncle Roger!”
Of course, I needed “my time” with my energetic and furry canine “nephews!”
Upon return, it seemed like only one afternoon of unplanned freedom before back to work at university and the start of Spring semester, 2026! A new schedule, new students and a new routine kept me in long office hours for all of two weeks. Two new colleagues at the job ensured an even longer than usual work day!
Since returning to the classroom, my mother had a medical emergency that forced to deal with the reality of a fateful return to Greece. Fortunately, it was a minor issue that my oldest brother over-reacted!
I’ve seriously neglected the blogs and sites that I follow! I humbly apologize and plan to use my time this weekend to return to my favourites and hopefully become current.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, January 30, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “A Penny For My Thoughts!”
Visually, I captured your attention with either the title of this post entry or with the header (opening picture) posted above. Don’t worry, I have given this posting here on NeNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! much forethought and even have an alternate header identified and am sharing it with you below:
Perhaps it is the use of both header images combined with the title that piqued your curiosity? Truthfully, it doesn’t matter at this point because you’re here and you’re reading, therefore, mission accomplished! On second thought, maybe it is the reality that today is a Friday and you habitually visit here on Mondays and Fridays to explore the current posting.
Excuse the soon upcoming pun (word play)! The naked truth of this post entry is that you’re here, I’m composing and Aaron, my spouse, is selecting pictures to illustrate the message! Plus, another weekend is almost upon us!
Introduction:
The questions (implied and/or real) are endless! Why the annual examination?Is something seriously wrong? Why the flowers under the penis? Did that anatomical organ win an award? What’s happening here? Are Aaron and Roger PUI (publishing under the influence)?
The topic we’re addressing here today is: penis – the primary feature of the male anatomy! Hopefully, nothing is physically wrong. The annual examination was the chosen title because it seems as though this subject matter – penis – needs to be explored/featured every year!
Depending on an individual’s cultural and/or personal affiliation, the penis is an object/organ of either confidence/pride or one of guilt/shame. The reasoning for this discrepancy varies among all of us and is not relevant to the specific purpose of this subject at this time.
As to the floral arrangement and the penis? No! The did not win an award or recognition although there are millions of men among us – bisexual, heterosexual and same gender loving (SGL) exclusives – who honestly believe their penis deserves an award! The giving of flowers to the penis could be an expression of gratitude for a service given or a mission fulfilled. The options for the reason are as countless and as varied as the strands of pubic hair at the base of the penis!
Footnote #1: We can explore that topic in a separate post entry!
For today and this particular posting, our focus is on the penis and the relevance to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! As to the annual need to be repetitive on this matter, I accept my responsibility here. In retrospect, I could and should have been more detailed and thorough in presenting this topic and in the information shared. I apologize for my failure to do so!
Not wasting any valuable time, let us commence our examination of the penis!
The Penis:
By definition, it is “the male organ of copulation in higher vertebrates and usually of urinary excretion in mammals” and/or “any of various copulatory organs in males of lower animals.”
Footnote #2: Second College Edition, The American Heritage Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Massachusetts
Basically, the penis is the human male anatomical feature for reproduction (sexual gratification) and for urine elimination. Relief and satisfaction as well as gender identification! So much information contained between two legs!
It is a constructive, essential and functional part of our body. It enables us to be the what and the who we truly are! We should all be accepting and appreciative of our penis! As bare practitioners, we especially admire and desire the penis! It is an anatomical feature of confidence and pride – not one of embarrassment, guilt, humiliation and/or shame!
Depending on our personal body and clothes freedom status, the penis is either concealed or exposed!
We encourage and endorse all of us to both respect and support the human right of each person to determine their own clothing status and their compliance with the law. Each person makes their own choice for themselves. We don’t have to agree with their decision, but we recognize their freedom to determine.
Considerations:
In the attached .gif images, the now retired openly gay adult film industry actor, Francois Sagat, has made his choice, as a bare practitioner, to undertake his fitness routine within the comfort of his nakedness. While doing so, he encounters another man along a stretch of deserted beach who happens to be textile (clothed) – his choice the opposite of Francois.
At this point, Francois – completely nude with no covering available – now has an audience, as does his totally exposed penis: flaccid, free and visible! Another man – totally textile! Sleeveless shirt and shorts, appropriate beach-ware!
In the encounter, neither man reacts to the other. Francois doesn’t even attempt to conceal his penis using his hand and the clothed man just remains seated along the beach, observing Francois yet not reacting to his obvious nakedness.
Neither man visibly interacts with the other. No wave of the hand nor a nod of the head. Not a frown, not even a judgmental stare. Francois Sagat does give a single stretch to his penis while his back is facing his covered audience and that is the extent of interaction between the two men.
Of course, we have no means to know the mental imaginings of bare practitioner Sagat and his “modest” accomplice! As his concealed audience he could possibly be imagining stripping off his clothing and dynamically exploring the beach with the other! Francois could maybe be dreaming the exact same situation. Numerous options are available to ponder – including those that may involve both judgment and/or violence.
Conclusion:
The intent and purpose of this post entry here today is to afford and offer to all a brief introductory examination of the penis and the role it presents to both our bare practitioner community and culture and to the textile community and culture. Part of this introductory examination includes the value that mutual recognition, respect and support offer to all of us, despite our differences in our engagement of nakedness.
The currently retired and openly gay Canadian bare practitioner film star, Race Cooper (birth name: Joseph Ross Anderson – pictured above) actively worked as an actor in the USA gay adult porn industry from 2009 – 2014. Prior to working in front of the camara, he worked “behind-the-scenes” at the film studio producing those films. He offered the following quote on homophobia and racism in the USA gay porn studios in an interview with The Pink News, London, England, U.K. on 10 June 2020.
“Homophobia and racism in the USA is the reasoning for discrimination and prejudice. It is part of the legacy of slavery. In Canada, race is just a difference. You shave your pubic hair, I let mine grow naturally. We’re both gay men, we’re just different in some ways.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Pubic hair is relevant to the penis? Yes! But that is not the sole reason for including this quote here. Think of the context and message of this post entry! To paraphrase: We’re both SGL men. We both have a penis. I proclaim mine with my nakedness. You hide yours with your clothes. We’re both gay men, we’re just different in some ways.
I must admit that I am impressed with the company that I am allowed to associate. Francois Sagat, Race Cooper and all of you! I need to hire a public relations specialist!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, January 26, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Combination!”
Author’s Note #2: With today’s anatomical theme (penis), it would be foolish to offer just one signature image!
Author’s Note #3: I can’t afford to offend any signature because of exclusion! Enjoy! Naked hugs!
