4 July, 1776: The Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, unanimously sign the Declaration of Independence that created the United States of America.
Patriotic gesture: USA flag briefs in his mouth!
Since that time, this date is popularly known as Independence Day!
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

1 July, 1867: Queen Victoria signs the British North America Act, creating the Dominion of Canada!
The British North America Act, now referred to as the Constitution Act, 1867, united three separate British colonies – Canada (Ontario and Quebec), New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – into one self-governing Dominion under the name of Canada while remaining in the sovereignty of the Crown.
His Majesty, King Charles III
On 27, May, 2025, King Charles III reads his Speech From the Throne of Canada reasserting Canada’s sovereignty over itself and the Canadian future!
Prime Minister Mark Carney requested that His Majesty, the King, to open a new Parliament and to reassert Canada over the belligerent threats from the president of the USA. This action reassured Canadians angered about annexation to the U.S.
Of course, we all know the limits of the mentality of the trumpster-dumpster (alias: rotund-rodent)!
Canada Day, 1 July, annually!
Map of Canada!
Since the British North America Act became real, the four original provinces covered within the parliamentary act (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Canada – Ontario and Quebec), through westward expansion, have now grown to become the Canada that we know today!

It is obvious that our bare practitioner community and culture isn’t the only organization observing June as a month of Pride! This rainbow coloured park bench is indicative that this same distinction is shared by this local recreation and parks agency also! This rainbow park bench serves as a reminder to us all that celebrating Pride is not limited solely to the month of June nor just to the GLBTQ+ population!
Even in a shallow water level, relaxing while enjoying nakedness is still considered the all-time favourite aquatic activity known as skinny-dipping (swimming naked)!
A bottoms-up! hairy pair of buttocks is all that’s necessary to mark the closure of Pride Month, 2025!

Summer, 2025, is here at last! Make every moment count in fun and in memory!
Enough sand, surf and sun for everyone!
This season won’t last forever! Enjoy it while we all can!
True! Summer comes once every year. A time to slower our pace in life and to savor and appreciate the beauty of our environment and of the joy and fulfillment of our family and friends! Relax and bask in sunshine as well as the freedom of outdoors – natural in our body and without the burden of clothes!
Rejuvenate and renude (renew) ourselves so this special season of “fun-in-the-sun” lasts us until it returns next year as the Summer, 2026!
A good book in the sun!
An important reminder: responsible alcohol consumption, sunglasses and sunscreen!
Skinny-dipping antics!
Guidelines for water safety urge all of us, no matter our aquatic abilities and skills, to always enter the water in the company of others in order to reduce chances of emergencies.

The arrival of our annual GLBTQ+ Pride Month celebrations encourages many within our community to experiment with the contemporary phenomena of selfie photography and/or posing. This engagement not only satisfies the curiosity and desire to explore the current obsession but to also provide them with a resource as to their appearance “in the eyes” of others.
This process offers them not only self-assurance but self-confidence as well. It affords them the opportunity to analyze their image but also judge themselves without making a public spectacle of their efforts. The privacy of their home environment enables them to comfortably express themselves as they have witnessed celebrities posing.
Creating these selfie pictures gives the self-photographer images to share with close friends to gain their thoughts on his posing. This additional insight often increases the number of poses a person may consider sharing with others and/or saving.
For those selfie creators who are unfamiliar with posing and photographing their nakedness, this presents them an ideal opportunity capture themselves in the bare practitioner mode (environment, setting). While gaining confidence with exposing their nakedness, it affords them the chance to share themselves with others through sharing their images.
This enables familiarity with body and clothes freedom. It no longer is a distant and foreign concept or practice but one that comes closer to comfort and reality – a sense of “normal” and routine. Another step in the journey towards bare practitioner! The process of exploration awakens knowledge and understanding.
This experience affords to some all that is necessary to pursue the lifestyle of an active bare practitioner. For the majority, it offers insight – a glimpse – into the community and culture and what it entails and promotes. This introduction does, hopefully, give birth to a respect and a tolerance towards all persons who are or become bare practitioners!
Advice!

“Same gender loving and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 28 March, 2022
In a more exemplary manner, I offer the following summation for today’s theme here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! for pondering:
“Man designs fashions. Man makes clothes. Man makes mistakes! The measure of a man isn’t based on the clothes that he wears. The true measure of a man is determined by the clothes that he is not wearing! Bare is the perfection of the human body without the mistakes.” ~ Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos ~

It is GLBTQ+ Pride Month, 2025! My professional experience and training is in education which includes challenges and creativity in conveying information and ideas using whatever methods available. This enables me to assess my effectiveness in communication. From this point until you receive your naked hugs in conclusion, everyone proceeds at their own comfort level.
Background:
In reality, today is Sunday, 25 May, 2025. I am composing this for publication on Friday, 13 June, 2025, here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! This removes me from having to write an entry for the proverbial “bad luck” (unlucky) day of Friday, the 13th. This also spares each and every one of you from reacting to a post created on that unpopular date!
Can You?

The Opening Footnote:
This post entry here is the originally announced “Batters Up!” publication promoted here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! as the featured posting for Friday, 23 May, 2025. The delay was caused by a last-minute technicality! This entry is an updated version of the intended photo-essay offering.
Bare practitioner: Beaux Banks!
Introduction:
Today’s featured guest/model here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is familiar to many – his screen name is Beaux Banks (birth name: Jermayne Michael Largent) and he hails from Annapolis, Maryland, USA. He began his career as a model for Andrew Christian underwear prior to his becoming a gay porn star and choreographer. Beaux is 5’6″ tall – 168 cm – and weighs 149 lbs. – 68 kg.
He was born on 19 September, 1993, and was raised by an adopted family. He graduated from Annapolis Secondary School followed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Campus. His heritage background is African-American, Caucasian and Pacific Islander.
Both personally and professionally, he is an exclusive beta-man. He openly admits to having only once performing in the alpha-position privately. Despite being very fashion conscious, he confesses to be comfortable whenever he can be bare (clothes free)!
As a sign of his future endeavours, it is no surprise that Beaux became a sensation based on the popularity of his National Coming Out Day (NCOD) series. His buttocks were awarded a strenuous “swinging workout” for that project.
Beaux Banks: bubble-licious buttocks and testicles!
Beaux’s Pride Series:
Beaux Banks “bubbled” with confidence and delight while posing for this photo series created for the NCOD anniversary early in his career. This was just prior to his gay porn industry debut.
Beaux’s Baseball Batter Series:
During his gay film industry performances, he confidently posed as a baseball player and demonstrated that he certainly knew how to swing both a baseball bat and his buttocks. In viewing the accompanying .gif clips from the series, we arrive at an even summation as to which device – anatomical (buttocks) – or athletic (baseball bat) – he is most proficient and skilled in operating.
Ultimate Goal:
Beaux received his undergraduate degree in social services from the University of Maryland. Several years ago, he acknowledged that once he departs the gay porn industry, his long-term dream is to become a counselor advocate for SGL sex workers. A worthy and much needed career goal, Beaux Banks!

Bare Practitioner:same gender loving and embracing nakedness as both community and culture. An enthusiastic advocate of the right to love and of body and clothes freedom.
Body and clothes freedom!
Naked is defined as without clothing on the body. Without addition, concealment, disguise or embellishment. Nude.
Nude is defined as without clothing or naked. The condition of being unclothed.
Introduction:
Mutual body and clothes freedom!
Bare! Body! Clothes free! Naked! Natural! Naturist! Nude! Nudity! Nudist! All of these terms/words refer to the fact that we are uncovered (without clothing)! We are completely visible without even a single thread concealing any part of our natural body. Identical to the state of our birth. Not a single one of us were born wearing anything! Hallelujah!
Yours truly at a local park in Arlington, Virginia, USA!
My name is Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos. As many of you already know, I am the co-author and the creator of this site: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! I am a same gender loving (SGL) man – gay – Deaf and of direct Greek heritage (both of my parents were born in the Kingdom of Greece).
Aaron, my spouse!
This is Aaron M. Peterson-Poladopoulos, my spouse. He is also the co-author and photographer of this site. Obviously, he is also SGL and is of African-Canadian descent. Aaron’s family is of the Yoruba ethnic tribe from the city of Ibadan, located in western Nigeria. Both Canada and Nigeria are Commonwealth entities. We have been legally married since 2015, a year after marriage equality was officially adopted here in the USA, our country of residence.
The both of us are confidently and proudly bare practitioners (SGL and naturist/nudist). We wear clothes when necessary but both of us prefer being without any garment whatsoever! As enthusiastic bare practitioner advocates, we are equally responsible for the theme of today’s post entry here.
Honest and simple advice!
We sincerely encourage all of you here today to join with us in nakedness and pride whenever possible!
*************************
Bare Practitioners:
Bare practitioners!
As an integral component grouping of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ community and culture, bare practitioners often encounter awkward and discomforting situations not only because of our SGL status, but also due to our textile (clothing) – or our lack thereof. We are neither forcing nor intimidating anyone into our body and clothes freedom world, instead we are celebrating the enablement to just be ourselves: SGL and nakedness!
Progress Pride Flag body painted on himself!
Our man in the above photograph is very confident and proud of his bare practitioner identity. He has our SGL Progress Pride rainbow flag body painted on his nakedness while he’s participating in the London, UK, World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR)! His smile demonstrates his comfort and joy in being honest and open about his body freedom and his sexuality! Both Aaron and I salute his brotherhood, reality and sincerity! Take care and stay bare, our friend!
*************************
Our Confidence Is Evident:
Bare under the bridge!
Our man in this series of pictures here is not only proud of his sexuality, he’s also assured and bold in sharing publicly his bare practitioner affiliation!
Submerged bare practitioner pride!
He combines his SGL nature and his body and clothes freedom preference and skinny dips (swims naked) without a care in the world!
His rainbow pride colours raised high!
He confidently flaunts both his bare body and his sexuality while posing and promoting his message: “I am my own man without guilt and/or shame!”
Bottoms-up! near the underwater bottom!
A philosophy that many of us who are bare practitioners endorse and proclaim wholeheartedly!
*************************
Confidence and Pride!
Compatibility!
Being a bare practitioner isn’t an obligation to publicly reveal one’s personal character and identity. Each person determines their own comfort level in presenting themselves to others. The majority of us, bare practitioners or otherwise, are more amenable to others who we perceive as most like us and similar to ourselves. This is a human instinct that most of us believe, feel, nurture and share among ourselves.
Our bare practitioner affinity and appreciation aren’t based on or defined solely by our willingness to allow others to interpret or judge our nakedness and/or our sexuality. Our being what and who we are is determined completely by our private discretion, personal emotional capacity, and self-acceptance. If we need to confide in another, it is our choice, and we need to engage in the dialogue when we are comfortable. Otherwise, we await on our respective decision to proceed.
For everyone!
*************************
Poetic Justice:
An important message inked on his genital area!
Reign is the stage name of our bare practitioner brother welcoming us here. Just above his pubic hairline, he has “unashamed” tattooed on his skin. His meaning is obviously visible for all. There is no embarrassment, guilt or shame associated with either his nakedness and/or his sexuality!
He prefers nakedness over clothing and has no issue in publicly endorsing both body and clothes freedom and his exclusive same gender loving sexuality. Reign is a very honest and open man who lives his life being himself and “unashamed!”
My Naked Life
by Roger Poladopoulos
I am naked and I am me.
I am the man the man I want to be.
When I am naked, I am nude,
Living life with a positive attitude.
I am naked and I am me.
I am the man I want to be.
When I am nude, I am also proud,
Whether alone or among a crowd.
I am naked and I am me.
I am the man I want to be.
When I am nude, I am living free,
I know that clothes are not for me.
I am naked and I am me.
I am the man I want to be.
When I am nude, I clear my mind,
Gone are the clothes that hide and bind.
I am naked and I am me.
I am the man I want to be.
The End. Composed on 5 July, 2011 at a clothes free beach.

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.

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!
