USA: Black History Month, 2025!

USA: The month of February, annually!

Prologue:

The use of the Liberation Tricolour (above) is appropriate for this post entry here on ReNude Pride. Today, 1 February, marks the first day of Black History Month in the USA. I am legally married to a Black man, Aaron, who is African-Canadian. His heritage is with the Yoruba Tribe of west Africa. As my spouse, we are both co-administrators of this site.

We both reside here in the USA and have dual citizenships and passports: Aaron/Canada and myself/Greece. We both celebrate Black History Month not just during February but throughout the entire year. We cordially invite you to join with us!

Introduction: Black History Month, 2025

The USA’ s Black History Month represents the bold and brave official determination and recognition of a concept and ideal that historically evolved from the racial community and culture which it honours: African-American.

Carter G. Woodson, “Father of Black History Month, USA”

The founder of this occasion, Carter G. Woodson, was himself an inspired, insightful, and proud Black man. When first initiated, it was a new, provocative and radical concept. At that time, all of the entire continent of Africa, with the exception of Ethiopia and Liberia, was under colonial rule. The United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Italy controlled the land, the people and their destinies.

In the USA, Black people lived and worked under segregation (separateness), second-class citizenship and worse. There were no Black pride, Black lives matter nor Black civil rights movements. Discrimination and marginalization were in effect without recourse, nationwide, of the then 48 states by law. It was also practiced nationally (by social custom) until the very late 1950s.

African heritage!

Despite the practically universal global policy of being marginalized (set aside as inferior) and oppressed (dominated), the history of the Black people’s accomplishments and achievements in the USA exceeded and surpassed imaginations. From enslavement to triumphant, African-Americans have not only survived, they have thrived to become a remarkable example of glory, integrity and success.

Black History Month is a time of reflection and rejoicing due to the dreams, efforts and ideals of Carter G. Woodson, affectionately and respectfully known as the “Father of Black History.” Through his dedication and tireless promotion, the foundations (seeds) of history and knowledge were planted and nourished within the minds of old and young, poor and rich throughout the USA. Because of him, Black history is now synonymous with American history and the two are now united.

Carter Godwin Woodson, later in life!

Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson was an African-American author, historian, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASAALH). He was among the first scholars to to study the African diaspora, especially African-American experiences and history.

Carter Godwin Woodson

Born: December 19, 1875

Birthplace: New Canton, Virginia, USA

Died: April 3, 1950

Deathplace: Shaw neighbourhood, Washington, D.C., USA

Education: Harvard University, Berea College, University of Chicago

Organizations founded: Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASAALH)

Aware of pre-existing commemorations of Black history, organized locally by primarily Black churches and schools, Woodson created Negro History Week around traditional days of honouring the Black American past, the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (February 14). He encouraged people to extend their focused study of African-American history, not to create a new tradition. Woodson believed that history was made by the people, not simply or primarily by great men.

“Sankofa” Adinkra symbol!

The Sankofa Adinkra symbol is an appropriate conclusion for this posting, “Black History Month, 2025!” We are indeed wise to learn from our past, as often as necessary, in order to face our future!

Comfortable Routine!

A cup of hot cocoa!

Introduction:

Probably all of us have some semblance of a routine that we follow daily, whether in the morning when we wake up or at the end of the day before we crawl back into bed. This routine can be varied and replaced when necessary, but it does provide us with a sense of familiarity, relaxation, and security. Basically, our very own “comfort zone” that helps us to survive the extraordinary circumstances of our everyday lives.

In the heading (image) above, Sean Xavier, our bare practitioner subject for this portion of today’s post, incorporates time into his awakening routine, regardless of the location or the season, for his cup of cocoa as he prepares to begin his daily business. He contemplates his schedule while enjoying the opportunity to reflect on necessities and priorities. A calm and peaceful launch of another day in his life!

Sean is also very thoughtful during his morning quality time. He uses this opportunity to respond to fans of his films, both online and through the postal service. Sometimes criticized for being too strict in insisting on retaining his body hair, he confesses to shaving himself when he was younger and first entered the SGL porn industry as a male model (bare) and then later as a film actor. He admits to lacking the experience, was intimidated by others and in awe of the film executives who ordered him to shave his chest hair.

Now, he is confident, experienced, mature, wiser and “proud of myself and all of my body hair – armpits, chest and pubic!” Once Sean was recognized as a gay porn icon, his contract with Lucas Entertainment was re-negotiated to allow him determination in retaining his chest hair.

Sean Xavier: hairy and smiling!

Sean Xavier: Vitals

Birthdate: January 16, 1988

Birthname: Kyle Overton

Birthplace: Victorville, California, USA

Height: 6’0″ (183 cm)

Weight: 169 lbs. (77kg)

Head Hair: Natural, close cropped

Body Hair: Natural, moderate (armpits, chest, pubic)

Sexuality: Gay

A relaxing glass of wine!

In the image above, we are now joined on this portion of today’s post entry by Gio Dell, our celebrity escort, model and fellow bare practitioner. He hails from Venezuela, South America, and appears in more photographs without clothing than he does wearing garments. A true model from the very “core” of both our community and culture! One unique aspect of his model career is his reluctance to pose when one of the contract guidelines require the removal of his body hair. His head may be bald but his hirsute nakedness is a source of pride!

Gio has also appeared in more than a few SGL film scenes produced by independent and/or private studios. Evidently, the notoriety of an extremely publicly successful gay porn star doesn’t align with his pleasurable male escort service that also features his half-brother, Armani! His home office is in New York City and both he and Armani are willing to travel wherever they’re needed.

Both Gio and Armani openly acknowledge growing up in a household that accepted nudity as a lifestyle not in conflict with their Catholic faith. Gio, the older of the two, is more enthusiastic about being clothes free. Clothing optional beaches are always popular destinations for them both!

As he welcomes an end of a day in his life, Gio sips some wine and reads a book in order to calm himself before retiring for the night. He takes the time necessary to relax and focus away from his daily routine. This enables him to distance himself – emotionally, mentally and physically – from all and any challenges and/or conflicts he may have endured.

Gio Dell: skinny-dipping in the pool!

Origin: near Caracas, Venezuela, South America

Height: 6’1′ (185 cm)

Head Hair: Bald (shaved)

Body Hair: Natural, profuse (armpits, buttocks, chest, pubic)

Sexuality: Gay

*************************

The Comfort Message:

Both of the bare practitioners pictured here today, Sean Xavier and Gio Dell, involve their nakedness into their tranquility strategy. They’re both comfortable bare; this inclusion allows them to eliminate distraction and to use this aspect to process the “change of direction” they are preparing to undergo. A “fresh start” to a new day or a “safe return” to home at the end. Sean and Gio recognize and understand the role comfort and familiarity have in building habit and normalcy into their existence.

As this new year of 2025 progresses, hopefully, the majority of us will return to the pattern of comfort and familiarity – routine – in our daily lives. This restoration encourages a sense of balance between both the known and the unknown. It enables our daily resumption of habit and of hope!

After all, if each day begins and ends by way of custom or habit, then what is in between – the spontaneous – approaches tolerable! It affords us the prime opportunity for a different and exciting new adventure every day!

Following our established pathways towards calm and comfort gives us “permission” to bridge our journey from the “spontaneous” into the routine. It offers each of us a loving and supportive “pat-on-the-back” for what we have accomplished and survived: a job well done!

Notation:

The purpose of this post entry is to reinforce the importance of relaxation and rest in our lives. Even though Sean presented the “start” of the day and Gio the “end,” there is no rule against performing them both on the same day, as often as needed. An extra step towards mental health, peace and success!

Naked hugs!

Word-Play Post!

A Vintage Image!

Alternate Title: ReNude Bare Meet!

A word-play is the use of wording (words) to convey a mixed meaning or unusual idea.

Jay and Roger meet!

Translated Title: Renewed Nude Encounter!

Headline: On this historic date, 3 January, 2009, Jay and Roger first met…

The amicable bonding, camaraderie, companionship, friendship, and trust that was initiated through chance, destiny, fate, spontaneity and “being at the right place at the right time” happened at a gay bar, downtown Washington, D.C., USA, when on this afternoon a SGL nudist oriented social club held a naked cocktail hour social…

Abbreviated version: Today marks the day of the start of our friendship…that began in an atmosphere of excitement and hope! Barack Obama had just been elected as the next president after eight long, boring, dull years of the reign of George II (Bush)! A new year had just arrived and the energetic uplifting of spirits flowed throughout the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area and beyond!

To our knowledge and recollection, Jay and I had never seen one another before this day. This meeting occurred on an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon in January. In a region not noted for unusually warm temperatures during this month. The event was a monthly social nudity “cocktail hour” that rarely attracted the large attendance as it achieved on that particular day. The balmy weather may have impacted the crowd, as the majority arrived wearing T-shirts and shorts before stripping naked!

Naked truth!

When I arrived at the bar, I registered and paid my admission fee. The line waiting to enter the ground floor changing room was long, so I decided to use the changing room on the second floor. After stripping and storing my street clothes, I descended the stairs into the bar area. It was packed with wall-to-wall bare men! I noticed one vacant table-for-two in the far corner and that became my goal!

The crowd was elbow-to-elbow (frequently accidental penis-to buttocks)! The friendliest and largest good-natured crowd I’d ever seen at a “naked cocktail” event. Once I’d finally arrived in the corner area, the table-for-two I’d seen from the stairs was occupied by Jay – solo. I wrote him a note explaining my being Deaf and asked if he was sitting alone. He welcomed me to join him and we exchanged first names.

We passed notes back and forth while becoming acquainted. After about an hour, Jay let me know that he took 3 years of American Sign Language (ASL) at university to satisfy his foreign language requirement but his skills were awkward and underused. I encouraged him to renew his experience and soon we were communicating totally manually. His fluency returned quickly and what he couldn’t recall we employed fingerspelling.

The more than three hours that we spent together revealed to us both a substantial “shared interest” in numerous topics, authors, sports, entertainment, etc. Of particular was our similar adaptation and familiarity with nudity in our lives and awareness of our same gender attraction. Before we even finished our bottles of water, the “naked cocktail” happy hour was ending and clothed patrons were arriving. Before we departed to our changing areas, we exchanged email addresses and messaging contacts and vowed to keep connected.

Bare friendship!

Surprisingly, we both commenced sharing emails that same Saturday evening. Our communication continued several emails per day throughout the following week. We approached the topic of meeting again the next Saturday but were uncertain as to exactly what that day entailed as we each had a previous engagement to attend. Not one that we were comfortable bringing another new friend to include.

The following Saturday arrived with weather the exact opposite – actually, extreme opposite – of the day that we met. It was blustering winds and the outside temperatures hovered at freezing even in the full sun. I ventured to a local bookstore before my early afternoon encounter with friends. While browsing in the aisles of books, several times I passed a man who was vaguely familiar. Each passing we made eye contact but I was unable to identify him. I found a title that interested me and lined up to make my purchase.

In an exchange of emails that evening, one week after we met, Jay mentioned that he was in a bookshop in Arlington and as he was leaving he saw me in line buying a book! All bundled in coats, scarves, gloves and hats, neither of us recognized the other! We’d only interacted together while bare, never while wearing clothes! Now, had we visited the booksellers in our respective nakedness…?

Bare support!

Jay nor I had ever had this “identity-crisis” happen before despite our years of nudity experiences. Nor could we relate to others who shared similar circumstances. Jay remarked that we needed to create and to edit a naked book of world records along the lines of Guinness!

Later, I did inquire how Jay identified me buying a book. He responded that I had removed my knit cap and that he recognized my shaved head! Once we begin to remove our coverings (concealment), familiarity returns! Nude does indeed work as an identification essential!

Naked truth!

The proverbial words of wisdom: “clothes make the man” obviously failed in this instance between Jay and myself. Clothes determined only chaos and confusion! Left to our body and clothes freedom preference, I’m quite certain we would not have suffered any confusion regarding having previously met – although the frigid outdoor temperatures would have caused discomfort!

Both Jay and I agree this incident – which helped build our friendship – offers proof that nude is both better and simpler! As ardent bare practitioners, we know the message above extols both reality and honest truth!

Naked hugs!

What the ?

What did he do now?

When encountering the image depicted above, the initial question that occurred to me was: What did he do now? Then, I remembered the proverbial communication expression: “it’s as plain as the nose on your face!” First, unless I have a mirror in front of my face, there is no nose conveniently visible to my naked eye (intentional pun) and if our man hiding his face doesn’t move his hand, then there is no nose for him to see, either!

Now, let’s take one step backwards. The subject in the referenced photo is male – his penis is apparent. Probably, he’s not embarrassed about being seen in his total nakedness. In that type of situation, most people would automatically attempt to conceal their genitalia. That’s not a masculine trait, that is essentially a human reaction!

Manual concealment!

Our man hiding his face evidently has no issue or problem with giving us a full view of him, frontally, complete with his penis! His bare confidence is commendable. He is a living tribute to our community of bare practitioners!

There are quite a number of persons who are hesitant – if not outright hostile – to having their picture taken while nude. Primarily if they are unfamiliar with the photographer and/or are skeptical about what the photo’s purpose may be. These considerations are understandable with countless people having conflicts over unauthorized postings of themselves onto the internet.

On a more positive notation, perhaps it is our man’s birthday. He is indeed surprised at a birthday celebration secretly planned in his honour – one with him wearing only his infamous “birthday suit” (clothes free)!

Happy birthday, man!

Naked hugs!

Friday Footnote: 13!

Background:

For all of my life, I had matured with the understanding that the date, Friday, the 13th, was always associated with being unfortunate and unlucky. A practically universal date that was to be avoided at any cost and time. It wasn’t until I met Aaron, my spouse, in 2010, that I ever learned the specific reason for this distinction. Unsure of how widespread this knowledge is, I’d like to share that information with all of you now.

His misfortune? Unable to strip off his partner’s boxers!

Prologue:

There are approximately three major reasons for the association of the cause of Friday the 13th being considered unlucky. One reason is from a Norse legend and the other two are from the Christian religion.

The Norse (Viking) legend relates how twelve of their gods were having a dinner while in Valhalla. The trickster god, Loki, wasn’t invited but he arrived anyway. He caused a disturbance that resulted in the god, Hoor, shooting and killing the god, Balder, with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Upon his death, the Earth darkened and mourned.

One of the Christian origins is that when the Last Supper was held, the evening before his Crucifixion, twelve disciples shared the meal with Jesus Christ. Judas, who would betray him, would have been the thirteenth person present at that meal.

The second Christianity inspired tale concerns the Crusader initiated Order of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon (Knights Templar). They were the order created by a papal edict and charged with the protection of the holy relics and sites in Jerusalem after the Crusades. They also established the first international banking system and financed Christian pilgrims who traveled to the Holy Lands.

On Friday, 13 October, 1307, King Philip IV of France, who was heavily in debt to the order, commanded their arrest and torture before having them burned at the stake. Philip IV then had the papal edict dissolved and revoked.

Introduction:

All of us, no matter our textile (clothing, covering) status nor our sexuality, have endured predicaments and situations in our lives when we’ve felt ourselves depressed, doomed, failure and unlucky. For some, those attitudes/emotions were perhaps, in some way, associated with the “unlucky number 13.” More than likely, the unfortunate number was in no way related to the actual circumstance. It happened and our planet continued to rotate around the sun (life continued).

For the Knights Templar, the fate of the established order and the lives of many of their members was indeed a tragedy and it began on Friday the 13th. An historical fact based on the infamous greed of the French king and his unwillingness to honour his legitimate and valid debt. Some of the Knights Templar survived the abandonment of their order. their vows and the prestige surrounding it. Even today, numerous rumour and tales of the continued existence of the Knights Templar are believed by some and investigated by others.

Once again, human nature manages to survive and to thrive. We may never know the actual truth; that’s the reason we have a word such as “legend.” It simply may or it may not be reality. While we know historical facts, we are free to contemplate alternate realities.

Their misfortune? Their inability to remove their briefs!

One of the unfortunate reasons that the tale of the Friday the 13th catastrophe remains with us now in the 21st Century is that it provides us with an explanation as to what actually happened to the Knights Templar. They were an exceptional order and organization created by a pope entrusted with the care and preservation of the holy sites of Christianity and the safety of the pilgrims who visited there.

It is convenient and easy to place the blame for their abandonment, betrayal and destruction on the incompetent and irresponsible actions of the French king. It helps to enhance their legacy and their memory throughout history. No one should blame them. The order itself was above reproach! After all, it was the fault of Philip IV and it was caused by his greed and blatant lack of any sort of obligation and/or responsibility for his massive debts.

Undoubtedly, the inefficiency of the monarch did provide an excuse for many. Philip IV’s reputation was common knowledge among the elite of his time. After all, he was a flagrant fool who chose greed as more important than his deity.

Misfortune? He is an exhibitionist, unable to be a bare practitioner!

Addendum:

The above .gif image shows us one of the unfortunate and extremely unlucky predicaments suffered by humanity. The depicted man is only an exhibitionist. He’s only able to try to confuse, degrade, impose, intimidate and insult sincere and true bare practitioners! His purpose is not to exalt his nakedness. His evil intent is to shock and surprise others, not matter their clothing status and/or sexuality by exposing his anatomical features to all. In reality, he, himself, is too afraid, embarrassed and humiliated by his personal nudity!

His discomfort and his insecurity surrounding his guilt and shame over his body is the fact that he’s unsure of his appearance if he’s clothes free. Therefore, he can only exhibit his genitalia and little else. He’s also apprehensive and vulnerable about his total nakedness! He seriously lacks attention and recognition from his peers and resorts to exhibitionism to try to affirm himself! He has absolutely no courage and no self-confidence whatsoever!

It is indeed regrettable that he is has no feelings nor sense of self-esteem or self-worth!

*************************

Perhaps it is time for us all to pause for a moment and consider an examination of this numerical “name game.” After all, none of us want to earn the designation of “Triple F!” Flagrant Fool Follower!

Bottoms-Up! August, 2024!

Baring himself for bottoms-up day!

The month of August begins with the letter “A.” So does the anatomical feature that our buttocks represent: “ass” also begins with the letter “A.” Finally, August is the final full (complete) month of the summer season here in the Northern Hemisphere, so we’re publishing aquatics – another “A” designation – as our theme. So have a very happy, safe and successful bottoms-up! day!

Baring himself to commemorate the occasion!

Our man above is incorporating his lake visit into his bottoms-up! commemoration of his clothes free and very visible ass honouring the monthly occasion to celebrate!

BUD = Bottoms-Up! Diversity!

All cultures, ethnicities and races are always welcome to bottoms-up! participation as we all admire each and every pair of buttocks presented!

Bottoms-up! vintage from the early 1960s!

Bottoms-Up! appreciation and expression isn’t a relatively new idea to our community and culture. In the vintage picture above, the hairstyles reflect the early 1960s time period.

Bottoms-up! multitude!

Flying High!

Awaiting departure!

The reality isn’t as it appears in the above image. Despite dreams and fantasies, it isn’t always possible for bare practitioners to actually transport themselves in the body and clothes freedom style. In a private airplane, perhaps but there are exceptions for every possibility. The pilot may not require garments but the airport probably does. So erase the myth that Aaron and I are travelling with our nakedness unimpeded!

In order to reach our destination, we have to comply with the law. Unfortunately, what we decide is best for the both of us but it doesn’t always please the remainder of the passengers. The ultimate goal of today’s post entry here is to travel from “Point A” (the Washington, D.C., USA, National Airport) to “Point B” (the landing facility near my mother’s house). Her home is located on the island of Skyros, Greece. This has been the paternal heritage of my family for centuries. The purpose of this trip? A long overdue visit to spend quality time with Mama and the remainder of my family – immediate and extended – in residence there.

My spouse, Aaron, and I depart later today and hopefully will safely arrive on Skyros and accomplish our mission. The visit is only for eight days of refreshing renewal Mama, my brothers and family. The “header” image (above) shows a fellow traveler seated on his luggage in a departure terminal. As both Aaron and I are ardent and loyal bare practitioners, allow me to assure everyone that we are not so totally foolish as to even attempt today’s journey in our nakedness. Admittedly, our dream may be to one day undergo the adventure in complete body and clothes freedom, we both understand that undertaking isn’t happening today!

Underway to terminal!

Also, the title of this posting is Flying High! Patience, please, and permit me to clarify the fact that neither one of us is under the influence of any mind-altering substance of any kind. If we’re unable to travel in our natural state then why bother to even think of trying to do so mentally altered?

More than likely, no one else made the assumption of us contemplating to take the trip nude. We confirm our fantasy of preferring to do so but reality doeto composes occasionally grasp our attention and influence our behaviour!

The absurdity and brevity of this topic reflects the anxious attitudes in preparation of departure. It is much easier and simpler to compose and publish humour than to even attempting present a serious idea and then fail miserably! Plus, the accompanying pictures were available and convenient!

Interracial bare practitioner couple representing us!

Additionally, this is the day after our actual ninth wedding anniversary! Another reason to celebrate with Mama and the rest of the family.

I’ll also go to the cemetery and spend time at Papa’s grave. Whenever I return to Skyros, I always include quiet time there – alone. We’ve had some convenient conversations together since he was interred there. While I’m there, this gives Aaron and Mama their “time” together, without me being around!

Naked hugs!

Visually Verified?

A revealing tan-line!

Tan-Lines: Bare Proof?

Bare affection: kiss!

Obviously, the absence of or the presence of tan-lines is often seen as verifiable proof of our status as a bare practitioner. However, is it irrefutable as to our personal identification or merely a reflection of our access to the freedom and frequency of our nakedness? A very legitimate consideration before the rendering of a determination.

A vague tan-line!

As members of a primarily social species, can a single person be viewed as a bare practitioner based on the reality that he/she lacks the companionship of others who share the camaraderie and fellowship of nudity? Without the company of others, many may simply not possess the opportunity to express themselves clothes free and relaxed. Given the current obsession of the broader society for clothing and fashion, is this an equitable and fair criteria to use in deciding their social status?

Communally bare!

We all live in areas and regions that encompass a broad range of persons of different and varied heritages, including ethnicities and races. With these variations come our abilities to respond to the rays of sunlight exposure. Skin tones and their reaction to ultraviolet light are caused by our individual genetic traits and the amount of time that we are exposed to direct sunlight.

Another factor is the quality of sunscreen that we utilize. There is no “standard” or predetermined regulation of components for the manufacture of sunscreen that is universally recognized. The varying results of this lack of uniformity creates a spectrum of results within all humans. None of us are identical in the final analysis.

Laundry day!

My spouse, Aaron, and I have had discussions over the years of these topics (and others) regarding the frequency of tan-lines on display in photographic depictions of nudity. Admittedly, our earlier sharing of these causes focused on the absurdity of the images themselves. Why proudly allow pictures that suggest our endorsement of garments be published?

This question was almost immediately followed by others that ranged from respective comfort with nakedness to environmental and professional situations that were possible explanations for their existence. Interacting on this subject, we agreed that encompassing a post entry on this subject was worthy of publishing here on ReNude Pride.

Bare without shame!

It was while composing this brief publication on tan-lines that the idea occurred to me. Perhaps the reason for the existence of a tan-line was that the individual was exploring nudism for the very first time!

Naked hugs!

August Awakening!

Waking up on a “live” pillow!

Personally, it feels as though this summertime has only just begun. Yesterday was the official “first day of summer,” and now here we are, the month of August is already upon us! Where did the month of July disappear? It was in the future, and now it is a memory. I readily admit to being somewhat sluggish at the end of June, but I honestly didn’t foresee taking a nap that would include the entire month of July!

A dreamland pillow!

This season has been enjoyable, exciting and productive – as most summers usually are – without the usual drama that happens when the heat affects the temper levels. Perhaps one of the reasons this season has been relatively “drama-free” is due to having restful and sufficient amounts of sleep. This may be attributed to the fact that living natural pillows, on which to lay our head, are remarkably available and many bare practitioners are taking advantage! A good night’s sleep gives amazing rewards for those who indulge!

Our couples featured above illustrate the modern marvel known as living natural pillows. They’re accommodating, flexible and are accompanied by a sincere desire to please. Of course, reciprocity is expected and that merely involves taking turns providing the headrest! Everything more than that depends on the compatibility of the couple engaged in dreamland!

Beach bedding!

Not everyone has the same sense of privacy that others hold, especially during the freedom that summer provides us. Many take to napping and slumber while in the rays from the sun. Stroll along any beach, waterfront or pool deck and countless persons will be lounging and sleeping while doing so. There’s no law against it so why not enjoy it?

It is also vitally important to ascertain that all of us understand that living natural pillows entail the use of the buttocks of one person as the living natural pillow of another person. I’ll qualify one of the requirements from my personal experience. I’ve never rested my weary head on the buttocks of anyone recently deceased. I’m not sure if I could ever bring myself to relax during an exchange such as involving a close encounter with a dead person. For that reason, “living” is an essential aspect of the human pillow!

Compliance?

An equally essential component of the living natural pillow experience is the agreement, compliance and/or understanding between the involved persons as to what specifically the participation actually includes. For some, the possibility of being a pillow for another person is repugnant. They only want to be the person with their head on someone else’s buttocks! Role-playing isn’t one of their stronger features.

My spouse, Aaron, offers that for some couples, the usual aspects of alternating roles of accommodation are determined to not be applicable. This decision is based on their personal preference and mutual consent. If this is agreeable to them, then they are free to follow whatever is satisfactory.

Comfort and tranquility!

Naked hugs and enjoy your pillow: whatever style you have!
