That does not mean that we need to get dressed now!
Our clothes freedom is not limited or restricted to just this one week of the entire year! Our nakedness is welcome throughout all the year! Often, Aaron (my spouse) and I have used the final day of Nude Recreation Week as a day to rejuvenate ourselves from the week-long event! A week of fun can sometimes be very tiring!
Floatation recuperation #1!
Which definitely doesn’t eliminate floatation as a legitimate method of recuperation! It is obviously designed as a viable tool for Nude Recreation Week!
Floatation recuperation #2!
It is both refreshing and relaxing and is a very comfortable method of spending our leisure time – especially while skinny-dipping!
Floatation recuperation #3!
All bare practitioners instantly qualify for this method of hanging out the summer afternoons without the stress of finding something appropriate and creative to wear!
I hope everyone had a terrific Nude Recreation Week! Remember: no clothing required!
Naked hugs!

Reign: Unashamed on Bare Practitioner’s Day, 2023!
TODAY IS BARE PRACTITIONER’S DAY, 2023!
July 14, annually
A day for us to celebrate, honour and salute us for being ourselves!
We’ve just completed the entire month of June as GLBTQ+ Pride Month. We’re now observing Nude Recreation Week. Do we really need a Bare Practitioner’s Day to supplement the festivities? Is our ultimate goal an entire year of commemorations and/or occasions? A thoughtless retort to such a ridiculous suggestion is: Yes!
Is it necessary to question our every reason to enjoy being us? Are we all in danger of having such unfulfillment in our lives that we need to exploit opportunities to extol our characteristics that have created us in the uniqueness that we all enjoy? Unfortunately, in today’s world, the possibilities of our being denied give us little alternative.
A bare practitioner is a person who openly (without reservation or shame) accepts and acknowledges being same gender loving (bisexual or gay) and a naturist/nudist. Confident and proud, a bare practitioner endorses the community and culture shared by all, free from judgment and prejudice. Bare Practitioner’s Day is our day to celebrate, commemorate and dedicate to all of us being ourselves! We respect this for everyone and expect the same in return!
Gio Dell, oceanside bare practitioner!
The majority of us bare practitioners (same gender loving naturists/nudists) openly acknowledge that our way of life – freedom from embarrassment, guilt, humiliation or shame for being same gender loving and body and clothes free advocates – is nothing that any of us need to conceal. It is what and who we basically are. It is our right to be ourselves. Throughout history, society has deemed us as being perverse. We have been ridiculed, punished, denied equality and even attacked and beaten because of who we are. Therefore, culturally we have all earned the right to be and celebrate ourselves!
Equality for all!
For all of those persons who find discomfort in being bare around others, we all accept their level of comfort and their need for clothing. We may not understand – yet we concede their right to be different. For all of those persons who are unable to comprehend our affection and attraction for our same gender, it is our reality. We don’t share the same feelings but that’s fine. All of us have the right to be different!
Varying levels of physical exposure!
What is of primary importance is that we tolerate and understand these variations in our levels of comfort and respect everyone’s right to be who they truly are. If an aspect of someone else’s life makes us uncomfortable, we can choose to avoid that person or that situation.
Felipe Ferreira and his Pride tattoo!
There are various ways of expressing ourselves and conveying our beliefs and ideals to others. The degrees that we select to expose ourselves vary from person to person. Each person has the right to determine their own level of comfort in sharing their nakedness and sexuality with others.
How can love be a basis for hate?
We may not approve the message but we must recognize the variety that others employ to demonstrate themselves. The public displays of affection have many followers all at odds with one another.
Happy Bare Practitioner’s day, 2023!
Naked hugs!

Strip off your costume and splash into another season of aquatic splurging and natural antics!
Summer is here!
A Sun-bathed Nakedness
Walt Whitman
“Never before did I get so close to Nature; never before did she come so close to me…Nature was naked, and I was also…Sweet, sane, still Nakedness in Nature! – ah, if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more! Is not nakedness indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability, that is indecent. There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent.”
Nakedness!
Also on this same date, primarily in Europe, Nude Hiking Day is observed. As this is the longest day of sunlight in the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it affords an excellent opportunity for an all day bare hike throughout the many trails!
Nude Hiking Day!
The best wishes for a safe and very happy Summer, 2023!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The post entry schedule for the remainder of June, 2023, is as follows:
Monday, June 26, 2023: “Why Pride?” Tuesday, June 27, 2023: “HIV Testing Day!” Wednesday, June 28, 2023: “Pride: SIR!” Friday, June 30, 2023: “Bottoms-Up! June, 2023”
Typical to the entire naturist/nudist community and culture: the approach of another summer season in the Northern Hemisphere renews the “great debate” over the labels and terms that we use to describe ourselves. My personal feeling? I don’t think the debate will ever resolve and this disagreement will last until the end of time.
Confusion surrounds what some purists (perfectionists) continuously argue as appropriate/inappropriate (good/poor) terminology.
Naked?
Nude?
Naturist?
Bare?
Body freedom?
Clothes freedom?
Natural?
Sunbathing!
I prefer sunbathing bare.
Beach visitors!
In the summer, we’d rather be natural!
Posing!
I am standing naked in the sunlight!
Skinny-dipping!
I enjoy the water nude!
SYNONYMOUS? INTERCHANGEABLE?
Shading his eyes!
I’d rather wear nothing whatsoever!
Naked hugs!

May is the final full month of the Springtime for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere. This is reason enough for us to engage in a welcome exchange of kisses to those that we love while posing our buttocks for yet another picture together!
Bottoms-up! hitting the surf!
And also time for our brethren residing in the Southern Hemisphere to direct their buttocks surfside for a final floatation as they prepare for the arrival of another season “Down Under!”
XL posing in a designer jock-strap!
Our openly same gender loving model and adult actor, XL, poses his buttocks in a fashionable jock-strap (athletic supporter) so that we can all view his booty-ful buttocks!
Gio: aquatic bottoms-up!
Whether it’s a pool, lake or an ocean, the pleasures of skinny-dipping (swimming naked) afford us all the opportunity to boldly show everyone the spectacular buttocks that we are endowed!
Nap-time in the sunshine!
Relax and let the rest of the world worry about what tomorrow may bring! Being a bottoms-up! enthusiast allows us to bestow our booty-ful buttocks for admiration and desire!
Naked hugs!

The date, 24 April, commemorates the enforced deportation of Armenian intellectuals in 1915 from Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey as the Ottomans initiated the first genocide of the 20th century, of 1,500,000 Armenians during the Great War (World War I). This removal of individuals was followed by their families and soon the massacres and starvation of multitudes of Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Turkey was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary in fighting the Allies.
Tragically, this was the first genocide of the 20th century. Although not as significant as the Nazi one undertaken later in the century, it still represents the magnitude of hatred that unfortunately occurs needlessly among humanity.
Armenia Genocide Memorial: Tsitsernakaberd!
Floral tributes to the Martyrs!
The very first commemoration of the Genocide occurred in 1919 at St. Trinity Armenian Church.

Hopefully, a few laughs to welcome the first official weekend of the Spring, 2023, season! Best wishes to everyone for a very enjoyable, safe and pleasant weekend! Perhaps you can make undressing (removing) clothing into a game, too!
Stripping Game #1
Acquaintances sometimes ask my spouse, Aaron, and I what do you guys do when you’re at home and naked? Well, we do have certain games that we play together.
Stripping Game #2
One is a useful routine where we alternately become comfortable by stripping off our clothing and tossing the discarded garment to one another.
Stripping Game #3
It really is totally in fun and does make baring ourselves enjoyable and relaxing!
Stripping Game #4
A word of caution: removing the belt before tossing your pants is highly recommended!
Stripping Game #5
Of course, on occasions we have engaged in a race as to which one of us can “out-strip” the other!
Stripping Game #6
I’m certain that everyone can imagine a few other enlightened activities to attempt while striving to become completely free of the clothing dilemma!
An ideal finale to any clothes removal!
Get creative and enjoy your own bare competitions! Perhaps we can introduce a new category into the next summer Olympiad!
Naked hugs!

Are there any more cliche`s that I should try and insert here? Above, Dallas has obviously lost his penis. Below, well, it is either a substitution or…?
Dallas Wade is creative, entertaining and funny! He’s also a cautious naturist/nudist. One blink of an eye and his “fashion statement” lies on the floor (or the beach, or the pool, etc.)! This openly gay and irreverent comedian needs no encouragement to bring a smile to our face! Just like he requires no cajoling to strip off his clothes!
Dallas “Flashman” Wade: an extension?
Take care and stay bare, Dallas “Flashman” Wade!
Naked hugs!
