Gio Dell: skinny-dipping!

My Naked Life

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man I want to be.

When I am naked, I am nude,

living life with a positive attitude.

When I am nude, I am also proud,

Whether alone or among a crowd.

When I am naked, I am nude,

living life with a positive attitude.

When I am nude, I am living free,

I know that clothes are not for me.

When I am naked, I am nude,

living life with a positive attitude.

When I am nude, I clear my mind,

Gone are the clothes that hide and bind.

When I am naked, I am nude,

living life with a positive attitude.

Swimming naked skyline!

A body and clothes freedom day near the end of the month of July. Because of the warmth of the season, it is also an ideal time of the year for swimming naked – skinny-dipping! Of course, few of us bare practitioners need temperature and weather conditions to determine our aquatic attire (if any)! The majority of us automatically adhere to the “without” option regardless of environmental conditions!

My spouse, Aaron, and I are avid and enthusiastic skinny-dippers no matter what the weather situation may be. Swimming naked involves getting wet, so the rain is no problem as water is already delivering wetness! A little more or a little less makes no difference to us!

Our preference is to skinny-dip, as often as possible together or in the company of other bare practitioner couples. There is one new trend that we’re noticing more often now, a combination of “mixed-couples” (one skinny-dipping and the other clothed). Perhaps the adage is true: opposites attract!

Aaron wonders how they cope with socially nude situations. Is one bare and one fully dressed, or do they seek a compromise, both half-dressed? It potentially poses somewhat of a dilemma, but does anyone keep a scorecard? Now that my curiosity is aroused I admit to wanting to know the results!

At functions and gatherings where clothing is optional, a mixed-couple would not offer any type of conflict or confusion. They would blend with any other variation of the assorted guests. In situations where a strict bare or clothed policy exists, the issue surfaces. Compliance with the rule likely ensures that at least one of the partners will be offended, uncomfortable and probably unwelcome.

A strictly “stay-at-home” couple does not a very happy couple create! Explore options and proceed with caution!

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrity Series #10! Shemar Moore!

The above image of the actor, Shemar Moore, back in the day – actually, 2007 – was among the most viewed at that time. His pictures of his frontal nudity were the prime feature of the recent edition of The National Enquirer, a tabloid publication well established in the “trashy” trends! The television celebrity who was a star of the broadcast series “Criminal Minds” was surreptitiously photographed fully nude at a gay beach in Hawaii.

The then 37-year-old single actor, when questioned about the images, replied, “You mean of me frolicking on the beach? You know, the worst part of that whole thing for me was the frolicking, because to me, it sounds like I was slipping or something like that.”

Shemar Moore, recent picture

Shemar Moore, born 20 April 1970, starred in a daytime network television soap opera, “Young and Restless” in addition to his role as Derek Morgan on “Criminal Minds.” He later went on to star as Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson on another TV show, “S.W.A.T.”

Regarding the pictures of his nakedness, he added, “Look, I had no problems with being naked. What I have a problem with is their making such an issue out of me being gay. I’ll say it right now: I’m not gay. Not even a little bit. I love women.”

“But I have no problems with people who are gay. My godfather was gay; he died of AIDS. I have dear friends that are gay.” Sometimes, those who protest too much feed into the thinking of what they may have a problem is the real problem after all.

Shemar hastened to add: “The article said that I got ‘caught’ being naked at a gay beach in Hawaii. I didn’t get ‘caught!’ I willingly went to Hawaii. I was there with friends and we wanted to go skinny-dipping.” A reminder to all that skinny-dipping is nothing more than swimming naked. He did readily admit that he had wanted to actually skinny-dip since he was a teenager.

Asked to elaborate, Shemar Moore added these thoughts: “Let me just say this: thank god the water was fairly warm. That’s all I’m going to say. It wasn’t my best day. But it wasn’t an awful day.”

Shemar’s interview on his reaction to the National Enquirer article featuring him clothes free continued. “Will I do it again? Probably. I don’t have a problem being naked. I just don’t. In the article they said, ‘Shemar seemingly wrestled another naked guy in the water. Seemingly! Shemar was on this beach, which has a unisex section and a gay section and Shemar was near the gay part. So that makes me ‘nearly gay?”

Shemar’s nudity: publicized!

Versions of Shemar Moore’s nakedness as they were released after the initial news reports. The notations were obviously added in order to sensationalize the publication. A couple of the prominent questions that remain are: This is now the 21st Century. Why the ignorance regarding his anatomy? He’s a male actor. He has not publicly appeared as anything else. Are any of us really surprised that he has a penis and pubic hair? This is standard endowment, not a special creation!

Another outstanding issue is his sexual orientation. Why is that such a big deal? If he were near a gay (same gender loving: SGL) beach, how is that a concern? It was a clothing optional beach. He opted for no clothes. He wasn’t the only person there who was nude. There is no law requiring him to wear clothes all the time.

He may be a celebrity, but he’s also a human being. If he wants to skinny-dip (swim naked) at a nude beach, let him do as he likes. If he wants to be close to the SGL section of the facility, give him his freedom!

Naked hugs!

Nude Recreation Week, 2026!

NUDE RECREATION WEEK 2026

6 – 12 July 2026

“Only one week without clothes? Let’s stay naked the entire month and party-hearty!”

Our celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington!

Our very own, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! official, unofficial spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, proudly poses in his glorious nakedness (above image)!

“I want to waste as little time as possible wearing clothes or trying to hide my body!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~ spokes-model and gay pornography actor

This week-long festival of body and clothes freedom recreational (fun) activities is jointly cosponsored by the American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) and The Naturist Society (TNS). As every summer is the “season of fun in the sun,” it is only logical that major national naturist/nudist advocacy organizations present an event in honour of clean, healthy naked living. The recent tendency over the last several years is to observe this occasion after the USA’s 4 July holiday (USA Day).

Recreation (simple explanation) is any undertaking we engage for enjoyment, fun, improvement, relaxation and/or socialization. Nude Recreation Week involves an emphasis on the numerous activities, leisure services and past-times, both active and passive, that people may engage in or undertake while clothes free. In essence, identical to what can be enjoyed when wearing garments. This isn’t to imply this special week is the only time we bare our bodies for fun and games. As bare practitioners, we all do that quite frequently!

This observance is a fairly recent event with the earliest documented date being 7 August 1976 as Nude Beach Day. It was first held at Truro Beach in southern California and at the Head of the Meadow Beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It continued at these two locations as a single day cause for several years and eventually expanded into National Nude Weekend and added additional beaches to the locations.

As many nudist resorts weren’t located with access to a clothing optional beach, it soon became apparent that a name change and another theme was necessary. This resulted into what we know and celebrate as Nude Recreation Week.

Many clothes free destinations and resorts, looking for expansion of their financial options, now sought affiliation with the Nude Recreation Week observance. This opened the door to growth and popularity as the public no longer were as judgmental against clothes freedom as they once were.

As the public acceptance of clothing optional facilities increased, the commercial and membership restrictions against same gender loving (SGL) people remained deeply within the opinions and policies of the mainstream naturist/nudist societies. Homophobia and exclusionist policies remained in place and the largely growing SGL community of nudists took their cash elsewhere.

This resulted in the emergence of convenient, modern and new facilities that catered to the needs of the SGL community. The older and restrictive facilities soon began to notice a decrease in business and in finances. Initially, they refused to alter their policies and procedures while watching their numbers decrease and customers complain. Gradually, some of the more progressive establishments reversed and welcomed SGL customers and members.

Unfortunately, even to this day, there remains some bias within our body and clothes freedom world. As this is now the 21st century, the days of separation should be deep into the past for all of us.

Reading and writing!

Footnote:

In 2019, the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) designated the second Saturday of July as International Skinny Dip Day. Personal experience for both Aaron, my spouse, and I as well as documented confusion over the meaning of skinny dip offer some hesitation as to the acceptance and annual observance of this event.

We Dip Our Skin!

The above graphic was shared with me by Aaron, my spouse, when we first began publishing ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! in 2017. It depicts a man swimming with his swim briefs/underwear briefs held high above his head – and confidently displaying his hairy armpits! Need I note anything else?

Skinny-dipping:

A once popular colloquial American term referencing simply the act (art) of swimming naked. The only equipment (supply) needed is a source of water and clothes to discord (strip off). The expression (idea) was very popular throughout the rural American south: the former Confederacy. Perhaps the origin of the phrase is the skin (bare body) immersing (dipping) into the water.

Remember: the swimsuit (garment) for men and women didn’t become a fashion choice until the reign of Queen Victoria in the middle 1800s. Prior to that time, practically all recreational (leisure) swimming was always nude, although often segregated by gender.

Skinny-dipping can either be a planned event, such as a fund raiser for a charitable cause, a social gathering, a special occasion, etc. It also may be spontaneous – a spur-of-the-moment decision by a few that rapidly is engaged in by many. Often, it is just done solo – alone – either for comfort or relaxation.

The increasing acceptance of skinny-dipping/swimming naked is due to the rise in public acknowledgement of clothing optional and/or naturist/nudist destinations and resorts in general.

There are a number of new or remodelled facilities that offer facilities with specifically designated areas for textile oriented as well as for natural oriented guests.

In catering to both types of audiences, these facilities are broadening their base of consumer operations as well as expanding their margins of profitability.

There is no established process or standard for skinny-dipping. The procedure is based on each individual or situation specifically.

Primarily it is determined personally by individual according to their own comfort level removing their swimwear.

Clothing optional swimming occurs in all types of water, man-made or natural. For the majority, it is basically based on availability and precisely the level of heat!

In classic American literature, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) popularized swimming naked (skinny-dipping) in his highly successful and notorious classics, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. These two characters inspired American youth to swim without clothing as often as possible – despite the emerging trend of wearing a swimsuit!

There is no mandatory procedure for water entry while skinny-dipping. The approach to swimming naked and the actual entry into the body of water is entirely up to each individual. Everyone follows their own level of comfort. Of course, peer pressure – the urgings of comrades and friends – also serves as a determining factor.

The same conditions apply to the strategy for exiting from the aquatic adventure. There are no established protocols so everyone leaves according to their own comfort and style.

Whatever works best for each skinny-dipper (naked swimmer) is good! The important accomplishment is to be safe and to have fun! A happy skinny-dipper is a repeat skinny-dipper!

Below is an important sentiment to keep in mind while enjoying swimming naked. The experience can be relaxing and rewarding for everyone involved. However, we should all keep in mind that for some people, swimming naked can be a very stressful and/or uncomfortable situation. Support all in their quest to enjoy their summer experiences!

Naked hugs!

Bare-Volution: Bare Celebrity Series #9!

Felipe Ferreira: early nude pose and “Pride” tattoo!

The above photograph is one of the earlier bare published poses of Brazilian-born fashion model, DJ and SGL adult film industry performer (porn star), Felipe Ferreira! My spouse, Aaron, brought this to my attention when he first encountered it back in 2018. This was when Felipe initially began appearing in the USA modelling men’s athleticwear, swimwear and underwear styles.

What caught our immediate attention was the modesty he implied using his right hand all while boldly revealing his “pride” tattoo at the base of his neck! A typical “mixed message” pose that enhanced his growing career here in the USA!

In sportswear: jock-strap!

While focusing primarily on his modeling career – and his sense of wearing what he considers fashion – Felipe carefully “bares-his-buttocks” in twirling in his jock-strap! He also very subtly gives us a quick glimpse of his bare buttocks – an ideal bottoms-up! pose!

Felipe: pride in purple briefs!

He adjusts himself in his briefs and shares his pride in being same gender loving (SGL) or gay without mentioning his personal comfort in his nakedness! Instead, we are able to access photographs of his bare body without actually seeing anything below his waist safe for his buttocks!

Felipe’s comfort in posing as a member of the community and culture of a bare practitioner increases as he began working and posing with the SGL film-great, Rhyheim Shabazz who rapidly aligned with the rising celebrity and carefully encouraged his foray into publicly posing as an openly gay man and his growing affinity with those of us who are confident and proud of our nakedness!

Soon, under Rhyheim’s guidance and patience, Felipe grew in acknowledging and posing bare with subtle hints of his pubic hair and his appearing in a film with Rhyheim as his naked lover.

This film offering proved successful and both men, Rhyheim and Felipe, receiving attention and positive commendations on their cooperative efforts. In the above image, their foreplay reminds all of us that they’re both comfortable being bare together and in front of a camera!

Finally, Felipe Ferreira, comfortable posing with his full frontal nakedness! He took his time, becoming himself and willing to share what and who he really is with not only his loyal fans, but fellow bare practitioners as well as the general public! We can also attribute his accomplishing this task with the patience of his guide, Rhyheim Shabazz!

A very proud, open and amazing bare practitioner, DJ, model and gay adult film star, Brazil’s dynamic export, Felipe Ferreira, gaming away as the man he meant to be!

Naked hugs!

May Day & WNGD*!

MAY DAY!

Spring blooms!

May Day, 1 May, annually!

The traditional May Day occurs on the first day of May. However, many observances of this occasion happen on any day of the month, depending on the host/source. In the Northern Hemisphere, May Day is usually celebrated to remind ourselves that the Spring season has definitely arrived and by this time is blooming. A truly awesome time to be natural in nature and the sunlight!

The origins of the May Day festivities vary from cultural, national, regional and religious sources. Throughout the hemisphere, the progress of the Spring season is visible and physical with the rising outdoor temperatures commemorating the end of the barren environs suffered through the winter and the bright and colourful atmosphere that reminds us all that is finally here!

The Roman Catholic Church fostered the dedication of the month of May in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This tradition has many believing the renewal of faith with the natural rebirth of foliage during the arrival of Springtime!

*WORLD NAKED GARDENING DAY!

Houseplant garden!

*World Naked Gardening Day, Saturday, 2 May 2026!

Observed throughout most of the world the first Saturday during the month of May, annually. This year, the date is 2 May 2026 and is the twenty-second anniversary for the observance!

Sun-Bathed Nakedness

by 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.”

The very first observation of World Naked Gardening Day occurred on Saturday, 10 September 2005. The second followed, again on a Saturday, 9 September 2006. After the second event, it was decided to change the celebration to the month of May, annually, as that was determined to be the ideal time for gardening and growth. Canada and New Zealand have both adopted different dates for their events due to climate diversity.

For additional information, visit the website for the occasion:

world naked gardening day

My spouse, Aaron, and I host a brunch for this activity at our condominium in Arlington, Virginia, USA. We enclose privacy on our balcony by hanging sheets and invite friends over (a small gathering) to bring a potted plant that needs to be replanted due to growth. We then proceed with the repotting outside and socializing inside. Of course, we’re all bare practitioners so our clothing does not hinder our performance of our task-of-the-day!

While we’re performing our gardening duties, Aaron is busy in the kitchen preparing a delicious meal to replenish our energy level! His culinary skills surpass our gardening skills combined!

Our food and fun efforts to preserve our nakedness heritage and nature!

Naked hugs! Happy World Naked Gardening Day!

Bare-Volution: Introduction!

Evolving bare together!

Introduction:

For many of us “experienced” bare practitioners, the evolution from textile (clothed) to our nakedness is as simple as just not wearing any clothing at all! No detailed explanation is necessary, we’re merely clothes free – bare, naked, nude – and that’s it! It doesn’t require an act of parliament to recognize this fact.

Yet there are some among us who need patience, tolerance and understanding in order to evolve from fashionable (clothing) to freedom (nudity). This discrepancy is not by choice. It is simply a matter of personality and uniqueness. It is also the purpose of today’s post entry here for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Hesitant about being seen in nakedness!

The Reality:

The basic, essential and ultimate fact is there exists no determined universal standard agenda/formula/guideline/lesson plan that presents us with a guaranteed solution in resolving the issue of a) personal comfort posing and b) self confidence in our nudity. There are numerous suggestions and countless options but not one absolute perfect equation acceptable for everyone. Our similarities are endless and simultaneously, so are our differences.

Thus, the profusion of options/theories to consider, examine and explore. The choices are unlimited and new proposals appear and older offerings disappear without schedule or warning. This situation sometimes results in confusion especially when the newer ideas directly conflict the older concepts and vice versa.

Selfie pose!

Most persons posing for pictures without clothes or covering generate some consideration or hesitancy. This is natural/ordinary. The wearing of garments is a “learned” (taught) behaviour which is among the most difficult of behaviours to “un-learn.” Even the most experienced bare practitioners concede to a certain nervousness when posing for photos nude. Such is the “variety” of life and our uniqueness as individuals!

The simplest solution is to just pose naked and move forward in life. This is the coping strategy that is applicable to the vast majority. Yet there are some who have lingering anxiety about this problem. Unfortunately, there is no general resolution available.

His briefs on his head!

The Underwear Party:

Aaron, my spouse, has experience coaching (advising, instructing) and coaxing (encouraging) those exploring SGL nakedness in easing into social nudity. One method he endorses is the hosting of an “underwear party” where each participant must wear only one underwear garment. The overwhelming majority employ the customary and very traditional boxers/briefs/thongs scenario.

Underwear Party: the usual audience!

The usual approach conceals/covers the genital region and is worn 99% in the conventional manner. What is not admitted is the fact that about 6 – 8 planners of the activity wear their mandatory single underwear item on their heads – beret style!

His briefs as a hat!

When these planners enter the social gathering as a group, they receive everyone’s attention and laughter! They are immediate social “stars” and soon others are imitating their sense of style. Even those who were anxious and nervous in being completely bare in front of others! They were involved in the atmosphere of frivolity they disregarded or else forgot about their anxiety and joined in the fun! Mission accomplished!

The game of Twister!

The Twister Game:

The simple and popular game “twister” is another favourite activity according to Aaron’s experience in helping others become comfortable with social nudity. The game involves everyone being completely clothes free and then matching the body appendage (hand, foot) with a particular colour. The entanglement of the bare bodies creates the “fun” aspect of the activity.

Each game can accommodate up to four players so a number of games may be needed, depending on the anticipated attendance. The speed of the matching colour and appendage keeps the excitement and fun in focus. Fortunately, this activity can be played both indoors or outside.

Games that encourage participants to compete instead of focusing on their communal (social) nudity are very widely popular with newcomers to the bare practitioner community. The attention is directed into the activity rather than on just everyone being naked together.

More Twister!

As the “newly-nude” – nubies – begin to realize that there are opportunities for being bare that are participant involved instead of everyone just sitting around and staring at a room full of clothes free people. Nakedness is encouraged and endorsed while at the same time it is not the sole reason for the event. There is planned activity/agenda to keep everyone focused and involved.

Juggling!

Having a directed and organised theme enables the anxious and conscientious nubie that the majority of the attention of the bare practitioners will be on the actions of the competitors and participants and not solely on the bodies present. This “distraction” may not remove the concern and inhibitions of everyone but hopefully allow them to relax and begin to get comfortable in socially naked environments.

Aaron believes that any type of activity helps to reduce the nervousness and tensions that those who are newcomers may experience. Available options may include even simpler events such as charades and card games. It doesn’t require expense and extensive planning. Sometimes the familiar and the simple are the best and most enjoyed by all!

Naked hugs!

March Forward! Progress!

Follow me!

March forward! Progress! March, the month that encourages our replenishment of ourselves and our renude (renewed) progress as both an individual, as a community and as a culture! Bare practitioners resolute in our quest for recognition and respect!

March forward! Progress! March, here in the Northern Hemisphere, is our traditional “transitional” month! Important, memorable and necessary as this is the month that marks our transition (change) from the dreadfully depressing and dull days of winter into the joys of spring!

Pace yourselves!

Due to this ecstatic progress, “March forward!” is a proverbial useless command. Some march, some run, some stroll and some saunter and then there are those clueless ones who aimlessly wander along, set in their own pace. What is critical is that we’re all moving together – in both our nakedness and also in the same direction!

March f-o-r-w-a-r-d! Trust me, no one wants to awaken tomorrow morning moving closer to winter than spring. F-o-r-w-a-r-d! Progress!

Keep your eyes open!

During this month of transition, the routine of daylight savings time (DST) occurs annually. The final result unfortunately is not any reward of extra time but simply a “gift” of longer days of sunlight due to time adjustments.

March also delivers the official arrival of the season of springtime every year! This includes our excitement about the fading frigid temperatures outside and the renewed of warmer temperatures in our natural environment! This annual event is honoured in our outdoor world with the return of foliage to our forests and woodlands as springtime blooms and blossoms all around us.

Flexing his muscles!

Here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are encouraged to practice the custom and habit of Spring Resolutions with the arrival of the rejuvenating season instead of the barren and burdensome drudgery of new year’s resolutions!

The arrival of springtime is welcoming to change and conducive to progress. The new year arrival at the onset of the winter season is merely too depressing an atmosphere!

Bare swimmers!

Bonus Reward:

The month of March also brings those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere closer to eager arrival of the summer season and our fanciful practice of skinny dipping (swimming nude) in bodies of water offered in our natural world!

Ancient Greek warriors!

Triple Bonus Rewards!

March additionally offers the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Mother of God)! The day that heralded the uprising against the Turkish Ottoman Empire and led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece by uniting the crown, the church and the state!

Naked hugs!
