August Antics!

Bare practitioner adult actor, Sean Xavier, dances his way through August!

Introduction:

The month of August may be more than halfway through but keep in mind that we still have almost four full weeks of summer remaining. As many of our acquaintances and friends perhaps are drifting off, we discover that we have time free but no one to spend the freedom with us! Not to worry – this season offers an array of activities to engage in, not only as a group but alone, too!

Footnote: Our “header” dancer (above) is Sean Xavier (birth name: Kyle Overton). He’s a bare practitioner performer in SGL pornographic films as well as talented with rhythm. His profile facial is inserted in black and white below.

Sean Xavier (Birthname: Kyle Overton)

Opening:

August is the last full month of the Summer of 2025! It is also the nuptial anniversary month of my spouse, Aaron, and myself! The entire month is absolutely worth dancing through! And as a bonus, for this dance, no formal attire is required! Feel free to join the dance floor with Sean Xavier and demonstrate your own type of rhythm!

Prepare yourself!

In order to participate with Sean, all that’s necessary is to strip off your briefs and simply be your natural self! After all, our month of August Antics is almost over! Do it now and avoid the last-minute rush to express your true self!

Bare feet complete the bare practitioner!

Hurry now! It’s impolite to keep Sean waiting too long! You don’t want to miss your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfill your fantasy! Or to create a new one!

August Antics casualty: exhausted photographer!

Unfortunately, this time of the year often affords an overwhelming amount of work for one of our “necessary” professionals: our bare practitioner photographers. The anxiety of the antics takes its toll on these often underappreciated individuals. Frequently, they collapse from exhaustion and have difficulty recuperating. At this time, my spouse, Aaron, and I both offer our sincere gratitude for their efforts in trying to respond to our every need! Keep up the amazing work!

Teddy Soares uses his “top hat” as an accessory for his antic!

There is no shame when August Antics becomes the norm! All of us understand the deceit that modesty instills inside our minds and souls!

Grin and join in all the fun!

Teddy Soares encourages all of us to acknowledge the absurdity of the disguises some of us assume “preserves” our dignity by making us all appear foolish when we employ this sad tactic! Remember the adage: Laugh and the world laughs with you! Cry and we cry alone! Teddy and his ridicule of imitating modesty proves the validity of these words of wisdom!

An August “treat!”

Before the too few remaining days of August, 2025, completely escape us, either dance with Sean Xavier or prepare for yourself an August treat and indulge! Make every remaining moment count to last you throughout the cold days of the upcoming winter season. Memories can and do provide us a serious consolation!

Naked hugs!

Summer Read, 2025!

Engrossed in a book: poolside!

One of my summer pleasures is skinny-dipping (swimming naked). One of my favorite pastimes while enjoying the aquatic environment is reading. Using the spare moments to enjoy the books that often I failed to read while my university is in full session throughout the year. Strictly pleasure reading (fiction) for my excursions to outdoor bodies of water (natural or a pool). The subjects aren’t as intense or serious as professional reading or for research!

My surprise discovery!

David Baldacci is one among my favourite contemporary authors and I was very shocked to discover that he had a novel published earlier this summer that I knew nothing about. Several local booksellers that I subscribe to always alert me whenever my designated authors have a release to enable me to order. I had received no information on Baldacci’s newest, Strangers in Time!

It was never featured in my local bookseller (part of a national franchise) that has always promoted this particular author. When I stopped one of the management team as Aaron, my spouse, and I were in the location, they researched the title and were equally unaware of the publishing.

I was very fortunate and lucky to have discovered a copy of this book. Published in April 2025, Baldacci’s latest novel takes place in London, UK, in 1944 during the final days of the Blitz (German bombing). It is the documentation of the friendship that grows between 14-year-old Charlie Matters, orphaned by the bombings of the city and the ravages of World War II, and Molly Wakefield, a 15-year-old evacuee from London in 1939 who is returning to the unrecognizable city from which she fled.

They encounter Ignatius Oliver, a widowed bookseller attempting to heal from his recent loss of his wife. The three join together in friendship, dependence, and support in a dangerous and perilous time. Disaster and doom strike, yet they somehow manage to survive until the peace approaches, when fatality falls upon them.

A World War II historical fiction novel unlike any written by the author previously and presents a very impressionable and memorable story that is captivating, entertaining and refreshing as to the rewards of life.

When I first began university, my major area of study was history. David Baldacci’s Stranger in Time closely aligns fiction, history and suspense into a true work of an inspired mind!

Naked hugs!

August Play-Day, 2025!

Park entrance to “The Trails!”

Prologue:

August is here! The last full month of the summer of 2025! Honestly, it feels like it was only yesterday that I was busy making notes for postings of the rapidly approaching Pride Month (June, 2025)! In reality, not only are we beyond Pride Month, 2025; July has fallen past, too! Why do summers disappear so fast?

Play-Month:

Instead of referring to an “August Play-Day,” I should rename this post entry “August Play-Month!” As far back as I am able to remember, the month of August seemed synonymous as an entirely “fun” month, a totally “play-month” despite it also being the very final full month of summer. A season that has remained my favourite of the entire year. Those “jolly and joyous” days of summer!

A Trail to Hike:

The group of bare buttocks featured in the heading image (above) are in line to proceed on a hike along The Trail through a shaded and cool local public park. At this time, before beginning the hike, I should mention that this particular trail is special as it is completely “pesky insect free!” All mosquitoes, spiders and other bothersome insects (such as fleas, lyme, etc.) were evicted from this park site years ago!

Not a surprise, our trusted bare practitioner hike coordinator is none other than ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! very own unofficial “official” celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington (born: Tre` Leron Fenderson)! He has both the ability and the devotion to nakedness to orchestrate all of us “out” of our clothes whenever and wherever he so desires! One of the many reasons Phoenix has a leadership role of all of us is because the “leads by example” (clothes free)!

Footnote #1: As our hike coordinator, Phoenix determined this photograph to be the first one depicted. “In line” (one behind the other) he wanted everyone to have a full preview of exactly “who could see what” while hiking!

Now, I realize that yesterday was Bottoms-Up! July, 2025! publishing day, so if any of you failed to recognize our spokes-model’s buttocks above, he’s the third set of buttocks from the right!

Footnote #2: More on Phoenix’s buttocks is offered below!

Return from Play-Day hike! Phoenix is 4th from right!

Our August Play-Day, 2025! hiking crew returned to the park trail entrance once the entire course was accomplished. No one looked exhausted or overly fatigued in any manner. Our excursion event for our August Play-Day, 2025! celebration was indeed an overwhelming success for all and also 100% body and clothes free!

The halfway cul-de-sac along The Trail!

We made it to the halfway point with everyone accounted for and intact. Our bare practitioner celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, once again proved himself worthy of all of our trust in his leadership and true to his oft quoted philosophy:

“I love to be outside and naked with others!”

In the cul-de-sac photo (above) Phoenix is facing the photographer, second from the left! Halfway finished and still ahead!

Phoenix and His Buttock’s Poses!

The above .gif image depicts Phoenix modelling his buttocks while kneeling on a picnic table in the park. In an effort to avoid any additional confusion or mistake regarding Phoenix’s buttocks. This one shows him “in action” offering himself as a special “treat” to everyone surrounding the table! Excellent job, Phoenix Fellington!

Phoenix: same park, same picnic table!

Aaron, my spouse, located another “still” picture of Phoenix in now familiar neighbourhood! Obviously, he’s thrilled with the photo-shoot! Thanks for the picture, Aaron!

Naked hugs!

Nude Recreation Week #2!

Anyone care to pose, bare?

Recreation means a countless number of activities, concepts, and ideas to an equally unlimited number of people. We all have our own set of favorite activities to engage our leisure (free, unstructured) time. Rarely are our lists of choices identical, and once undertaken, the number of favored pastimes usually expands. Invariably, a majority of us somehow “forget” how much we enjoyed cleaning closets of clutter or painting our bodies!

The title of this particular week within our bare practitioner community and culture absolutely does not restrict our experiencing leisure/recreation solely to this one week annually. Hopefully and ideally, all of us are able to participate in, at least, one fun and relaxing activity on a daily basis!

Alternate Title:

ARO: Assorted Recreation Opportunities!

A time for all of us to take a chance to enjoy one aspect we all share as bare practitioners, the removal of all of our clothing! As we savor in our nakedness, let us all preview here the pleasures we adore while recreating our body and clothes freedom!

7 – 13 July, 2025!

Some of us prefer the solitude of being nude!

Naked in the sand!

A solo beach excursion!

Reading selections!

An ample supply of books!

A special “treat!”

Ice cream and other choice desserts!

A road trip!

Driving to a preferred location!

A flight on a nakation!

A nakation is naked + vacation!

Others of us prefer the community of our solidarity of our unity through social nudity!

Gaming together!

Our competitive nature!

A dancing engagement!

Drifting in movement!

Encouraging him to get bare, too!

Many of us enjoy the camaraderie of ourselves and others!

Playing games naked!

Engaging in games with our friends offers both fun and relief!

Hiking nude along a park trail!

As bare practitioners, we often use the opportunities presented to us through social nudity to build a bond that lasts beyond the need for clothes!

Equal opportunity for all!

Our relaxation and satisfaction that we attain through experiencing and enjoying social nakedness and leisure recreation events is not restricted to simply one short week during the month of July. We should all strive to participate as often as possible!

Naked hugs!

Skinny-dipping (swimming naked)!

2025 Date: Saturday, 12 July

Nude Recreation Week #1!

Racing into the ocean to skinny-dip!

Introduction:

The purpose of this post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is to provide the history leading into the celebration of National Nude Recreation Week.

This week-long festival of body and clothes freedom recreational (leisure) activities is jointly co-sponsored annually by the American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) and The Naturist Society (TNS). As summer is the “season-in-the-sun,” it is only logical (natural) that two major naturist/nudist advisory organizations proclaim and promote an event in honour of clean, healthy bare (nude) living. The recent tendency over the last several years is to observe this occasion the week following the 4 July holiday.

Celebrate the occasion naked!

National Nude Recreation Week involves an emphasis on the numerous activities, leisure services, and pastimes, both active and passive, that people may engage in or undertake while clothes free. In essence, almost 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. We do that quite frequently!

The race to the beach!

The history of National Nude Recreation Week is recent with the earliest documented date of 7 August, 1976, as being Nude Beach Day. It was first observed at Truro Beach in southern California and at the Head of the Meadow Beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The Nude Beach Day was continued at the same locations and by the end of the 1970s decade, it soon expanded into the National Nude Weekend in order to expand the time of the clothes free event. As many traditional naturist/nudist camps, resorts and other facilities weren’t located with access to a clothing optional beach it soon became apparent that another name change and another expansion of the theme was necessary.

A memorable Nude Recreation Week!

Many existing clothes free businesses, facilities and properties were first-hand witnesses to the rapidly growing numbers of people now taking advantage of the weekend event. They sought to grow their own markets by affiliating with the already established destinations. This new interest helped the popularity of the event to grow even more and added additional incentives for development and growth.

In the early 1980s, the weekend then evolved into the current event known as National Nude Recreation Week. This extended time period encouraged even more people to explore social nudity and to try new opportunities.

Expand horizons!

Author’s Advisory:

Rest assured that even without an “officially” declared National Nude Recreation Week, the ever-resourceful bare practitioner community and culture would need no excuse to strip out of clothes and stroll about in proud nakedness. After all, our nudity is firmly implanted in our DNA! Besides, none of us would ever want to change!

Strolling together!

Naked hugs!

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!

Bottoms-Up! June, 2025!

A park bench full of bottoms-up!

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!

A serious yet solemn stare as he provides a full viewing of his very personal contribution in commemoration of this Bottoms-Up! June, 2025!

Their bare practitioner relationship is apparent and obvious to all as is their bottoms-up! appreciation and comfort! Free from any evidence of embarrassment, guilt or shame! Proud to be what and who they are all year long!

Confident Selfies!

Selfie motivated!

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!

My spouse, Aaron, offers the thought below:

“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 ~

Friday Footnote: Can You?

Footnote!

Preliminary:

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?

Naked hugs!

Swinging: Bat and Buttocks!

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!

Naked hugs!
