Seriously: Stand Tall! Plan To Vote!

Anticipating the November election day!

My spouse Aaron and I appeal to all for us to come together and to stand tall and united for everyone in order to return decency, equality, fairness, honesty, integrity, legitimacy and genuine concern to the corrupt, degraded, dishonest and deceitful USA government. Midterm elections to the Congress are scheduled for this upcoming November.

Please start planning now to cast your vote in November. The time is needed to enact change and return compassion and dignity to the USA.

Let us all work together to rid ourselves of all the bigots, criminals, and felons from government! We need to restore hope in the hearts, minds and souls of us all!

Together we need to make a difference!

Thank you!

Stand tall and proud!

Before we dissolve ourselves and unravel completely, we need to pause for a moment and look where we are now. A nation, a people: divided and adrift. There is no longer a national example to inspire, to motivate and to persevere in guiding us all to resolve and to share.

The healing and the recovery need to happen and action needs to be soon! In exercising our duty to vote, we can try to make it start in November!

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrities # 6: Identity!

Felipe Ferreira and his “Pride” tattoo!

Alternate Title:

Identity/Perception!

The purpose of our “Bare Celebrities” series!

Background/Introduction:

We, as humans, (and I use that term very generally in these chaotic times) self-identify ourselves in a variety of manners/ways. One of the many reasons for this practice is to remind both others and ourselves as to what we are about – the essence as to what and who we truly are)! What is important to us? Why? Basically, is this me?

As bare practitioners (same gender loving – SGL – nakedness enthusiasts) there are numerous options available for the expression and revelation of ourselves. Among these are the ones we prefer that incorporate our clothes freedom opportunities (nakedness) such as body painting and/or tattooing. Body painting is washable, tattooing is more permanent or eternal.

Tattoo!

Tattoo #1: Pride

Our post entry header (above top) is Brazilian model/gay adult film industry actor/ and DJ Felipe Ferreira discretely posing with his throat tattoo: pride announcing his confidence in being both SGL (gay) and nude! The .gif image (directly above) is Felipe (now matured somewhat) specifically showing muscular development and the upper boundary of his pubic hairline.

Below, he models his commando (underwear freedom) preference in a selfie that publicly proves he indeed has a penis!

Felipe and groomed (shaved) pubic hair!

Footnote # 1: As Felipe has grown in his professional exposure, so has his comfort on revealing his genitalia!

Below, with fellow gay adult film industry actor, Rhyheim Shabazz, he is openly sharing both his nakedness and his sexuality!

Felipe (left) and Rhyheim (right)!

Footnote #2: Partnered with Felipe, our man Rhyheim never had his preference for nakedness nor his sexuality ever doubted or questioned. However, he was almost always never discrete over either trait!

Felipe and Rhyheim share a bed together!

Tattoo #2: Unashamed

Reign: Unashamed!

A former U.S. Navy volunteer and a recent newcomer to the SGL adult film industry, Reign proudly proclaims his bromantic (exclusive male sexual preference) and his nakedness by having the label unashamed tattooed just above his pubic hairline! His confidence in himself is readily available for all to understand whether he is posing nude or shirtless wearing a swim suit (below)!

Unashamed still visible!

Often criticized for his ornately tattooed chest and torso, Reign has no regrets nor suffers shame revealing his true self and his availability and his masculinity! He also proudly maintains his natural body hair (armpit and pubic).

Reign: sailor with underarm fur!

Reign served in the navy when then-President Obama officially ended the ban on SGL persons openly serving in the U.S. military.

Under contract with Raging Stallion Studios since 2020, Reign made no secret of his desire, preference and his willingness to perform in beta positions (bottom) roles on screen. He has trouble understanding why professional actors have issues with appearing in the “receiving” roles when filming scenes.

“I really enjoy being a bottom-man and I enjoy being versatile. To be truthful, I really enjoy sex and am happy have that as my job! Giving (alpha) or receiving (beta), it makes no difference to me!” ~ Reign ~ Raging Stallion Studios interview 2022

Reign: full exposure!

In the above image, Reign unveils his true confidence and pride! He is both appreciative and grateful for his penis and has no plans to adorn it with any ink (tattoo)! At least, not in the immediate future!

Tattoo #3: Bad Ass

The above tattoo probably needs no further explanation as to exactly what the owner is meaning. Looking closely, the anatomical region of the tattoo is obvious. But that does pose a question: Is the owner seeking a “bad ass” or is the tattoo a means of the owner proclaiming himself a “bad ass?”

Tattoo #4: Lust/Love

Ron Derrick Johnson and his tattoos!

Announcing to all his dedication to his personal as well as professional quest for both his same gender loving (SGL) and his clothes freedom status, openly bisexual Ron Derrick Johnson of the SGL adult film industry boldly has two tattoos inked on the front of his body: lust and eros (Greek: love). For Ron, “lust” is his search for both affection and attention. “Eros” is the name of the ancient Greek god of love and sexual desire.

Ron Derrick Johnson: nakedness!

Ron Derrick Johnson is indeed fortunate that his appearance, physique, and his tattoos compliment his message! No confusion or miscommunication concerns here! A man of international pleasure and repute, he has “eros” (love) written in Greek on his abdomen!

Tattoo #5: Faith

Kory Mitchell: frontal tattoos!

SGL film industry star, Kory Mitchell, also known early in his career as Kory Kong, is widely recognized as an advocate within the industry for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention and for his strong Christian faith. He has a cross inked on his front torso (just below his left nipple) to remind his fans of his faith.

Kory Mitchell: neck and shoulder tattoos!

As a reminder to his fans of his strong religious devotion, Kory has “blessed” mounted upon his shoulder. To emphasize his HIV+ status and his commitment to HIV/AIDS education and prevention, he has “hope” inked on his neck with a red awareness ribbon featured as the letter “o.” Excellent educational and inspirational tools!

Body Painting!

Body Painting

Body painting decorates our “natural” canvas – our bare skin! As bare practitioners, this option is one that many of us consider as a normal aspect of our existence within our community and culture! It is also used to visually deliver a message, usually one related to our nakedness!

In the above image, a City of London World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) participant proudly displays his adherence to the WNBR protocol as well as his identity as a bold and confident member of the GLBTQ+ community with his Progress Rainbow flag painted on his chest!

Above, his body painted message is plain and the meaning is obvious. All that needs to be done is comply and both will be content and happy! “Kiss Me! I’m Naked!” His service to bring joy into all the world!

Body painting their political messages across their chests and torsos are how these young men promote their causes they feel worth all their efforts. In their eyes and minds, their nakedness enhances the statements.

“I love you!” the American Sign Language manual signed communication!

The image above not only has the subject’s body painted in the colourful hands featuring that sentiment, but it also has his left hand creating the statement. In American Sign Language (ASL), signs are made using whichever hand the person is most comfortable, left or right.

Body painted wildlife!

Some body painting is both creative, imaginative and original in adorning the anatomy capturing the attention and the eyes of the observer!

Conclusive Summary:

The outline for this post entry here today was to present the bare celebrity role models and their infamous tattoos only. Those alone are sufficient evidence of the self-image of the inked performer, and the vitality of the concepts of SGL and nakedness have in their lives and in their livelihoods (profession).

Aaron, my spouse, conceived and developed the idea of adding the body painting segment. His justification being that the creativity in the art and messaging warranted their inclusion. Also, the colourful body paint offered a contrast to the monotony of the tattoo ink!

And finally, proof that we haven’t totally forgotten the occasion, all the best wishes for a happy and safe “heart day” to each of you! Enjoy the creation of the late gay artist, Keith Haring!

Happy St. Valentine’s Day, 2026!

Naked hugs!

NBHAAD, 2026!

February 7, annually!

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!

Prologue:

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is tomorrow, 7 February. In anticipation of this commemoration, this post entry is published today.

Background:

In the early 1980s, mysterious and unusual health conditions began appearing globally, and by the middle of the 1980s, this new condition was named Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome – AIDS. The transmission (spreading) capability of this rapidly growing condition was identified as the human immunodeficiency virus – HIV. The alarming rate of infections of HIV and the rising fatalities from complications with AIDS soon became a priority focus of the public health services worldwide.

Under the mandate of the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO) soon created an independent agency to address this international health crisis. This situation resulted in the launching of World AIDS Day on 1 December 1988 with the accompanying red ribbon campaign for awareness.

Disproportionate Impact:

At the arrival of the 21st century, African Americans constituted approximately 13% of the population in the USA yet they represented almost 50% of all categories of infection rates in HIV/AIDS related statistics reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The overwhelming statistics of HIV infection rates within the African American population indicated severe obstacles, intentional or unintentional, in relaying information on disease prevention as well as general factual material to the Black communities inside the USA. The distrust between the US public health services and Blacks had only recently been publicized through the Tuskegee experiment. The residual discrimination and racism practices were another barrier reason.

There were now growing public criticism of the health agencies and departments in making HIV/AIDS prevention information available to the infected community. This concern now crossed both political and religious differences and even the presidential office demanded resolution.

In 1999, seriously alarmed over the staggering effects of HIV/AIDS on the Black community, the CDC, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the entire US Public Health Service, representatives of organizations serving African Americans, medical and research professionals, communities of faith and entertainment, musical and sports celebrities met to address concerns and solutions over the rising infection rates of HIV/AIDS. One of the results of these conferences was the decision to observe, annually, 7 February as National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) not just in the Black community but nationwide for all Americans.

The very first NBHAAD was commemorated on 7 February 2000.

HIV/AIDS Basic Facts:

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS.

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a result of HIV infection.

HIV is not transmitted (spread) through everyday casual contact.

Only a physician (doctor) can diagnose AIDS.

NBHAAD Key Components:

Get educated!

Know the facts about prevention and transmission of HIV/AIDS.

Get involved!

Learn about opportunities available within your community for prevention efforts.

Get tested!

Know your status and encourage/empower others to do the same.

Get treated!

Receive proper healthcare and support needed to successfully live with HIV.

The four Key Components are essential criteria for all NBHAAD activities and community outreach efforts. They emphasize the “unity within the community” approach to combatting HIV/AIDS. The Get educated component is the foundation for all NBHAAD presentations and is combined with either another component or offered as the sole resource.

NBHAAD urges the discussion of HIV/AIDS!

Analysis proves that people learn and retain knowledge most effectively from people they perceive as most like (similar) to themselves. This is one of the guiding philosophies for the organizing and the support of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day!

Celebrity Involvement:

Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Los Angeles Lakers, National Basketball Association (NBA)

“Magic” Johnson is a retired professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers team who is often viewed as the greatest point guard of all time. He retired abruptly on 7 November 1991, when he announced publicly that he was HIV+. He played in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game winning the All-Star MVP Award yet completely retired after fellow professional players protested having to play with him and risking themselves for becoming infected.

He was actively featured and involved in the first annual National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day activities and continues to do even today.

Kory Mitchell, Gay Adult Film Actor and HIV Prevention Advocate

Kory Mitchell, a popular and versatile gay adult film industry actor and casting director for Lavendar Studios tested positive for HIV in 1991. He became certified as an HIV/AIDS prevention instructor by the Red Cross and became an advocate in prevention education in gay related film studios.

He retired from filming but remains active in advocating for education and prevention efforts at the major gay film studios. He was active in the National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day planning events and in the observances from the very first through today.

Our Unofficial Official Spokes Model, Phoenix Fellington!

Our very own celebrity, our unofficial (unpaid) spokes model, Phoenix Fellington, has promptly responded to interview questions regarding his engaging in the gay adult film industry.

“Why do I do gay porn? To teach men how to have sex. Responsible and safely!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~

Roger Poladopoulos/ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 9, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Locked Lips!”

Annual Examination! One Look!

Background:

Visually, I captured your attention with either the title of this post entry or with the header (opening picture) posted above. Don’t worry, I have given this posting here on NeNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! much forethought and even have an alternate header identified and am sharing it with you below:

Perhaps it is the use of both header images combined with the title that piqued your curiosity? Truthfully, it doesn’t matter at this point because you’re here and you’re reading, therefore, mission accomplished! On second thought, maybe it is the reality that today is a Friday and you habitually visit here on Mondays and Fridays to explore the current posting.

Excuse the soon upcoming pun (word play)! The naked truth of this post entry is that you’re here, I’m composing and Aaron, my spouse, is selecting pictures to illustrate the message! Plus, another weekend is almost upon us!

Introduction:

The questions (implied and/or real) are endless! Why the annual examination? Is something seriously wrong? Why the flowers under the penis? Did that anatomical organ win an award? What’s happening here? Are Aaron and Roger PUI (publishing under the influence)?

The topic we’re addressing here today is: penis – the primary feature of the male anatomy! Hopefully, nothing is physically wrong. The annual examination was the chosen title because it seems as though this subject matter – penis – needs to be explored/featured every year!

Depending on an individual’s cultural and/or personal affiliation, the penis is an object/organ of either confidence/pride or one of guilt/shame. The reasoning for this discrepancy varies among all of us and is not relevant to the specific purpose of this subject at this time.

As to the floral arrangement and the penis? No! The did not win an award or recognition although there are millions of men among us – bisexual, heterosexual and same gender loving (SGL) exclusives – who honestly believe their penis deserves an award! The giving of flowers to the penis could be an expression of gratitude for a service given or a mission fulfilled. The options for the reason are as countless and as varied as the strands of pubic hair at the base of the penis!

Footnote #1: We can explore that topic in a separate post entry!

For today and this particular posting, our focus is on the penis and the relevance to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! As to the annual need to be repetitive on this matter, I accept my responsibility here. In retrospect, I could and should have been more detailed and thorough in presenting this topic and in the information shared. I apologize for my failure to do so!

Not wasting any valuable time, let us commence our examination of the penis!

The Penis:

By definition, it is “the male organ of copulation in higher vertebrates and usually of urinary excretion in mammals” and/or “any of various copulatory organs in males of lower animals.”

Footnote #2: Second College Edition, The American Heritage Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Basically, the penis is the human male anatomical feature for reproduction (sexual gratification) and for urine elimination. Relief and satisfaction as well as gender identification! So much information contained between two legs!

It is a constructive, essential and functional part of our body. It enables us to be the what and the who we truly are! We should all be accepting and appreciative of our penis! As bare practitioners, we especially admire and desire the penis! It is an anatomical feature of confidence and pride – not one of embarrassment, guilt, humiliation and/or shame!

Depending on our personal body and clothes freedom status, the penis is either concealed or exposed!

We encourage and endorse all of us to both respect and support the human right of each person to determine their own clothing status and their compliance with the law. Each person makes their own choice for themselves. We don’t have to agree with their decision, but we recognize their freedom to determine.

Considerations:

In the attached .gif images, the now retired openly gay adult film industry actor, Francois Sagat, has made his choice, as a bare practitioner, to undertake his fitness routine within the comfort of his nakedness. While doing so, he encounters another man along a stretch of deserted beach who happens to be textile (clothed) – his choice the opposite of Francois.

At this point, Francois – completely nude with no covering available – now has an audience, as does his totally exposed penis: flaccid, free and visible! Another man – totally textile! Sleeveless shirt and shorts, appropriate beach-ware!

In the encounter, neither man reacts to the other. Francois doesn’t even attempt to conceal his penis using his hand and the clothed man just remains seated along the beach, observing Francois yet not reacting to his obvious nakedness.

Neither man visibly interacts with the other. No wave of the hand nor a nod of the head. Not a frown, not even a judgmental stare. Francois Sagat does give a single stretch to his penis while his back is facing his covered audience and that is the extent of interaction between the two men.

Of course, we have no means to know the mental imaginings of bare practitioner Sagat and his “modest” accomplice! As his concealed audience he could possibly be imagining stripping off his clothing and dynamically exploring the beach with the other! Francois could maybe be dreaming the exact same situation. Numerous options are available to ponder – including those that may involve both judgment and/or violence.

Conclusion:

The intent and purpose of this post entry here today is to afford and offer to all a brief introductory examination of the penis and the role it presents to both our bare practitioner community and culture and to the textile community and culture. Part of this introductory examination includes the value that mutual recognition, respect and support offer to all of us, despite our differences in our engagement of nakedness.

The currently retired and openly gay Canadian bare practitioner film star, Race Cooper (birth name: Joseph Ross Anderson – pictured above) actively worked as an actor in the USA gay adult porn industry from 2009 – 2014. Prior to working in front of the camara, he worked “behind-the-scenes” at the film studio producing those films. He offered the following quote on homophobia and racism in the USA gay porn studios in an interview with The Pink News, London, England, U.K. on 10 June 2020.

“Homophobia and racism in the USA is the reasoning for discrimination and prejudice. It is part of the legacy of slavery. In Canada, race is just a difference. You shave your pubic hair, I let mine grow naturally. We’re both gay men, we’re just different in some ways.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020

Pubic hair is relevant to the penis? Yes! But that is not the sole reason for including this quote here. Think of the context and message of this post entry! To paraphrase: We’re both SGL men. We both have a penis. I proclaim mine with my nakedness. You hide yours with your clothes. We’re both gay men, we’re just different in some ways.

I must admit that I am impressed with the company that I am allowed to associate. Francois Sagat, Race Cooper and all of you! I need to hire a public relations specialist!

Friday Footnote: Resolutions!

A reminder before the chaotic, frantic, hectic and wild winter holiday madness descends upon us! Those “new year’s resolutions” that alarmingly and frequently last only into the very early days of the new year? You don’t have to waste effort and time considering them!

Allow yourself some time to compose, eliminate stress, and relax! Relieve the pressure of the holidays and cope with the likelihood of inclement weather. Take a calming deep breath. Plan now to “resolve” when it is conducive and convenient for you and not the hysteria of a new calendar!

Instead of attempting ‘new year’s resolutions,” implement a short prioritized listing of “Spring Resolutions” that begin the first day of Spring, 2026! A calmer time in the year is also compatible with change as well as new lifestyle!

We are all aware that the transition from winter into Spring doesn’t happen overnight. The transformation is gradual – often at a snail’s pace – but the knowledge that it is underway is both exciting and encouraging. Sometimes, that alone provides us with the determination and the energy to accomplish success!

A barren winter environment begins to surrender to the rebirth of the Spring season. Again, another slow process that we welcome annually. Being reborn along with the springtime permits us to progress “hand-in-hand” towards a bright, colourful future of happiness, health and hope. A positive perspective to accompany our “resolve!”

Hopefully, the psychological and visual reminders for betterment and change are enough incentive for us to meet expectations and goals set for our Spring Resolutions! Every success is complete, one step followed by another!

Adjustments in our routine happen on a daily basis, both planned and unplanned. A new year or a seasonal transition is an opportunity and not a requirement. The first day of Spring resolution is offered as a suggestion. It is not obligatory as a bare practitioner!

In summary, let’s be honest and real. Most people begin each and every year “resolved” to exercise, get fit, and lose weight. Generally, this “resolve” is very frustrating and doesn’t last long. Avoid the bad experience and all the ensuing negativity expressed. Spring Resolutions remove us from the “mad rush” at our local fitness center/gym. The massive crowds shrink in numbers and the attention, attitudes and outlook is more patient, positive and relaxed. A better environment offers a better chance for improvement and success!

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrity Role Models, #2!

Why SGL Adult Film Actors Illustrate ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Prologue:

One of the major purposes/reasons that my spouse, Aaron, and I launched this site, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! was to create, designate and offer a safe space (blog) where same gender loving – SGL – persons who enjoy nakedness (clothes freedom) could experience, feel, identify and sincerely be themselves. One obvious tool of sharing a receptive and welcoming atmosphere is to offer a comfortable environment where our nakedness and our sexuality is the common bond that enables us all to relate to “home.”

The “header” image (above) proves that our life philosophy as bare practitioners (bisexual or gay naturists/nudists) is definitely not a recent phenomenon (occurrence). From the hairstyles of the subjects, the vintage picture posted above is from the late 1950s/early 1960s. We were actually around before the Stonewall Inn riots (SIR) took place in 1969!

The obvious message from the header is that we’re SGL and we’re clothes free! Not only “back-in-the-day” when the picture was photographed. The .gif image below reinforces the fact that we’re still the same today!

Introduction:

In an effort to provide a comfortable, familiar and relaxing space for our fellow bare practitioners, Aaron and I believe that we should illustrate and represent us with what and who we truly are: our bodies and ourselves! In order to accomplish this task, we feature depictions of us – SGL nakedness – without any embarrassment, guilt or shame. As stated in the first posting entry of this series, we don’t feature engaging in our physical intimacy, but we do honour our awareness of our same gender anatomy and our same gender attractions.

Our being honest does not demand us being evasive. Only the truth will set us all free!

Purpose:

One concern/issue that is often posed is why publish photos of professional adult actors here? Are we recruiting future “gay porn stars?” Are we “promoting pornography?” Are we endorsing a career?

No! We are not endorsing, promoting nor recruiting for the SGL adult film industry studios nor are we encouraging sexual behaviour. The photographic illustrations accompanying this post entry here show the aspect of truth. As bisexual or gay, the male penis for many of us is an anatomical reality of interest – curiosity and wonder. We accept that fact and then we move on.

Acknowledging what we know and facing that challenge is a valid component of what and who we are is, in our opinion, better than ignoring it and pretending it goes away!

We developed this site in the hope that we all, as bare practitioners, experience a dream where we just simply celebrate in a place that allowed us, as a community and as a culture, to just be ourselves! A haven of happiness, harmony and hope!

Footnote #1: In at least one (1) of the future post entries developed for this Bare Celebrities series here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! there will be another focus offered on the penis. That will be apparent for all when it is published. The reason for the inclusion of these images and the introduction of the penis anatomical topic at this phase of the series publication may necessitate this notation and reminder of this fact here at this time.

Justifications:

Probably one of the major essentials of being a successful and sought after SGL adult film industry “super-star” (extraordinary performer) is confidence and pride being publicly identified and recognized as a bisexual or gay man and extreme acceptance and comfort in nakedness (without clothing) – especially in being the only person fully nude in a studio full of support staff, all of whom are completely dressed!

In order to perform in an SGL adult film career, embarrassment, guilty, excessive modesty and/or shame is not compatible! Essentially, one is awarded a role that requires simply two simple talents: nudity and sex.

The professional actors who excel in this very specific industry, hired as such my executives who crave (desire) the action depicted and who emotionally and financially depend on the financial rewards afforded by this type of employment.

As performers in this industry, their male anatomy (penis) is one of their job assets and responsibilities. Due to it being an absolute necessity for employment, the professional actor has no obsessive or underlying need to be constantly or excessively flamboyant about their possession of this particular attribute nor are they driven to flaunt it endlessly.

Contemplating today’s post entry!

For this reason, professionals are ideal subjects for “photo-shoots” (photography sessions) – posing – where their erection (excited anatomy) is not the featured or focused object/subject. This allows them the ability to take one proverbial step away from their job essential status and become their natural, “playful” and relaxed self all with their preferred nakedness and in an environment accepting of their SGL attraction.

The result of this situation is the plethora of pictures created by professional photographers (paid by the studios) featuring the casual and playful actors in various situations not requiring their erections at full potential! A totally different promotional picture session than the routine!

The engagement of those who are experienced and familiar with the needs and skills of posing as camera subjects offers all viewers with pictures that provide better content and quality. These enhance reality and understanding. They also provide identity and recognition.

The availability of the photos offered is free online and financed by the film industry studios. This access increases the sales of the particular sales of the items offered and this increases the studio’s income (profits)! It benefits everyone involved! Admittedly, Aaron and I both enjoy the ability to view these images although at times it does test patience!

Another, slightly less prominent justification for the use of seasoned performers is that the majority of those are indeed bare practitioners (SGL nakedness) so they instinctively are aware what captures the immediate attention of those of similar identification. They also know what information persons seek and where these interests proceed. So the professionals, in order to both increase their audience base and to reward their loyalty are more than happy to at least respond to any legitimate request.

Bottoms-Up! October, 2025!

A Happy Pumpkin!

In the USA, today is the Halloween, a secular observance that is popularly interpreted as a day to dress – or undress – in a disguise and threaten others through a custom known as “trick or treat.” If neighbours provide you with a treat (candy), you leave them alone (trick freedom)! This date is symbolised by a carved pumpkin. The above grinning pumpkin-face needs no additional description to reveal his place on the human body! Happy Halloween!

The above hiker is comfortable and out for a serious trip down his convenient trail in order to absorb some of the October sunshine! Buenos dias, senor!

The above gentleman is replacing the light as part of his ceiling fan. A very appropriate home improvement project for this bare practitioner to engage in on this bottoms-up! occasion! Nice job, man!

Baseball is a sport favoured outside during the springtime and summertime. Autumn is the season when the playoffs between competing professional teams usually occur. Our man above is already prepared to throw his first pitch for the bottoms-up! championship!

Warming his buttocks in the brilliant autumn sunshine. I hope you remembered to wear your sunscreen, my friend! Otherwise, you’ll be standing for 30days until the next bottoms-up! happens!

The above trio is offering a “buttocks line-up” as their salute to this October bottoms-up! commemoration!

Using his very own mirror reflection to capture his buttocks by way of his tribute to our bottoms-up! gallery! Thanks, man!

The Hauntings!

The Bare Body Painted!

Here in the USA, the approaching time is the season of Halloween! It is the time of the year to celebrate the haunting horrors of the evils that cohabitate among us all. From witches, ghosts, goblins and all sorts of scary mysteries that somehow seem to infiltrate our imaginations. Though not an official holiday, the traditional date of 31 October, annually, is a time for scary spirits to soar once darkness descends upon us and frighten us into nightmares.

The horrific spirit in our heading has his body painted in an effort to conceal his bare practitioner identity and disguise his confident nakedness! His wooden club is his threat to beat his intended victims into submission or defeat – whichever fate he prefers.

However, he cannot disguise his same gender loving (SGL) status as he boldly reveals his maschalagnia (hairy armpit obsession) as he attempts to seduce his victim into compliance with his will!

Footnote #1: This collection of images is a classic that is featured here as an example of the Halloween craze that inspires many!

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

The Disguised!

With the mainstream society so obsessed with the preservation of modesty, many of our nakedness community and culture use this weakness as their means of ridicule of the “norms” of the majority! Imitating the textile (clothed) persons is one way of engaging the absurdity of the societal standards enacted against our community and our culture!

In all seriousness, the true reason for the Disguised mischievous “grin-om-his-chin?” His merriment in obnoxious absurdity of holding the textile fanatics in contempt of their useless theory of their mastery in modesty!

His secondary source of amusement is the reality that his skill is also readily available to anyone in possession of a jock-strap! This option is featured above with the bottoms-up! glorification of the economic triumph of a jock-strap over the expense of a top-hat!

Footnote #2: Using a top-hat to “disguise” (hide) his genitalia, our happy bare practitioner demonstrates for us all, the textile and the “natural” the ridiculous of the custom of covering and being unreal!

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

The Traditional!

The most recognizable symbol of the Halloween festivity is the pumpkin. In these images, the above bare practitioners are out with their “treat” bags soliciting treats from the houses in their neighbourhood. This custom is popular with the youth as they continue from door-to-door telling the homeowners that they are there to play a “trick” on them if they don’t provide them with a “treat!”

The pumpkin (above) is lounging in a group of hay with a shovel in order to frighten anyone approaching his residence by being “buried” in the hay if they try to intimidate him!

Footnote #3: For many persons, bare practitioner or otherwise, the festive Traditions are a favourite because they remind them of their youth!

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

The Commando-Freak!

The Commando costume is one SGL bare practitioner who prefers to conceal himself for Halloween in the commando style (absence of any type of underwear) while wearing pants – especially denim jeans! This scary creature then commits himself to exposure by bravely letting himself “hand loose” while freely absorbing the shocked reactions of his “proper” (clothes wearing) victims! Our Commando-Freak above has body-painted his penis in the rainbow colours of the GLBTQ+ movement!

The more sadistic of these “trickster” individuals occasionally force their prey to physically (manually) confirm their underwear freedom by caressing, exploring and/or fondling their “liberated” anatomy!

Footnote #4: Like it rough? These commando-committed “tough” guys will never allow their victims to forget the night they were made to endure such manual torture!

As honestly depicted in the above .gif image, the heartfelt dignity of the respective title: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is indeed of divine inspiration!

Naked hugs!

NCOD: Closets Are For Clothes!

Clothes Only Inside Closets!

National Coming Out Day: Closets Are For Clothes!

NCOD = National Coming Out Day!

October 11, annually

Tomorrow, 11 October 2025, is National Coming Out Day! The celebration of all of us living our lives without any embarrassment, fear, guilt or shame! Being what and who we really and truly are!

Confident, happy and proud to be ourselves!

Keep in mind: closets are for clothes!

A GLBTQ+ awareness day in support of all persons being honestly and openly themselves! This occasion was first observed on 11 October 1988 and annually every year thereafter. Years after SIR (Stonewall Inn Riots) when the “anonymous” same gender loving community began the movement for equality, a vast majority of “homosexuals” remained invisible and silent as to their sexuality out of fear of being labelled and/or ridiculed by colleagues, family and friends.

They decided to stay comfortable and safe “hiding inside the closet!” They were acknowledging their homosexuality to a very few trusted people. At this particular time, 1988, the focus was accepting one’s sexuality there was no pressure over a person’s nakedness.

The original concept of the very first National Coming Out Day is to make the personal identity a political identity! The emphasis on the basic form of activism as everyone “coming out” (acknowledging) their sexual orientation to all those around them and living life as a confident bisexual, gay or lesbian person.

The fact that homophobia (the fear and hatred of all same gender loving persons and their allies) thrives in an atmosphere of distrust, fear, ignorance and silence encourages separation between “us” and “them.” One people know and/or realize they have loved ones and friends who are bisexual, gay or lesbian, they are less likely and less willing to remain associated with homophobic and/or repressive inclinations. Instead, they usually become more tolerant, more patient and more understanding.

National Coming Out Day was conceived to change that practice. During that time period, the religious right (conservatives) were publicly proclaiming the just retribution of God against the sexual deviants and illicit sinners. Also, the HIV/AIDS epidemic was becoming widespread and persons in the USA were dying in the multiple thousands with no cure.

Unfortunately, the growing severity of the HIV/AIDS transmission and deaths resulting from infection soon overwhelmed the number of voluntary “coming out” persons. Many questioned the necessity of a “coming out” day while the disease rates were soaring.

Why the 11 October Date?

It was the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. The first-ever massive gathering of bisexual, gay, and lesbian persons on the nation’s capitol! More than 100,000 people attended that event!

The date also marked the first public display of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt – in its entirety! The NAMES Project AIDS Quilt was spread on the National Mall between the US Capitol Building and the White House.

National Coming Out Day designed by Keith Haring!

Openly gay artist Keith Haring (born in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, in 1958) designed the above image for the very first National Coming Out Day. According to Keith, “I’m already ‘out’ so there’s room now for someone else!” Haring was an American graffiti artist whose pop art emerged in New York City subculture in the 1980s. A frequent message in his early art was “safe sex.”

Haring was diagnosed as HIV+ in 1987 and with AIDS in the autumn of 1988. During the last years of his life, he used his art to generate activism and awareness about HIV/AIDS. He died of complications from AIDS on 16 February 1990.

Have a very happy National Coming Out Day!
