Whenever possible, offering or presenting more than what is expected or required does occasionally please and surprise the recipient. As this is the final week of the first month of a new year, 2026, now seems to be an appropriate time to put this theory into practice! Therefore, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is offering two different post entries (unrelated) here in one combined post entry. The more we share, the merrier we can all be!
Return To ReNude!
Over the recent winter holidays, while with my spouse, Aaron, and his family in Toronto, Canada, we deliberated and made the decision to resurrect one of the original monthly series initially published here: A Penny For My Thoughts. We had discontinued it after several years for no other reason than the fact that we were scarce on subjects to offer.
We are keeping the title and revising the format. It will now feature a quote with a brief description/explanation of the intent. We plan to remain simple as to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding.
The original posting was on the day before the other monthly series, Bottom’s-Up!, was published. We plan to continue with that same schedule.
The series will return here this upcoming Friday, 30 January 2026!
Naked hugs!

What Did We Miss?
Did we forget something?
The winter holiday visit with my spouse’s family in Toronto, Canada, was both busy and hectic. The time of the year (major holiday and holy day) and the mealtime gatherings made for a very social experience that left little “free-time” than normally available. Also, two of Aaron’s nephews (sons of different sisters) had two different puppies…and they needed their time with “Uncle Roger!”
Of course, I needed “my time” with my energetic and furry canine “nephews!”
Upon return, it seemed like only one afternoon of unplanned freedom before back to work at university and the start of Spring semester, 2026! A new schedule, new students and a new routine kept me in long office hours for all of two weeks. Two new colleagues at the job ensured an even longer than usual work day!
Since returning to the classroom, my mother had a medical emergency that forced to deal with the reality of a fateful return to Greece. Fortunately, it was a minor issue that my oldest brother over-reacted!
I’ve seriously neglected the blogs and sites that I follow! I humbly apologize and plan to use my time this weekend to return to my favourites and hopefully become current.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, January 30, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “A Penny For My Thoughts!”
Here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are publishing a series of post entries dealing with various aspects of bare celebrity role models. When we are composing an entry on the date of an actual birthday of an authentic bare practitioner whom we find impressive on the screen, why let the opportunity pass unnoticed? Such is the situation today for honouring the superlative Sean Xavier!
His career name (stage name) is Sean Xavier. In the extremely unlikely event that you don’t recognize him, we’ll continue with a casual introductory listing of his vital statistics in order for us all to celebrate his birthday (today)!
Sean Xavier Vital Statistics:
Birth Name: Kyle Overton
Birth Date: January 16, 1988
Birthplace: Victorville, California, USA
Height: 6’0″ (183 cm)
Weight: 169lbs. (77 kg)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Penis: Circumcised (cut) 10″ (flaccid/soft)
Body Hair: Armpit, chest, pubic
Sexuality: Exclusively gay
Sexual Position: Versatile
Preferred: Alpha (top)
A youthful Sean Xavier!
A Black man (African-American) in the same gender loving (SGL) adult film trade is nothing new. Sean/Kyle does have a distinguishing advantage over other actors: his prestigious manhood (penis). Even when flaccid (relaxed) it hangs in view for all to admire. His success in the gay adult film industry is in part attributed to his very prominent anatomy! His natural body hair (armpit, chest and pubic) add to his sensual physique!
A couple of personal notations here. My fantasies involving Sean began when I initially encountered the above picture of him proudly posing his nakedness and his very appealing underarm fur. That photo of him inaugurated my desire and fascination with the man! My spouse, Aaron, recalls his fantasy motivation with him beginning with the size and length of his very generous and noticeable penis!
Back then, he was known as Sean XL. Many of us simply assumed the “XL” designation was in reference to his male genitalia. Our man certainly fulfilled the criteria for that determination!
Sean/Kyle offers an exceptional confidence and pride in his nudity. Far too many bisexual and gay men have body shame in being without the latest fashion items concealing them. Our man? Not so! Nothing in the clothing line is best to feature than his very “natural endowment!”
Sean receives a birthday kiss!
Aaron and I, in publishing ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! acknowledge and appreciate the reality that the trait of nakedness is a priority over our same gender loving (SGL) agenda. Both attributes are equal in our lives as bare practitioners, yet the fact that the bisexual or gay components are what attract interest here initially. The SGL feature is enhanced, enriched and expanded by the naturist/nudist curiosity, examination, exploration and understanding.
Sean, our birthday celebrant, also recognizes this truth. People are comprehending the nakedness concept through acceptance of the bisexual or gay determination. Therefore, more emphasis is on body and clothes freedom nature. Our sexual orientation is an important factor yet the primary interest is the nudity.
Sean/Kyle, in his professional capacity – in front of a camera lens – makes no effort to conceal and/or detract from his bare status. If and when possible, he does employ the appearance of any type of garment as a subtle tool of “proclaiming” his being nude!
Sean Xavier on stage!
This initiative strengthens his commercial appeal among his audiences and serves as a prime example for others new to the SGL adult film careers! The bisexual/gay film movie executives finally recognized this ability of Sean’s work. It opened even more doors for professional expansion and resulted in his being viewed as more than just a “porn actor!”
Live on stage!
Sean Xavier did briefly “retire” from the SGL film industry in order to explore several opportunities for alternate work. His retirement lasted less than a year before his major “comeback” (return) was launched! The staged clips (above) were created for one of his theatrical roles.
“Body hair – a little or a lot – is part of being manly. Like our nipples, penis and testicles, it is a part of our anatomy that makes us what and who we are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” `~ Sean Xavier ~ gay adult actor
The above picture of Sean/Kyle was taken early in his career. In a notation he added to an interview at the time, he publicly regretted that he had allowed a studio attendant to shave his chest hair. His honesty with the studio policies demonstrates a trait he has exemplified throughout his film performances.
He is very proud of his underarm fur – and I am, too! For those who are fairly new to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, I openly acknowledge my obsession with this masculine anatomical feature! To be completely truthful, I am always impressed with hirsuteness adorning a man – Sean/Kyle especially!
Serious hirsute pride!
His birthday happens in January but there is absolutely nothing cold about Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton! His fans worldwide agree with me on that observation. Even his serious facial expression is inviting and welcome! He obviously was taught to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you!” An important lesson that someone needs to teach the majority of all of our political leadership!
Now, we can all sit back, devour our slice of birthday cake and watch Sean celebrate being another year older!
Happy Birthday, Sean Xavier/KyleOverton!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, January 19, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Reverend Dr. Martin L. King Day!”
Author’s Note #2: It is Sean/Kyle’s birthday today, so we should be as “giving” as possible to please his day!
Author’s Note #3: After all, we invaded your “special” day! Our gratitude to you, Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton!
The signature referenced in this post entry title for today is not the cursive handwritten application of one’s name. It instead is the process of concluding one feature that is part of the post entry in the format of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! This is the gif. graphic depicting the man engaging in his daily exercise/fitness ritual.
Introduction:
My spouse, Aaron, and I apologize for any confusion generated by the erratic postings here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! There was no intention to deliberately create any question in anyone’s mind as to whether we were abandoning or ignoring the usual Monday and Friday publishing routine. That is simply the fault of the calendar format for this month of January 2026! Too many dates happening outside of our regular sequence!
Of course, some of the blame can be placed on the winter holiday schedule. Again, that is also another calendar issue. In desperation, if there’s an alternate excuse for our irregular post entries here, we’ll gladly assign guilt wherever it can be given!
Hopefully, this month is the only one of 2026 that will cause this confusion. Spontaneity is good but only in small increments. Too much and any type of routine is best cast aside!
This type of situation is our reasoning for offering our Author’s Note signature at the conclusion of the post entries here. It enables us the to alert everyone of the next planned publishing. It also serves to remind us to plan in advance of publication. This is a gentle and subtle encouragement to urge all of us to carefully read the signature!
For those who are unfamiliar with this site’s design, the above .gif graphic appears as the introduction to the Author’s Note section of posts. The bare practitioner jogger out for his nakedness run simply “jumps-for-joy” while following his daily exercise. During the winter holidays, Aaron discovered another .gif graphic that we can also utilize for this that presents us the opportunity to add some variety into our postings. The new one is posted here below.
Aaron’s discovery enables us to offer a “two-in-one” commemoration experience of not only our nakedness but also our ability to skinny-dip (bare aquatics)! More fun for everyone!
In drafting (writing) this entry for today, I encountered another .gif graphic found by Aaron back in 2022. He gave it to me for sharing here as it depicted close to our original signature .gif image. I uploaded it on St. Valentine’s Day of that year and then thoughtlessly forgot that I even had it. Upon the rediscovery, Aaron immediately chastised me for erasing it from my memory! I promptly placed some of the blame for this incident back to him as I wasn’t the only one who suffered a memory lapse!
I think I’ll begin publishing all three (3) signatures at least on a monthly basis as part of concluding the bottom’s-up! series here. The jogging/running penises offer a nice contrast to a month’s worth of buttocks!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note Addendum: On second thought, why bother to wait until the end of the month? I can begin inclusivity by offering all three (3) signatures today!
Author’s Note Addendum #2: Hail! Hail! Nakedness in triplicate racing towards another weekend!

ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! celebrity spokes model, Phoenix Fellington (right) and his partner remove their clothing but their jock straps won’t come off!
Our spokes model, Phoenix, loses his patience with the same gender loving (SGL) foreplay approach and decides to proceed with his nakedness compliance decisively and directly!
Of course, our spokes model qualifies for the additional title: Phoenix: nakedness personified!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, January 9, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Bare Friends TAN Part 2: Photo-Essay!”
It may not be always accepted and fully appreciated as an absolute truth, but the fact is that the common bond of our mutual nakedness – body and clothes freedom – indeed helps create and encourage friendship! Our relationship – Jay and I -is living proof that reality. We have been the epitome of this philosophy since we first met on Saturday, 3 January, 2009!
In the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, this day was the first “nude happy hour” of the new year. It was also the month of then President-Elect Barack Obama’s initial inauguration; the air was full of excitement and a welcome of change and hope following eight long years of repetition and stagnation under the retreating political administration. All of this accompanied by a balmy day with the outside temperatures into the 70s F: almost unknown for the month of January!
Now, my recollection of everything that happened on the actual date and circumstances related to our beginning our friendship could last forever as we observe this annually. For those who are curious about our meeting and then one week later encountering one another – again – and the both of us failing to recognize one another because we were textile (wearing clothes) that second time, check the two links offered here: Bare Friendships Part 1and Bare Friendships Part 2 .
Our initial meeting at the SGL social nakedness gathering, there exists a pictorial reminder/souvenir of one of the topics we discussed that day: penis fascination among gay men! Jay had this image sent to him by a friend and then showed it to me. I was intrigued and asked him to forward it to me and he did! I’ve saved it ever since and for a couple of years, it was our “signature” that we shared with one other over emails and/or texting.
Jay and Roger’s first communication “signature!”
The remarkable aspect of this early .gif image is that it is a reminder of simplyhow “normal” bare practitioner close friendships (BPF) can become! We could very well have been mistaken for “wearing clothes!”
Footnote #1: Later that summer – 2009 – when Jay and I took a day trip to a popular “nudist resort” in southern Virginia, we were limited to a day only stay. Virginia, the capital state of the former Confederacy wasn’t as progressive towards interracial friendships despite the fact that President Obama had won here that previous November!
Our “signature” picture had inspired us to attempt to be playful on that day!
Our having two prominent common denominators in our developing relationship (friendship) – being SGL and nakedness enthusiasts – are clearly potent indications of the myths that frequently happen throughout our shared community and culture. Often the assumption was made that we were “lovers” who just “fell” into friendship after our bromantic “coupling” ended.
Nevermind the fact that we have not ever shared any physical intimacy together! We’ve always remained strictly platonic and have enjoyed numerous times of fun and laughter doing so, especially when free without the heavy burden of garments!
The circumstances and the individuals involved determine the evolution path of every relationship, whether platonic or intensely erotic and passionate. There are those “authority” figures who seek to decree and/or mandate how all interactions should happen; yet, we all know that decision is conveniently, easily and often discarded, dismissed and/or ignored repeatedly time and time again!
Phoenix Fellington and friend!
In summary, no specific by-law or rule governs all friendships/bromantic SGL relationships. Guidelines and/or strong recommendations certainly exist, we all know that, but the ultimate decision rests with the persons affected – regardless of their gender/sexual affiliation and whether or not they are wearing clothes!
Footnote #2: I’m flying off to spend some time with Jay and his partner. Raheem. As 3 January this year also happens on a Saturday this year, time to be with Jay and reminisce and recollect on our friendship (very best friendship) anniversary! Perhaps we’ll have time to recapture our imitation of the elephant (penis twirl) again! Raheem can operate the camera!
Naked hugs!

If you are a cohort, a fellow bare practitioner, if you have to wear clothes for church, family or other reasons, keep this thought, this truth: beneath all of our garments, we are all sharing in our nakedness!
If you are observing western Christmas, have a happy and safe holy day!
If you are observing Holy Christmas, (Armenian and Orthodox Churches), early wishes for a happy and safe holy day!
If your holiday is secular (non-religious) have a happy and safe holiday!
Naked hugs for all of your seasonal celebrations and for all of 2026!
Tinsel time!

My spouse, Aaron, and I depart one week from today for our western Christmas holiday with his family in Toronto! We’ll be there for exactly one week then return home. Due to this winter excursion (and the possibility of weather interference), there will be only one post entry here for next week: Monday, December 22.
All bare and in the air!
And to eliminate any chance of confusion and/or misunderstanding, neither one of us are angelic!
These images are offered here today in the seasonal spirit of the approaching holiday! We are not “winged” but we do have flight reservations!
Naked hugs!

All of us have those moments when we aren’t really certain of our exact location. Our mislocated man above has found a sign that informs him that he is where he is. Unfortunately, the sign fails to let him know where he really is!
Enclosed!
A very broad and built man is managing to squeeze his bulky and muscular frame inside the narrow space of his shower stall. Here’s hoping he has enough room for the soap to drain off his body!
Posed!
Mounted and balanced on a rock at the summit of a natural park. His bottoms-up! to the entire world below!
Staring!
Our man above is climbing into his bed. However, he wants to be assured that you still have his bottoms-up! in your attention!
Bare alone!
A bare practitioner’s comfort and relaxation! No pressures, no stress, no clothes! A fine day in paradise!
Naked hugs!

An artist’s rendition of a typical gay Thanksgiving meal!
USA: Thanksgiving Day
Last Thursday during November, annually!
The Thanksgiving Day holiday is the very first USA observance of an event that supposedly happened here before any dreams of independence even occurred. Allegedly, the Indigenous peoples and the early immigrants shared a meal together thankful for their mutual assistance in producing a plentiful crop to harvest.
Probably every one of the original 13 colonies have a legend that proclaims their colonial heritage as being the actual location of the very first Thanksgiving. Given the history of the early settlers and their distrust of the native population, and vice versa, it remains questionable if there ever was an “original Thanksgiving.”
One fact not in dispute is that the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, be it historical or legendary, always features a turkey as the main course.
A turkey with tanlines!
As to whether or not the turkey honestly has tanlines is questionable. However, I can’t imagine the amount of sunrays absorbed having any impact on the taste of the turkey!
In years past, the day after Thanksgiving always marked the mad rush for gift shopping for the winter holiday season. Now, that seems to occur earlier and earlier each year with no feast to unofficially launch the approaching season. People will do whatever is best for themselves regardless of whenever it happens.
Everyone observing this holiday have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Sunday, November 30, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Bottoms-Up! November, 2025!”
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!
