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!

Of course, we all know that there are no public transportation airlines that will permit us to fly clothes free! There may be some private flights that allow clothes freedom, however, the price for that service is not something that my spouse, Aaron, and I are willing to pay. So, we’ll just continue to dream of that possibility!And until that dream becomes real, we have no choice except fly textile!
Actually, our flight back to the USA is scheduled for Thursday, 20 November. I needed a post for Friday, so I published this date instead. I didn’t want to offer more confusion than necessary! Aaron, my spouse, has a training seminar he is offering at his hospital on Sunday and Monday. Afterwards, we depart for a brief visit to his parents in Toronto. They were both very supportive with mother during their stay with our family and we both feel the need to visit them in appreciation!
The weather seriously impacts our travel north into Canada during the winter. Besides, his parents own a home near Tampa, Florida, and they enjoy their winter days there with relief from the frigid cold! Their hesitation in an invitation to come and stay with them while they’re there? They know of our dislike of anything cold and they fear we just may move in with them! LOL!
The publication dates for next week are Tuesday, 25 November for the USA: Thanksgiving! post entry and Sunday, 30 November for the monthly Bottoms-Up! November, 2025! posting. The annual World AIDS Day post entry publishes on World AIDS Day, 1 December.

“Nudity quickly becomes unremarkable when generally practiced. Then, it is seen as ‘normal.'” ~ Colin Black ~ Interview, 2012
Colin Black, 2013 film publicity photo
Colin Black first appeared – actually exploded – on the SGL adult film industry scene in 2012! His career rapidly expanded upon the release of his first DVD film. In his very first published interview, he openly and unintentionally committed a major blunder by publicly denying any desire or interest in performing in the alpha (domineering, penetrative) role. He took a breath and then announced that he loved lying around, totally naked while his partner plunged into his buttocks!
A total shock! Unexpectedly, the news of Colin’s surprise revelation with his initial interview became a global sensation not only within the SGL world but in the mainstream universe, too. Overnight, numerous SGL film adult studios “blacklisted” (banished) him from ever working in their facilities. Yet, the news of his public announcement created an astronomical disappearance of his DVD from availability due to sellout and soaring demand. His appealing and handsome face and shirtless body didn’t hurt, either!
Within several days, the SGL film industry rescinded his ban, and studio executives began begging for his services. In less than a week, Colin jetted from anonymity into international fame. Of course, his diverse heritage – African-American, Korean and Indigenous (Native American) – helped to fuel his popularity!
His “perfect looks” (attractiveness) and the fact he was openly gay continued to gain attention and his notoriety soared! A very bold commencement for a newcomer into the industry!
He acknowledged having very little natural body hair – essentially only armpit and pubic – and he wasted no time pretending to conceal or to remove the masculine hirsuteness he possessed. In another interview, he readily admitted to shaving his armpit and pubic hairs upon his graduation from high school (secondary school). At that time, he promised himself he would never do that again!
He eagerly attributed his interest and pursuit of a film career as being due to his personal pride in being a Black gay man and a practicing naturist/nudist. He believed he could serve as a role model for other Black gay nudists and positively represent his identified community for those who may share similar interests.
The SGL film industry presents “Hookie Awards” (gay academy awards) within the performing community. In 2012, Colin Black was awarded the Best Boyfriend Fantasy award.
His outstanding success was paralleled by heavy substance dependency and severe depression. He abruptly quit the porn film business in 2015 in order to rehabilitate himself and to begin treatment to combat depression. In the autumn of 2015, during his recovery treatment, he was diagnosed with terminal (stage 4) cancer.
“Body shame, like prejudice, is not normal. It is learned from others and benefits no one.” ~ Colin Black ~
Towards the end of his life, Colin remained loyal to both his gay and his nakedness communities. He made personal appeals to groups involved in rehabilitation and encouraged all to remain steadfast to their goal of recovery. He often referenced his own hopeless future as an example to all.
Colin Black died on 22 April 2016 at the young age of 32 years old.
“Aaron and I were both saddened and sobered by the death of Colin Black. Just a couple of years earlier he entered the gay adult films and then, just as sudden, he was no longer available and then he died. Such a loss of someone so young, talented and physically appealing to all. In one of his last interviews, he confessed to desiring a larger penis. Then he boldly and enthusiastically acknowledged his proudest physical achievement as being his buttocks! May he rest in eternal peace!” ~ Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos ~

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, November 21, 2025, and the proposed topic: “Anticipation: Return!”
Allow me to explain the “inspiring” title is not referencing any passionate encounter or a wild orgy with unlimited partner availability. Now, for many, those types of opportunities are indeed inspirational they are, at this time, not related to the content of this post entry here today. The subject for today relates to the themes of compassionate and uplifting. A rejuvenation of our humanity in an often inhuman world.
Perfect Timing:
While anxiously and desperately seeking topics to share while Aaron, my spouse, and I have been summoned home to Greece by my mother, the following two posts were miraculously published within days of each other. “Perfect timing” by the authors of two blogs that I have followed for years.
Both authors are SGL (same gender loving) and are remarkable composers – each in their own exceptional and unique manner. In this instance, the “inspiring” theme is the common thread that links the two otherwise unrelated posts in a shared message: do good!
The links to the particular post entries I am referencing are provided below. I strongly encourage everyone to visit both sites and to read:
If you like what you read, I urge you to explore more and follow the site.
Too often in today’s world, decency, goodness and kindness is degraded and ignored as a weakness. In order to be a success one must be egocentric (self-focused), condemning, judgmental, selfish and uncaring. Nothing else matters anymore.
Yes, it is almost impossible to ignore the world that we live in. For far too long we all did exactly that – ignore the world and those residing therein – and now we must contend with the situation that we helped create. We all share guilt in this matter.
The two blogsite postings represent two steps, separately taken by two different people, to offer a good deed without any personal gain or reward. Two actions undertaken in kindness. A priceless gem in today’s materialistic dungeon of corruption and greed.
A respect of life (canine and/or human) that is a light of hope for all of our world.

Why SGL Adult Film Actors Illustrate ReNudePride: 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 seriespublication 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.
Footnote #2: Bare Celebrities #3! is already in draft format and will be published soon!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, November 10, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Armistice Day/Remembrance Day!”
My father died mid-day (11:48 a.m.) on Saturday, 10 November 2018. All of us considerably miss and mourn him, especially our mother. This year, on the anniversary of his death, our family’s church is conducting a community Memorial Service as a tribute to his life.
Mother has requested Alex (my identical twin) and I to be present along with all our family and the local population. Alex and I depart later this same day for our return to Greece. My university has officially sanctioned my instructional absence. Aaron, my spouse, and his parents leave the later part of the week to join with us.
She has also scheduled some time for my seven (7) brothers and I to decide and determine some familial issues that will have to be addressed and resolved eventually. Her preference is to be an active participant in these matters. My siblings and I agree to honour her wishes.
At this time, I assure everyone that mother’s health is fine, at least physically. Emotionally and mentally, she mourns for our father. I accept, respect and understand her reality.
I have composed and submitted a number of post entries for publication here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! during our absence.
I ask for your patience, tolerance and understanding as Aaron and I respect my mother and offer our tribute to my father’s memory.
Naked hugs!

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!

Helen Hunt Jackson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on 15 October 1830 and died in San Francisco, California, on 12 August 1885. She was a U.S. poet and writer who became an activist for improved treatment of the Indigenous peoples by the USA national government.
Educational poetry:
My identical twin brother, Alex, and I were required to memorize the above poem in our 6th level class (primary) at the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. Our teacher, who was one of our all-time favourites, used poetry to improve our English writing skills as well as our general comprehension of the English language. With our school located in Virginia and this poem reflected landscape and wild natural growths common to Massachusetts.
Unfortunately, there were no American Sign Language (ASL) manual signs for almost all the items, therefore, we had to fingerspell manually virtually the entire poem. Alex loved the poem but resented the fingerspelling aspect. He still remembers his remark that he felt as a child in kindergarten learning the ABC’s because of all the fingerspelling involved. As this was our first poem to memorize, our teacher always inspected every other poetic assignment to make certain fingerspelling didn’t dominate the process again.
An October, riverside!
Enjoy your last week of October’s Bright Blue Weather!

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!

The Use of Pictures of Openly Gay Porn Stars to Illustrate This Blog!
Preliminary:
My initial intent was to incorporate this topic into my recent posting of Bare/Dare Series 2025! here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! Several complaints and/or concerns have been expressed to me over this issue. Upon drafting a post entry this identical topic evolved into the inspiration for the Bare/Dare series. While composing that series, this decision was made to resolve this topic and reverting to the intent of a separate posting.
Prologue:
As the entire month of October in the US is observed as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer + (GLBTQ+) History Month this practice of using gay film stars – and recognition – of publicly acknowledging their status (pornography) – encourages and promotes the “disreputable” nature of their profession.
The subject matter itself is part of our GLBTQ+ story. Thus, it is automatically historical. Hence, it is both an appropriate and worthy topic to be featured during this commemoration of GLBTQ+ History Month, 2025!
The fact remains that it is indeed both a controversial and sensitive topic within our community and our culture. That reality alone justifies it being addressed and considered during this occasion!
It directly involves and reflects upon this site. That relationship merits a place in our history here!
Background:
One of the widely accepted purposes of the publishing of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is to end the bias and prejudice against same gender loving (SGL) nakedness. In order to dispute the myth of excessive nude sexual exploitation, this blog avoids all images of any sexual intimacy. We are not a sexual publication. There is an abundance of material available to satisfy that demand.
Our goal here is to address, exemplify, and promote the bare practitioner lifestyle of communal and social nakedness among the GLBTQ+ community and culture, regardless of any individual’s personal prejudices against the transgender and queer+ persons! (To the trumpster-dumpster: that insertion is directed towards you!).
Gay actor Francois Sagat, stretching!
Reality:
Professional actors, models, athletes, film stars (all types of film) have frequently appeared in front of a camera while clothes free (bare, naked, nude, etc.). They are therefore often labelled: “celebrity.” As a class or group they are identified as celebrities. They are also “notorious” (very well-known and easily identified). This often leads to notoriety (fame).
Thus, a “bare celebrity” = clothes free celebrity = “notorious bare” = notorious clothes free! In simple terms, a professional actor, athlete, model or film star (celebrity) famous (notorious) for being (appearing) bare (naked, nude)! In striving to remain neutral and nonjudgemental, we can insert “GLBTQ+” as an identification as it implies a community of persons and a culture.
Ron Derick Johnson, “Lust” tattoo under his neck and eros (love) tattoo on his abdomen!
My spouse, Aaron, and I both endorse the use of professional bare practitioners to visually illustrate and represent the post entries here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! As active advocates for nakedness, we are often searching frantically for images that enhance our textual intent. As sexual messages are not included in our purpose, we therefore do not publish material of that nature.
The majority of the actors of the SGL adult film industry (pornography) are bare practitioners themselves. They appear without clothing privately and professionally. Many of them are proponents of their right to be themselves free from any sense of guilt or shame. The problems they encounter from the studios that employ them stem from their assertion of being true to their nature and the conflicts with the management decisions that ignore that prerogative.
This series of post entries here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers will deal with our site’s practice of featuring actual adult performers within the same gender loving (bisexual and gay) community.
Naked hugs!
