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!
Naked hugs!

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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, October 27, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “October’s Bright Blue Weather!”
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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, October 24, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “The Hauntings!”.
For years, the official name of the October federal (national) holiday was always “Columbus Day” – honouring Christopher Columbus, the Italian navigator/sailor who led the naval expedition to discover a new route to India and the East Indies from Spain. In attempting doing this task, he “discovered” the New World.
The legends surrounding Columbus sailing the Atlantic searching for a more timely/ faster route to the Far East often led people to believe that the new lands were barren and uninhabited – how else could he discover them? Also, as his day was supposedly a “national” holiday in the USA, where in this country did he land? He was an Italian sailing for the King and Queen of Spain. How did he rate a USA holiday?
Even more confusing, why was there no national holiday honouring the peoples who already lived in this newly “discovered” land? In addition, the Norse Vikings had previously established settlements along the coasts of what is now Canada. These settlers predated Columbus by more than a century.
Too much credit was given to Christopher Columbus for tasks not in his original mission. Also, successive Italian immigrants to this New World celebrated Columbus as the “godfather” of the New World. If not for his voyages, there would have been no deluge of immigrants from Europe into these new lands! The entire history of the whole world would be altered.
Indigenous= native!
All the attention and praise on the accomplishments of Columbus and the immigrants who stole the land of all the native peoples residing in this “new world!” No one bothered to offer the disastrous impact of the enormous slave trade or the ravages of imported diseases on the inhabitants of the Caribbean islands and both the northern and southern continents.
Wherever the European immigrants settled, the indigenous populations within that area were subject to the bias of the newcomers and their discrimination against the local natives. After all, they were bringing “civilisation” to this savage land!
Their civilized import prevailed, and this country began to celebrate “Columbus Day” exclusively. It remained that way until the people started to realize that we’re not giving any recognition to the earlier inhabitants here who preserved the lands, the livestock and the environment that thrived until immigration began.
Beginning in the early years of the 21st century, calendars are now listing the traditional “Columbus Day” holiday as “Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day.” Currently, calendars are now printed listing only the Indigenous People’s Day designation. Since Christopher Columbus didn’t actually “discover” a New World, he no longer needs a special honour. As the Italian people didn’t sponsor his voyages to the west, they made no contribution in exploring the new shores.
On this day, it is especially important to remember to honour, salute and pay tribute to the Indigenous Peoples of this site, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! A very special commendation to allbare practitioners!
Happy Indigenous People’s Day to everyone! We’re all indigenous to some region on this planet!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Thursday, October 16, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Spirit Day, 2025!”
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 MemorialQuilt – 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!
Keith Haring creating a mural!
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!
Naked hugs!

The header (opening image above) of this post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers depicts an early camera (antique) being utilized to capture the likeness of the model. It is absolutely not an authentic photograph from the intended era.
The footwear (shoes) on the photographers are not relevant to the time period. Nor are the hairstyles of any of the three men posing for the picture. The hair and shoes reflect the early-to-middle 1950s decade.
The above photo because it represents the title and topic of today’s post here. The photographs published here below are the authentic copies of the originals.
Preamble:
When the camera initially appeared in the middle of the 1800s, public nakedness was either banned, forbidden, outlawed, prohibited and/or all of the previous choices. The existence of any type of affection between persons of the same gender (SGL) was not even considered a possibility outside of the highest legal minds. That act was judged by clergy and legalists alike as immoral and beyond description!
These circumstances were interpreted as degrading, indecent and offensive to all! It was viewed as the “work of the devil” and totally “unChristian!” As though everyone was an active supporter of that belief system!
Yet, despite volumes of judgemental and negative labels, bare posing for the camera, same gender affection and naked photography emerged. It also managed to survive, thrive and remains with us even today!
Bare practitioner, actor Sean Xavier, and his cup of tea!
Perhaps, somewhere, there are some bare practitioners reading this post entry while having their morning warm beverage! Positive proof of the survival of the very fittest – along with their nakedness and their SGL!
Before homosexual:
Even before the misleading and offensive term “homosexual” entered into the common vocabulary, there existed almost no popular identity classification for what is now determined as same gender love (SGL). It was usually referred to as “decadent,” “deviant” and “immoral.” As with nakedness, it was also construed as “the work of the devil” and condemned as bibically forbidden and completely unChristian.
The photography of (taking of pictures), posing of and the possession of pictures even “hinting” (suggesting) affection and/or intimacy between two individuals of the same gender was illegal and often punishable by imprisonment. Regardless of this restriction, early photographs were indeed created and many are visible even today!
Early SGL Photographers and Their Bromantic Subjects!
Wilhelm von Gloeden
Wilhelm von Gloeden (14 September 1856 – 11 February 1931) was born in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, later part of the German Empire. As an early adult he moved to Taormina, Sicily, Italy, due to tuberculosis. He trained initially as a paint artist, during which time he was given a camera as a gift.
He became fascinated with the novel camera. He later mastered photography while in Italy.
Also, while in Sicily, he became the adult lover of many Sicilian youth. He met and took Pancrazio Biciuni (sometimes referred to as Il Moro), a youth of 14 years as his lover and they remained together until he died. Patrons of his photography included Oscar Wilde and Albert Freidrich Krupp (of the German Krupp armaments family). Under Benito Mussolini he was put on trial for harboring pornography (his photographs) but was acquitted by the court in Milan.
Pancrazio Biciuni “Il Moro”
Pancrazio Bicinui (1879 – 1963) as a youthful teenager he became the lover of Wilhelm von Gloeden and remained with him until his death in 1931.
Vincenzio Galdi
Italian photographer (1871 – 1961) of primarily male nudes. His interest in photography began when he became first a model, then lover and then assistant to the German photographer, Wilhelm von Pluschow. He operated his own studio in Rome between 1900 and 1907. It was closed by the police and images seized in 1907.
Sicilian teens photographed by Vincenzio Galdi
On the bottom of the above picture, the shadows of the photographer, Vincenzo Galdi and his camera are visible. All three subjects at times were lovers of the adult photographers and were either bisexual or gay.
Two Sicilian teenagers
A Galdi photo showing two nude teens, Greco-Roman style. On the right is Pasquale Stracuzzi, the first Sicilian lover of Wilhelm von Gloeden. Stracuzzi appears in numerous pictures and was also known as Il Grande Fauno (The Great Fawn).
A Classic!
Bare artist, bare subject!
The above picture was posed for along the coast of Denmark, far away from the island of Sicily! It shows openly gay Danish artist, Ainor Bagnor, painting his equally bare subject who’s reclining on a rock, reading a book. Bagnor was known to be a very enthusiastic supporter of same gender love as well as body and clothes freedom! It is unknown the sexuality of either the subject of Bagnor’s art not the photographer of the image.
Naked hugs!

In the USA, the month of October, annually, is observed as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer + History Month!
Knowing our past enables our understanding of our present and empowers us to prepare for our future!
As a segment of the population that has been banned, blamed, discriminated, maligned, marginalized, punished and segregated, it is vitally important that we are all made aware of the major, notable, significant and vital contributions we have given throughout centuries of oppression and persecution. If we don’t celebrate and commemorate our achievements and advancements, who will?
Introduction:
Mentally, the phrase “gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer+ history month” (GLBTQ+ history month) produces an image that mistakenly projects the beginning of our GLBTQ+ community and culture as 1969. The year of the Stonewall Inn riots (SIR) in New York City, New York, USA.
Actually, historically and honestly, the story of our community and culture extends far back in time. Many persons believe that Adam and Eve were the first two human persons to inhabit the Earth. Obviously, they were a heterosexual couple. The GLBTQ+ story begins shortly thereafter and continues to unfold today.
In reality and in truth, the history of our GLBTQ+ community and culture begins with our global humanity experience, wherever we reside. It progresses along national boundaries once a political entity (nation) was created.

USA GLBTQ+ History Month:
The USA observance of GLBTQ+ History Month began in 1994 by a state of Missouri secondary school (high school) history teacher, Rodney Wilson. His intent was to provide role models for teenage youth, build community identity and to offer a civil rights statement of the achievements and efforts of the same gender loving (SGL) community and culture.
A GLBTQ+ History Month website was created, designed and launched by Equality Forum in 2006. In reference, click the link below:
The above website is designed and maintained by Equality Forum. The site features 31 honoured recipients (one for every day of the month of October) for every year since 2006, arranged chronologically.
Notation:
Equality Forum is a USA national GLBTQ+ civil rights organization with an educational focus. It coordinates GLBTQ+ history month, produces documentary films, sponsors high-impact social initiatives and offers an annual GLBTQ+ civil rights conference. Click the logo below to visit the site.

Today is the last day of the month of September, 2025. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer is officially finished and autumn has arrived! Above, the group is enjoying one last effort to collectively and communally share all their bottoms-up outdoors before the dreary and frigid days return!
A bottoms-up! line-up before winter arrives!
The communal commemoration of visible buttocks is engaged in all over the world and by all peoples residing throughout the globe!
Teasing with his buttocks!
Above, our model wants to assure every one of us that he is providing a barrier-free view of his bottoms-up! contribution!
Bottoms-up! exposure!
In a hurry, lack of time to remove all their clothing, this duo above simple grab their shorts and drop their waistline in order to pose for today’s bottoms-up! post entry! At least they tried to make the deadline!
Bottoms-Up! discipline!
For whatever the reason, our man above has his buttocks slapped as his duly deserved consequence for his most recent infraction!
Summer’s end: skinny-dipping!
Summer of 2025 has officially ended! In honour of this transition period between summer and autumn, our bald friend above celebrates with a skinny-dipping venture before the outdoor temperatures drop too low!

A “Friday Footnote” posting on my solo agenda for the first weekend of Autumn, 2025!
Road Trip:
As frequently noted here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! Aaron, my spouse, is employed as a nursing supervisor at a local hospital. Unfortunately, after a fully engaged work week, he is also substituting as attending both days this immediate weekend.
Following a very busy and dynamic week in the classroom, a “quiet” weekend, at home – alone – is not a welcoming need at this time. Personally, a brief unusual distraction is appealing as an alternative to solitude!
The Friday Footnote!
Aaron’s work involvement was noted at home almost a month previously. All of his fellow supervisors within his department are joining together to cover a co-worker who is coping with a major family emergency situation.
Richmond, my USA residential “home city,” is approximately a 90-minute drive (depending on traffic) from our condominium in Arlington. I’ve made plans with Paul Turner, a Richmond resident, childhood friend, fellow bare practitioner and old neighbourhood crony and we are planning a one-day “reunion” venture together.
On Saturday, 27 September Richmond celebrates its annual GLBTQ+ Pride Festival. Paul and I plan to attend the event, explore the scene and then either share a meal at either a food booth at the festival or at a local restaurant. It has been several years since I have attended a Richmond Pride extravaganza!
Weather predictions for this weekend in Richmond aren’t that promising. Rain is forecast – why this particular weekend? Paul and I have agreed to meet no matter the precipitation possibility. We can always enjoy a long luncheon in a restaurant!
Regrettably, municipal laws banning nakedness will prohibit us from exploring the Pride event naturally! Perhaps next year? We can always hope!
Have a happy and safe autumn weekend!
Naked hugs!
