Nude Recreation Week #2!

Anyone care to pose, bare?

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

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

Alternate Title:

ARO: Assorted Recreation Opportunities!

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

7 – 13 July, 2025!

Some of us prefer the solitude of being nude!

Naked in the sand!

A solo beach excursion!

Reading selections!

An ample supply of books!

A special “treat!”

Ice cream and other choice desserts!

A road trip!

Driving to a preferred location!

A flight on a nakation!

A nakation is naked + vacation!

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

Gaming together!

Our competitive nature!

A dancing engagement!

Drifting in movement!

Encouraging him to get bare, too!

Many of us enjoy the camaraderie of ourselves and others!

Playing games naked!

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

Hiking nude along a park trail!

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

Equal opportunity for all!

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

Naked hugs!

Nude Recreation Week #1!

Racing into the ocean to skinny-dip!

Introduction:

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

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

Celebrate the occasion naked!

National Nude Recreation Week involves an emphasis on the numerous activities, leisure services, and pastimes, both active and passive, that people may engage in or undertake while clothes free. In essence, almost identical to what can be enjoyed when wearing garments. This isn’t to imply this special week is the only time we bare our bodies for fun and games. We do that quite frequently!

The race to the beach!

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

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

A memorable Nude Recreation Week!

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

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

Expand horizons!

Author’s Advisory:

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

Strolling together!

Naked hugs!

Bottoms-Up! June, 2025!

A park bench full of bottoms-up!

It is obvious that our bare practitioner community and culture isn’t the only organization observing June as a month of Pride! This rainbow coloured park bench is indicative that this same distinction is shared by this local recreation and parks agency also! This rainbow park bench serves as a reminder to us all that celebrating Pride is not limited solely to the month of June nor just to the GLBTQ+ population!

Even in a shallow water level, relaxing while enjoying nakedness is still considered the all-time favourite aquatic activity known as skinny-dipping (swimming naked)!

A bottoms-up! hairy pair of buttocks is all that’s necessary to mark the closure of Pride Month, 2025!

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

HIV Testing Day!

National HIV Testing Day is tomorrow, 27 June!

KNOW YOUR STATUS!

National HIV Testing Day was first observed in the USA on27 June, 1995. This is the 30th anniversary of the occasion! It was initially sponsored by the National Association of People With AIDS (NAPWA) which is now defunct. An early corporate sponsor was Walgreen’s Pharmacy, which offered free HIV screening throughout their extensive network of commercial neighbourhood pharmacies, which was very rare at that time. This event is now sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Practically every testing site in the USA offers free testing on this date, 27 June, annually.

A simple kiss!

Basic Facts:

  1. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
  2. AIDS is a result of HIV infection.
  3. HIV is not spread by everyday casual contact.
  4. Only a physician can diagnose AIDS.

HIV/AIDS was initially considered a fatal disease with an average survival rate of less than 5 years. Due to advances in medical and treatment options and physician awareness, it is now known to be a manageable health condition. Following standard health guidelines and practices, the long-term survival rate is unlimited.

Medicines are now available that significantly reduce the risks of transmission of HIV from an infected person to a non-infected sexual partner. For details, ask your health care provider.

“Getting tested for HIV and knowing the results of that test is the first step in reducing our chances of HIV infection.” ~ Red Cross adage

I remember the very first National HIV Testing Day. In 1995, I was well into my volunteer career with the Red Cross HIV/AIDS Prevention Education program. I was a non-compensated instructor trainer (IT) in the Basic Fundamentals HIV/AIDS Prevention Education program and the African-American HIV/AIDS Prevention Education program in addition to the Workplace Prevention Education curriculum.

My responsibility with the three courses that I facilitated was to prepare candidates (students) to instruct persons within their own communities how to effectively prevent themselves against HIV using the Red Cross certified curriculums. The course objectives were a minimum of 28 hours for the Basic Fundamentals program; 36 hours for the African-American program and 40 hours for the Workplace program.

The first National HIV Testing Day! materials, although not in the Red Cross teaching standards format, did contain information that we needed to utilize and present. My dilemma that first year was trying to incorporate the NAPWA guidelines and objectives into our Red Cross procedures. The Red Cross curriculums were the only methodology that produced nationally recognized certifications in HIV/AIDS prevention education.

My challenge was to develop and implement instructional criteria that satisfied Red Cross certification standards and NAPWA objectives. After numerous hours of research and development, upon completion, the Red Cross charged me with the obligation to nationally train colleagues into this updated curriculum. For the Red Cross certified specialists there was no issue. For the NAPWA instructors, my efforts presented barriers, challenges and hurdles that never achieved resolution.

“It’s not who we are, it’s what we do, that puts us at risk for HIV infection.” ~ Red Cross adage

The end result of my very extensive efforts was the Red Cross supporting National HIV Testing Day and presenting essential information to students and the public. There were no offered educational programs specifically for the NAPWA sponsored events.

Confident Selfies!

Selfie motivated!

The arrival of our annual GLBTQ+ Pride Month celebrations encourages many within our community to experiment with the contemporary phenomena of selfie photography and/or posing. This engagement not only satisfies the curiosity and desire to explore the current obsession but to also provide them with a resource as to their appearance “in the eyes” of others.

This process offers them not only self-assurance but self-confidence as well. It affords them the opportunity to analyze their image but also judge themselves without making a public spectacle of their efforts. The privacy of their home environment enables them to comfortably express themselves as they have witnessed celebrities posing.

Creating these selfie pictures gives the self-photographer images to share with close friends to gain their thoughts on his posing. This additional insight often increases the number of poses a person may consider sharing with others and/or saving.

For those selfie creators who are unfamiliar with posing and photographing their nakedness, this presents them an ideal opportunity capture themselves in the bare practitioner mode (environment, setting). While gaining confidence with exposing their nakedness, it affords them the chance to share themselves with others through sharing their images.

This enables familiarity with body and clothes freedom. It no longer is a distant and foreign concept or practice but one that comes closer to comfort and reality – a sense of “normal” and routine. Another step in the journey towards bare practitioner! The process of exploration awakens knowledge and understanding.

This experience affords to some all that is necessary to pursue the lifestyle of an active bare practitioner. For the majority, it offers insight – a glimpse – into the community and culture and what it entails and promotes. This introduction does, hopefully, give birth to a respect and a tolerance towards all persons who are or become bare practitioners!

Advice!

My spouse, Aaron, offers the thought below:

“Same gender loving and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 28 March, 2022

In a more exemplary manner, I offer the following summation for today’s theme here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! for pondering:

“Man designs fashions. Man makes clothes. Man makes mistakes! The measure of a man isn’t based on the clothes that he wears. The true measure of a man is determined by the clothes that he is not wearing! Bare is the perfection of the human body without the mistakes.” ~ Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos ~

Friday Footnote: Can You?

Footnote!

Preliminary:

It is GLBTQ+ Pride Month, 2025! My professional experience and training is in education which includes challenges and creativity in conveying information and ideas using whatever methods available. This enables me to assess my effectiveness in communication. From this point until you receive your naked hugs in conclusion, everyone proceeds at their own comfort level.

Background:

In reality, today is Sunday, 25 May, 2025. I am composing this for publication on Friday, 13 June, 2025, here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! This removes me from having to write an entry for the proverbial “bad luck” (unlucky) day of Friday, the 13th. This also spares each and every one of you from reacting to a post created on that unpopular date!

Can You?

Naked hugs!

Swinging: Bat and Buttocks!

The Opening Footnote:

This post entry here is the originally announced “Batters Up!” publication promoted here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! as the featured posting for Friday, 23 May, 2025. The delay was caused by a last-minute technicality! This entry is an updated version of the intended photo-essay offering.

Bare practitioner: Beaux Banks!

Introduction:

Today’s featured guest/model here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is familiar to many – his screen name is Beaux Banks (birth name: Jermayne Michael Largent) and he hails from Annapolis, Maryland, USA. He began his career as a model for Andrew Christian underwear prior to his becoming a gay porn star and choreographer. Beaux is 5’6″ tall – 168 cm – and weighs 149 lbs. – 68 kg.

He was born on 19 September, 1993, and was raised by an adopted family. He graduated from Annapolis Secondary School followed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Campus. His heritage background is African-American, Caucasian and Pacific Islander.

Both personally and professionally, he is an exclusive beta-man. He openly admits to having only once performing in the alpha-position privately. Despite being very fashion conscious, he confesses to be comfortable whenever he can be bare (clothes free)!

As a sign of his future endeavours, it is no surprise that Beaux became a sensation based on the popularity of his National Coming Out Day (NCOD) series. His buttocks were awarded a strenuous “swinging workout” for that project.

Beaux Banks: bubble-licious buttocks and testicles!

Beaux’s Pride Series:

Beaux Banks “bubbled” with confidence and delight while posing for this photo series created for the NCOD anniversary early in his career. This was just prior to his gay porn industry debut.

Beaux’s Baseball Batter Series:

During his gay film industry performances, he confidently posed as a baseball player and demonstrated that he certainly knew how to swing both a baseball bat and his buttocks. In viewing the accompanying .gif clips from the series, we arrive at an even summation as to which device – anatomical (buttocks) – or athletic (baseball bat) – he is most proficient and skilled in operating.

Ultimate Goal:

Beaux received his undergraduate degree in social services from the University of Maryland. Several years ago, he acknowledged that once he departs the gay porn industry, his long-term dream is to become a counselor advocate for SGL sex workers. A worthy and much needed career goal, Beaux Banks!

Bare*Ability!

Same gender bromance!

Bare Practitioner: same gender loving and embracing nakedness as both community and culture. An enthusiastic advocate of the right to love and of body and clothes freedom.

Body and clothes freedom!

Naked is defined as without clothing on the body. Without addition, concealment, disguise or embellishment. Nude.

Nude is defined as without clothing or naked. The condition of being unclothed.

Introduction:

Mutual body and clothes freedom!

Bare! Body! Clothes free! Naked! Natural! Naturist! Nude! Nudity! Nudist! All of these terms/words refer to the fact that we are uncovered (without clothing)! We are completely visible without even a single thread concealing any part of our natural body. Identical to the state of our birth. Not a single one of us were born wearing anything! Hallelujah!

Yours truly at a local park in Arlington, Virginia, USA!

My name is Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos. As many of you already know, I am the co-author and the creator of this site: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! I am a same gender loving (SGL) man – gay – Deaf and of direct Greek heritage (both of my parents were born in the Kingdom of Greece).

Aaron, my spouse!

This is Aaron M. Peterson-Poladopoulos, my spouse. He is also the co-author and photographer of this site. Obviously, he is also SGL and is of African-Canadian descent. Aaron’s family is of the Yoruba ethnic tribe from the city of Ibadan, located in western Nigeria. Both Canada and Nigeria are Commonwealth entities. We have been legally married since 2015, a year after marriage equality was officially adopted here in the USA, our country of residence.

The both of us are confidently and proudly bare practitioners (SGL and naturist/nudist). We wear clothes when necessary but both of us prefer being without any garment whatsoever! As enthusiastic bare practitioner advocates, we are equally responsible for the theme of today’s post entry here.

Honest and simple advice!

We sincerely encourage all of you here today to join with us in nakedness and pride whenever possible!

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

Bare Practitioners:

Bare practitioners!

As an integral component grouping of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ community and culture, bare practitioners often encounter awkward and discomforting situations not only because of our SGL status, but also due to our textile (clothing) – or our lack thereof. We are neither forcing nor intimidating anyone into our body and clothes freedom world, instead we are celebrating the enablement to just be ourselves: SGL and nakedness!

Progress Pride Flag body painted on himself!

Our man in the above photograph is very confident and proud of his bare practitioner identity. He has our SGL Progress Pride rainbow flag body painted on his nakedness while he’s participating in the London, UK, World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR)! His smile demonstrates his comfort and joy in being honest and open about his body freedom and his sexuality! Both Aaron and I salute his brotherhood, reality and sincerity! Take care and stay bare, our friend!

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

Our Confidence Is Evident:

Bare under the bridge!

Our man in this series of pictures here is not only proud of his sexuality, he’s also assured and bold in sharing publicly his bare practitioner affiliation!

Submerged bare practitioner pride!

He combines his SGL nature and his body and clothes freedom preference and skinny dips (swims naked) without a care in the world!

His rainbow pride colours raised high!

He confidently flaunts both his bare body and his sexuality while posing and promoting his message: “I am my own man without guilt and/or shame!”

Bottoms-up! near the underwater bottom!

A philosophy that many of us who are bare practitioners endorse and proclaim wholeheartedly!

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

Confidence and Pride!

Compatibility!

Being a bare practitioner isn’t an obligation to publicly reveal one’s personal character and identity. Each person determines their own comfort level in presenting themselves to others. The majority of us, bare practitioners or otherwise, are more amenable to others who we perceive as most like us and similar to ourselves. This is a human instinct that most of us believe, feel, nurture and share among ourselves.

Our bare practitioner affinity and appreciation aren’t based on or defined solely by our willingness to allow others to interpret or judge our nakedness and/or our sexuality. Our being what and who we are is determined completely by our private discretion, personal emotional capacity, and self-acceptance. If we need to confide in another, it is our choice, and we need to engage in the dialogue when we are comfortable. Otherwise, we await on our respective decision to proceed.

For everyone!

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

Poetic Justice:

An important message inked on his genital area!

Reign is the stage name of our bare practitioner brother welcoming us here. Just above his pubic hairline, he has “unashamed” tattooed on his skin. His meaning is obviously visible for all. There is no embarrassment, guilt or shame associated with either his nakedness and/or his sexuality!

He prefers nakedness over clothing and has no issue in publicly endorsing both body and clothes freedom and his exclusive same gender loving sexuality. Reign is a very honest and open man who lives his life being himself and “unashamed!”

My Naked Life

by Roger Poladopoulos

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man the man I want to be.

When I am naked, I am nude,

Living life with a positive attitude.

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man I want to be.

When I am nude, I am also proud,

Whether alone or among a crowd.

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man I want to be.

When I am nude, I am living free,

I know that clothes are not for me.

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man I want to be.

When I am nude, I clear my mind,

Gone are the clothes that hide and bind.

I am naked and I am me.

I am the man I want to be.

The End. Composed on 5 July, 2011 at a clothes free beach.

P*R*I*D*E*!

The original Pride flag designed in 1987!

Pride: the sense of achievement, confidence, determination, dignity, pleasure, satisfaction and value. The term “pride” was used primarily to instill acceptance and self-respect within the early same gender loving culture after thousands of years of bias, discrimination, exclusion and worse.

Due to the reactions to police harassment at the Stonewall Inn in New York City, USA, on a hot and humid Friday evening/Saturday morning in June, 1969, the entire month of June is now widely regarded as Pride month around the world. The reference to “pride” specifically implicating the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer + (GLBTQ+) cultural and community identity. In the street vernacular: gay pride. The same gender loving (SGL) population supports the alphabetized identity whereas the remainder of the entire world either hates/loves/supports or otherwise is completely indifferent towards us.

The emergence of June as GLBTQ+ “Pride Month” was the unplanned result of the law enforcement actions during the Stonewall Inn Riots (SIR). One year later, the growing community of sexual minorities organized a march (parade) to commemorate the anniversary. This unofficial and loosely cohesive event constituted what has now become a gala event celebrated worldwide.

Early power protest poster!

We bare practitioners are both SGL and have a preference for body and clothes freedom (naked/nude). We are also a confident component of the GLBTQ+ culture as well as the naturist/nudist culture. However, often, neither of those dominant social groupings embrace our identification and/or membership with them.

We are the proverbial “stepchild” often left outside public acknowledgment and approval. Our sexuality and textile (clothing) status is obviously not conducive to total acceptance within those two cultures. The result being that many times we are on the “fringes” (edge) of inclusion within either one or both of those communities.

The Rainbow Flag representing the early GLBTQ+ community and culture!

As we progress through our daily rituals and routines, our attitudes, beliefs, expectations, failures, gratifications, judgments, knowledge and successes may or may not change, develop. explode, grow, regress and/or stagnate. Based on our life experiences, some of us continue to move forward and some of us remain the same. We evolve in a variety of patterns and circumstances.

What we, collectively and/or individually, once viewed as a challenge we may now see as boring. What we initially felt was inspiration we now feel is lackluster and routine. What was exciting and energetic is now dull and indifferent. The proverbial adage: “familiarity breeds contempt” holds true as we journey through life. There is no guarantee of our reaction being identical for everyone.

Empowerment, enablement, enlightenment, enrichment, and enticement occur under a diversity of conditions, settings, and situations. They are also available when least expected and/or necessary. That’s one of the determining reasons for the existence of our GLBTQ+ Pride Month, 2025! events and occasions. It allows us all the opportunity and option to advance, experience and renew (ReNude) ourselves, our community and our culture!

A bromantic massage!

Focus:

The primary focus here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! during this Pride month, 2025, will be on the spirit and topic of GLBTQ+ community and culture confidence, controversy and pride. Our sense of ourselves – both as a collective group and as an individual – and our identity and standing within our society. We also hope to offer new ideas and perspectives for development and expansion.

We’ll also offer suggestions for addressing controversy and failures. All social movements have challenges and issues that sometimes hinder progress and disappoint people and/or populations. In examining these weaknesses, we hope to offer continuance and encouragement.

The focus of confidence and pride does not guarantee exclusivity. Other subjects are worthy of attention and exploration so postings here during this month will provide both opportunities and options. As always, comments, criticisms and suggestions are encouraged and welcome!

A bromantic moment celebrating themselves!

SGL is one of the essentials of our identification as bare practitioners. The often indifferent general society in which we live frequently only recognizes our love only when it is convenient for their interests. Our inclusion of our attractions and our nakedness as a part of our self-identity affords us with resources often overlooked for previous generations.

Truth: it’s no problem!

Our Progress Flag identity:

GLBTQ+ Progress Pride Flag (right)!

This current version of the original Rainbow Pride Flag was developed by Daniel Quasar in 2018 and adopted by the GLBTQ+ international community and culture the same year. The inspiration for the redesign was to celebrate the distinct diversity of our community and our culture with the inserted arrow to represent the expansion our growth and development and as a visible reminder of our inclusive process of forward progress towards complete equality. Quasar first published his one proposed design on social media on 6 June, 2018, and when he awoke the following morning, he learned that his posting had gone viral. In under 24 hours, it was recognized as the new flag of our global culture!

The arrow design of the addition represents the progress we’ve made thus far and our need to continue in this direction. The black and the brown colours represent persons of colour and the light blue; pink and white colours represent non-binary persons and the transgender peoples.

Of course, Aaron and I, as dedicated bare practitioners, are appreciative of your involvement and strive to always share our fraternal and friendly love!

Happy Pride Month, 2025! and many naked hugs!
