Bare Celebrity Series #7: Practice = Perfect!

Background:

As a professional educator, today’s post entry here does indeed come with several distinct goals and/or outcomes. The primary one being the dignified, intentional removal (stripping) of all unnecessary and unwanted garments. These despicable and useless items conceal and/or cover our magnificent and majestic nakedness.

As dedicated and devoted bare practitioners, we all require periodic reminders of exactly how to discard (strip) these pathetic items of deceit and public humiliation!

All of us possess our own particular preferred style of removal of these hindering garments. Our secondary purpose is to review the essential basics of this process/procedure in order to ensure compliance with the accepted standards. As a convenient resource, the simple steps to follow are offered in the chart below. Please print and copy in order to review whenever you feel the need.

Follow the steps and remember to clean up all discarded clothing!

The .gif visuals are offered as an additional support resource for your information. The incorporation here is to inspire each and everyone of you to develop your own particular manner and style of stripping (discarding, removing) clothing. Your creativity in managing the various aspects of this assignment will enhance and enrich your achieving satisfaction and success and accomplish your goal of completion!

Montgomery:

Attention! We’ll now join ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! bare celebrity Master of Strippers, Montgomery, as he demonstrates for us “How to Remove Your Cumbersome Clothing!” As always, he proves his expertise in this matter!

Body and clothes freedom complete, Montgomery is now relaxed and satisfied to once again celebrate his return to the world of bare practitioners! He prides himself on his talent is sharing his abilities with those eager and willing to improve their own stripping knowledge!

A busy day complete, numerous garments disposed our Montgomery, Master of Strippers resumes his singular place of honour on his Throne of Nakedness!

No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!

Phoenix:

Our very own official unofficial spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, decides to renew his stripping routine for all to observe and practice! He starts by carefully revealing his “commando” (no underwear) preference.

For our spokes-model, his body and clothes freedom is very serious business!

Awareness of his needs and the needs of others is why he uses direct eye-contact to ensure that others remain “in the know!”

Phoenix adds rhythm to his stripping process to improve attentiveness as well as his personal appeal.

Now he pauses and allows others to show him what they have learned from his example and his skills!

No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!

Francois:

Francois Sagat is now officially retired from his career in performing in the gay adult film industry but still enjoys being in front of a camera lens! Here, he’s just finished a fitness routine at his local gymnasium.

After a long day and a thorough workout, he’s anxious to return to his “natural” state!

He’s very familiar with the advantages a mirror provides as he asses his physical condition after exercising!

The comfort his casual nakedness gives to him enables his advocating the same practice by others who question his resources!

No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!

Internship:

Among the advantages and benefits of operating a curriculum that educates others on the importance of and the proficiency of stripping is the meeting and mentoring of newer young people seeking the skills.

The internship program is casual and permits those interested to model their practice and invite comments on what is observed.

One fact that is amazing about working with the young people is the popularity of the commando style within that age grouping!

The internship prepares candidates for stripping instruction and allows their creativity and diligence to increase their experience and opportunities!

No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!

Each bare practitioner develops their personal routines in stripping off their clothing. What works best for one person potentially could cause confusion for another. Aaron and I encourage everyone to practice in order to determine what works for them while keeping them comfortable and relaxed when removing garments in the company of others.

Naked hugs!

Bare + Black = Queer!

Back in the day, fun for everyone!

A Vintage Photo-Essay of Bare + Black = Queer!

For decades, the myth has persisted that Black people never engaged in nor enjoyed nakedness and same-gender attraction until they were taught by White people. This supposedly didn’t happen until after the Stonewall Inn Riots (SIR) occurred in June 1969. Up until then, an intended derogatory word – queer – was often used to describe us. After SIR, we “stepped-up” and proudly “owned” (acknowledged) the word. Now, we’re queer and we’re still here!

Together!

An historical vintage gallery of being both bare and queer – ourselves – before the SIR even happened!

The hairstyles of those in the pictures featured here are indicative of the period of the late 1940s through the early 1960s. The fact that these photographs survived prove that long before the Stonewall riots, the Black community had knowledge of and persons who preferred same gender love and their nakedness.

These images dispel the mistaken beliefs that African Americans were unaware of bisexual and gay natures among men and the popular myth that they were oblivious towards nudity. Communal nakedness while in the shower were unavoidable but social nudity was a conscious choice and frequently happened.

Long before the SIR brought the struggle for equality and freedom to our communities, we did have times when we enjoyed our sexual freedom and our body and clothes freedom. Our people were not as insulated and as isolated as many would have us to believe.

Relaxing together, bare and no guilt about who they really are! The images published here are vital visual parts of our story! Not only as African Americans, but also as bare practitioners – same gender loving and naturists/nudists!

Happy Black History Month, 2026!

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 23, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Ms. Unknown Discovery!”

Lock Lips!

It is now what is known to many as the “season of the passion!” The week in the month of February of each year that includes the designated day of the kiss: St. Valentine’s Day! Not officially observed as a public holiday in any country, it is a day recognized by multitudes as a day of bromance (same gender romance) and love!

A day for us to celebrate being together and to enjoy the camaraderie of sharing ourselves with one another and without any fear, guilt or shame!

Not only was the same gender affection and bromance deemed offensive and criminal, the fact of physical interaction between two persons of different races was actually illegal in a total of seventeen (17) states and the District of Columbia.

Prior to SIR, it was considered illegal for two individuals of the same gender to show affection for one another in public. Holding hands was grounds for arrest. Kissing was viewed as degrading, immoral and worse!

Fondling and/or any intimacy with a person of the same gender was seen as indecent and obscene in 49 of the 50 states. Illinois was the “progressive” (permissive) state!

In private clubs and private homes, same gender love was a perversion and those engaging in the activity were publicly ridiculed as known perverts!

The sky offers a natural background for a couple showing their passion as the above men are doing. Such a scene would be considered as pornographic until the Stonewall Inn Riots and the explosion of our movement for the determination and freedom of our right to be same gender loving (SGL)!

As we make plans and preparations to celebrate the St. Valentine’s Day this year, we need to recall the efforts of those who came before us and helped to create the way for our freedom to be ourselves!

Naked hugs!

Annual Examination! One Look!

Background:

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

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

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

Introduction:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Penis:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Considerations:

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion:

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

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

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

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

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

Holiday Ornamentation!

It is that time of the year again – an occasion to decorate and shop, then decorate and shop again, then repeat the entire process over and over again until everything is covered in decorations and ornaments and there is nothing left to buy! Please remember that as bare practitioners, no one has any need for any type of garment!

Actually, some commercial establishments have been decorated for the winter holidays since September! I guess the motivation is to make the purchase now and avoid the massive demand as the holidays approach!

Aaron – we’re spouses – and I are not extravagant decorative artists! Honestly, the only holiday adornment we use in our home is the Nativity icon that I hang in our icon corner in our dining room. In fact, neither of our families have any exceptional winter holiday observance aside from church (his family is Roman Catholic, mine is Greek Orthodox) and our dinner experience.

Therefore, any “holiday spirit” that adorns our lives is shared here, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! So please don’t expect any winter boxers or briefs to be featured here! We’re strictly bottoms-up!

In maintaining our current bare celebrity role models theme, we’re offering this holiday greetings message from a now defunct SGL adult film studio. The vintage theme is obvious. Any youthful faces recognized? Look carefully and closely!

At last, the serious decorating commences! The tradition of the tree is now published here for 2025! Let the party begin!

Now concluding with an official holiday sentiment accompanied by wrapped gift boxes! Of course, all the celebrities appearing in these festive images are confidently and proudly sporting their complete nakedness! Remember, it is the “season to be jolly!”

Naked hugs!

Bottoms-Up! November, 2025!

Location?

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!

Anticipation: Our Return!

“Anticipation: preparation selfie-time!”

Author’s Notification:

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.

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrity Role Models, #2!

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

Prologue:

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

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

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

Introduction:

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

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

Purpose:

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

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

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

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

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

Justifications:

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

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

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

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

Contemplating today’s post entry!

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

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

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

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

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

Footnote #2: Bare Celebrities #3! is already in draft format and will be published soon!

Naked hugs!
