Captive!

Captured live!

Believe it or not, we – residing in the Northern Hemisphere – are now entering into our very last (final) full week of the summer of 2026! As dedicated and loyal bare practitioners, Aaron, my spouse, and I are never really ready to surrender our summer, but we are powerless to alter the environment. The end result is that we suffer the extremes just like everyone else!

Like the rest of our neighbours, we face the enforced rigors of being confined to the undue hardship of restrictions of weather and less enjoyable temperatures. This is our period of captivity in a minimally hospitable environment!

Locked into captivity!

Unfortunately, Aaron and I lack the financial resources to blindly follow the earth’s hemispheric migration with the sun. Our option is to live as we must within our budget and enjoy nakedness – inside or outside – whenever we can!

Physical punishment!

Footnote #1: Despite being held against our will, the thought of clothes-free captivity does present a somewhat advantageous option, especially regarding the possibility of having the renowned Sean Xavier (Kyle Overton) as our guardian!

Sean Xavier as our guardian!

As personally appealing as Sean Xavier may be, his reign as our enforcer is fraught with discomfort and frustration! The removal of our freedom without covering must be endured throughout what remains of this year!

Therefore, what time we have during this brief week of summer, we plan to expend as much effort and energy as possible to liven and thrill our days ahead! The future springtime is a long time way!

Skinny dipping (swimming naked)!
Sunbathing together!
Gaming bare, without a care!
Nude adventures and exploration!
Bare at the grille: nude nutrition!
Indulging in a nakedness treat!

So, this week will be short and busy with plenty of fun for all! The time will pass quickly then we’ll have memories to share – with dreams to renew! Those cold winter days while seeming endless and cruel need our dreams and our memories as fuel to explore!

Captured again!

Suddenly, the reality of captivity isn’t as strenuous as it initially appeared. After our indulging in our prospects for the upcoming week, this time period doesn’t seem so confining and bleak! Additionally, there is another consoling thought. Even during the winter, we can always be bare when inside our home!

Our race into summer captivity, 2026!

August Nudescapes!

Nudescape view #1!

Nudescape: nude + landscape

A clothes free view of distance and nakedness!

An ideal way to approach a less-than-ideal time of the month: the ending of the last full month of the 2026 summer season! The serious expression on our subject’s face (above) allows us to surmise that he is of a similar opinion! Many of us are reluctant to witness the end of the season!

Nudescape view #2!

An almost identical facial message from our second nudescape poser reinforces the belief that both are dedicated bare practitioners! Evidently, nudescaping and nakedness are extremely compatible and enjoyed by many! Apparently, we are in a very relaxed and friendly crowd! What other type of audience would frequent a clothing optional beach?

Together!

It is extremely doubtful that we would find many beach clothes wearing persons on these clothing optional shores, especially during this time of year, the final days of the summer season! Why go somewhere that restricts your freedom to be yourself? Our days of outside clothes free are winding away, soon the autumn chill will be upon us. We deserve every moment of natural nakedness that we can have!

Phoenix Fellington, our unofficial official spokes-model!

As our very own Phoenix Fellington demonstrates above, skinny-dipping and/or naked swimming as well as certain clothing optional or mandatory nude beaches aren’t the only locations that promote “nudescaping” (bare landscaping). His public picnic table in a park setting provide us an excellent view of himself and his environment! It is also a very subtle way to invite us all to his very public picnic!

Bromantic nudescape!

Of course, a same gender loving (SGL) couple demonstrate the true nudescape dimension of our bromance and of our nakedness! Fortunately for us, neither our nakedness nor our bromance is restricted to just our summer season. At other times throughout the year, we can move inside until summer, once again, appears in our lives!

Here’s to wishing everyone the best that nakedness has to offer us all!

Naked hugs!

August Play-Day! 2026!

Jock-strap freedom!

Segue:

This is my segue – input – into my spouse, Aaron’s, background for today’s post entry here. This particular weekend in August was an unplanned working situation for him. His modified responsibility is the reason for his absence from our planned bare practitioner reunion with one of my long time (since adolescence) nakedness close friend, Paul Turner, and our skinny-dipping excursion into the James River in Richmond, Virginia.

I kept to my scheduled adventure with Paul. He had forwarded a link to the above image to me which I immediately sent to “excused” absent Aaron. Thus, this explanation (below) for Aaron’s background.

I fully understand that my detailed editing of my husband’s contribution here is accompanied by very serious and severe consequences! I accept, in gratitude and willingly, my anticipated penance for this offensive action! I realize when Aaron returns home from work tonight I will have to “pay-the-price” for my transgression!

As for now, Aaron’s Background below:

Gyrating jockstrap fatigue!

Our man (above) is playing his way towards the middle of the August month by dangling (hanging) his jockstrap from his left hand. He totally and thoroughly gyrated out of his jockstrap (see previous posting)! The end of the summer season is fast approaching and he’s not wasting any time in trying to appear uninterested in demonstrating his confidence as a bare practitioner! He totally gyrated in his jockstrap the entire weekend. He’s so exhausted, all he can do is allow his jockstrap to hang! Be bold! Be proud! Have fun! We need to extend our summer joy throughout this upcoming winter!

It is important for us all to remember that a weekend of gyrating can and does create exhaustion. And that often prevents us from engaging in the fun of August PlayDay! 2026! A missed August Play-Day translates into missed memories!

August always manages to fuel our desires to enjoy as much outdoor freedom as possible. Unfortunately, we all know the season doesn’t last forever! Too soon and the frigid weather will be upon us and “natural in nature” will become a fond memory! Every year we race naked and proud into the water before this moment passes us by!

Our clothes are all off and now we commit to our goal of bare camaraderie! No clothes = less restrictions = more fun for everyone!

The species of mankind has been bare (natural, naked, nude) in water far much longer than the garment known as the swimsuit has been in fashion (existence)! Proof that we, as a species, are closer to destiny without covering our body than by concealing ourselves!

August is the very last full month of the Summer of 2026! Summer changes into the season of autumn towards the end of September! For those of us who reside in the Northern Hemisphere, our advice to all is to bare yourself and jump into the water before the cooling becomes frozen!

Our common goal for this special day every August is good wholesome fun for everyone, no matter our skills, talents and differing abilities. The summer sun is with us for only a short period and we all cherish and treasure each and every moment we have! Have fun! Play well! Enjoy life!

Wave followed wave, the surf continued to roll onto the shore! The day progressed into fun for all! Surf, sand and sun! The “S” relief of August Play-Day! 2026!

In conclusion, a note to our exhausted jockstrap gyrator – the next time, try collapsing on the beach where you can, at the very least, observe the August Play-Day festivities!

Happy August Play-Day! 2026! to all!

A Mid-Summer Dream!

Introduction:

Welcome to Dream Lake! An aquatic destination where harmony prevails! Patience, tolerance and understanding are daily routines adhered to by all inhabitants! Happiness and hope are guaranteed to all with an embrace of tranquility.

Assist and Help are the chief residents of Dream Lake. They are your guides on today’s visit here. Above, Help supports Assist as he floats on his back! Please enjoy your tour!

Assist demonstrates the willingness the people here offer for the good of all. Dream Lakers treat everyone equally, fairly and respectfully. Age makes no difference and old and young alike are courteous. They are attentive to every detail imaginable! Assist greets you and Help affords a secondary shadow for all!

Dream Lake’s friendliness is mirrored by Assist and Help. Often times, both are available in the event that both are needed to combine efforts and provide necessary services for all to share.

The spirit of cooperation is a benefit that Help and Assist afford to all persons. There is no task too great that care and concern are unable to overcome. Working together, they enable success to spread to all!

Careful examination of different solution possibilities allows them time to consider options and resources beyond what is readily available. Sometimes, this thinking process opens a new path that expands directions and provides opportunities!

Assist and Help are confident in their communication strengths. Through their experience in working towards sustaining an ideal and positive atmosphere, they have forged mutual bonds of accountability and dependability.

They have an extraordinary sense of trust in their obligation towards one another as individuals and as a team. They both know of their sincere and truthful natures in dealing with special and unique situations.

Assist and Help appreciate and understand the importance of reliability in supporting one another and their community. They are consistent and effective in their exchanges and suggestions for alternate responses.

They strive to present an example of equality and shared responsibility to all they serve. There is no discrepancy in their roles and obligations. They respect each other and everyone they serve.

Assist and Help are very secure in the knowledge that what they have and what they share is not only the strength of the sanctity of their relationship but also the strength of exactly what is real and valid in life!

Reality:

It is hoped that this fantasy is understood to be the reality that what this society truly needs is more of assist and help and less of what is unfortunately too prevalent today! The loss of caring, decency, honesty and integrity from our souls has unleashed a surrender to corruption, deceit, dishonesty, greed and obsession that now encompasses daily life. Gone are any sense of fairness, generosity and value.

As a people and as a society, hope, trust and virtue need to be restored. Else, the decline from justice and mediation will win. The lack of compassion and mercy will enslave us all. This indeed rests with us as there is no inspiration from our totally disreputable political lacklusters!

July 14: Bare Practitioner’s Day!

Tomorrow, July 14, annually:

BARE PRACTITIONER’S DAY!

Our same gender loving (SGL) nakedness commemoration celebration occasion!

Our very own day for us all to engage and to enjoy the ability to be the person that we really and truly are: us naturally being us!

As bare practitioners, we openly acknowledge our gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer + sexuality (GLBTQ+) and our comfort and preference for our nakedness (body and clothes freedom). There is no need to conceal nor deny these aspects of our personality. These two qualities define us as well as our community and our culture. We are confident and proud of both what and who we really and truly are!

One question frequently asked of us is what characteristic did you determine first, your sexuality or your nakedness? The truth is that there is no standard formula for self-identification. The proverbial “if A followed by B then C happens” varies among each one of us. Some of us understood our sexuality before appreciating our nakedness. For an equal number of us, the opposite is reality. Basically, our bare practitioner status is individually determined through appreciation and awareness and not by a set formula or pattern.

It is our own personal acceptance, appreciation and awareness of these aspects of ourselves that empower and enable us to determine our identification as bare practitioners. We are our own individual “deciding authority!”

Back in January 2017, when Aaron, my spouse, and I initiated ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, there existed an unofficial holiday, “World Nudist Day” – otherwise known as “World Naturist Day.” Aside from knowing that the designation existed, I was unaware of any designed or impromptu observance ever happening. It was almost as though no one wanted to openly admit to actually being a naturist, nudist or clothes freedom enthusiast.

Even though in the USA marriage equality was now legally and officially the “law of the land,” there remained opposition to that reality which resulted to continued bias and marginalization of the SGL population. There was obviously a shortage of widespread equality and respect for SGL people as well.

This absence of equality and respect from the general population was accentuated by the same from the naturist/nudist community. The homophobia present from that culture was and remains very confusing and unsettling to a majority of bare practitioners even today and causes friction and tensions that often hinder cooperation and unity.

For many, this is the major reason for the frequent determination of “SGL beaches” at destinations featuring clothing optional designation. This segregation is preferred over a general “inclusion” into a population that is judgmental and unfriendly. As proven time and time again, people – regardless of their clothing status and/or sexual orientation – prefer being with people they perceive as most similar to themselves.

For those of us who have to professionally interact with numerous individuals far removed from our social preferences, such as Aaron and I, whenever we have the chance, we voluntarily congregate with “our” kind instead of mingling with a general crowd. Sometimes the escape from the ordinary is a welcome relief and definitely fun!

“Heat wave” relief!

“Truth is, most of us contain a splashing, giggling, squealing child inside us who knows without thinking that bare skin and water go together as wings go with air, roots with earth and the phoenix with the incendiary sun.” ~ Unknown ~

Aquatic antics!

“Being a bare practitioner in no way adequately defines us yet it indeed is a fun way to accurately describe us!” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~

One reason for bare practitioners making the best of friends is that the absence of clothing (concealment) enables people to become honest and sincere as they lack the tools to disguise (clothing). What naked friends see – a natural body – is the reality of friendship: bare with pride and nothing to hide!

Have a happy Bare Practitioner’s Day! 14 July 2026

For an overwhelming majority of us, being a bare practitioner is a choice that we freely make…

Desire to become bare!

whether we are alone or in the company of our companions and friends!

Bare camaraderie!

As bare practitioners, we do not intend to offend, we just want to be ourselves!

Our pride in being bare practitioners (SGL naturists/nudists) extends beyond the month of June every year. It’s an ongoing process that re-affirms our fulfillment and self-worth throughout the entire year.

“Our sense of confidence in ourselves doesn’t bestow on any of us the right of arrogance and/or the right of judgment. we, of all people, know better than to make that assumption. Most of us have been the target of judgmental and prejudicial behaviour (or worse) in our own lives and know, first-hand, how that makes people feel. Patience and tolerance of others, regardless of the beliefs and values they hold, should be our guide. Our pride in ourselves includes our pride in our actions towards others.

Being confident and proud of ourselves involves respecting the rights of others in allowing them to be proud of themselves, too. Our freedom should not entail denying the same to anyone else.” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~ 1 June 2017

Our Bad!

I’m jogging to show my naked pride!

We Dip Our Skin!

The above graphic was shared with me by Aaron, my spouse, when we first began publishing ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! in 2017. It depicts a man swimming with his swim briefs/underwear briefs held high above his head – and confidently displaying his hairy armpits! Need I note anything else?

Skinny-dipping:

A once popular colloquial American term referencing simply the act (art) of swimming naked. The only equipment (supply) needed is a source of water and clothes to discord (strip off). The expression (idea) was very popular throughout the rural American south: the former Confederacy. Perhaps the origin of the phrase is the skin (bare body) immersing (dipping) into the water.

Remember: the swimsuit (garment) for men and women didn’t become a fashion choice until the reign of Queen Victoria in the middle 1800s. Prior to that time, practically all recreational (leisure) swimming was always nude, although often segregated by gender.

Skinny-dipping can either be a planned event, such as a fund raiser for a charitable cause, a social gathering, a special occasion, etc. It also may be spontaneous – a spur-of-the-moment decision by a few that rapidly is engaged in by many. Often, it is just done solo – alone – either for comfort or relaxation.

The increasing acceptance of skinny-dipping/swimming naked is due to the rise in public acknowledgement of clothing optional and/or naturist/nudist destinations and resorts in general.

There are a number of new or remodelled facilities that offer facilities with specifically designated areas for textile oriented as well as for natural oriented guests.

In catering to both types of audiences, these facilities are broadening their base of consumer operations as well as expanding their margins of profitability.

There is no established process or standard for skinny-dipping. The procedure is based on each individual or situation specifically.

Primarily it is determined personally by individual according to their own comfort level removing their swimwear.

Clothing optional swimming occurs in all types of water, man-made or natural. For the majority, it is basically based on availability and precisely the level of heat!

In classic American literature, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) popularized swimming naked (skinny-dipping) in his highly successful and notorious classics, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. These two characters inspired American youth to swim without clothing as often as possible – despite the emerging trend of wearing a swimsuit!

There is no mandatory procedure for water entry while skinny-dipping. The approach to swimming naked and the actual entry into the body of water is entirely up to each individual. Everyone follows their own level of comfort. Of course, peer pressure – the urgings of comrades and friends – also serves as a determining factor.

The same conditions apply to the strategy for exiting from the aquatic adventure. There are no established protocols so everyone leaves according to their own comfort and style.

Whatever works best for each skinny-dipper (naked swimmer) is good! The important accomplishment is to be safe and to have fun! A happy skinny-dipper is a repeat skinny-dipper!

Below is an important sentiment to keep in mind while enjoying swimming naked. The experience can be relaxing and rewarding for everyone involved. However, we should all keep in mind that for some people, swimming naked can be a very stressful and/or uncomfortable situation. Support all in their quest to enjoy their summer experiences!

Naked hugs!

My May Turn!

On my job at my university, the Spring semester, 2026, is now officially over. All my tasks are complete. My Summer holiday is now underway! Curious as to my perspective? I am one delightfully ecstatic bare practitioner! Actually, my level of happiness is now equal to my level of nakedness – and neither one of those aspects of joy and satisfaction are willing to concede supremacy to the other!

Thankfully, the work routine is over for the next two months! Otherwise, I’d probably be arrested for publicly parading about in just my skin! I have no desire to conceal or cover any aspect of my body in the immediate future!

After all, summer is for skinny-dipping (swimming bare) and for nakedness! Do I need to add here that it is my very favourite time of the year?

Alex, my identical twin brother and I are home in Greece with our mother this week. She is fine and in good health and very happy to have her identical angels with her this time! Needless to say, we’re both very excited to be with her! Although the week will pass too quickly, it is a visit that we’ll remember! For me, at least, there is no job awaiting my return! LOL!

My spouse, Aaron, has extra duties at his job while I am overseas. Otherwise, he would have time to compose a posting for here.

The Glory of Spring!

Phoenix Fellington, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! bare spokes-model!

“I love being nude outside – all out in the open!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~

The absolute truth in his own words, honesty is indeed the best policy! Thank you, Phoenix, for sharing your love with us all!

Alternate title:

The Glory of Spring! The Joy of Nakedness! The Wonders of the World!

Fresh green foliage, a beautiful day with ideal weather and everyone meeting at a local park for a…a) Spring hike; b) nature walk; c) casual stroll; d) environmental exploration? Any title (heading) for whatever is about to happen is probably appropriate as long as it doesn’t infer “formal.” After all, none of us are wearing any clothes!

But wait! No one informed us the nakedness was mandatory! Maybe “nature walk” hints that a “nature/natural” walk suggests bare but clothes free was never specifically mentioned. True, but no one gave us reason to expect that garments were required!

Honestly, a “dress code” – wardrobe – was never considered for this activity. Why bother if it isn’t a necessity? The month is May. The season is Spring. We’re all bare practitioners. Who has the inclination and the time to deal with attire? Given these conditions, if clothing is even an issue, it is convenient and safe to assume that it is optional. No additional thought is necessary!

Phoenix Fellington (center) and his hiking crew!

The mission or undertaking? An exploration, a hike, a stroll, a tour, a walk through a park. A time to leisurely absorb the splendours of the season after the barren and drab occasion of winter. An appreciation of the renewal of nature while completely natural (bare). The fewer the distractions, the better!

The ability to be us – ourselves – without any care, concern or regard as to fashion and/or style makes the hibernation routine of the winter somewhat tolerable. At least that inconvenience is now behind us for the immediate future. We can now concentrate on the present and our same gender loving (SGL) nakedness in planning our upcoming events and schedules!

Liberated from the confines of our dwelling, the adventure of new opportunities await. Our curiosity and imagination now provide the inspiration and the motivation to seek and to try! This is our well-earned reward: the Glory of Spring! the Joy of Nakedness! the wonder of Our World!

The mission in motion!

Joy of Nakedness is easily depicted by a communal walk along the trail in a park by bare practitioners. The energy involved is matched by the enthusiasm of the participants in their renude (renewed) tour of the natural world around them! As each season is different, we understand that the glory in each one contains familiar as well as novel elements!

Phoenix’s buttocks are the pair in the middle!

At the end of the adventure, a satisfied and well-earned sigh from everyone. Accompanied by the bare summary of my spouse, Aaron:

” A great day! Clothes free and fun for everyone!”

Naked hugs!

Bare-Volution: Introduction!

Evolving bare together!

Introduction:

For many of us “experienced” bare practitioners, the evolution from textile (clothed) to our nakedness is as simple as just not wearing any clothing at all! No detailed explanation is necessary, we’re merely clothes free – bare, naked, nude – and that’s it! It doesn’t require an act of parliament to recognize this fact.

Yet there are some among us who need patience, tolerance and understanding in order to evolve from fashionable (clothing) to freedom (nudity). This discrepancy is not by choice. It is simply a matter of personality and uniqueness. It is also the purpose of today’s post entry here for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Hesitant about being seen in nakedness!

The Reality:

The basic, essential and ultimate fact is there exists no determined universal standard agenda/formula/guideline/lesson plan that presents us with a guaranteed solution in resolving the issue of a) personal comfort posing and b) self confidence in our nudity. There are numerous suggestions and countless options but not one absolute perfect equation acceptable for everyone. Our similarities are endless and simultaneously, so are our differences.

Thus, the profusion of options/theories to consider, examine and explore. The choices are unlimited and new proposals appear and older offerings disappear without schedule or warning. This situation sometimes results in confusion especially when the newer ideas directly conflict the older concepts and vice versa.

Selfie pose!

Most persons posing for pictures without clothes or covering generate some consideration or hesitancy. This is natural/ordinary. The wearing of garments is a “learned” (taught) behaviour which is among the most difficult of behaviours to “un-learn.” Even the most experienced bare practitioners concede to a certain nervousness when posing for photos nude. Such is the “variety” of life and our uniqueness as individuals!

The simplest solution is to just pose naked and move forward in life. This is the coping strategy that is applicable to the vast majority. Yet there are some who have lingering anxiety about this problem. Unfortunately, there is no general resolution available.

His briefs on his head!

The Underwear Party:

Aaron, my spouse, has experience coaching (advising, instructing) and coaxing (encouraging) those exploring SGL nakedness in easing into social nudity. One method he endorses is the hosting of an “underwear party” where each participant must wear only one underwear garment. The overwhelming majority employ the customary and very traditional boxers/briefs/thongs scenario.

Underwear Party: the usual audience!

The usual approach conceals/covers the genital region and is worn 99% in the conventional manner. What is not admitted is the fact that about 6 – 8 planners of the activity wear their mandatory single underwear item on their heads – beret style!

His briefs as a hat!

When these planners enter the social gathering as a group, they receive everyone’s attention and laughter! They are immediate social “stars” and soon others are imitating their sense of style. Even those who were anxious and nervous in being completely bare in front of others! They were involved in the atmosphere of frivolity they disregarded or else forgot about their anxiety and joined in the fun! Mission accomplished!

The game of Twister!

The Twister Game:

The simple and popular game “twister” is another favourite activity according to Aaron’s experience in helping others become comfortable with social nudity. The game involves everyone being completely clothes free and then matching the body appendage (hand, foot) with a particular colour. The entanglement of the bare bodies creates the “fun” aspect of the activity.

Each game can accommodate up to four players so a number of games may be needed, depending on the anticipated attendance. The speed of the matching colour and appendage keeps the excitement and fun in focus. Fortunately, this activity can be played both indoors or outside.

Games that encourage participants to compete instead of focusing on their communal (social) nudity are very widely popular with newcomers to the bare practitioner community. The attention is directed into the activity rather than on just everyone being naked together.

More Twister!

As the “newly-nude” – nubies – begin to realize that there are opportunities for being bare that are participant involved instead of everyone just sitting around and staring at a room full of clothes free people. Nakedness is encouraged and endorsed while at the same time it is not the sole reason for the event. There is planned activity/agenda to keep everyone focused and involved.

Juggling!

Having a directed and organised theme enables the anxious and conscientious nubie that the majority of the attention of the bare practitioners will be on the actions of the competitors and participants and not solely on the bodies present. This “distraction” may not remove the concern and inhibitions of everyone but hopefully allow them to relax and begin to get comfortable in socially naked environments.

Aaron believes that any type of activity helps to reduce the nervousness and tensions that those who are newcomers may experience. Available options may include even simpler events such as charades and card games. It doesn’t require expense and extensive planning. Sometimes the familiar and the simple are the best and most enjoyed by all!

Naked hugs!
