Bottom’s-Up! January, 2026!

Nocturnal confusion causes his bottoms-up! pose to be angled and on the tips of his feet! The year 2026 did arrive without incident!

Our man above was in his kitchen to prepare breakfast when he realized today was bottoms-up! day! He promptly dropped his shorts in order to bare his buttocks!

Enforcing the “bottoms-up!” ruling!

Violating the policy of bare “bottoms-up!” only on the last day of every month has some very serious consequences!

Totally clothes free and bottoms-up!

Our man above understands the importance of kneeling for “bottoms-up!” adherence and uniformity!

Buttocks-to-buttocks line-up!

Our two pair of buttocks line-up in observance of the end of the first month of our new year!

Naked hugs!

If we’re unable to be our true selves, how can we expect others to be truthful with us?

Combination!

Two bare on one stair!

Whenever possible, offering or presenting more than what is expected or required does occasionally please and surprise the recipient. As this is the final week of the first month of a new year, 2026, now seems to be an appropriate time to put this theory into practice! Therefore, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is offering two different post entries (unrelated) here in one combined post entry. The more we share, the merrier we can all be!

Return To ReNude!

Over the recent winter holidays, while with my spouse, Aaron, and his family in Toronto, Canada, we deliberated and made the decision to resurrect one of the original monthly series initially published here: A Penny For My Thoughts. We had discontinued it after several years for no other reason than the fact that we were scarce on subjects to offer.

We are keeping the title and revising the format. It will now feature a quote with a brief description/explanation of the intent. We plan to remain simple as to avoid any mistake or misunderstanding.

The original posting was on the day before the other monthly series, Bottom’s-Up!, was published. We plan to continue with that same schedule.

The series will return here this upcoming Friday, 30 January 2026!

Naked hugs!

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

What Did We Miss?

Did we forget something?

The winter holiday visit with my spouse’s family in Toronto, Canada, was both busy and hectic. The time of the year (major holiday and holy day) and the mealtime gatherings made for a very social experience that left little “free-time” than normally available. Also, two of Aaron’s nephews (sons of different sisters) had two different puppies…and they needed their time with “Uncle Roger!”

Of course, I needed “my time” with my energetic and furry canine “nephews!”

Upon return, it seemed like only one afternoon of unplanned freedom before back to work at university and the start of Spring semester, 2026! A new schedule, new students and a new routine kept me in long office hours for all of two weeks. Two new colleagues at the job ensured an even longer than usual work day!

Since returning to the classroom, my mother had a medical emergency that forced to deal with the reality of a fateful return to Greece. Fortunately, it was a minor issue that my oldest brother over-reacted!

I’ve seriously neglected the blogs and sites that I follow! I humbly apologize and plan to use my time this weekend to return to my favourites and hopefully become current.

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!

Bare Celebrity Role Model #5: Happy Birthday!

Sean Xavier born Kyle Overton!

Prologue:

Here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are publishing a series of post entries dealing with various aspects of bare celebrity role models. When we are composing an entry on the date of an actual birthday of an authentic bare practitioner whom we find impressive on the screen, why let the opportunity pass unnoticed? Such is the situation today for honouring the superlative Sean Xavier!

His career name (stage name) is Sean Xavier. In the extremely unlikely event that you don’t recognize him, we’ll continue with a casual introductory listing of his vital statistics in order for us all to celebrate his birthday (today)!

Sean Xavier Vital Statistics:

Birth Name: Kyle Overton

Birth Date: January 16, 1988

Birthplace: Victorville, California, USA

Height: 6’0″ (183 cm)

Weight: 169lbs. (77 kg)

Hair: Black

Eyes: Brown

Penis: Circumcised (cut) 10″ (flaccid/soft)

Body Hair: Armpit, chest, pubic

Sexuality: Exclusively gay

Sexual Position: Versatile

Preferred: Alpha (top)

A youthful Sean Xavier!

A Black man (African-American) in the same gender loving (SGL) adult film trade is nothing new. Sean/Kyle does have a distinguishing advantage over other actors: his prestigious manhood (penis). Even when flaccid (relaxed) it hangs in view for all to admire. His success in the gay adult film industry is in part attributed to his very prominent anatomy! His natural body hair (armpit, chest and pubic) add to his sensual physique!

A couple of personal notations here. My fantasies involving Sean began when I initially encountered the above picture of him proudly posing his nakedness and his very appealing underarm fur. That photo of him inaugurated my desire and fascination with the man! My spouse, Aaron, recalls his fantasy motivation with him beginning with the size and length of his very generous and noticeable penis!

Back then, he was known as Sean XL. Many of us simply assumed the “XL” designation was in reference to his male genitalia. Our man certainly fulfilled the criteria for that determination!

Sean/Kyle offers an exceptional confidence and pride in his nudity. Far too many bisexual and gay men have body shame in being without the latest fashion items concealing them. Our man? Not so! Nothing in the clothing line is best to feature than his very “natural endowment!”

Sean receives a birthday kiss!

Aaron and I, in publishing ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! acknowledge and appreciate the reality that the trait of nakedness is a priority over our same gender loving (SGL) agenda. Both attributes are equal in our lives as bare practitioners, yet the fact that the bisexual or gay components are what attract interest here initially. The SGL feature is enhanced, enriched and expanded by the naturist/nudist curiosity, examination, exploration and understanding.

Sean, our birthday celebrant, also recognizes this truth. People are comprehending the nakedness concept through acceptance of the bisexual or gay determination. Therefore, more emphasis is on body and clothes freedom nature. Our sexual orientation is an important factor yet the primary interest is the nudity.

Sean/Kyle, in his professional capacity – in front of a camera lens – makes no effort to conceal and/or detract from his bare status. If and when possible, he does employ the appearance of any type of garment as a subtle tool of “proclaiming” his being nude!

Sean Xavier on stage!

This initiative strengthens his commercial appeal among his audiences and serves as a prime example for others new to the SGL adult film careers! The bisexual/gay film movie executives finally recognized this ability of Sean’s work. It opened even more doors for professional expansion and resulted in his being viewed as more than just a “porn actor!”

Live on stage!

Sean Xavier did briefly “retire” from the SGL film industry in order to explore several opportunities for alternate work. His retirement lasted less than a year before his major “comeback” (return) was launched! The staged clips (above) were created for one of his theatrical roles.

“Body hair – a little or a lot – is part of being manly. Like our nipples, penis and testicles, it is a part of our anatomy that makes us what and who we are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” `~ Sean Xavier ~ gay adult actor

The above picture of Sean/Kyle was taken early in his career. In a notation he added to an interview at the time, he publicly regretted that he had allowed a studio attendant to shave his chest hair. His honesty with the studio policies demonstrates a trait he has exemplified throughout his film performances.

Sean/Kyle: maschalagnia (hairy armpit confidence)!

He is very proud of his underarm fur – and I am, too! For those who are fairly new to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, I openly acknowledge my obsession with this masculine anatomical feature! To be completely truthful, I am always impressed with hirsuteness adorning a man – Sean/Kyle especially!

Serious hirsute pride!

His birthday happens in January but there is absolutely nothing cold about Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton! His fans worldwide agree with me on that observation. Even his serious facial expression is inviting and welcome! He obviously was taught to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you!” An important lesson that someone needs to teach the majority of all of our political leadership!

Now, we can all sit back, devour our slice of birthday cake and watch Sean celebrate being another year older!

Happy Birthday, Sean Xavier/KyleOverton!

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, January 19, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Reverend Dr. Martin L. King Day!”

Author’s Note #2: It is Sean/Kyle’s birthday today, so we should be as “giving” as possible to please his day!

Author’s Note #3: After all, we invaded your “special” day! Our gratitude to you, Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton!

Signature Question?

Background:

The signature referenced in this post entry title for today is not the cursive handwritten application of one’s name. It instead is the process of concluding one feature that is part of the post entry in the format of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! This is the gif. graphic depicting the man engaging in his daily exercise/fitness ritual.

Introduction:

My spouse, Aaron, and I apologize for any confusion generated by the erratic postings here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! There was no intention to deliberately create any question in anyone’s mind as to whether we were abandoning or ignoring the usual Monday and Friday publishing routine. That is simply the fault of the calendar format for this month of January 2026! Too many dates happening outside of our regular sequence!

Of course, some of the blame can be placed on the winter holiday schedule. Again, that is also another calendar issue. In desperation, if there’s an alternate excuse for our irregular post entries here, we’ll gladly assign guilt wherever it can be given!

Hopefully, this month is the only one of 2026 that will cause this confusion. Spontaneity is good but only in small increments. Too much and any type of routine is best cast aside!

This type of situation is our reasoning for offering our Author’s Note signature at the conclusion of the post entries here. It enables us the to alert everyone of the next planned publishing. It also serves to remind us to plan in advance of publication. This is a gentle and subtle encouragement to urge all of us to carefully read the signature!

For those who are unfamiliar with this site’s design, the above .gif graphic appears as the introduction to the Author’s Note section of posts. The bare practitioner jogger out for his nakedness run simply “jumps-for-joy” while following his daily exercise. During the winter holidays, Aaron discovered another .gif graphic that we can also utilize for this that presents us the opportunity to add some variety into our postings. The new one is posted here below.

Aaron’s discovery enables us to offer a “two-in-one” commemoration experience of not only our nakedness but also our ability to skinny-dip (bare aquatics)! More fun for everyone!

In drafting (writing) this entry for today, I encountered another .gif graphic found by Aaron back in 2022. He gave it to me for sharing here as it depicted close to our original signature .gif image. I uploaded it on St. Valentine’s Day of that year and then thoughtlessly forgot that I even had it. Upon the rediscovery, Aaron immediately chastised me for erasing it from my memory! I promptly placed some of the blame for this incident back to him as I wasn’t the only one who suffered a memory lapse!

I think I’ll begin publishing all three (3) signatures at least on a monthly basis as part of concluding the bottom’s-up! series here. The jogging/running penises offer a nice contrast to a month’s worth of buttocks!

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note Addendum: On second thought, why bother to wait until the end of the month? I can begin inclusivity by offering all three (3) signatures today!

Author’s Note Addendum #2: Hail! Hail! Nakedness in triplicate racing towards another weekend!

Bare Friends, TAN, Part 1!

Jay and Roger!

Full Title:

Bare Friends: Truth About Nakedness!

It may not be always accepted and fully appreciated as an absolute truth, but the fact is that the common bond of our mutual nakedness – body and clothes freedom – indeed helps create and encourage friendship! Our relationship – Jay and I -is living proof that reality. We have been the epitome of this philosophy since we first met on Saturday, 3 January, 2009!

In the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, this day was the first “nude happy hour” of the new year. It was also the month of then President-Elect Barack Obama’s initial inauguration; the air was full of excitement and a welcome of change and hope following eight long years of repetition and stagnation under the retreating political administration. All of this accompanied by a balmy day with the outside temperatures into the 70s F: almost unknown for the month of January!

Now, my recollection of everything that happened on the actual date and circumstances related to our beginning our friendship could last forever as we observe this annually. For those who are curious about our meeting and then one week later encountering one another – again – and the both of us failing to recognize one another because we were textile (wearing clothes) that second time, check the two links offered here: Bare Friendships Part 1 and Bare Friendships Part 2 .

Our initial meeting at the SGL social nakedness gathering, there exists a pictorial reminder/souvenir of one of the topics we discussed that day: penis fascination among gay men! Jay had this image sent to him by a friend and then showed it to me. I was intrigued and asked him to forward it to me and he did! I’ve saved it ever since and for a couple of years, it was our “signature” that we shared with one other over emails and/or texting.

Jay and Roger’s first communication “signature!”

The remarkable aspect of this early .gif image is that it is a reminder of simplyhow “normal” bare practitioner close friendships (BPF) can become! We could very well have been mistaken for “wearing clothes!”

Footnote #1: Later that summer – 2009 – when Jay and I took a day trip to a popular “nudist resort” in southern Virginia, we were limited to a day only stay. Virginia, the capital state of the former Confederacy wasn’t as progressive towards interracial friendships despite the fact that President Obama had won here that previous November!

Our “signature” picture had inspired us to attempt to be playful on that day!

Our having two prominent common denominators in our developing relationship (friendship) – being SGL and nakedness enthusiasts – are clearly potent indications of the myths that frequently happen throughout our shared community and culture. Often the assumption was made that we were “lovers” who just “fell” into friendship after our bromantic “coupling” ended.

Nevermind the fact that we have not ever shared any physical intimacy together! We’ve always remained strictly platonic and have enjoyed numerous times of fun and laughter doing so, especially when free without the heavy burden of garments!

The circumstances and the individuals involved determine the evolution path of every relationship, whether platonic or intensely erotic and passionate. There are those “authority” figures who seek to decree and/or mandate how all interactions should happen; yet, we all know that decision is conveniently, easily and often discarded, dismissed and/or ignored repeatedly time and time again!

Phoenix Fellington and friend!

In summary, no specific by-law or rule governs all friendships/bromantic SGL relationships. Guidelines and/or strong recommendations certainly exist, we all know that, but the ultimate decision rests with the persons affected – regardless of their gender/sexual affiliation and whether or not they are wearing clothes!

Footnote #2: I’m flying off to spend some time with Jay and his partner. Raheem. As 3 January this year also happens on a Saturday this year, time to be with Jay and reminisce and recollect on our friendship (very best friendship) anniversary! Perhaps we’ll have time to recapture our imitation of the elephant (penis twirl) again! Raheem can operate the camera!

Naked hugs!

Bottoms-Up! December, 2025!

It is almost time for our New, Nude Year to begin! Hello and welcome to 2026! Both the night and the year are still young! Beaux Banks, SGL film industry actor, uses his buttocks to send off 2025 and to say hello to 2026!

The weather outside is unpredictable, so we stay inside where it is cozy and warm and share our bottoms-up! with everyone!

Nakation (naked + vacation = nakation)!

The time of year to enjoy an escape from our routine!

A poolside bottoms-up! salute to all our bare practitioner community and culture residing in the Southern Hemisphere who are now welcoming their season of outdoor clothes freedom!

A furry final bottoms-up! farewell for all of 2025!
