We Won!

Winner!

The 2026 Election Results Are Announced! We’re So Happy, We have To Be Bare!

Everyone we voted for and all the proposed constitutional amendments were approved! For my spouse, Aaron and I, our choices were identical. The only difference being the passports we used for identification!

Senate:

Warner (Democrat) Re-elected!

Congress:

Beyer (Democrat) Re-elected!

Constitutional Amendment Referendum:

Question #1: Doctor/patient confidentiality; right-to-choose: Yes! Passed!

Question #2: Marriage equality; interracial and same gender: Yes! Passed!

Question #3: Restore prisoner voting rights after incarceration: Yes! Passed!

As to which one of us was the first to discard his clothing upon learning of the election results? It was likely a tie as we were both thrilled! This outcome sends a very important message to the felon-in-chief: the decency and respectability of the constituents of the Commonwealth of Virginia will prevail!

Naked hugs!

Halloween pumpkin face!

31 October, annually, is the day of the Halloween festivity here in the USA! Here, this festive participant has painted his buttocks as a “pumpkin face.”

Bottoms-up! elevated!

The end of October and the weather outside is becoming colder as autumn approaches the winter season. If confined inside four walls because of chills, elevating buttocks in honour of bottoms-up! is encouraged!

Bottoms-up! duo!

Two bottoms-up! proudly displayed in one picture! Who could ask for anything more?

Pumpkin Party!

A smiling pumpkin face adorning his buttocks! A Halloween greeting from both Aaron, my spouse, and I to all of you! We’re not really enthusiastic Halloween celebrants, but we both know that many bare practitioners are excited about this particular occasion. Our best wishes to all of you!

A “live” pumpkin parade stalking down this special sidewalk! They’re both offering their complete nakedness along with their seasonal masks! Fortunately, this special season encourages us all to conceal our identities and to have fun and a good time!

He’s adorned himself as a “pumpkin head!” No other disguise is necessary as his bare practitioner affiliation is confirmed and duly noted by us all! All Halloween guests beware: his pumpkin ghost has yet to appear!

Flying through the air with the greatest haunting breeze available! His pumpkin adorns his backpack as his broom transports him from one Halloween event to another!

Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Strippers!

Halloween is naked on the beach and all along the shore!

Prevention Proposals!

In preparation of the upcoming Halloween observance (31 October, annually) a look at suggestions to retain our bare practitioner identity and still appear a part of the Halloween social custom. The Halloween season provides an opportunity for costumed social gatherings and this upcoming weekend, which is the final weekend before the occasion happens is time for many to host their own costumed events!

Halloween is traditionally a time for costume wearing and fun. Nonsensical spirited occasion that emerged as the general population sought a means to escape the western churches custom of honouring the deceased on All Soul’s Day and All Saint’s Day – the goodness of humanity and the sacredness of human life. The costume culture grew in popularity as persons sought ways to anonymously express themselves in a way that originally would keep them free from reproach.

This soon became associated with both horror and humour as well as frightening others into avoiding evil actions by the offering of treats (candies) to “save” their souls (well-being). It is now an obsession in many communities as participants vie to represent terror and life-threatening instances that often reflect crime and tortuous enterprising instead of humour, fantasy and fun!

The elaborate costuming now offers another fashion trend that encourages revelers to continue to conceal or to “cover-up” their bodies beneath these extravagant costumes. Many argue that this presents an ideal situation for bare practitioners to celebrate being themselves by hiding their nakedness and joining in the frivolous fun of adorning ourselves with the fabulous costumes!

Since a majority of us of the body and clothes freedom community must comply with “dress” (clothes wearing) codes on a daily basis for legal and professional compliance, the use of a costume – especially in a social engagement – is a most inconvenient and restrictive reminder of our repetitive surrender of our joy of our nakedness. Conformity too often is oppression magnified and extremely frustrating!

My spouse, Aaron, and I offer this post entry here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! in an effort to enlighten the Halloween enthusiasts among our bare practitioner community and culture these alternative options and possibilities for their horrific and specific pleasure. The trio of “the wild man” (cave man) clubber offered in the introduction of this posting involves the body painting of our nudity without concealing or disguising our pride and pleasure in our nakedness.

We’re employing colour and imagination in addition to enjoying, promoting and relaxing in our nakedness! A live testimony to our creativity and to our social nature! Using these depictions as an example, we encourage all to mimic (copy) this scenario or to improvise with a more personal favourite! The body painting featured here requires the material body paint but does not require intense artistic skill!

Another idea is the utilization of body paint in the designing of a message that proclaims our confidence in our bare practitioner status and our natural (naked) state-of-being! Announcing our enthusiasm and joy in our public display of our body and of ourselves! Simply: us being us! Join with us in our clothes freedom! Join with us and receive your due reward: a kiss!

While the body paint remains available, we can focus attention on our natural freedom and commemorate our natural (anatomical) ability to flaunt our disregard for conformity and a restrictive society! We can embrace our origin! We all entered this world without guilt or shame, why should we even be bothered by any false sense of embarrassment now?

The plentiful supply of body paint during this Halloween time of the year allows us to decorate ourselves with the colours of our rainbow heritage and incorporate not only our comfort in our nakedness but our pride in our same gender loving (SGL) character as well!

As authentic bare practitioners, we are equally comprised of the benefits of our clothes freedom and our sexuality heritages!

Essentially, we’re all qualified as Guys Without Boxers! no matter what style of underwear we prefer – or if we wear any at all! Our contentment, happiness and satisfaction is exemplified in our basic celebration of us being ourselves: nakedness and same gender loving!

Naked hugs!

Variations!

Felipe Ferreira!

For the remainder of this month, October, there will be some minor variations in the publishing schedule here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! This is due to the additional professional responsibilities that I have been assigned and a professional conference that I must attend – I am actually presenting a workshop for attendees that lasts three days. Actually, that conference is in November, so please be attentive to the upcoming publication announcements at the conclusion of each post entry!

What is today?

Columbus Day:

Legislation to create Columbus Day as a federal holiday was signed by then-president Lyndon Baines Johnson on 28 June 1968, to be effective beginning in 1971. It became part of the Monday holiday observance and is now traditionally the second Monday in October. As a federal holiday, it is observed by the USA government but it is not binding in all states.

The honouring of the holiday is declining throughout the country and is rapidly being replaced by Indigenous People’s Day. This commemoration pays tribute to the original people living here and who have no recognition for the hardships and suffering they endured once the Europeans began immigration here.

Many municipalities have begun dismantling statues erected of Columbus. For years he was credited with “discovering” when actually he merely landed here after the Vikings had visited and settled here centuries earlier.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day!

Naked hugs!

October Footnote!

Below is a poem commemorating the colours of autumn. At the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind, we had to memorize the poem to strengthen our knowledge and skills in the English language. All these years later the poem remains a memory.

My identical twin brother, Alex, and I are unable to this day understand all the words or intentions of this particular poem. The plants are alien to Virginia and the ideals expressed are unfamiliar. Unfortunately, others in our class at the residential school felt similar. Despite this incomprehension, our teacher was otherwise exceptional and one of my favourites.

October’s Bright Blue Weather

by Helen Hunt Jackson

O suns and skies and clouds of June,

and flowers of June together,

Ye cannot rival for one hour

October’s bright blue weather.

When loud the bumblebee makes haste,

Belated, thriftless, vagrant,

And goldenrod is dying fast,

And lanes with grapes are fragrant;

When gentians roll their fringes tight

To save them for the morning,

And chestnuts fall from satin burrs

Without a sound of warning;

When on the ground red apples lie

In piles like jewels shining,

And redder still on old stone walls

Are leaves of woodbine twining;

When all the lovely wayside things

Their white-winged seeds are sowing,

And in the fields still green and fair,

Late aftermaths are growing;

When springs run low, and on the brooks,

In idle golden freighting,

Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush

Of woods, for winter waiting;

When camrades seek sweet country haunts,

By twos and threes together,

And count like misers, hour by hour,

October’s bright blue weather.

O suns and skies and flowers of June,

Count all your boasts together,

Love loveth best of all the year

October’s bright blue weather.

I can – with all honesty – not recall another poem in praise of the month of October!

Naked hugs!

Buttocks bid good-bye to summer, 2026!

This is the end of the month that also coincides with the end of the summertime here in the Northern Hemisphere! So as we offer farewell to the passing season, we do it as memorable as possible, with our bottoms-up salute!

A bottoms-up novel!

Our days along the sandy shores won’t last forever, so many make every fleeting moment worth every effort!

Aquatic buttocks!

He’s skinny-dipping for fun as well as for celebrating this remarkable bottoms-up! occasion! Nice pose, amigo! Gracias!

Automobile exit!

Our anatomical “bottom” has – at last – arrived on the scene! Let the world know another pair of buttocks are now on location!

A Penny For My Thoughts!

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

Me, asleep! June, 2013

As the often awful subject of body hair was a part of the recent posting of Bare Celebrity Series #11: Brazilian Foreplay here, I wanted to include my feelings on our all natural growth. As for me (above), my body hair is very limited: basically my armpits, my genital region and of course, my head. Aside from that, I’m naturally smooth skin.

So, when I am skinny-dipping (swimming naked), it really is mostly all skin that gets dipped!

As a mature, professional man (hospital nursing supervisor), I know that whatever amount of natural body hair that I have doesn’t automatically make me into a responsible man. Yet it does help to send the message that I am aware of impressions and that I’m not some foolish wannabe (want-to-be) who is afraid to “man-up” (be a man)! Besides, when I am working, I wear clothes (uniform) and my armpits and genitals aren’t visible!

“Bare is a true gauge of equality. The significant discrepancy being some have more body hair than others.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 1 June 2020

My accepting my natural state-of-being (body hair) I use as a statement of my being a decent man who tries his best to do what is expected, needed and right.

“Body hair adds dignity and integrity to our nudity.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 1 June 2020

I don’t try to avoid, hide or to be invisible. I know what is required and I do what I can best do to succeed.

I try to set an example. I am happiest in my nakedness and I want others to see and understand that. I am a natural man with my hairy armpits and my hairy penis. I just try to keep it simple and real!

If I grow it, then I am confident and proud to show it! My nakedness makes that happen!

“Body hair – a little or a lot – is part of being manly. Like our armpits, nipples, penis and testicles, it is what combined makes us the what and who we are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” ~ Sean Xavier ~ bare practitioner and gay celebrity Spring, 2009

Summer Ends, 2026!

Farewell forplay!

Last full day of summer, 2026!

The proverbial adage “all good things must come to an end” actually does happen!

Astronomical autumn (the September equinox) is when the sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south which results in nearly equal lengths of daylight and moonlight. This occurs in 2026 on Tuesday, 22 September at approximately 8:04 PM (EDT).

Farewell, summer! Greetings, autumn!

Naked hugs!

I have to get there on time for the Brazilian Foreplay!

Weekend Wetness!

Transparency!

As a confirmed, devoted and loyal bare practitioner – by birth and by choice – it is an accepted and expected fact that Alex, my identical twin brother and I swim nude (skinny-dip). Neither one of us have a reason to discard, dispute and/or ignore this established reality of our lives. The same applies to both my spouse, Aaron and myself! This proverbial apple did not fall too far from the original tree! No benefit, incentive or reward is offered so why even bother to change!

As we observe the final official (recognized) weekend of the 2026 summer season here in the Northern Hemisphere, aquatic indulgence is compatible, convenient in addition to being also fun and healthy! This time of the year is ending now so enjoy very much what time we have remaining!

A weekend of wetness – of experiencing the exciting freedom of being all natural in our nakedness in full view of both nature and the sun – is an applicable and appropriate commemoration of the end of summer. An amazing and awesome means to bid a fond farewell (good-bye) to the season!

The location of our salutation to summer makes no difference. Either a natural body of water (lake, ocean, river, etc.) or a man-made creation (canal, pool or landscaped into) is all good. It keeps us cool and wet!

Of course, we all know that the weather transition from summer to autumn isn’t dramatic and instantaneous. It is gradual and tranquil. There are some days with ample opportunity to skinny-dip (swim naked) still ahead. Fortunately, that is the exclusive advantage of being able to go skinny-dipping – it is completely spontaneous and requires no attire! Nakedness only! In the official records, however, it will no longer occur within the designation of summer.

Thank you, summer of 2026, for all the memories and times of frolic, fun, happiness, sand, sun, surf and waves! They will remain within our hearts and minds for many years to come!

A happy and safe last weekend of summer to everyone here! Get yourself outside if possible and enjoy!

Naked hugs!
