Bare Celebrity Role Model #4: Our Gift!

Phoenix Fellington: Extraordinary Spokes-model!

The double-header .gifs offered here demonstrate not only Phoenix/Tre’s abilities in rhythm but also his grace and bold comfort with his nakedness. For him, his body is his personal poetry – freely shared for all to admire and to appreciate!

Aaron, my spouse, and I are both impressed by these double .gif images of our remarkable and talented spokes-model. His natural skills prove his knowledge in making both a camera and a photographer work for his full advantage. Amazing talent, Phoenix!

The majority of frequent and regular visitors here – and long-time followers – are aware of this site’s relationship “unofficially” (unpaid) with our infamous and notorious advocate of nakedness, himself an openly gay man and SGL adult film industry super-star, Phoenix Fellington! For all those who are relatively new to this site, below is an offering of Phoenix’s basic statistics.

Birthname: TreLaron Fenderson

Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, USA

Birthdate: 18 October, 1994

Height: 5’8″ (173 cm)

Weight: 165 lbs. (75 kg)

Tattoos: yes

Body type: athletic

Body hair: natural (armpit, pubic)

Penis: circumcised (cut) 9.5″ (24 cm)

Sexuality: gay

Sexual position: versatile beta

“I love being nude outside!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~

Our celebrity spokes-model proclaims his preference for being openly body and clothes free where he has the luxury of being himself: nakedness and gay with no one in the way! A true bare practitioner! His quotation above offers a brief yet direct summary of his personal choice for nature while completely natural: a winning combination! In this regard, he does not fall short of his goal. In his bottoms-up! pose, he displays himself as a genuine “treat” on a picnic table in a public park! Enjoy being the man that you truly are, Phoenix!

An expansive and open public park isn’t the only outside location where he enjoys making his nakedness available. A beach scene: sand, sun and surf provide an excellent space for his naturist/nudist “fashion-less” modeling! Our body is a major part of ourselves and is with us everywhere! Why wear clothes and pretend that we don’t care?

Our ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! spokes-model also shares his professional advice and experience with other men seeking a variety of careers within the SGL film industry. In his voluntary role as a professional mentor, he strives to show them the caring, sensitive and upright capacity that they can offer to others like themselves. A firm believer in the “each one, teach one” strategy!

His same gender love (SGL) activism is of equal importance to his advocacy for self-determination of nudity. The private lives of actors within the gay film studios while not performing for a movie scene is their personal business and should not be judged by film industry executives and investors. Their right is to appear, bare or clothed, with whomever they desire. It is not an element of their studio contract. A personal relationship is of individual choice and preference.

The contracts for the SGL films are for each individual film, scene-by-scene, and not for a set length of time. Therefore, the studios and executives have no definitive authority over an actor’s acquaintances, friends or with whom they can or cannot be seen with, nude (especially) or textile.

If Aaron, my spouse. and I wanted to walk along the beach with Phoenix – all three of us in our glorious nakedness – it is strictly our prerogative and is no concern of any studio nor the “busy-body” executives!

No one has “ownership” over anyone in the pornography business. Each person determines their own bare practitioner companions. They are accountable to no one else for their decisions.

The same holds true for our private sexual partners. Our lives are our very own. We can be responsible for ourselves without the interference of others.

In addition to his volunteering as a professional mentor and/or role model for aspiring employees in the bisexual/gay porn industry, Phoenix/Tre also assumed an additional role for himself – as an educator!

“Why do I do gay porn? To teach people how to have sex. Responsibly and safely!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~ ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! spokes-model ~

A very commendable and ideal intent and purpose! We all salute your good work and caring nature! Empowering, enabling, and ensuring that our bare practitioner community and culture remains competent, consistent and responsible for our place within the GLBTQ+ world!

Naked hugs!

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!

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!

Bare Celebrity Role Models, #1!

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

The Use of Pictures of Openly Gay Porn Stars to Illustrate This Blog!

Preliminary:

My initial intent was to incorporate this topic into my recent posting of Bare/Dare Series 2025! here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! Several complaints and/or concerns have been expressed to me over this issue. Upon drafting a post entry this identical topic evolved into the inspiration for the Bare/Dare series. While composing that series, this decision was made to resolve this topic and reverting to the intent of a separate posting.

Prologue:

As the entire month of October in the US is observed as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer + (GLBTQ+) History Month this practice of using gay film stars – and recognition – of publicly acknowledging their status (pornography) – encourages and promotes the “disreputable” nature of their profession.

The subject matter itself is part of our GLBTQ+ story. Thus, it is automatically historical. Hence, it is both an appropriate and worthy topic to be featured during this commemoration of GLBTQ+ History Month, 2025!

The fact remains that it is indeed both a controversial and sensitive topic within our community and our culture. That reality alone justifies it being addressed and considered during this occasion!

It directly involves and reflects upon this site. That relationship merits a place in our history here!

Background:

One of the widely accepted purposes of the publishing of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is to end the bias and prejudice against same gender loving (SGL) nakedness. In order to dispute the myth of excessive nude sexual exploitation, this blog avoids all images of any sexual intimacy. We are not a sexual publication. There is an abundance of material available to satisfy that demand.

Our goal here is to address, exemplify, and promote the bare practitioner lifestyle of communal and social nakedness among the GLBTQ+ community and culture, regardless of any individual’s personal prejudices against the transgender and queer+ persons! (To the trumpster-dumpster: that insertion is directed towards you!).

Gay actor Francois Sagat, stretching!

Reality:

Professional actors, models, athletes, film stars (all types of film) have frequently appeared in front of a camera while clothes free (bare, naked, nude, etc.). They are therefore often labelled: “celebrity.” As a class or group they are identified as celebrities. They are also “notorious” (very well-known and easily identified). This often leads to notoriety (fame).

Thus, a “bare celebrity” = clothes free celebrity = “notorious bare” = notorious clothes free! In simple terms, a professional actor, athlete, model or film star (celebrity) famous (notorious) for being (appearing) bare (naked, nude)! In striving to remain neutral and nonjudgemental, we can insert “GLBTQ+” as an identification as it implies a community of persons and a culture.

Ron Derick Johnson, “Lust” tattoo under his neck and eros (love) tattoo on his abdomen!

My spouse, Aaron, and I both endorse the use of professional bare practitioners to visually illustrate and represent the post entries here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! As active advocates for nakedness, we are often searching frantically for images that enhance our textual intent. As sexual messages are not included in our purpose, we therefore do not publish material of that nature.

The majority of the actors of the SGL adult film industry (pornography) are bare practitioners themselves. They appear without clothing privately and professionally. Many of them are proponents of their right to be themselves free from any sense of guilt or shame. The problems they encounter from the studios that employ them stem from their assertion of being true to their nature and the conflicts with the management decisions that ignore that prerogative.

This series of post entries here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers will deal with our site’s practice of featuring actual adult performers within the same gender loving (bisexual and gay) community.

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, October 24, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “The Hauntings!”.

Beach Memories!

Bottoms-up! view!

Overview:

A brief and happy reminder of the visual delight and joy that the now rapidly evaporating Summer of 2025 (for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere) and a planning guide for our next summer season!

For those residing in the Southern Hemisphere, a brief view of the upcoming seasonal adventure along with some thoughts. Enhance your summer and enjoy your “natural” nakedness in the sand and surf!

A shoreline with incoming surf!
A bare embrace!

The above images of the Summer of 2025 were taken from the internet this very summer to illustrate the season of sun, surf and simple pleasure the beach brings to the majority of bare practitioners the world over! As a reminder that the concept of “summer fun” isn’t a recent phenomenon, other nostalgic pictures are offered below!

Many “fashionable” clothes-conscious people always seem to be completely baffled as to why there are those who enjoy and thrive in the act of skinny-dipping (swimming naked). It isn’t anything “new!” As a matter of fact, swimsuits didn’t actually appear until the reign of Queen Victoria in the 1800s! They gained popularity and became an aspect of “fashion” in the early 1900s. For centuries, humanity would engage in the sport of swimming in the same way they had for centuries – in their skin!

They may have segregated themselves by gender after various religions entered the picture but for the purpose of aquatic activity, covering wasn’t considered a necessity. Swimming was for fun and relaxation, not a showcase for fashion!

A couple of bare practitioners, early 1950s!
Sicilians, late 1800s!
Vulnerable feet!

Therefore, before we accuse, alienate and assign blame, we should remember a little of our history and remain calm. Accept what we are unable to change; after all, we are powerless to alter what has already happened.

Our bold spokesmodel, Phoenix Fellington, flaunts himself and the incoming surf!

Thoughts:

Those of us who are bare practitioner advocates and enthusiasts have often encountered situations where we were criticized for our memorable shoreline involvement. Too often we are confronted and judged by how we relate among ourselves and to how we react and recollect our “day at the beach!”

There exists within our broader society a common ideal that “patience is a virtue.” Similarly, tolerance is considered exemplary!

The same reminder is applicable to those who harshly degrade us because of our appreciation and preference for our nakedness! Their “flair for fashion” predilection is in no way superior to our status. All of us are equally entitled to our own expressions. If our choices aren’t identical and/or compatible, we should all respect one another and our differences and move forward together.

Our acceptance and recognition of what we share – the beach – is paramount. How we engage in it is relatively unimportant!

Tranquility!

Naked hugs!

August Play-Day, 2025!

Park entrance to “The Trails!”

Prologue:

August is here! The last full month of the summer of 2025! Honestly, it feels like it was only yesterday that I was busy making notes for postings of the rapidly approaching Pride Month (June, 2025)! In reality, not only are we beyond Pride Month, 2025; July has fallen past, too! Why do summers disappear so fast?

Play-Month:

Instead of referring to an “August Play-Day,” I should rename this post entry “August Play-Month!” As far back as I am able to remember, the month of August seemed synonymous as an entirely “fun” month, a totally “play-month” despite it also being the very final full month of summer. A season that has remained my favourite of the entire year. Those “jolly and joyous” days of summer!

A Trail to Hike:

The group of bare buttocks featured in the heading image (above) are in line to proceed on a hike along The Trail through a shaded and cool local public park. At this time, before beginning the hike, I should mention that this particular trail is special as it is completely “pesky insect free!” All mosquitoes, spiders and other bothersome insects (such as fleas, lyme, etc.) were evicted from this park site years ago!

Not a surprise, our trusted bare practitioner hike coordinator is none other than ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! very own unofficial “official” celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington (born: Tre` Leron Fenderson)! He has both the ability and the devotion to nakedness to orchestrate all of us “out” of our clothes whenever and wherever he so desires! One of the many reasons Phoenix has a leadership role of all of us is because the “leads by example” (clothes free)!

Footnote #1: As our hike coordinator, Phoenix determined this photograph to be the first one depicted. “In line” (one behind the other) he wanted everyone to have a full preview of exactly “who could see what” while hiking!

Now, I realize that yesterday was Bottoms-Up! July, 2025! publishing day, so if any of you failed to recognize our spokes-model’s buttocks above, he’s the third set of buttocks from the right!

Footnote #2: More on Phoenix’s buttocks is offered below!

Return from Play-Day hike! Phoenix is 4th from right!

Our August Play-Day, 2025! hiking crew returned to the park trail entrance once the entire course was accomplished. No one looked exhausted or overly fatigued in any manner. Our excursion event for our August Play-Day, 2025! celebration was indeed an overwhelming success for all and also 100% body and clothes free!

The halfway cul-de-sac along The Trail!

We made it to the halfway point with everyone accounted for and intact. Our bare practitioner celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, once again proved himself worthy of all of our trust in his leadership and true to his oft quoted philosophy:

“I love to be outside and naked with others!”

In the cul-de-sac photo (above) Phoenix is facing the photographer, second from the left! Halfway finished and still ahead!

Phoenix and His Buttock’s Poses!

The above .gif image depicts Phoenix modelling his buttocks while kneeling on a picnic table in the park. In an effort to avoid any additional confusion or mistake regarding Phoenix’s buttocks. This one shows him “in action” offering himself as a special “treat” to everyone surrounding the table! Excellent job, Phoenix Fellington!

Phoenix: same park, same picnic table!

Aaron, my spouse, located another “still” picture of Phoenix in now familiar neighbourhood! Obviously, he’s thrilled with the photo-shoot! Thanks for the picture, Aaron!

Naked hugs!

WNGD!

Indoor plant garden!

WORLD NAKED GARDENING DAY!

Saturday, 3 May, 2025

This is observed annually on the very first Saturday of the month of May. It was first celebrated in 2005 on 10 September and the following year on 9 September, 2006. After the second event, it was decided to change the date to the month of May. The first Saturday of the month was determined to be the best time for gardening.

Since the beginning, it has always been identified as World Naked Gardening Day – a simple and self-explanatory title. Now, it has evolved to International World Naked Gardening Day. Redundant? Yes! Necessary? No!

Aaron, my spouse, and I have hosted a WNGD “planting” for indoor houseplants in our condominium since we began living together. We didn’t hold them during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and resumed in 2023. Initially, we invited acquaintances and friends, and our small condo unit would be quite congested. Since the coronavirus concerns, we now only ask a few other bare practitioner couples to join us. Aaron serves as chef, and I take responsibility for cleaning afterwards.

Indoor gardening!

World Naked Gardening Day maintains a website and the link is:

Visit the site for additional information on World Naked Gardening Day. When I was composing this post entry, the site the last update as being 2017. The webpage does contain links to other naked gardening applications.

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

The Evolution of a Bare Gardener!

Based on the poem: “Seasonal Interchange” by Michael Aitkin, World Naked Gardening Day webpage.

In Winter, when the trees are bare,

We mortals don our winter wear.

In Spring, when trees begin to dress,

We mortals then start wearing less,

Until, for some, with Summer’s heat

The role reversal is complete.

Happy World Naked Gardening Day!

Naked hugs!

Bottoms-Up! April, 2025!

Phoenix Fellington, our spokes-model!

The month of April is always the very first full (complete) month of the Spring season! A perfect time for our very own Phoenix Fellington, official spokes-model for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! to not only remove his boxers but to put his buttocks on full display on a picnic table centered in an open park! Thank you, Phoenix!

April: permanent tan-line?

Our man here isn’t concerned with showing us his bottoms-up! pose with his facial expression as an added bonus. He does present a concern: why a tan-line so early in the season?

A dry towel!

Bottoms-up! after a shower is a time to pose and share your bottom region while drying off the remnants of the hygiene process!

A selfie view!

The urge hits so follow your gut and take the shot! You may be glad that you did! Some of our best images are unplanned and based on a sudden idea!

By the shore!

Although warmer weather isn’t widely available everywhere – yet – our man above is taking advantage of a partially cloudy day and baring himself along the shoreline!

A selfie pose!

He knows that he’s ready for the bottomless season to begin as he gathers evidence to prove it!

An extended weekend morning cuddling!

In bed together without a care in their world!

Spring Resolutions, 2025!

Phoenix Fellington, our “unofficial” official spokes-model, (left) offering advice to a co-star!

Background:

As a casual introduction to today’s post entry here on ReNude Pride, our featured host is our very own man, Phoenix Fellington, (pictured above, left) worldwide celebrated performer/director in the gay porn industry and the “official” unofficial (not financially compensated) spokes-model (representative) of this site! Not only is he proudly and publicly an advocate for our distinguished bare practitioner lifestyle – he personally demonstrates and vocalizes his confidence and support whenever possible!

A few reminder notes on our successful spokes-model. His birthname is TreLeron Fenderson and he was born on 18 October, 1994, in the city of Detroit, Michigan, USA. He is a former U.S. Marine now very active in the gay pornography industry.

He never tires of proclaiming to the media, “I love being naked outside!”

Directions for his co-starring actors!

Ever since he began his professional career as an honest and openly clothes free and same gender loving man, he’s always been demonstrative and inspirational for us all to “truly be ourselves, to be real!” He had no serious regrets serving in the military under the “DADT” (don’t ask, don’t tell) restrictive guidelines in effect. Like the majority of us, he’s full of gratitude to then-President Obama for his executive order terminating that unfortunate exclusion during his first term of office.

Phoenix Fellington, encouraging the bare and gay experience!

The two .gif images displayed here are Phoenix as he was beginning his professional experience after his military service. He wasted no time in extolling others to take pride in themselves as same gender loving and in their nakedness. If that was their destiny in life, then be the best that you can possibly be doing what makes you happy. It’s all part of life!

A confident inspiration for us all!

Thank you, Phoenix Fellington, both for your encouragement and for all your inspiration! You are an example for us all!

Creative exercise!
Routine maintenance!
Conclusion!

New Year’s Resolutions versus Spring Resolutions:

Self-improvement is one of the primary motivations for introducing changes into our lives. We all want to “feel better” about ourselves and we want to look better. The desire may very well be present, but our timing is probably not an encouraging factor. The arrival of the winter season, coupled with the bleakness of the weather for the next three months, seriously reduces the likelihood of success.

Our commitment and determination may be strong, but the reality of rolling over in bed for an extra hour of comfort, sleep, and warmth is the reality that often overcomes our resolve. Procrastination trumps positive productivity. Human nature is a trait our species battles on a daily basis. Why add another stress factor as a part of our routine?

A return to reality! The arrival of the Spring season and our renude (renewed) environment (nature) accompanied by our positive attitudes are much better and conducive for the success of any changes. Every step forward brings us closer to our final reward!

Affectionate kissing!






One of the major goals (purposes) for the creation of ReNude Pride (this site) in January 2017 was to provide a space that is receptive and welcoming for same-gender-loving (SGL) people (bisexual or gay) who prefer nakedness (clothes freedom). Our community and culture embrace the descriptive label bare practitioner. It avoids the terms/words that usually invoke bias and judgment. My spouse, Aaron, and I both believed bare practitioner was neutral in the minds of most people who were inclined to marginalize both our community and our culture.

Race Cooper!

“As a Black Canadian gay nudist man in the USA porn industry, I know and have witnessed bias, hatred and prejudice because of race and sexual orientation. It is unfair and unjust. It is wrong. As an actor/performer, I’ve never experienced “in my face” criticism for being and public nudist. But I know of fellow nudists who are judged because of their nakedness. Clothes freedom is a part of who we all are. Just like race a sexuality, we don’t have a choice.

In Canada, race, sexuality and nudity 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 ~ Joseph Ross Anderson ~ The Pink News London, UK June 2020

Interracial couple!

Aaron and I are an interracial married SGL couple. He’s African-Canadian and I’m Greek and we both believe that the above quote from Race Cooper may possibly ease any alienation and/or discomfort sensed by other interracial couples within our bare practitioner community and culture. Hopefully, this inclusion sets a welcoming message for everyone.

Posing Bare: Part 3!

Two together!

Up until this post entry here on ReNude Pride, our encouragement has been to continue posing alone. The purpose of this recommendation/suggestion was to gain and increase awareness of a) what an individual is able to accomplish in front of a camera lens and b) what poses (angles, locations, positions, etc.) look and work best for oneself, personally. It also increases our experience being the actual subject in a photograph.

Online time simultaneously!

Now, it is reasonable to assume we have someone special (close friend, bromantic interest, partner, etc.) that we trust explicitly and confide this project and our involvement and… our selfies! If there is perhaps an additional friend to include, that increases the chance for “fun” and success of this phase of the project. Remember the adage: “the more, the merrier?” Those words prove to be accurate and true!

My friends, Kalvin (left) and Darren (right)!
Myself and Kalvin posing!

My friends, Darren and Kalvin, join with me in posing while Aaron, my spouse, operates the camera. All of us posing and with a camera potentially leads to trouble! Selfie images remain appropriate, so a separate photographer isn’t an absolute essential but it is a beneficial option and resource. That person can either be the photographer or join in with all for posing! One thought of advice, keep the number of persons involved in the project manageable. Too many participating and the focus and purpose become obscured!

The increasing of at least one additional person affords us a larger range of considerations and ideas for activities to engage and a selection of poses. It presents an opportunity for us to interact and to react and to lose the “statue” effect that solo posing sometimes conveys.

An outdoor mixed message!

Advice: Inviting others to join with us in posing does present us with the need for a careful review of our pictures. Some poses may be misinterpreted as being more provocative or more suggestive than others. This caution advice is offered to eliminate a potentially embarrassing moment! Better safe now than sorry later!

The bottoms-up! poses, shown above and below, illustrate the advice caution offered in the previous paragraph. For some, the above picture implies or hints of a possible intimate (sexual) interaction whereas the image below this paragraph is of buttocks in a more casual and neutral pose depicting simply buttocks!

Buttocks: an urban view!

For many persons, professional models to amateurs who are adjusting to posing bare (such as we are doing here), posing one’s buttocks is less stressful than facing the camera lens directly. Buttocks are a common anatomical feature for both genders although they do vary from person to person. The majority of people are basically comfortable posing their buttocks rather than their personal genitalia.

Our spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington!

ReNude Pride’s very own celebrity unofficial official spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, shares with us an observation on posing bare. A reminder that Phoenix is not quoted here attempting to recruit future porn performers,he is offering insightful inspiration on the advantages of posing bare!

“Posing naked is an ideal way to strengthen your body self-image and to impress others with your confidence and poise.” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~ openly gay pornography actor ReNude Pride spokes-model

Hands joining them together!

The trio pictured here have no problems with being photographed with others of different ethnicities/races nor are they uncomfortable revealing their genitalia on camera. Even today, in the 21st century, there remain persons who have issues with those conditions. It is unfortunately more common than one would expect.

A person’s body language can and often does convey messages to viewers. In the trio, their hands join them together and all three have jovial smiles on their faces. The information shared may or may not be understood by the individuals posing. Many times, a person with a prejudice against another fails to recognize this aspect about themselves. Awareness of this trait in others helps us to prepare for any situation that may arise.

Anticipating potential concerns when inviting others to participate in posing projects enables us to have different options available as possible solutions.

Engrossed in reading!

The sibling duo above are too “busy” or engrossed in their reading. Their being naked becomes a secondary consideration for them both and to those looking at the picture. The primary thought for many is: “What is so important/interesting?” Again, the action shown (reading) detracts from the plainly visible nudity. An item as simple as a book attracts and captures the attention of others!

The more common, everyday and routine nude posing becomes, the less sensational it seems to be. It begins to lose the uniqueness many want to award it!

Author’s Notation: There may be a “Posing Bare: Part 4” supplement posting. I have a draft for the posting I just need more possible content.

Naked hugs!
