“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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, May 8, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Mother’s Day!”
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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Wednesday, April 29, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “A Penny for My Thoughts!”
Analogy: if similar in some respects, then they must be similar in other respects.
The header photograph (above) probably needs no explanation as it is obvious that the two men are pointing to the penis on the other; therefore, they are referencing it. And as a notation, the Black man is a celebrity within the same gender loving (SGL) film industry (porn). His stage name (performance) name is Landon. We are unsure as to why they are discussing penis but on closer inspection they’re both almost identical in length and thickness, at least while flaccid (calm, relaxed).
The .gif images published below also feature Landon, today’s guest celebrity, this time sharing a sudsy bath with a different partner.
Landon and his partner’s buttocks!
Comparing all the visuals of Landon and his accomplices, perhaps they are sharing information on hygiene and/or what is known as “spring cleaning.”
The fact that Landon and his cohort appear to be clean, it is appropriate to speculate that cleaning is a similar trait in their personal routine. Given Landon’s professional status, hygiene is expected of him as part of his work preparedness.
Landon’s fascination with male anatomy!
A patronizing inference is not intended so we can safely assume the same applies to the level of cleanliness of Landon’s buddy/friend/lover/partner. Thus, the phrase “spring cleaning” in no way refers that they each bathe just once, annually, in the Spring!
Hence, the usage of “spring cleaning” may infer – hopefully – to the routine of maintaining a tidy, pristine and safe environment (body, living space, etc.) by both men, individually and/or jointly.
Footnote #1: No disrespect to Landon nor to his friend. Aaron, my spouse, and I both appreciate his DVD scenes as well as his personal appearance. Just a “spring speculation” on an uncertain phrase and what it really means!
Footnote #2: Since we’ve identified the analogy here, perhaps the time has arrived to rename the title of this posting. A suggestion of something more accurate and descriptive. Maybe: Bare Spring Cleaning? We are, after all, bare practitioners!
Naked hugs!

Retired bare celebrity Kory Mitchell and his armpit up close!
The above header image of Kory Mitchell is my personal preference as a commencement to every resource I compose on the subject of men’s hairy armpits. I remember reading in a men’s gay magazine that Kory discussed the attraction that many gay men had for the hairy armpit. In the article, there was a term that Kory used to identify this phenomenon – regrettably I could not remember the label.
As best as we can determine, Aaron, my spouse and I deem the appropriate and authorized title of this post entry to be:
Maschalagnia III Marvels!
Kory Mitchell, bare practitioner!
Why repeat the numerical designation and entitlement? There are several reasons, the predominant and primary justification being that my spouse, Aaron, and I are the authors of ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! and April is our birthday month! That fact alone should satisfy any need for a reason but there is more: I am Roger and I openly and proudly acknowledge my real and true status as maschalagnia maniac! Nothing further needs to be offered at this time!
Kory Mitchell: tattoos and underarm fur!
In one of the very first gay pornography magazines that Alex, my identical twin brother and I “borrowed” from our older gay brother, Kory Mitchell was featured and asked to describe his modelling of his hairy armpits. This “eye-opening” experience and introduction into this fetish trend suffices to justify Kory’s position here!
Kory’s neck and shoulder tattoos.
Kory Mitchell is now retired and has lived as HIV+ for almost 30 years. Yes, we have met through our shared involvement with the Red Cross national HIV/AIDS educational and prevention efforts. Kory has both his neck and shoulder tattooed to remind his fans of the necessity of HIV prevention strategies. His association with HIV prevention education and advocacy of the studio executive’s responsibility to provide services to those infected with HIV gave him international notoriety and recognition!
The same gay porn magazine that introduced twin and I to Kory Mitchell likewise brought our attention to men’s hairy armpits. That appreciation and knowledge has remained with me since! I recall that Kory confirmed his personal admiration for the visibility of the “manly trait” – his exact words – of underarm fur! Thank you, Kory Mitchell!
For me, Kory is the appreciated and beloved “father” of every man’s hairy armpit! I am grateful for his public acknowledging of the fact that there exist others like me: underarm fur enthusiasts!
Definitions:
When I first encountered the term maschalagnia I had no idea what it meant. My initial reaction was of some type of affliction that impacted our health and well-being. Little did I know that it was a most appropriate and fitting description of me!
Maschalagnia:(formal) is a sexual attraction to armpits, also known as armpit fetishism or axillism. It is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is focused on a specific non-genital body part, the armpit or underarm. The term originates from the ancient Greek combining maschala (armpit) and lagnaia (lust).
Someone with maschalagnia may find an armpit stimulating and this preference is recognized in sexology, psychology and psychiatry as part of the diversity of human sexual behaviour.
A brief casual definition of maschalagnia is a hairy armpit obsession. In humans the formation of body odor happens mostly in the armpit. These odorant substances serve as pheromones which play a role in sexual attraction and excitement.
Pheromones are chemical substances secreted by animals, including humans, to trigger (initiate) specific behavioural or physiological responses in others of the same species. These invisible messages play a crucial role in communication, reproduction, territory marking and social interaction.
Although controversial and still under scientific investigation, humans are known to undergo pheromone processing in sexual attraction as well as mother-infant bonding. There are also studies suggesting human pheromones influencing emotional states and cortisol levels (mood alteration).
Derived from the Greek words pherein (to carry) and hormon (to excite) pheromones act outside the body and influence the behaviour of others – unlike hormones which function inside the body.
Furry flexing!
Axilla: An armpit or an underarm. The area on the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects with the shoulder. It also contains numerous sweat glands.
Hirsute axilla: Profusely (very) hairy armpits/underarms. Used to refer to a person who is sexually attracted to armpit hair specifically.
Hairy armpit adoration!
Hirsute Inspiration:Ty Lattimore:
Ty Lattimore!
As Twin and I grew in our same gender love identity, we became friends with a local peer (two years older), Paul Turner, and he and I remain friends today. Paul already survived puberty and his underarm fur was obvious. He already self-identified as being gay and our friendship had a spectacular growth. Twin and I watched our very first “live” gay adult film with Paul – in VHS format that starred Ty Lattimore (above and below photos) and his hairy armpits! Ty became my VHS idol and Paul was “in the know” on all of Ty and his hirsuteness!
Ty Lattimore, the film star!
Paul was a very enthusiastic fan of Ty Lattimore he shared his appreciation of his star with me. Paul was close friends with a man who worked at an adult video store and had access to all sorts of films featuring “our” man, Ty! Paul introduced me to Ty who, in turn, aided and initiated my development into the maschalagnia maniac that I remain today!
A serious Ty Lattimore!
Ty Lattimore was a very popular gay porn actor who crossed racial audiences all over the world. Many heralded the fact that he was both African-American and very hairy, a trait not necessarily known to be typical. Unfortunately, my introduction to Ty Lattimore, courtesy of my friend Paul Turner, happened near the end of his career appearing live in the same gender loving film industry.
Sean Xavier: underarm majesty!
Sean Xavier:
Kory Mitchell is my “father” of hairy armpits, and Ty Lattimore inspired my admiration and appreciation for them; Sean Xavier laid the foundation for my obsession with them and to my maschalagnia itself! He fueled my interest in this anatomical delight and offered unlimited images of his own profusion of masculinity! Sean is not only an awesome role model for his displaying of his hirsute axilla, he is also a “hero” of every man’s right to defy grooming trends and to maintain his body hair in its “natural” abundance!
Sean Xavier actually introduced me to the term maschalagnia and explained what it meant. He publicly admitted to his preference of hairy armpits. I accepted the fact that I was now in the same league as an accomplished and noted celebrity!
Sean Xavier: body hair hero!
“Body hair – a little or a lot – is an aspect of the part of being manly. Like our nipples, penis and testicles, it is what makes us what and who we all are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” ~ Sean Xavier ~ Same gender loving adult film actor
My friend, Paul Turner, often shared a dream of beginning our own local maschalagnia club for others who were as committed to furry underarms as we were – and even today, still are! However, we never had the necessary energy to organize ourselves.
Sean Xavier: hirsute and proud!
Our Spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington:
Phoenix Fellington, our spokes-model!
Phoenix has very healthy growths of both his armpit and pubic hairs. A man committed to nakedness, he prefers his body completely “natural” and has no interest nor intention of grooming or altering his body hair in any way! In his opinion, to do so is very “un-natural!”
“Posing naked is an ideal way to strengthen your body self-image and to impress others with your confidence and your pride!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~
Phoenix: all natural!
As our official unofficial spokes-model here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, Phoenix has the distinct honour of introducing everyone to our site’s Maschalagnia III Marvels!
The late gay actor, Colin Black, actively opposed and campaigned against the porn industry’s arbitrarily mandating that actor’s must remove or shave their armpit and/or pubic hair. When questioned about this, he responded: “Why my opposition? Because these are the only two areas on my body where it grows. I’m naturally smooth everywhere else!”

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, April 20,2026, and the proposed topic is: “Natural Healing!”
Great and Holy Easter celebrates and commemorates the triumph of good over evil and of love over hate. The Resurrection is the promise of eternal life!
Background:
The Eastern Churches (Armenian, Chaldean, Coptic, Orthodox, etc.) follow the older calendar effective during the time of Jesus. The Western Churches follow a revised calendar thus the two different dates for most holy days.
Great Friday, 10 April, 2026:
The epitaphios procession through the churches.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church today is known as Great Friday, the Day of Sorrow. In the liturgical year, it commemorates the last day of Jesus alive here on earth and the sorrows he endured: the beating at the pillars of the Jerusalem Temple, the crowning of thorns, and having to carry his cross and then his crucifixion. When he expired, his body was placed in a tomb that belonged to St. Joseph of Arimathea.
Annually on this day, believers remember the agonies and pains that Jesus experienced. The shroud of the icon of the Crucifixion is placed in a tomb that is carried through the church in the epitaphios (tomb). As it is carried, the faithful chant the Lamentations hymns that recount the events of Great Friday. In the churches inside Greece, the epitaphios is bourne by active members of the military: army. navy or air corps.
After sunset on Friday evening, there is a candlelight service in churches where the icons have been covered in mourning. The Divine Liturgy is not sung again until midnight on Easter morning. The prayers offered reinforce the sadness and suffering of the occasion.
The Great Lent:
Anticipating the Glorious Resurrection, the six weeks before the arrival of the Holy Feast are spent in a period known as the Great Lent – a time of extreme fasting and sincere prayer. Growing up, my parents would direct the discussion topics to the importance of faith, prayer and service to all in our lives, our obligation to our church (Greek Orthodox) and to our family.
The fasting aspect of Great Lent involves abstinence from all meat, seafood, dairy products and eggs. The focus is on receiving nutrition naturally from nature’s resources. The fast is in effect during the entire season of the Great Lent.
The Great and Holy Easter!
The only offering of the Divine Liturgy (the principal prayer service in Holy Orthodox Churches) is always at Midnight on the Feast of Pascha (Easter). This allows for an entire day of celebration and feasting. The service begins outside the church (weather permitting) when the candles of the Resurrection are lit, and the priest leads the entire congregation to circle the church three times. While processing, the people sing the Resurrection hymns (Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!).
After the third encirclement, the procession then moves inside the church as the deacons uncover the holy icons, and believers light candles and offer prayers. The Resurrection hymns continue as the clergy, deacons, and servers line up for the offering of the Divine Liturgy.
The traditional Easter greetings!
Among all the popular treats for the Easter feasting, the most recognized is the egg which also represents the rebirth of the spring season. The hard-boiled egg is dyed red to recall the blood lost by Jesus during the crucifixion. The Lenten Fasting removed the availability of eggs from people’s diets but gave them notoriety as an Easter treat!
In the early hours of Easter morning, following the conclusion of the Resurrection Liturgy, the faithful exit the ecclesiastical sanctuary of the churches and encounter baskets and trays of traditional dyed Easter eggs ready to be consumed. The festive spirit of the holy day continues with all participating in the classical custom of greetings.
Holding the egg in the palm of the hand, one salutes another with the phrase, “Christos anesti!” (Christ is risen!). The other responds: “Alithos anesti!” (Indeed He is risen!). The two then collide their open-palmed eggs together with the victor emerging as the one with their egg-shell uncracked or intact. Multiple eggs are devoured in this manner and the Great fast of Lent is officially over!
Families – and sometimes multiple households – after the greetings and egg-breaking hurry home for an early morning Easter meal!
Tsoureki: Greek Sweet Easter Bread!
Tsoureki:
The widely and wildly delicious Easter delicacy that is a favourite of all – both the religious Greeks and those who are indifferent to faith. My spouse, Aaron, is the chef of our household and has my paternal yaya’s (grandmother’s) recipe for this special bread. He is the culinary commander and even though he never met any of my grandparents, he has spiritually inherited yaya’s ability, skill and talent in tsoureki baking. My siblings extol his exceptional perfection of her triumph! Aaron has even framed her handwritten recipe (in Greek) and it hangs in a place of honour in our kitchen!
Yaya’s tsoureki recipe generally takes approximately 18 – 19 hours to mix, prepare and to rise and over an hour to bake. After years of experience, Aaron has not been able to alter the process.
The tsoureki (in my family custom) is served with the main feasting that occurs in the late afternoon on Easter Sunday. One loaf usually serves about twenty-four (24) people and multiple loaves are served.
Kala pascha! Happy Easter!
Naked hugs!

Francois:
Francois is excited to have some of Aaron’s tsoureki again!
And he answered: “Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.
And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy, you find in them a harness and a chain.
Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your rainment?
For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is the wind.
Some of you say,
“It is the north wind who has woven the clothes to wear.”
But shame was his loom,
and the softening of the sinews was his thread.
And when his work was done he laughed in the forest.
Forget not that modesty is for a shield
against the eye of the unclean.
And when the unclean shall be no more
what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?
And forget not that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran, 1913, author, philosopher, poet and visual artist!
In this poetic offering, Kahlil Gibran, shares with us his express appreciation of being bare (clothes free, naked, nude) and his distaste for the concealment of the human body with clothing. The “father” of bare practitioners!
He was born on 6 January 1883 in Bsharri, Lebanon, within what was then part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. He emigrated to the United States with his mother and two sisters. He died in New York City on 10 April 1931, at the age of 48 years old.
In On Clothes he unashamedly extols his admiration and devotion to both the concept and practice of being completely bare, nakedness and natural at a time when the very idea of clothes freedom (nudity) was rarely discussed, shared or written about in “polite” – proper – society. We all, as today’s bare practitioners, owe to Kahlil Gibran an enormous debt of gratitude for enlightening our world to the magic and the majesty of being nude alone or socially with others. Without the beauty of his praise, this world would indeed be a very bland and drab world to reside upon!
Self portrait of Kahlil Gibran by Kahlil Gibran!
Gibran’s early death, due to severe liver infection brought on by his heavy consumption of alcohol, denied him the chance to witness the emergence of the same gender loving (SGL: bisexual or gay) culture that surfaced following World War II (1939 – 1945). Since his demise, there has been significant speculation about his own sexual preference. He had a very close woman supporter while living in New York City. However, their relationship was strictly platonic.
Aaron, my spouse and I both feel that the appeal and the fascination of nakedness is universally represented through the efforts and the works of Kahlil Gibran. His Middle East heritage instilled him with the desire and respect for clothes freedom that he brought with him when he emigrated to the United States. On Clothes has become an inspiring verse for clothes off!
We believe that the arrival of springtime brings the anticipation of being totally natural (bare) while enjoying nature. Gibran’s On Clothes reinforces those sentiments while reminding all of us of the awesome beauty of nakedness together!

Our Bad:
I’ll meet up with you tomorrow, here, and I’ll be bare, as usual, so we can all share the “bottoms-up!”
As a professional educator, today’s post entry here does indeed come with several distinct goals and/or outcomes. The primary one being the dignified, intentional removal (stripping) of all unnecessary and unwanted garments. These despicable and useless items conceal and/or cover our magnificent and majestic nakedness.
As dedicated and devoted bare practitioners, we all require periodic reminders of exactly how to discard (strip) these pathetic items of deceit and public humiliation!
All of us possess our own particular preferred style of removal of these hindering garments. Our secondary purpose is to review the essential basics of this process/procedure in order to ensure compliance with the accepted standards. As a convenient resource, the simple steps to follow are offered in the chart below. Please print and copy in order to review whenever you feel the need.
Follow the steps and remember to clean up all discarded clothing!
The .gif visuals are offered as an additional support resource for your information. The incorporation here is to inspire each and everyone of you to develop your own particular manner and style of stripping (discarding, removing) clothing. Your creativity in managing the various aspects of this assignment will enhance and enrich your achieving satisfaction and success and accomplish your goal of completion!
Montgomery:
Attention! We’ll now join ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! bare celebrity Master of Strippers, Montgomery, as he demonstrates for us “How to Remove Your Cumbersome Clothing!” As always, he proves his expertise in this matter!
Body and clothes freedom complete, Montgomery is now relaxed and satisfied to once again celebrate his return to the world of bare practitioners! He prides himself on his talent is sharing his abilities with those eager and willing to improve their own stripping knowledge!
A busy day complete, numerous garments disposed our Montgomery, Master of Strippers resumes his singular place of honour on his Throne of Nakedness!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Phoenix:
Our very own official unofficial spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, decides to renew his stripping routine for all to observe and practice! He starts by carefully revealing his “commando” (no underwear) preference.
For our spokes-model, his body and clothes freedom is very serious business!
Awareness of his needs and the needs of others is why he uses direct eye-contact to ensure that others remain “in the know!”
Phoenix adds rhythm to his stripping process to improve attentiveness as well as his personal appeal.
Now he pauses and allows others to show him what they have learned from his example and his skills!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Francois:
Francois Sagat is now officially retired from his career in performing in the gay adult film industry but still enjoys being in front of a camera lens! Here, he’s just finished a fitness routine at his local gymnasium.
After a long day and a thorough workout, he’s anxious to return to his “natural” state!
He’s very familiar with the advantages a mirror provides as he asses his physical condition after exercising!
The comfort his casual nakedness gives to him enables his advocating the same practice by others who question his resources!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Internship:
Among the advantages and benefits of operating a curriculum that educates others on the importance of and the proficiency of stripping is the meeting and mentoring of newer young people seeking the skills.
The internship program is casual and permits those interested to model their practice and invite comments on what is observed.
One fact that is amazing about working with the young people is the popularity of the commando style within that age grouping!
The internship prepares candidates for stripping instruction and allows their creativity and diligence to increase their experience and opportunities!
No boxers = no underwear = nakedness!
Each bare practitioner develops their personal routines in stripping off their clothing. What works best for one person potentially could cause confusion for another. Aaron and I encourage everyone to practice in order to determine what works for them while keeping them comfortable and relaxed when removing garments in the company of others.
Naked hugs!

Elizabeth Jennings Graham was born Elizabeth Jennings in New York City in March 1827 (date unknown). She was destined to become a teacher, an early civil rights activist and organist at her church. By 1854, she was a teacher at the private African Free School.
By the 1850s, the horse-drawn streetcar on rails was a common transportation option in New York City. They were operated by private companies and their access was often barred by race.
On Sunday, 16 July 1854, Elizabeth Jennings was going to work as organist for the First Coloured Congregational Church. She boarded a streetcar of the Third Avenue Railroad Company. The conductor ordered her off. She refused and the conductor and a police officer ejected her off the streetcar. She was injured and her clothes were soiled and torn.
The incident was reported by Frederick Douglass in his newspaper and resulted in an organized movement by Black New York City residents to end racial discrimination on streetcars.
Her father filed a lawsuit against the Third Avenue Railroad Company and the conductor in Brooklyn, where the company office was located. She was represented by the law firm of Culver, Parker and Arthur. Her case was argued by the firm’s 24 year-old junior partner, Chester A. Arthur, a future president of the USA. He filed the suit in 1854 and in 1855, the court ruled in her favour.
The judge, William Rockwell, determined “Coloured persons if sober, well-behaved and free from disease, had the same rights as others and could neither be excluded by any rules of the company, nor by force nor violence.” The jury awarded Jennings damages in the amount of $250 (roughly equivalent to approximately $8,400 currently). The very next day, the Third Avenue Railroad Company ordered all of their streetcars desegregated.
A century before Rosa Parks gained fame in refusing to move to the back of the bus, Elizabeth Jennings Graham attained justice in fighting for her rights on transportation. What happened in Brooklyn, New York City, occurred before the US Civil War ended the practice of slavery in the USA!
Nice job, Elizabeth Jennings Graham!

For decades, the myth has persisted that Black people never engaged in nor enjoyed nakedness and same-gender attraction until they were taught by White people. This supposedly didn’t happen until after the Stonewall Inn Riots (SIR) occurred in June 1969. Up until then, an intended derogatory word – queer – was often used to describe us. After SIR, we “stepped-up” and proudly “owned” (acknowledged) the word. Now, we’re queer and we’re still here!
Together!
An historical vintage gallery of being both bare and queer – ourselves – before the SIR even happened!
The hairstyles of those in the pictures featured here are indicative of the period of the late 1940s through the early 1960s. The fact that these photographs survived prove that long before the Stonewall riots, the Black community had knowledge of and persons who preferred same gender love and their nakedness.
These images dispel the mistaken beliefs that African Americans were unaware of bisexual and gay natures among men and the popular myth that they were oblivious towards nudity. Communal nakedness while in the shower were unavoidable but social nudity was a conscious choice and frequently happened.
Long before the SIR brought the struggle for equality and freedom to our communities, we did have times when we enjoyed our sexual freedom and our body and clothes freedom. Our people were not as insulated and as isolated as many would have us to believe.
Relaxing together, bare and no guilt about who they really are! The images published here are vital visual parts of our story! Not only as African Americans, but also as bare practitioners – same gender loving and naturists/nudists!
Happy Black History Month, 2026!
Naked hugs!
