March forward! Progress! March, the month that encourages our replenishment of ourselves and our renude (renewed) progress as both an individual, as a community and as a culture! Bare practitioners resolute in our quest for recognition and respect!
March forward! Progress! March, here in the Northern Hemisphere, is our traditional “transitional” month! Important, memorable and necessary as this is the month that marks our transition (change) from the dreadfully depressing and dull days of winter into the joys of spring!
Pace yourselves!
Due to this ecstatic progress, “March forward!” is a proverbial useless command. Some march, some run, some stroll and some saunter and then there are those clueless ones who aimlessly wander along, set in their own pace. What is critical is that we’re all moving together – in both our nakedness and also in the same direction!
March f-o-r-w-a-r-d! Trust me, no one wants to awaken tomorrow morning moving closer to winter than spring. F-o-r-w-a-r-d! Progress!
Keep your eyes open!
During this month of transition, the routine of daylight savings time (DST) occurs annually. The final result unfortunately is not any reward of extra time but simply a “gift” of longer days of sunlight due to time adjustments.
March also delivers the official arrival of the season of springtime every year! This includes our excitement about the fading frigid temperatures outside and the renewed of warmer temperatures in our natural environment! This annual event is honoured in our outdoor world with the return of foliage to our forests and woodlands as springtime blooms and blossoms all around us.
Flexing his muscles!
Here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are encouraged to practice the custom and habit of Spring Resolutions with the arrival of the rejuvenating season instead of the barren and burdensome drudgery of new year’s resolutions!
The arrival of springtime is welcoming to change and conducive to progress. The new year arrival at the onset of the winter season is merely too depressing an atmosphere!
Bare swimmers!
Bonus Reward:
The month of March also brings those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere closer to eager arrival of the summer season and our fanciful practice of skinny dipping (swimming nude) in bodies of water offered in our natural world!
Ancient Greek warriors!
Triple Bonus Rewards!
March additionally offers the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Mother of God)! The day that heralded the uprising against the Turkish Ottoman Empire and led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece by uniting the crown, the church and the state!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, March 6, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “One Year Later!”
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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 23, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Ms. Unknown Discovery!”
We, as humans, (and I use that term very generally in these chaotic times) self-identify ourselves in a variety of manners/ways. One of the many reasons for this practice is to remind both others and ourselves as to what we are about – the essence as to what and who we truly are)! What is important to us? Why? Basically, is this me?
As bare practitioners (same gender loving – SGL – nakedness enthusiasts) there are numerous options available for the expression and revelation of ourselves. Among these are the ones we prefer that incorporate our clothes freedom opportunities (nakedness) such as body painting and/or tattooing. Body painting is washable, tattooing is more permanent or eternal.
Tattoo!
Tattoo #1: Pride
Our post entry header (above top) is Brazilian model/gay adult film industry actor/ and DJ Felipe Ferreira discretely posing with his throat tattoo: pride announcing his confidence in being both SGL (gay) and nude! The .gif image (directly above) is Felipe (now matured somewhat) specifically showing muscular development and the upper boundary of his pubic hairline.
Below, he models his commando (underwear freedom) preference in a selfie that publicly proves he indeed has a penis!
Felipe and groomed (shaved) pubic hair!
Footnote # 1: As Felipe has grown in his professional exposure, so has his comfort on revealing his genitalia!
Below, with fellow gay adult film industry actor, Rhyheim Shabazz, he is openly sharing both his nakedness and his sexuality!
Felipe (left) and Rhyheim (right)!
Footnote #2: Partnered with Felipe, our man Rhyheim never had his preference for nakedness nor his sexuality ever doubted or questioned. However, he was almost always never discrete over either trait!
Felipe and Rhyheim share a bed together!
Tattoo #2: Unashamed
Reign: Unashamed!
A former U.S. Navy volunteer and a recent newcomer to the SGL adult film industry, Reign proudly proclaims his bromantic (exclusive male sexual preference) and his nakedness by having the label unashamed tattooed just above his pubic hairline! His confidence in himself is readily available for all to understand whether he is posing nude or shirtless wearing a swim suit (below)!
Unashamed still visible!
Often criticized for his ornately tattooed chest and torso, Reign has no regrets nor suffers shame revealing his true self and his availability and his masculinity! He also proudly maintains his natural body hair (armpit and pubic).
Reign: sailor with underarm fur!
Reign served in the navy when then-President Obama officially ended the ban on SGL persons openly serving in the U.S. military.
Under contract with Raging Stallion Studios since 2020, Reign made no secret of his desire, preference and his willingness to perform in beta positions (bottom) roles on screen. He has trouble understanding why professional actors have issues with appearing in the “receiving” roles when filming scenes.
“I really enjoy being a bottom-man and I enjoy being versatile. To be truthful, I really enjoy sex and am happy have that as my job! Giving (alpha) or receiving (beta), it makes no difference to me!” ~ Reign ~ Raging Stallion Studios interview 2022
Reign: full exposure!
In the above image, Reign unveils his true confidence and pride! He is both appreciative and grateful for his penis and has no plans to adorn it with any ink (tattoo)! At least, not in the immediate future!
Tattoo #3: Bad Ass
The above tattoo probably needs no further explanation as to exactly what the owner is meaning. Looking closely, the anatomical region of the tattoo is obvious. But that does pose a question: Is the owner seeking a “bad ass” or is the tattoo a means of the owner proclaiming himself a “bad ass?”
Tattoo #4: Lust/Love
Ron Derrick Johnson and his tattoos!
Announcing to all his dedication to his personal as well as professional quest for both his same gender loving (SGL) and his clothes freedom status, openly bisexual Ron Derrick Johnson of the SGL adult film industry boldly has two tattoos inked on the front of his body: lust and eros (Greek: love). For Ron, “lust” is his search for both affection and attention. “Eros” is the name of the ancient Greek god of love and sexual desire.
Ron Derrick Johnson: nakedness!
Ron Derrick Johnson is indeed fortunate that his appearance, physique, and his tattoos compliment his message! No confusion or miscommunication concerns here! A man of international pleasure and repute, he has “eros” (love) written in Greek on his abdomen!
Tattoo #5: Faith
Kory Mitchell: frontal tattoos!
SGL film industry star, Kory Mitchell, also known early in his career as Kory Kong, is widely recognized as an advocate within the industry for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention and for his strong Christian faith. He has a cross inked on his front torso (just below his left nipple) to remind his fans of his faith.
Kory Mitchell: neck and shoulder tattoos!
As a reminder to his fans of his strong religious devotion, Kory has “blessed” mounted upon his shoulder. To emphasize his HIV+ status and his commitment to HIV/AIDS education and prevention, he has “hope” inked on his neck with a red awareness ribbon featured as the letter “o.” Excellent educational and inspirational tools!
Body Painting!
Body Painting
Body painting decorates our “natural” canvas – our bare skin! As bare practitioners, this option is one that many of us consider as a normal aspect of our existence within our community and culture! It is also used to visually deliver a message, usually one related to our nakedness!
In the above image, a City of London World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) participant proudly displays his adherence to the WNBR protocol as well as his identity as a bold and confident member of the GLBTQ+ community with his Progress Rainbow flag painted on his chest!
Above, his body painted message is plain and the meaning is obvious. All that needs to be done is comply and both will be content and happy! “Kiss Me! I’m Naked!” His service to bring joy into all the world!
Body painting their political messages across their chests and torsos are how these young men promote their causes they feel worth all their efforts. In their eyes and minds, their nakedness enhances the statements.
“I love you!” the American Sign Language manual signed communication!
The image above not only has the subject’s body painted in the colourful hands featuring that sentiment, but it also has his left hand creating the statement. In American Sign Language (ASL), signs are made using whichever hand the person is most comfortable, left or right.
Body painted wildlife!
Some body painting is both creative, imaginative and original in adorning the anatomy capturing the attention and the eyes of the observer!
Conclusive Summary:
The outline for this post entry here today was to present the bare celebrity role models and their infamous tattoos only. Those alone are sufficient evidence of the self-image of the inked performer, and the vitality of the concepts of SGL and nakedness have in their lives and in their livelihoods (profession).
Aaron, my spouse, conceived and developed the idea of adding the body painting segment. His justification being that the creativity in the art and messaging warranted their inclusion. Also, the colourful body paint offered a contrast to the monotony of the tattoo ink!
And finally, proof that we haven’t totally forgotten the occasion, all the best wishes for a happy and safe “heart day” to each of you! Enjoy the creation of the late gay artist, Keith Haring!
Happy St. Valentine’s Day, 2026!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 16, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “SGL + SNL = Soul!”
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 1and 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!

If you are a cohort, a fellow bare practitioner, if you have to wear clothes for church, family or other reasons, keep this thought, this truth: beneath all of our garments, we are all sharing in our nakedness!
If you are observing western Christmas, have a happy and safe holy day!
If you are observing Holy Christmas, (Armenian and Orthodox Churches), early wishes for a happy and safe holy day!
If your holiday is secular (non-religious) have a happy and safe holiday!
Naked hugs for all of your seasonal celebrations and for all of 2026!

Why SGL Adult Film Actors Illustrate ReNudePride: 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 seriespublication 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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, November 10, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Armistice Day/Remembrance Day!”
In the USA, today is the Halloween, a secular observance that is popularly interpreted as a day to dress – or undress – in a disguise and threaten others through a custom known as “trick or treat.” If neighbours provide you with a treat (candy), you leave them alone (trick freedom)! This date is symbolised by a carved pumpkin. The above grinning pumpkin-face needs no additional description to reveal his place on the human body! Happy Halloween!
The above hiker is comfortable and out for a serious trip down his convenient trail in order to absorb some of the October sunshine! Buenos dias, senor!
The above gentleman is replacing the light as part of his ceiling fan. A very appropriate home improvement project for this bare practitioner to engage in on this bottoms-up! occasion! Nice job, man!
Baseball is a sport favoured outside during the springtime and summertime. Autumn is the season when the playoffs between competing professional teams usually occur. Our man above is already prepared to throw his first pitch for the bottoms-up! championship!
Warming his buttocks in the brilliant autumn sunshine. I hope you remembered to wear your sunscreen, my friend! Otherwise, you’ll be standing for 30days until the next bottoms-up! happens!
The above trio is offering a “buttocks line-up” as their salute to this October bottoms-up! commemoration!
Using his very own mirror reflection to capture his buttocks by way of his tribute to our bottoms-up! gallery! Thanks, man!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, November 3, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Patience, Tolerance and Understanding!”
Here in the USA, the approaching time is the season of Halloween! It is the time of the year to celebrate the haunting horrors of the evils that cohabitate among us all. From witches, ghosts, goblins and all sorts of scary mysteries that somehow seem to infiltrate our imaginations. Though not an official holiday, the traditional date of 31 October, annually, is a time for scary spirits to soar once darkness descends upon us and frighten us into nightmares.
The horrific spirit in our heading has his body painted in an effort to conceal his bare practitioner identity and disguise his confident nakedness! His wooden club is his threat to beat his intended victims into submission or defeat – whichever fate he prefers.
However, he cannot disguise his same gender loving (SGL) status as he boldly reveals his maschalagnia (hairy armpit obsession) as he attempts to seduce his victim into compliance with his will!
Footnote #1: This collection of images is a classic that is featured here as an example of the Halloween craze that inspires many!
*************************
The Disguised!
With the mainstream society so obsessed with the preservation of modesty, many of our nakedness community and culture use this weakness as their means of ridicule of the “norms” of the majority! Imitating the textile (clothed) persons is one way of engaging the absurdity of the societal standards enacted against our community and our culture!
In all seriousness, the true reason for the Disguised mischievous “grin-om-his-chin?” His merriment in obnoxious absurdity of holding the textile fanatics in contempt of their useless theory of their mastery in modesty!
His secondary source of amusement is the reality that his skill is also readily available to anyone in possession of a jock-strap! This option is featured above with the bottoms-up! glorification of the economic triumph of a jock-strap over the expense of a top-hat!
Footnote #2: Using a top-hat to “disguise” (hide) his genitalia, our happy bare practitioner demonstrates for us all, the textile and the “natural” the ridiculous of the custom of covering and being unreal!
*************************
The Traditional!
The most recognizable symbol of the Halloween festivity is the pumpkin. In these images, the above bare practitioners are out with their “treat” bags soliciting treats from the houses in their neighbourhood. This custom is popular with the youth as they continue from door-to-door telling the homeowners that they are there to play a “trick” on them if they don’t provide them with a “treat!”
The pumpkin (above) is lounging in a group of hay with a shovel in order to frighten anyone approaching his residence by being “buried” in the hay if they try to intimidate him!
Footnote #3: For many persons, bare practitioner or otherwise, the festive Traditions are a favourite because they remind them of their youth!
*************************
The Commando-Freak!
The Commando costume is one SGL bare practitioner who prefers to conceal himself for Halloween in the commando style (absence of any type of underwear) while wearing pants – especially denim jeans! This scary creature then commits himself to exposure by bravely letting himself “hand loose” while freely absorbing the shocked reactions of his “proper” (clothes wearing) victims! Our Commando-Freak above has body-painted his penis in the rainbow colours of the GLBTQ+ movement!
The more sadistic of these “trickster” individuals occasionally force their prey to physically (manually) confirm their underwear freedom by caressing, exploring and/or fondling their “liberated” anatomy!
Footnote #4: Like it rough? These commando-committed “tough” guys will never allow their victims to forget the night they were made to endure such manual torture!
As honestly depicted in the above .gif image, the heartfelt dignity of the respective title: ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! is indeed of divine inspiration!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, October 27, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “October’s Bright Blue Weather!”
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!
