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!

Aaron & Roger!

Together!

Tomorrow, August 15, we celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary!

The year was 2015. Marriage equality had finally arrived in the USA one year earlier. Both of our sets of parents had been advocating and conniving for an official and legal marriage ever since the previous summer. Neither one of us could withstand the pressure any longer.

We became as one!

Strategic kiss!

And we still remain that way today!

Anniversary cake!

We’ve sent anniversary treat to each one of you! Enjoy!

Anniversary embrace!

We have reservations to enjoy our anniversary week at a lakeside clothing optional resort within our home Commonwealth of Virginia!

Naked hugs!

August Play-Day!

Tossing off the briefs!
August Play-Day time!

August Play-Day is conveniently always clothes free! It is almost impossible to justify the wearing of a swim suit, let alone an athletic uniform during one of the warmest – if not the hottest – months of the year. Besides, it is a play-day – a day dedicated to fun for everyone – no clothes allowed!

A pool pose!
An aquatic decision!
August: time to skinny-dip!
August Play-Day: discard your clothing!

There is a reason that August Play-Day is celebrated. For one, it is about freedom. Freedom from having to suffer in the heat and humidity wearing clothing, one of the last things needed. The water, whether a pool or a natural body (lake, river, ocean) is very inviting and an overwhelming majority of us find it impossible to resist the joys and thrills of a skinny-dip (swimming naked) to alleviate the soaring temperatures and to relax around others doing likewise. Social nudity encourages communal skinny-dipping as many of us savor time together in a fun and healthy manner. A good time to be had by all!

Many race for the chance to skinny-dip!

There are numerous peoples who deny giving social nudity any thought throughout the year but with the arrival of summer, the month of August, the higher temperatures and any hinderance to abandoning clothing is suddenly itself abandoned. A carefree race through the surf along a beach assumes an entirely rewarding attraction as opposed to walking along, burdened by garments that only hinder whatever natural breeze is stirring! Inhibitions are cast away when the environment – both natural and social – encourage us to enjoy less stressful situations!

Good times for all!

Our nakedness encourages social interaction which also supports the concept of having “fun” together with others. The lack of any type of covering reinforces the ideal of living naturally – without the necessity of any garment or artificial item that transmits the hint of guilt or shame about our body. Too many of us are required to wear clothing for our professional lives. The practice of sharing our bareness with our acquaintances and friends affords a significant number of us to feel liberated from the restrictions imposed by a society that isn’t noted for endorsing individuality. The ability to be ourselves – totally natural – is one of the major attractions of social nudity.

Towel removal

Participating in nudity, alone or with others, isn’t limited to just outdoor situations. The changes in our weather that happen throughout the year force many of us to adapt ourselves to flexibility in our environment for different activities. Having to relocate our socially naked experiences provides us all with the skills needed to adjust to experiences beyond our control. It also affords us the opportunities to enjoy the various challenges interactive communal nudity offers!
