The announced and planned post entry for this past Monday, 18 August, 2025, never occurred and my spouse, Aaron, and I both share the blame for that mishap! We’re just too much in love and we’ll only have one 10th anniversary. A very “last minute” (spontaneous) decision on our part for an extended anniversary celebration: a bromantic (he and me) extended weekend away from our routine to a Florida clothing optional resort that we’ve never visited before.
Our weekend ended yesterday: Thursday, 21August. I did mention an “extended” weekend, correct? We added four days and a renewal of ourselves!
Together!
This impulsive adventure was totally unplanned. We had discussed an excursion of this nature in the past but never actually realized that it didn’t really require that much attention to detail. After all, we’re usually “clothing optional” around our condominium/home anyway. So we had minimal need for any “official” wardrobe. Just the two of us being our natural selves.
Passion!
We do apologize to anyone if our spontaneity created any inconvenience for you. It was unintentional although irresponsible from the both of us. Please know that we both regret the error and can assure all of you that we’ll do our best to avoid any similarity in the future.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry for this site is planned for Monday, August 25, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “August Antics!”
The scheduled publishing of this series is adjusted this month due to the USA’s Memorial Day holiday and the commencement of Pride Month, 2025, on Sunday, 1 June. I need a little time to prepare and compose! It is my treat to myself in order to have as many minutes to enjoy my summer holiday from my classroom!
The header posting is a recognition of the reality that not all of our bare practitioner brethren reside in the Nothern Hemisphere where the outside world is conducive to natural nakedness at this time! Our brethren living in the Southern Hemisphere have a season to complete before their air temperatures moderate.

Typical Saturday morning relaxation from a very busy week at work. We can glimpse his “tanline” pattern on his exposed buttocks! He has the entire season ahead to erase this evidence!
An internal pose to offer viewers!

I honestly and sincerely acknowledge that until Aaron, my spouse, entered into my life back at the end of May, 2010, the entire St. Valentine’s Day production and performance never rated special attention from me. While growing up, my mother (a woman with one husband and eight sons) received all of our attention on this day. She deserved it!
“I love you!” manually in American Sign Language (ASL)!
Our man (above) is manually (by hand) making the American Sign Language (ASL) sign for the words: “I love you!” A very appropriate message to convey on St. Valentine’s Day. He’s also decorated his chest by body-painting the ASL manual sign on himself – emphasis on communication of the sentiment! In conversing using any signed language, it is important to remember to keep eye-to-eye contact with the person you are addressing and the signs are made with the palms facing the person you are communicating.
Heart = Valentine!
The above man has both of his hands creating the shape – a sign – for heart. An almost internationally recognized sign for Valentine – indicating the occasion (today): St. Valentine’s Day! There is no internationally understood manual (signed) language, although there are some signs identical in multiple languages.
This is the first time I have placed a priority on Deaf communication techniques on this site. It does make me feel good to put significance on an often overlooked communication method!
St. Valentine’s Day delivery!
This heart-shaped box of sweet candy really requires no explanation for purpose or for date awarded! That much is obvious to us all! Happy St. Valentine’s Day everyone!
A bromantic kiss to celebrate!
An action that is always appropriate in honour of St. Valentine’s Day! Race Cooper (left), who will be featured here again next week, gives his man a passionate reward!
Interracial bromance!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, February 17, 2025, and the proposed topic is: “Photo-Essay: A Dream!”
While researching and composing this post entry, I encountered this word: exogamy. To my knowledge, I have never I have seen it before, not have I ever fingerspelled it manually. The definition is: exogamy: marrying outside the family, tribe, clan, culture or other social unit.
A Week of Love:
Exogamy essentially describes and/or identifies my marriage. Aaron, my spouse, is Black, I am White (race). He is Canadian, I am Greek (nationality). He is hearing, I am Deaf (differing ability). He is Roman Catholic, I am Greek Orthodox (religion).
On a positive notation, we are both very much proud bare practitioners. Also, we are both very much in love with one another. Sometimes, love works best when there’s at least one shared aspect! We both are dedicated to the sharing of our nakedness! Hence, the existence of both our marriage and this site, ReNude Pride.
This year, Valentine’s Day is middle-of-the week, a Wednesday. This inspired me to create this post entry in honour of A Week of Love. After all, since my spouse and I are both exogamists (finally, I utilized my new vocabulary discovery)! We can take the entire week to commemorate our new classification label!
Very much love!
Despite all the abuse, hatred, killing and violence happening all too often in our world, we can take advantage of this Week of Love to remind ourselves and others that bromance (love between two men) exists! Therefore, all hope is not lost forever! Please join with us as we celebrate love!
Regardless of our exogamy status, Aaron and I share our love together. We both hope and wish the same for all of you!
“Love” can mean many things to different people. It is an ambiguous word that encompasses familial love (loce between members of the same family); it also includes bromantic love or intimate love (love that involves physical contact: groping/touching, kissing and/or sexual union) and platonic love (strong affection and caring between friends). We also need to keep in mind that there are varying degrees (levels) of love within each distinct category. It is usually very different and very unique in almost every situation.
Loving together!
With all the variations of love available, A Week of Love offers the majority of us an opportunity to share some aspect of kindness and/or love with at least one other person. We have the entire week to do this simple task. It can include just giving a smile to the person standing beside you on the subway platform or a kiss-on-the-cheek to an elderly aunt. The little acts of kindness that we share can range from the picking up of a soft toy a child may have inadvertently dropped to the help we give an elderly neighbor in scraping the ice/snow off his automobiles rear window. The effort and gesture are our deserved reward.
Chances are, more than likely, you’ll feel better about yourself! As a special gift, someone else will feel good bout you, too!
Rendering a love tap!
The image above exemplifies three distinct classification of love. The first one is familial love (as in egocentric or self-focused). Both men are comfortable being bare with one another. The second is platonic love (love between friends). It is obvious that as friends, they share affection and respect for each other. The third exemplification is bromantic or intimate love. The proximity of their nakedness together is very suggestive of this happening in the either the pre-intercourse or the post-intercourse moment.
Please enjoy your very own Week of Love!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Wednesday, February 14, 2024, and the proposed topic is: “Valentine’s Day!”
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!

Spring is appreciated and recognized as the season of love. April, as the first full month of Spring, is often thought as the “beginning of love!”
April is a time for love!
Bromance: a combination of brother (masculine) and romance (a love affair, attachment, enthusiasm). Bromance are the feelings of affection and desire between two men.
“Bromance: the undisputed tingling sensation of every hair and nerve of your body whenever your man touches you!” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~ March 21, 2022
A rollicking bromance!
Regardless of whether the bromantic (brother + romantic) couple is playful or serious, the duo is obviously comfortable with both themselves – as individuals – and with themselves – as a compatible couple – together.
“Body hair and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ March 28, 2022
Comfortable and happy together!
Please relax, we’re simply naked together. Besides, we’re both bare practitioners and we’re in love!
“Bare practitioners find comfort, identity and recognition through nudity. Clothes are the epitome of a costume: a foreign object that creates confusion and deception.” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~
Bromatic adoration!
It is a totally natural impression! Two bare practitioners being themselves – as honest as April itself! Bromance thrives among us!
“Two men together and in love. Ain’t it bromantic?” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ March 28, 2022
ReNude Pride is the scene, bromance is the team.
All up and down the coast, bare practitioners all boast;
April is the reason that love is now in season!
Once again, grateful appreciation to Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos, my spouse, for his assistance in creating today’s posting
Take care and stay bare!
Roger and Aaron Peterson-Poladopoulos
Author’s Note: The next post entry planned for here is on Monday, April 8, 2022, and the proposed topic is: “Revival!”
First, a very gentle reminder of the meanings of a few of the terms used in the title. “Summer” refers to a season of the year and shouldn’t need any additional explanation. “Skinny-dipping” is nothing more than swimming without a swimsuit or completely bare. “Bromance” is used as a colloquial combination for “love” (bro = brother = male; romance = love). The purpose of this posting entry is to offer insight on same gender love between two men.
