“` `Opa, Greece!

Greeks, natural and proud!

Today is the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary, Mother of God)! This is the date selected for the uprising against the Ottoman Empire that culminated with freedom for the Kingdom of Greece!

Bishop Germanos raised the flag of revolt over the Monasery of Agia (Saint) Lavra on Pelopannesa on this date, March 25, 1821.

Come and join us! Bare, of course!
Royal Guard (Ivzoni) raising the national flag!
Greece!
The flag’s symbolism!

`Opa= Greek expression for excitement, salutation, joy, surprise, greeting, and impressive!

One popular and eternal, longstanding myth is that the ancient Greek army fought battles while totally naked. Even though the culture was very accepting and embraced public nakedness and same gender affection, especially for men, the army always wore at the very least a loincloth.

Naked hugs!

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.

Photo-Essay: A Dream!

Skinny-dipping antics!

It isn’t just “wishful thinking!” It is more than simply a thought that repeats itself day after day, with no end in sight! It is a recurring dream that happens about this time of the year, every year! We’re tired of the dregs of winter – the barren wasteland of dirty snow, a desolate landscape and frigid air! The need for a change of scenery and outdoor air temperature is upon us. Then, it happens! A dream of happiness and hope enters into our sleep one night and reminds us all that dreams are real!

Let’s face the facts: St. Valentine’s Day has happened – it is now part of our past! The month of February is now more than half over, the month of March is now fast approaching and along with it – the first day of spring, 2025! The bleak season of winter is about to fade away forever. There is now happiness and hope on the horizon!

Race to the waves!

Of course, we all know that the seasonal transformation won’t occur overnight. We still have a few more weeks of winter to endure and then the transition from winter into spring slowly begins to happen. Yet, that dream has happened! The dream that reminds us all that reality is upon us and that a bright future is returning to us! Take a deep breath and relax!

First arrival, the biggest splash!

There are many characteristics of dreams that provide us all both benefits and resources in surviving and thriving over the final challenges of the winter. Our memories of the fun, the successes and the thrills of the past enable us to overcome any obstacles that present themselves.

Beach fun with friends!

As bare practitioners, we have the camaraderie and the fellowship of our community and our culture to enhance and reward our social expectations and to offer support in future endeavours. We are very accomplished in the dream-world category!

Removing!

One of the awesome and prominent features of the dream, at least in my version, is the adventure of stripping off/removal of the shorts or the swimsuit. The eliminating of this layer of covering is equal to the total freedom of clothing! Achieving our bare practitioner status is identical to engaging in that liberation with others!

“baring the buttocks!”

The actual “baring of the buttocks” – the moment of relief, release and satisfaction – is the amazing and inspiring climax of the dream for everyone. The fulfillment of our survival of winter itself!

Confusion!

Despite the uncertain times that we are now experiencing – especially the recent political changes with the maga-soiled diaper – full of excrement – now sitting in the Oval Office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – the dream will happen! It may not be ideal and it may not be perfect, but it will happen and that maga-odor that contaminates the White House will be eliminated! We just need to remember, this dream is real!

Fun and happiness for all!

The dream has happened! The sandy seed has been planted in the beach of our upcoming summer! Yes, there may be storms along the way as they are a part of nature. We survived the electoral holocaust of 2024 and we survived the winter of 2025. A few more weeks of winter isn’t everlasting! The dream will bring spring our way!

Naked hugs!

Cupidity!

An oral floral offering, from his mouth to yours!

CUPID + NUDITY = ST. VALENTINE’S DAY!

A more traditional image of Cupid!

LOVE

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!

The Bare Is Real!

Phoenix Fellington: Bare, beached and bold!

Phoenix Fellington, ReNude Pride’s Celebrity!

Prologue:

An ideal way to commemorate the start of the first full week of Black History Month, 2025, is with a post entry featuring the unofficial (unpaid) official (celebrity) spokes-model of ReNude Pride, Phoenix Fellington! The end of this first full week of Black History Month is on the actual date of the observance of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD), February 7. A week in tribute to our fellow bare practitioners of African descent! Who knows when an opportunity such as this aligns itself with perfection again? That’s the reason we’ll take full advantage of the situation!

A brief note on the header photograph of our site’s spokes-model (above). Our themes here on ReNude Pride are a) same gender love (SGL) and b) nakedness. Beyond any doubt, Phoenix meets and surpasses both themes without any explanation necessary! The reason his tongue is protruding? Aaron, my spouse, deemed it the “exact” image of Phoenix’s reaction upon learning, back in 2023, that he was now – unofficially – ReNude Pride’s official spokes-model! Indeed, there are some distinguishing honours that are just too fun and playful to ignore!

Phoenix poses bare and proud with fellow co-stars from Lucas films!

Background:

Aaron and I selected the widely popular gay porn star, Phoenix Fellington, as our site’s unofficial (not paid) official (chosen by us) spokes-model because of his successful celebrity status, his huge following within the same gender loving (SGL) population, and his fighting for rights against bias and prejudice against Black and gay porn-stars by Lucas Films and other studios in the gay porn industry. He’s also friendly, likeable and most importantly, he’d rather be without clothes as opposed to actually wearing them!

“I love being nude outside – all in the open!”

Phoenix Fellington, openly gay porn-star, ReNude Pride spokes-model

The announcing of Phoenix as celebrity spokes-model here raised some issues that were expected. He is an openly gay pornography performer who engages in sex in front of a camera – and he’s paid to do so! However, the policy here on ReNude Pride is that our nakedness is not about sex and none of the photos/images depicting him will reflect him doing so. Social nudity is shared nakedness. It is not an orgy!

We endorse and promote the bare practitioner experience and lifestyle. Our sexuality is supported but not us engaging in the sexual acts. Our openly featuring Phoenix as our spokes-model is based on his appreciation and attitude on being publicly SGL himself and his open preference for nakedness, either social or solo (alone). While we are not promoting his career choice, we are also not denying it. That’s Phoenix’s prerogative, not ours.

Phoenix providing directions to his fellow actors!

A former member of the US Marine Corps, Phoenix acknowledges the varying levels of acceptance, comfort and tolerance others have for him due to his nakedness, his race and his sexuality. As to his race and his same gender love, he knows that he’s unable to change who he truly is. As regarding his clothes freedom, if he absolutely must wear clothing, he complies.

Phoenix emphatic about being himself!

He is a firm advocate of his freedom and his right to be a public Black, gay nudist without any embarrassment, guilt or shame. He encourages all of us to be mindful of the diversity of levels of acceptance, comfort and tolerance; especially concerning or race, our sexuality and our nakedness.

Phoenix is very active in lobbying within the gay porn industry on the behalf of equality for all, regardless of their race, sexual orientation and their nakedness. For too often, the studios and their management executives looked upon the actors – the “gold mine” of the industry – as unworthy of their attention. They chose to ignore that these were the men who earned for them their money!

Recent photo of Phoenix!

The picture (above) is the most recent one we have featuring “our man!” Listed below are Phoenix’s outlined information:

Stage name: Phoenix Fellington

Birth name: Tre Leron Fenderson

Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, USA

Birthday: 18 October, 1994

Height: 5′ 8″ (173 cm)

Weight: 165 lbs. (75 kg)

Tattoos: Yes

Body hair: armpit, pubic

Sexuality: Gay (versatile beta)

Outspoken Spokes-Model:

Phoenix Fellington is known throughout the gay porn industry as an outspoken advocate and militant for the interests and the rights of both the performers (actors) and populations the industry thrives upon: same gender loving (SGL) men who prefer to engage in their nakedness. Basically, all of us who are bare practitioners.

Studio executives regularly entertain investors to socials where their actors are required to mingle and socialize naked with the moneyed guests. Phoenix has a reputation of attending these functions, proudly nude and stressing the importance of treating all the guests with integrity and respect, whether they are wearing clothes or not!

In conclusion of this featured tribute to our unofficial official celebrity spokes-model, Phoenix Fellington, he shares with us all his sensitive and unique purpose as for being a porn-star:

“Why do I do gay porn? To teach men how to have sex. Responsibly and safely!” Phoenix Fellington, openly gay pornographic actor, ReNude Pride spokes-model

USA: Black History Month, 2025!

USA: The month of February, annually!

Prologue:

The use of the Liberation Tricolour (above) is appropriate for this post entry here on ReNude Pride. Today, 1 February, marks the first day of Black History Month in the USA. I am legally married to a Black man, Aaron, who is African-Canadian. His heritage is with the Yoruba Tribe of west Africa. As my spouse, we are both co-administrators of this site.

We both reside here in the USA and have dual citizenships and passports: Aaron/Canada and myself/Greece. We both celebrate Black History Month not just during February but throughout the entire year. We cordially invite you to join with us!

Introduction: Black History Month, 2025

The USA’ s Black History Month represents the bold and brave official determination and recognition of a concept and ideal that historically evolved from the racial community and culture which it honours: African-American.

Carter G. Woodson, “Father of Black History Month, USA”

The founder of this occasion, Carter G. Woodson, was himself an inspired, insightful, and proud Black man. When first initiated, it was a new, provocative and radical concept. At that time, all of the entire continent of Africa, with the exception of Ethiopia and Liberia, was under colonial rule. The United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Italy controlled the land, the people and their destinies.

In the USA, Black people lived and worked under segregation (separateness), second-class citizenship and worse. There were no Black pride, Black lives matter nor Black civil rights movements. Discrimination and marginalization were in effect without recourse, nationwide, of the then 48 states by law. It was also practiced nationally (by social custom) until the very late 1950s.

African heritage!

Despite the practically universal global policy of being marginalized (set aside as inferior) and oppressed (dominated), the history of the Black people’s accomplishments and achievements in the USA exceeded and surpassed imaginations. From enslavement to triumphant, African-Americans have not only survived, they have thrived to become a remarkable example of glory, integrity and success.

Black History Month is a time of reflection and rejoicing due to the dreams, efforts and ideals of Carter G. Woodson, affectionately and respectfully known as the “Father of Black History.” Through his dedication and tireless promotion, the foundations (seeds) of history and knowledge were planted and nourished within the minds of old and young, poor and rich throughout the USA. Because of him, Black history is now synonymous with American history and the two are now united.

Carter Godwin Woodson, later in life!

Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson was an African-American author, historian, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASAALH). He was among the first scholars to to study the African diaspora, especially African-American experiences and history.

Carter Godwin Woodson

Born: December 19, 1875

Birthplace: New Canton, Virginia, USA

Died: April 3, 1950

Deathplace: Shaw neighbourhood, Washington, D.C., USA

Education: Harvard University, Berea College, University of Chicago

Organizations founded: Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASAALH)

Aware of pre-existing commemorations of Black history, organized locally by primarily Black churches and schools, Woodson created Negro History Week around traditional days of honouring the Black American past, the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick Douglass (February 14). He encouraged people to extend their focused study of African-American history, not to create a new tradition. Woodson believed that history was made by the people, not simply or primarily by great men.

“Sankofa” Adinkra symbol!

The Sankofa Adinkra symbol is an appropriate conclusion for this posting, “Black History Month, 2025!” We are indeed wise to learn from our past, as often as necessary, in order to face our future!

Naked hugs!

Bottoms-Up! January, 2025!

Skinny-dipping bottoms-up!

In the Southern Hemisphere, a dive into a pool provides many opportunities for viewing countless bare practitioners “south of the Equator” in the bottoms-up position!

Careless bottoms-up in bed: smoking!

It is January and we all know that it is cold outside on these winter mornings. However, there remains no reason to smoke a cigarette in bed! It is very unsafe! Bottoms-up gives you control but you must be alive to exercise it! Act responsible and safely!

Looking down for bottoms-up!

Bottoms-up! with your bountiful buttocks, senor! Look down and stare into our admiration and amazement! Gracias!

A winter’s nap bottoms-up!

The cold weather of January drains away our energy and our stamina. Our man above is recuperating with a winter’s nap and his coat lays beside him on the bed!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Friday, January 24, 2025, and the proposed topic is; “Posing Bare, Part 2!”

The Warm Calm!

Francois Sagat: Bare beach jogger!

Introduction:

For many of us, a frequently forgotten and overlooked benefit of the summer season is the actual “start” of our day. With comfortable outdoor temperatures, our awakening routine is fairly simple: get out of bed, stretch, and if we have to wear clothes, just slip into a pair of shorts. Eureka! We’re ready to go!

Unfortunately, winter is an entirely different season! After getting out of bed, the clothing process is much more involved. Not just the shorts, but also a shirt or two, underwear (regular or thermal), shoes and socks, warm pants and layers upon layers of of outerwear garments and accessories before we even take one step outside into frigid air temperatures! A major undertaking!

Today’s post entry here on ReNude Pride serves a total of three (3) purposes. First is a visual reminder for all of us that our bare practitioner buddies in the Southern Hemisphere are now officially into their summer season and the freedom that entails. Second is the gentle hint of what is now headed toward the rest of us who live in the “winterized” Northern Hemisphere. Third is a glimpse of what “happy days” (summer) delivers to bare practitioners globally!

Catching his breath!

Francois: fun and fitness!

Today’s scenario features our very own fellow bare practitioner, Algerian-French Francois Sagat, model and SGL adult film star, who has no compunction about appearing body and clothes free no matter what the occasion happens to be. He takes pride in both himself and his work and offers no apologies for being exactly what and who he truly is: both gay and naked!

Today, he is finishing an early morning jog alone and bare along the shore of a local beach. No clothing? No problem as he pauses from his healthy excursion when he happens upon a fellow beach enthusiast who feels the need to be somewhat modest while admiring Francois stretching his body! Perhaps he is contemplating a similar routine, minus his garments?

Sometimes, in our excessively fashion-conscious world, nudity needs to be inspired before it is explored. What better inspiration than enjoying nature naturally? As Francois demonstrates in these images, there is no shame in just being himself: free and natural! A true and valid representation of what is essential to all of us bare practitioners!

Surf and sunshine!

A subtle message?

In the above scenario, the celebrity bare practitioner, Francois Sagat, is depicted completing a bare jog along a beach, almost alone. There is one clothed individual sharing the sand, sun and surf with him. The textile (clothes-wearing) man observes and sits watching Sagat’s recovery from his physical endeavour as well as his obvious being bare. Incidental or intentional?

Among us bare practitioners, there are many who enthusiastically label the visuals as incidental. Francois was merely out for a jog on a relative isolated beach. He took advantage of the situation by exercising while clothes free. Expressing himself naturally in nature. Simply being who he really is when he encountered his textile (clothed) spectator sitting along the shore. An accidental and unplanned meeting.

Without any available resource to cover himself, he just finished his fitness routine as best he could: in his nakedness! He had no other alternative course of action. Poor planning? Most definitely! But then, the best way to learn a lesson is from our mistakes!

Then there are those who are less tolerant of public and/or social nudity. They may view the entire episode as a blatant ploy by Sagat in an attempt to seduce the unsuspecting spectator into the world of body and clothing freedom and beyond (a casual and consensual sexual encounter). Once Francois approaches the individual on the beach, he makes no effort to conceal or cover his being naked.

Instead, he merely flaunts his bareness directly in front of his “audience.” They substitute the surprise meeting with the label of exhibitionism, inferring that Francois using suggestive body language as an enticement to encourage his observer to join him!

Conclusion:

There are countless differences of opinion that the above scenario creates for those of us who are avid bare practitioners and those of a more conservative fashion sense and/or those with a strong opinion on same gender love (SGL). This post entry is to remind us all that there are always those persons who believe/think outside of our personal comfort level.

Post Script: The clothes wearing individual in the above scenario never takes his eyes off of bare practitioner, Francois Sagat. Evidently, he enjoyed not only the encounter but also the view!

Naked hugs!

“9!”

Blogging while bare!

ReNude Pride was initiated back in January, 2017! Nine years ago this week! At times, it seems like an eternity. At other times, similar to yesterday! However long and whatever the mood, the fact remains the same: 9 full years! Happy anniversary to us! Back “in the day” when I began publishing here, it was no more than a spontaneous decision on a snowy Saturday morning. Classes had not yet resumed at my university, Aaron, my spouse, was at work and I sat in front of my laptop screen: bored.

A toast to ReNude Pride!

Even though I was still angry and frustrated with wordpress (no capital letters deserved) for abruptly erasing my first blog here: A Guy Without Boxers; I returned to this site and began creating. Soon, my spirit returned and I temporarily set my anger aside and ReNude Pride was born. Gay and naked all over again; although on my university salary, why bother to try to afford another pair of boxers?

A Guy Without Boxers logo!

Pictured above is my logo (emblem) that I adopted for my original site here. It caught my attention for two very specific reasons. First, of all the underwear styles available for men, boxers had consistently been my personal favourite. Second, based on the title of my initial blog here. A little sharing of my publishing history here. Relax! There will be no examination offered at the conclusion of this posting!

I distinctly remember on that snowy Saturday morning my efforts at trying to resurrect my original blog title here for this creation. The “powers-that-be” denied my efforts. A determined competition followed and my poor mind’s creative juices began pulsating. “ReNude” was substituted for renewed and a new cycle of accomplishment followed. The pace was set and I began to develop a sense of “pride” in what I was attempting!

Lip-read: “Thank you!”

Nine years ago this month, ReNude Pride began. It has given to both Aaron and myself a number of very interesting experiences and some unique challenges. Hopefully, it has brought, at the very least, a few smiles upon your faces!

Before concluding here, please “lip-read” the English words “thank you” on the face above. Aaron and I are sincerely grateful to all of you for both your loyalty and support here! Best wishes and love along with our appreciation!

Naked hugs!
