An online journal celebrating the joys of living bare with pride! This site usually publishes every Monday and Friday. I may be irreverent but I am no way irrelevant! My preferred personal pronouns are he, him, his.
What makes me laugh? Laughter is the best medicine. But it’s something we -including myself take for granted. I love to laugh. I love a good joke. I believe I have a dark sense of humor and nothing to me like stand up. Dice Clay, Chris Rock, Margaret Cho, Carol Burnett are some of my […]
Re-bloggers Note: I strongly encourage all of my readers to seriously consider to follow my “blogging brother and buddy” site here! The next scheduled post entry for my site is planned for Wednesday, May 31, 2013, and the proposed topic is: “Bottoms-Up! May, 2013!”
No matter what the time of year, a good snack appeals to most of us! And there is no better place to search for one than our refrigerator! A nutritious and tasty treat offers us energy to parade our bare buttocks all day long!
Lounging away!
During the “transition seasons,” the Autumn and the Spring, many of us find the need to lounge and to conserve energies for the major seasons, Summer and Winter. There’s nothing wrong with allowing our bottoms to prepare for being up!
Bottoms-Up! Natural lounging!
Those of us who live near the Equator have the distinct ability to chill and relax in the bottoms-up! tradition practically all year long!
Benefits of group tanning!
An advantage of unseasonably warm weather is the freedom to go outside and absorb the sunshine and the comfortable temperatures – all while working on tanning our skin!
Floral highlights!
The growth of flowers allows us to adorn and decorate ourselves in a festive manner while being completely bottoms-up!
Fitness!
Early in the season is a great time to use exercise to tone-up our appearance when we appear bottoms-up!
Naked hugs!

Heart of a Lion Mosy in bed Being a nomad in this no man’s land isn’t always death, despair and sorrow. It also has treasures, and magical life changing encounters. That’s exactly how I’d describe my encounter with Mosy. As it turned out, we were both most battered and wounded. We immediately became each other’s […]

Notation: I really was inspired by this posting by my fellow bare practitioner. blogging buddy and friend, Rohan, the Nubian-Ikigai! If not already, follow his site for future postings of insight and delight! Naked hugs!
April Fool’s Day, 2023, delayed due to author’s absent mindedness!
Take-A-Peek!
Nipple exposure!
This particular April Fool is exposing his nipple for all to see. Or, at least, hopefully can see. He’s “pumped” his muscles, but…
Nipple modesty?
Someone should remind him that simply undoing a few buttons doesn’t grant him automatic maximum exposure!
Fondling!
He’ll enjoy the fondling experience better if he removes his clothing entirely! A bare body is a terrible physique to waste! Happy belated April’s Fool!
Exposure!
Removing!
This man knows all-too-well that he’s got the torso to impress, however, he seems to forget that to impress we must be appealing!
Primed!
In order to convey his appeal, a smile works just as good as flexing his muscles!
Flexing!
In order to get the attention he feels he deserves, modelling his muscles is fine but without a smile, it is largely ignored!
Frustration!
With no admiring attention, acting like a primary school student isn’t the way to achieve his goal. A “dude-with-attitude” is no way to have his admirers!
Naked hugs!

Hopefully, a few laughs to welcome the first official weekend of the Spring, 2023, season! Best wishes to everyone for a very enjoyable, safe and pleasant weekend! Perhaps you can make undressing (removing) clothing into a game, too!
Stripping Game #1
Acquaintances sometimes ask my spouse, Aaron, and I what do you guys do when you’re at home and naked? Well, we do have certain games that we play together.
Stripping Game #2
One is a useful routine where we alternately become comfortable by stripping off our clothing and tossing the discarded garment to one another.
Stripping Game #3
It really is totally in fun and does make baring ourselves enjoyable and relaxing!
Stripping Game #4
A word of caution: removing the belt before tossing your pants is highly recommended!
Stripping Game #5
Of course, on occasions we have engaged in a race as to which one of us can “out-strip” the other!
Stripping Game #6
I’m certain that everyone can imagine a few other enlightened activities to attempt while striving to become completely free of the clothing dilemma!
An ideal finale to any clothes removal!
Get creative and enjoy your own bare competitions! Perhaps we can introduce a new category into the next summer Olympiad!
Naked hugs!

The first month of the new nude year is now upon us! Hopefully, the entire 2023 contains for you all that you desire and dream! Happy 2023 to all!
Bottoming up!
Baring our bottoms (buttocks) is the custom/tradition here at ReNude Pride on the very last day of every month. However, we all appreciate and recognize the joy of being completely bare and fully exposed each and everyday of the month!
Bottoms-up! laid up!
Not all of us have the luxury of outdoor freedom this time of the year, so we have to take full advantage of a bottoms-up! adventure whenever and wherever it is available!
Situational bottoms-up!
Whether during work or during play, bottoms-up! as a pleasure can be experienced no matter what day!
Sharing a kiss!
Have a wonderful 2023 and don’t forget to share your “bottoms-up!” with your family and friends!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 1, 2023, and the proposed topic is: “USA: Black History Month!”
My regular publishing schedule for ReNude Pride is Monday and Friday. Since my back-to-back publication here for “Bottoms-Up! End of December, 2022!” and “Nude New Year, 2023!” I decided to post entry this today, January 3, rather than yesterday.
Background:
January 3, 2009, the day that I first met Jay, who has become a fast and loyal friend of mine! Barack Obama had just been elected as “president-to-be” in November, 2008. This country was desperate for and seriously needed a change in direction, a change in leadership and the promise of hope – and a chance of a future!
On this date, Mr. Obama was just a few brief weeks away from officially assuming his presidency. Everywhere in the Washington, D.C. area, there was an atmosphere of excitement, of fulfillment and a sense of hope, joy and promise. Of kindness and respect. Of decency, honesty and renewal. Those “weapons of mass destruction” were proven false, nonexistent and evaporated into complete fabrication.
Truth!
Jay:
This was the tone of the atmosphere that existed the day we first met and began our friendship. At that time, there was a local bar (tavern) in downtown Washington, D.C., that on two Saturday afternoons every month (the first and the third) was rented to a local gay men’s social nudity club for “naked happy hour” from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. (also referred to as “naked cocktails”). There exists a very “seedy and sleazy” inference on the choice of “cocktail!” Great minds, descend into the gutter and get to work!
The crowd at the social nude event on that day was wall-to-wall. Before the first hour had passed the doors were locked and the only admittance was only if someone on the inside left. The District of Columbia Fire Marshall had posted an officer at the entrance to physically monitor the situation and the compliance.
Jay was already seated at a table for two, alone, when I saw him from across the lobby. There was an empty chair beside him. I headed in that direction through the mob. When we made eye-contact, I pointed to the chair with a questioning expression on my face. Jay smiled, pulled out the chair and patted the seat with his hands. I nodded, pointed to my right ear and shook my head in a negative manner, conveying to him that I am Deaf. He laughed and using his hands made the fingerspelling for “okay.” We had just given birth to a friendship!
We were both completely naked when we met. We had stripped out of our clothes in different restrooms when we arrived at the bar.
Good advice!
From Then Until Now:
From this date in 2009 onward, Jay and I have forged together a friendship that we both treasure and trust, even after he moved away from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. He witnessed first-hand the beginning of my live-in relationship with my spouse, Aaron, in 2010 and our marriage, five years later. I have watched the growth of his relationship with his partner, Raheem. Last year, he and Raheem were guest authors here on ReNude Pride on a post entry entitled “BRAT!”
Avatar for my friend, Rohan, The Nubian-Ikigai!
This past year, On September 8, 2022, I received a comment here from The Nubian-Ikigai regarding the posted announcement of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Canada, Jamaica and the Head of the Commonwealth. That comment led to email correspondence between Rohan, the Nubian-Ikigai and myself that continues today.
My friendship with Rohan resulted in an interview with him published this past November, 2022, and then with Rohan appearing as a guest author here on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2022! He is now publishing his own blog here and I invite all of you to join me in following his site:
“Should old acquaintance be forgot? Strip it off and show what you’ve got!”
May your new, nude year – 2023 – be filled with bare practitioner experiences and opportunities to share with family and friends! May all of your dreams become reality and all of your goals and hopes produce fruition! Best wishes to all! Take care and proudly stay bare!
Happy bare 2023!
Enjoy the festivities! Just remember, it will be another full year before the same can be experienced again!
Celebrating the arrival of 2023!
Naked hugs!

Our last month of 2022, and our last Bottoms-Up! feature for this entire year! A new series begins with the beginning of a new month and a new year tomorrow! Time for us to usher one farewell to buttocks and to prepare for another season of appreciation for our anatomy!
A farewell grin for 2022!
Buttocks out of the closet!
Full buttocks viewing is a great way to spend the time each day! We can accentuate our thrills in being completely clothes free and without any guilt and/or shame!
A new rear for an entirely new year!
As we all “kiss” 2022 farewell, we can utilize the same pair of lips to welcome us all to 2023!
Happy buttocks for all of 2023!
Bottoms-Up! can be admired and appreciated by all of us, whether inside facilities and homes or outside with only nature and other bare practitioners around us!
Bottoms-Up! Pyramid construction!
Naked hugs to all!

Hooray! The Autumn semester at my university officially ended today at 12:30 p.m.! Hallelujah! Winter break is in place and the next time that I return to campus will be in 2023! Thinking in advance, I did wisely decide to wait until after I had arrived back inside the condominium where Aaron and I live before I began stripping off my clothes. The last garment that I discarded was my boxers!
Body and clothes freedom until the end of my university’s Winter Break! It may be cold outside but we – my spouse, Aaron, and myself – keep our condominium comfortable and warm on the inside! There has to be some legitimate reason for us both to have to get dressed in clothes and go to work everyday!
Boxers removed!
We do have family and friends who are planning for visiting with us over the holiday season. They’re also bare practitioners so there’s no need for either one of us to even think about having to launder clothing anytime soon! Yet another benefit of living life clothes free!
Aaron and Roger snug on the couch!
Aaron and I live in a one-bedroom condominium. When we have guests stay overnight, we generally surrender our bedroom and we sleep either on the couch or on the floor (and sometimes both)! We’re together, that’s what matters!
Naked hugs!
