A Penny For My Thoughts!

“The penny is now removed as valid currency, but honesty and sincerity remain valid and vital to the foundation of the bare practitioner community and culture!”

If we’re unable to be our true selves, how can we expect others to be truthful with us?

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry is planned for tomorrow, Saturday, January 31, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Bottoms-Up! January, 2026!”

Annual Examination! One Look!

Background:

Visually, I captured your attention with either the title of this post entry or with the header (opening picture) posted above. Don’t worry, I have given this posting here on NeNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! much forethought and even have an alternate header identified and am sharing it with you below:

Perhaps it is the use of both header images combined with the title that piqued your curiosity? Truthfully, it doesn’t matter at this point because you’re here and you’re reading, therefore, mission accomplished! On second thought, maybe it is the reality that today is a Friday and you habitually visit here on Mondays and Fridays to explore the current posting.

Excuse the soon upcoming pun (word play)! The naked truth of this post entry is that you’re here, I’m composing and Aaron, my spouse, is selecting pictures to illustrate the message! Plus, another weekend is almost upon us!

Introduction:

The questions (implied and/or real) are endless! Why the annual examination? Is something seriously wrong? Why the flowers under the penis? Did that anatomical organ win an award? What’s happening here? Are Aaron and Roger PUI (publishing under the influence)?

The topic we’re addressing here today is: penis – the primary feature of the male anatomy! Hopefully, nothing is physically wrong. The annual examination was the chosen title because it seems as though this subject matter – penis – needs to be explored/featured every year!

Depending on an individual’s cultural and/or personal affiliation, the penis is an object/organ of either confidence/pride or one of guilt/shame. The reasoning for this discrepancy varies among all of us and is not relevant to the specific purpose of this subject at this time.

As to the floral arrangement and the penis? No! The did not win an award or recognition although there are millions of men among us – bisexual, heterosexual and same gender loving (SGL) exclusives – who honestly believe their penis deserves an award! The giving of flowers to the penis could be an expression of gratitude for a service given or a mission fulfilled. The options for the reason are as countless and as varied as the strands of pubic hair at the base of the penis!

Footnote #1: We can explore that topic in a separate post entry!

For today and this particular posting, our focus is on the penis and the relevance to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! As to the annual need to be repetitive on this matter, I accept my responsibility here. In retrospect, I could and should have been more detailed and thorough in presenting this topic and in the information shared. I apologize for my failure to do so!

Not wasting any valuable time, let us commence our examination of the penis!

The Penis:

By definition, it is “the male organ of copulation in higher vertebrates and usually of urinary excretion in mammals” and/or “any of various copulatory organs in males of lower animals.”

Footnote #2: Second College Edition, The American Heritage Dictionary, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Basically, the penis is the human male anatomical feature for reproduction (sexual gratification) and for urine elimination. Relief and satisfaction as well as gender identification! So much information contained between two legs!

It is a constructive, essential and functional part of our body. It enables us to be the what and the who we truly are! We should all be accepting and appreciative of our penis! As bare practitioners, we especially admire and desire the penis! It is an anatomical feature of confidence and pride – not one of embarrassment, guilt, humiliation and/or shame!

Depending on our personal body and clothes freedom status, the penis is either concealed or exposed!

We encourage and endorse all of us to both respect and support the human right of each person to determine their own clothing status and their compliance with the law. Each person makes their own choice for themselves. We don’t have to agree with their decision, but we recognize their freedom to determine.

Considerations:

In the attached .gif images, the now retired openly gay adult film industry actor, Francois Sagat, has made his choice, as a bare practitioner, to undertake his fitness routine within the comfort of his nakedness. While doing so, he encounters another man along a stretch of deserted beach who happens to be textile (clothed) – his choice the opposite of Francois.

At this point, Francois – completely nude with no covering available – now has an audience, as does his totally exposed penis: flaccid, free and visible! Another man – totally textile! Sleeveless shirt and shorts, appropriate beach-ware!

In the encounter, neither man reacts to the other. Francois doesn’t even attempt to conceal his penis using his hand and the clothed man just remains seated along the beach, observing Francois yet not reacting to his obvious nakedness.

Neither man visibly interacts with the other. No wave of the hand nor a nod of the head. Not a frown, not even a judgmental stare. Francois Sagat does give a single stretch to his penis while his back is facing his covered audience and that is the extent of interaction between the two men.

Of course, we have no means to know the mental imaginings of bare practitioner Sagat and his “modest” accomplice! As his concealed audience he could possibly be imagining stripping off his clothing and dynamically exploring the beach with the other! Francois could maybe be dreaming the exact same situation. Numerous options are available to ponder – including those that may involve both judgment and/or violence.

Conclusion:

The intent and purpose of this post entry here today is to afford and offer to all a brief introductory examination of the penis and the role it presents to both our bare practitioner community and culture and to the textile community and culture. Part of this introductory examination includes the value that mutual recognition, respect and support offer to all of us, despite our differences in our engagement of nakedness.

The currently retired and openly gay Canadian bare practitioner film star, Race Cooper (birth name: Joseph Ross Anderson – pictured above) actively worked as an actor in the USA gay adult porn industry from 2009 – 2014. Prior to working in front of the camara, he worked “behind-the-scenes” at the film studio producing those films. He offered the following quote on homophobia and racism in the USA gay porn studios in an interview with The Pink News, London, England, U.K. on 10 June 2020.

“Homophobia and racism in the USA is the reasoning for discrimination and prejudice. It is part of the legacy of slavery. In Canada, race 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 ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020

Pubic hair is relevant to the penis? Yes! But that is not the sole reason for including this quote here. Think of the context and message of this post entry! To paraphrase: We’re both SGL men. We both have a penis. I proclaim mine with my nakedness. You hide yours with your clothes. We’re both gay men, we’re just different in some ways.

I must admit that I am impressed with the company that I am allowed to associate. Francois Sagat, Race Cooper and all of you! I need to hire a public relations specialist!

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrity Role Model #5: Happy Birthday!

Sean Xavier born Kyle Overton!

Prologue:

Here on ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are publishing a series of post entries dealing with various aspects of bare celebrity role models. When we are composing an entry on the date of an actual birthday of an authentic bare practitioner whom we find impressive on the screen, why let the opportunity pass unnoticed? Such is the situation today for honouring the superlative Sean Xavier!

His career name (stage name) is Sean Xavier. In the extremely unlikely event that you don’t recognize him, we’ll continue with a casual introductory listing of his vital statistics in order for us all to celebrate his birthday (today)!

Sean Xavier Vital Statistics:

Birth Name: Kyle Overton

Birth Date: January 16, 1988

Birthplace: Victorville, California, USA

Height: 6’0″ (183 cm)

Weight: 169lbs. (77 kg)

Hair: Black

Eyes: Brown

Penis: Circumcised (cut) 10″ (flaccid/soft)

Body Hair: Armpit, chest, pubic

Sexuality: Exclusively gay

Sexual Position: Versatile

Preferred: Alpha (top)

A youthful Sean Xavier!

A Black man (African-American) in the same gender loving (SGL) adult film trade is nothing new. Sean/Kyle does have a distinguishing advantage over other actors: his prestigious manhood (penis). Even when flaccid (relaxed) it hangs in view for all to admire. His success in the gay adult film industry is in part attributed to his very prominent anatomy! His natural body hair (armpit, chest and pubic) add to his sensual physique!

A couple of personal notations here. My fantasies involving Sean began when I initially encountered the above picture of him proudly posing his nakedness and his very appealing underarm fur. That photo of him inaugurated my desire and fascination with the man! My spouse, Aaron, recalls his fantasy motivation with him beginning with the size and length of his very generous and noticeable penis!

Back then, he was known as Sean XL. Many of us simply assumed the “XL” designation was in reference to his male genitalia. Our man certainly fulfilled the criteria for that determination!

Sean/Kyle offers an exceptional confidence and pride in his nudity. Far too many bisexual and gay men have body shame in being without the latest fashion items concealing them. Our man? Not so! Nothing in the clothing line is best to feature than his very “natural endowment!”

Sean receives a birthday kiss!

Aaron and I, in publishing ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! acknowledge and appreciate the reality that the trait of nakedness is a priority over our same gender loving (SGL) agenda. Both attributes are equal in our lives as bare practitioners, yet the fact that the bisexual or gay components are what attract interest here initially. The SGL feature is enhanced, enriched and expanded by the naturist/nudist curiosity, examination, exploration and understanding.

Sean, our birthday celebrant, also recognizes this truth. People are comprehending the nakedness concept through acceptance of the bisexual or gay determination. Therefore, more emphasis is on body and clothes freedom nature. Our sexual orientation is an important factor yet the primary interest is the nudity.

Sean/Kyle, in his professional capacity – in front of a camera lens – makes no effort to conceal and/or detract from his bare status. If and when possible, he does employ the appearance of any type of garment as a subtle tool of “proclaiming” his being nude!

Sean Xavier on stage!

This initiative strengthens his commercial appeal among his audiences and serves as a prime example for others new to the SGL adult film careers! The bisexual/gay film movie executives finally recognized this ability of Sean’s work. It opened even more doors for professional expansion and resulted in his being viewed as more than just a “porn actor!”

Live on stage!

Sean Xavier did briefly “retire” from the SGL film industry in order to explore several opportunities for alternate work. His retirement lasted less than a year before his major “comeback” (return) was launched! The staged clips (above) were created for one of his theatrical roles.

“Body hair – a little or a lot – is part of being manly. Like our nipples, penis and testicles, it is a part of our anatomy that makes us what and who we are. Bisexual or gay, we know what is good for us!” `~ Sean Xavier ~ gay adult actor

The above picture of Sean/Kyle was taken early in his career. In a notation he added to an interview at the time, he publicly regretted that he had allowed a studio attendant to shave his chest hair. His honesty with the studio policies demonstrates a trait he has exemplified throughout his film performances.

Sean/Kyle: maschalagnia (hairy armpit confidence)!

He is very proud of his underarm fur – and I am, too! For those who are fairly new to ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!, I openly acknowledge my obsession with this masculine anatomical feature! To be completely truthful, I am always impressed with hirsuteness adorning a man – Sean/Kyle especially!

Serious hirsute pride!

His birthday happens in January but there is absolutely nothing cold about Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton! His fans worldwide agree with me on that observation. Even his serious facial expression is inviting and welcome! He obviously was taught to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you!” An important lesson that someone needs to teach the majority of all of our political leadership!

Now, we can all sit back, devour our slice of birthday cake and watch Sean celebrate being another year older!

Happy Birthday, Sean Xavier/KyleOverton!

Naked hugs!

Author’s Note #3: After all, we invaded your “special” day! Our gratitude to you, Sean Xavier/Kyle Overton!

Bare Friends, TAN, Part 2: Photo-Essay!

Bare Friends: Truth About Nakedness Photo-Essay!

Bare Friends: the most natural friend to have!

Bare Friends, TAN, Part 1!

Jay and Roger!

Full Title:

Bare Friends: Truth About Nakedness!

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 1 and 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!

Bottoms-Up! December, 2025!

It is almost time for our New, Nude Year to begin! Hello and welcome to 2026! Both the night and the year are still young! Beaux Banks, SGL film industry actor, uses his buttocks to send off 2025 and to say hello to 2026!

The weather outside is unpredictable, so we stay inside where it is cozy and warm and share our bottoms-up! with everyone!

Nakation (naked + vacation = nakation)!

The time of year to enjoy an escape from our routine!

A poolside bottoms-up! salute to all our bare practitioner community and culture residing in the Southern Hemisphere who are now welcoming their season of outdoor clothes freedom!

A furry final bottoms-up! farewell for all of 2025!

Naked hugs!

Bare By Air!

With wings, we can fly!

Landing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!

My spouse, Aaron, and I depart one week from today for our western Christmas holiday with his family in Toronto! We’ll be there for exactly one week then return home. Due to this winter excursion (and the possibility of weather interference), there will be only one post entry here for next week: Monday, December 22.

All bare and in the air!

And to eliminate any chance of confusion and/or misunderstanding, neither one of us are angelic!

These images are offered here today in the seasonal spirit of the approaching holiday! We are not “winged” but we do have flight reservations!

Naked hugs!

Bare Celebrity Role Models #4: Our Gift!

ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Bare Celebrity Role Model #4: Our Gift!

Phoenix Fellington: Extraordinary Spokes-model!

The double-header .gifs offered here demonstrate not only Phoenix/Tre’s abilities in rhythm but also his grace and bold comfort with his nakedness. For him, his body is his personal poetry – freely shared for all to admire and to appreciate!

Aaron, my spouse, and I are both impressed by these double .gif images of our remarkable and talented spokes-model. His natural skills prove his knowledge in making both a camera and a photographer work for his full advantage. Amazing talent, Phoenix!

The majority of frequent and regular visitors here – and long-time followers – are aware of this site’s relationship “unofficially” (unpaid) with our infamous and notorious advocate of nakedness, himself an openly gay man and SGL adult film industry super-star, Phoenix Fellington! For all those who are relatively new to this site, below is an offering of Phoenix’s basic statistics.

Birthname: TreLaron Fenderson

Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, USA

Birthdate: 18 October, 1994

Height: 5’8″ (173 cm)

Weight: 165 lbs. (75 kg)

Tattoos: yes

Body type: athletic

Body hair: natural (armpit, pubic)

Penis: circumcised (cut) 9.5″ (24 cm)

Sexuality: gay

Sexual position: versatile beta

“I love being nude outside!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~

Our celebrity spokes-model proclaims his preference for being openly body and clothes free where he has the luxury of being himself: nakedness and gay with no one in the way! A true bare practitioner! His quotation above offers a brief yet direct summary of his personal choice for nature while completely natural: a winning combination! In this regard, he does not fall short of his goal. In his bottoms-up! pose, he displays himself as a genuine “treat” on a picnic table in a public park! Enjoy being the man that you truly are, Phoenix!

An expansive and open public park isn’t the only outside location where he enjoys making his nakedness available. A beach scene: sand, sun and surf provide an excellent space for his naturist/nudist “fashion-less” modeling! Our body is a major part of ourselves and is with us everywhere! Why wear clothes and pretend that we don’t care?

Our ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! spokes-model also shares his professional advice and experience with other men seeking a variety of careers within the SGL film industry. In his voluntary role as a professional mentor, he strives to show them the caring, sensitive and upright capacity that they can offer to others like themselves. A firm believer in the “each one, teach one” strategy!

His same gender love (SGL) activism is of equal importance to his advocacy for self-determination of nudity. The private lives of actors within the gay film studios while not performing for a movie scene is their personal business and should not be judged by film industry executives and investors. Their right is to appear, bare or clothed, with whomever they desire. It is not an element of their studio contract. A personal relationship is of individual choice and preference.

The contracts for the SGL films are for each individual film, scene-by-scene, and not for a set length of time. Therefore, the studios and executives have no definitive authority over an actor’s acquaintances, friends or with whom they can or cannot be seen with, nude (especially) or textile.

If Aaron, my spouse. and I wanted to walk along the beach with Phoenix – all three of us in our glorious nakedness – it is strictly our prerogative and is no concern of any studio nor the “busy-body” executives!

No one has “ownership” over anyone in the pornography business. Each person determines their own bare practitioner companions. They are accountable to no one else for their decisions.

The same holds true for our private sexual partners. Our lives are our very own. We can be responsible for ourselves without the interference of others.

In addition to his volunteering as a professional mentor and/or role model for aspiring employees in the bisexual/gay porn industry, Phoenix/Tre also assumed an additional role for himself – as an educator!

“Why do I do gay porn? To teach people how to have sex. Responsibly and safely!” ~ Phoenix Fellington ~ ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! spokes-model ~

A very commendable and ideal intent and purpose! We all salute your good work and caring nature! Empowering, enabling, and ensuring that our bare practitioner community and culture remains competent, consistent and responsible for our place within the GLBTQ+ world!

Naked hugs!

Holiday Ornamentation!

It is that time of the year again – an occasion to decorate and shop, then decorate and shop again, then repeat the entire process over and over again until everything is covered in decorations and ornaments and there is nothing left to buy! Please remember that as bare practitioners, no one has any need for any type of garment!

Actually, some commercial establishments have been decorated for the winter holidays since September! I guess the motivation is to make the purchase now and avoid the massive demand as the holidays approach!

Aaron – we’re spouses – and I are not extravagant decorative artists! Honestly, the only holiday adornment we use in our home is the Nativity icon that I hang in our icon corner in our dining room. In fact, neither of our families have any exceptional winter holiday observance aside from church (his family is Roman Catholic, mine is Greek Orthodox) and our dinner experience.

Therefore, any “holiday spirit” that adorns our lives is shared here, ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! So please don’t expect any winter boxers or briefs to be featured here! We’re strictly bottoms-up!

In maintaining our current bare celebrity role models theme, we’re offering this holiday greetings message from a now defunct SGL adult film studio. The vintage theme is obvious. Any youthful faces recognized? Look carefully and closely!

At last, the serious decorating commences! The tradition of the tree is now published here for 2025! Let the party begin!

Now concluding with an official holiday sentiment accompanied by wrapped gift boxes! Of course, all the celebrities appearing in these festive images are confidently and proudly sporting their complete nakedness! Remember, it is the “season to be jolly!”

Naked hugs!

December Observances!

The abundance of both festive and solemn occasions during the month of December, annually, have caused some controversy within the communities impacted by the events. Some persons are actually offended that not everyone is familiar with their own December event or occasion – as if everyone knows them personally. Our current society is just “egocentric” and unable to understand the concept of “us” and/or “we!”

As indicated above, there are a multitude of events and happenings throughout the world this month. The variety reflects the distinctive and multicultural legacies that we all offer and share with our communities, cultures, friends and neighbours throughout our world.

However joyous we may feel this time of the year, we also need to remember that there are also many, indeed, too many who are suffering through no fault of their own. They are all around us, in our very own neighbourhoods and across oceans.

In both Gaza and The West Bank, The Sudan, the victims of hurricanes in Jamaica and the Caribbean; struggles, suffering and violence that daily affect many and provide no happiness nor joy to multitudes who are located everywhere.

For those of us who are experiencing the “good times” and festivities of the month of December, it also is important for us to especially remember and share with those who are in need. Their predicament is not of their choice or their control. Our responsibility is to share, even just a little, in order to give to them a hope and a reason for living through yet another day.

This concern and this helping of others enables us to extend ourselves and our festive spirit. It empowers us to offer kindness where it is needed most – in the lives of strangers in order for them to feel a part of our joy.

Sometimes, a single gesture, a simple good deed affords us more rewards than all the joy combined. The fact that we, as an individual – bare or textile – performed this act is the greatest reward imaginable!

Naked hugs!
