To be sure, there are numerous pairs of buttocks that earn “pride.” However, at this moment, this is the only image I have of one resting on a park bench – publicly! Obviously, he’s very proud of his buttocks as he rests on a bench decorated in a rainbow flag (GLBTQ+) pride design!
Balanced bottoms-up!
Our muscled man (above) confidently balances his bottoms-up pose while carefully posing along a very comfortable sandy shore!
Beached!
“The line-up starts here!” as these friends embrace to share their pride together for posterity!
His buddies encourage his demonstrating his personal pride as well as his cooperative buttocks!
Encouraging him to bare with pride!
Exposing is his destiny!
Sunbathing preparation!
Our celebrity buddy Daymin Voss is very comfortable and relaxed presenting his bottoms-up! view for all to admire!
Enticing hygiene all over his rear!
Naked hugs!

“Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it is a good place to start.” ~ Jason Collins ~ first active NBA professional to publicly announce he’s same gender loving
DEDICATION:
This post entry is published in posthumous appreciation, gratitude and as a tribute to Jason Paul Collins (2 December 1978 – 12 May 2026). May he rest in peace for all eternity.
“The door Jason Collins widely opened can never be shut again!” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!
My thoughts:
Proverbial words of wisdom offered in a simple statement of fact by a man who had ability, skills and talent in his professional career. Essentially, a very basic truth: honesty is the best policy. The truth, especially about what and who we really are, may be criticized by others, but it can never be disproved. Honesty empowers and enables us.
I own who I am. I am same gender loving. I am gay. I am queer. I am a homosexual. I acknowledge and admit to being all of those labels. I know who I am. I know the truth.
My knowledge of the truth about myself empowers me to try to be the very best man that I can possibly hope to be. This knowledge also enables me to determine freedom and truth rather than restriction and dishonesty.
Jason Collins
The Late Jason Collins:
Jason Collins became the very first male professional basketball player to “come out” (announce) his sexual orientation while active in the National Basketball Association (NBA). His acknowledgement inspired a same gender loving (SGL) version of the NBA logo, shown below:
A colourful emblem that represents us being us! Not appreciated by everyone who’s a fan of the NBA but it definitely offers some “food for thought!”
Jason and his identical twin brother, Jarron, were born and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Jarron also played in the NBA.
His first professional team was Houston, Texas Rockets. He played throughout the USA including the New Jersey Nets, The Washington Wizards and his final season with the Brooklyn, New York Nets.
Prior to Jason’s coming out, he played in twelve (12) consecutive seasons in the NBA and impressed not only his fans but also his fellow professional athletes. Throughout his life he was dedicated to helping others in any way possible.
Jason came out as same gender loving on 29 April 2013 in Sports Illustrated magazine cover story. In May 2025, he married film producer Brunson Green.
On 11 September 2025, the NBA announced that Jason Collins was undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. On 11 December 2025, Jason revealed that he was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma. He died at home on 12 May 2026.
On 22 June 2026, it was announced that Jason would be posthumously awarded with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for his impact on GLBTQ+ visibility in professional sports at the 2026 ESPYS in July. The Arthur Ashe Award for Courage is given to a professional sportsperson who has made a difference beyond the field of play by fighting for what they value.
In announcing this honour, the NBA included that the award would be received by his twin brother, Jarron. Jarron’s confirmation added: “It is profoundly bittersweet but deeply meaningful to accept the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage on my brother’s behalf, celebrating a legacy of visibility, strength and love that will endure forever.”

“A very public 2026 Spring Resolution: to renew (renude) and restore spending time each day in order to return contemplation, peace and tranquility into my heart, mind and soul.” ~ Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos ~
I need to increase my diligence in adhering to my daily routine of making certain that before I retire for the evening, I have some time to pause, reflect and think. To make myself take the time to do what needs to be done. In my own way and what works best for my needs.
Naked hugs!

Our Bad:
I’ll meet up with you tomorrow, here, and I’ll be bare, as usual, so we can all share the “bottoms-up!”
“Body hair and nakedness are compatible and natural. They compliment one another; like a rose blooming on a bush of roses.” ~ Aaron Michael Peterson-Poladopoulos ~ 28 March 2022
We are both gay men. You may see body hair as a thorn on your rose bush. I see body hair as accentuating my masculinity. We’re both gay men, we just happen to be different. You be you and I’ll be me! We can still live together in harmony.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note #2: Thankfully, February is the last full month of winter! Soon, we can all run along the beach in the glory of our nakedness!
Nocturnal confusion causes his bottoms-up! pose to be angled and on the tips of his feet! The year 2026 did arrive without incident!
Our man above was in his kitchen to prepare breakfast when he realized today was bottoms-up! day! He promptly dropped his shorts in order to bare his buttocks!
Enforcing the “bottoms-up!” ruling!
Violating the policy of bare “bottoms-up!” only on the last day of every month has some very serious consequences!
Totally clothes free and bottoms-up!
Our man above understands the importance of kneeling for “bottoms-up!” adherence and uniformity!
Buttocks-to-buttocks line-up!
Our two pair of buttocks line-up in observance of the end of the first month of our new year!

“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?
