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!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, January 26, 2026, and the proposed topic is: “Combination!”

Author’s Note #2: With today’s anatomical theme (penis), it would be foolish to offer just one signature image!

Author’s Note #3: I can’t afford to offend any signature because of exclusion! Enjoy! Naked hugs!

Historic Questions!

Comparisons?

Does size matter?

For this post entry here today on ReNude Pride, that question is indeed historical as it refers to the “size” of a man’s penis. As this site – and probably the majority of readers – are same gender loving (SGL) men who are either bisexual or gay who are also body and clothes freedom oriented (bare practitioners) it is intended that the penis is the size in question. Thus, the heading shows Landon (Black man) and his friend obviously referring to one another’s manly anatomy!

They’re both pointing to their penis as the subject of their appearance together. Neither one of them are disappointed nor disturbed by their own or the other’s manhood. Their body language – through gestures and facial expressions convey their comfort and confidence with what they each offer to one another and to the camera.

Yes, Landon is an openly (public) gay pornography performer and this particular scene is from one of his films. Yes, it is evident to all that this scenario is sexually-oriented. That is the legitimate recognized purpose of the porn industry. Both men are at ease and relaxed about their nakedness.

Yes, SGL surpasses sexuality. What it is important to note here is that the essential question, Does size matter? extends beyond the theme of sex. Within the male population, the question is asked of all men, regardless of their individual sexual preference. The inquiry is indifferent to SGL or to heterosexual. An overwhelming majority of men, from both backgrounds, acknowledge asking themselves the identical question and wondering where they rank individually.

Curiosity comparison!

Exactly how long have men been curious about the size of their personal genitalia? Historically, we’ll probably never know for certain. However, human nature is an aspect that we all share. It is common to both genders and to all sexualities. Once a man is aware of his anatomy, the question soon follows. Once Adam and Eve were proverbially expelled from the Garden of Eden, the use of covering a person’s genitalia soon followed. When the “covering” practice was introduced, that is probably when the natural curiosity as to the ranking of one’s penis more than likely commenced.

Size Matters: Buttocks?

Dallas “Flash” Wade models his buttocks!

For centuries, if not longer, humans (both genders) have posed the question of size to the male penis. However, now that we are living in the 21st century, the bias and stigma that was forced upon men who preferred the “penetrated” (bottom) role in male-on-male sexual encounters is now rapidly disappearing. It is no longer considered degrading, effeminate, “sissy” or any less masculine to be in the “penetrated” or “receiver” role in strictly gay sexual encounters. The current trend is in versatility or performing in both alpha (top, penetrator) and beta (bottom, receiver) roles sexually.

This trending permits both partners flexibility and avoids the judgments being passed between men. With both men being versatile, they engage in both sexual positions and gain skills necessary to allow them to improve delivery and satisfaction. Multi-skilled and multi-talented!

Because of this sexual phenomenon, more men are now focusing attention on their own buttocks as well as those around them. Now, they’re questioning the size and prominence of their “rear ends.” Is it tight? Does it get the attention and desire of others? For many men, having a bouncy, bubbly pair of buttocks is the goal, and there are now fitness routines geared specifically toward developing and enhancing the masculine derrière! Want more notice? Get better fit! BUYA: “bubble-up-your-ass! There is even commercial padding to enrich one’s size! Just be aware that an intimate moment reveals the truth!

The passive or penetrated partner in male-on-male relationships was often conceived strictly as a pleasure toy subservient to their dominant or active (penetrator) partner. The term passive was derived for the recipient because all required from them was to simply lay on their stomach and to surrender their buttocks to their active (dominant) male partner. For centuries, in what is now known as same gender loving (SGL) male relationships, the person performing the passive role was considered lowly and a very degraded individual. They were consistently looked down upon by all.

Now that the 21st century has arrived, the prejudicial stereotypes that have plagued the SGL population are now dissipating from the routine. It is no longer absolutely necessary for us to encourage everyone to “come out of the closet.” The overwhelming majority of us were never in a situation when “closeting” (discretely being SGL) is even possible. Nor is hiding one’s sexuality from family and friends even practical. At the very least, most people now understand that SGL persons exist and no longer fear being what and who they are.

Reality!

One’s preferred position during sexual intimacy is no longer a criteria for judgment for or against a person. Versatility (being flexible) in sexual roles is now the popular trend, as well it should be. The individuals involved in an encounter should be the only one’s concerned with the outcome. Biased stereotypes have no role to play in our fulfillment and happiness!

Of course, the historical question being: does size matter? There is no perfect probable way to determine the answer to that question. The responses would more than likely equal the number of times the question was offered. It is relatively certain that the honest and simplest reply is that it all is contingent upon the preference of the engaged individuals. After all, as far as others are concerned, it is no one’s business except their own!

Naked hugs!
