Comfortable Routine!

A cup of hot cocoa!

Introduction:

Probably all of us have some semblance of a routine that we follow daily, whether in the morning when we wake up or at the end of the day before we crawl back into bed. This routine can be varied and replaced when necessary, but it does provide us with a sense of familiarity, relaxation, and security. Basically, our very own “comfort zone” that helps us to survive the extraordinary circumstances of our everyday lives.

In the heading (image) above, Sean Xavier, our bare practitioner subject for this portion of today’s post, incorporates time into his awakening routine, regardless of the location or the season, for his cup of cocoa as he prepares to begin his daily business. He contemplates his schedule while enjoying the opportunity to reflect on necessities and priorities. A calm and peaceful launch of another day in his life!

Sean is also very thoughtful during his morning quality time. He uses this opportunity to respond to fans of his films, both online and through the postal service. Sometimes criticized for being too strict in insisting on retaining his body hair, he confesses to shaving himself when he was younger and first entered the SGL porn industry as a male model (bare) and then later as a film actor. He admits to lacking the experience, was intimidated by others and in awe of the film executives who ordered him to shave his chest hair.

Now, he is confident, experienced, mature, wiser and “proud of myself and all of my body hair – armpits, chest and pubic!” Once Sean was recognized as a gay porn icon, his contract with Lucas Entertainment was re-negotiated to allow him determination in retaining his chest hair.

A relaxing glass of wine!

In the image above, we are now joined on this portion of today’s post entry by Gio Dell, our celebrity escort, model and fellow bare practitioner. He hails from Venezuela, South America, and appears in more photographs without clothing than he does wearing garments. A true model from the very “core” of both our community and culture! One unique aspect of his model career is his reluctance to pose when one of the contract guidelines require the removal of his body hair. His head may be bald but his hirsute nakedness is a source of pride!

Gio has also appeared in more than a few SGL film scenes produced by independent and/or private studios. Evidently, the notoriety of an extremely publicly successful gay porn star doesn’t align with his pleasurable male escort service that also features his half-brother, Armani! His home office is in New York City and both he and Armani are willing to travel wherever they’re needed.

Both Gio and Armani openly acknowledge growing up in a household that accepted nudity as a lifestyle not in conflict with their Catholic faith. Gio, the older of the two, is more enthusiastic about being clothes free. Clothing optional beaches are always popular destinations for them both!

As he welcomes an end of a day in his life, Gio sips some wine and reads a book in order to calm himself before retiring for the night. He takes the time necessary to relax and focus away from his daily routine. This enables him to distance himself – emotionally, mentally and physically – from all and any challenges and/or conflicts he may have endured.

*************************

The Comfort Message:

Both of the bare practitioners pictured here today, Sean Xavier and Gio Dell, involve their nakedness into their tranquility strategy. They’re both comfortable bare; this inclusion allows them to eliminate distraction and to use this aspect to process the “change of direction” they are preparing to undergo. A “fresh start” to a new day or a “safe return” to home at the end. Sean and Gio recognize and understand the role comfort and familiarity have in building habit and normalcy into their existence.

As this new year of 2025 progresses, hopefully, the majority of us will return to the pattern of comfort and familiarity – routine – in our daily lives. This restoration encourages a sense of balance between both the known and the unknown. It enables our daily resumption of habit and of hope!

After all, if each day begins and ends by way of custom or habit, then what is in between – the spontaneous – approaches tolerable! It affords us the prime opportunity for a different and exciting new adventure every day!

Following our established pathways towards calm and comfort gives us “permission” to bridge our journey from the “spontaneous” into the routine. It offers each of us a loving and supportive “pat-on-the-back” for what we have accomplished and survived: a job well done!

Notation:

The purpose of this post entry is to reinforce the importance of relaxation and rest in our lives. Even though Sean presented the “start” of the day and Gio the “end,” there is no rule against performing them both on the same day, as often as needed. An extra step towards mental health, peace and success!

Naked hugs!

Maschalagnia!

Felipe Ferreira, gay model posing with his underarm fur!

Background:

Axilla (armpit or underarm) is the area of the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects to the shoulder. It also contains numerous sweat glands.

In humans, the formation of body odor happens primarily in the armpit. These odorant substances serve as pheromones, which play an important role relating to desire and to mating.

Hirsute axilla = hairy armpits, underarm fur.

Maschalagnia: A person who is physically and sexually attracted to armpit hair. Also known as hairy armpit obsession. Activities enjoyed with this fetish include licking and/or sniffing the underarms, kissing and/or sucking the fur and ejaculating on the partner’s armpits and/or chest area.

A+: Hirsute Axilla!

********************

Kory Mitchell: raised arm to share his armpit hair!

Introduction:

The above photograph depicts one of many, all-time favourite gay porn actors, Kory Mitchell. He earned my admiration early on when he publicly acknowledged – long before it became accepted – his personal attraction to men’s hairy armpits! Even while in my early adolescence, I felt instant affiliation and identification with him and no longer felt so alien! His honesty, discovered while secretly reading one of my oldest brother’s gay pornographic magazines, bestowed this early distinction upon Mr. Mitchell!

In his interview, Kory didn’t mention the descriptive term maschalagnia. He just referred to his attraction to another man’s hairy armpits!

Photo-Essay: Maschalagnia:

Kory Mitchell: half-face and armpit hair!

The above reasoning is how Kory Mitchell, a fellow maschalagnia, has the distinct honour of being featured here twice!

I think the name of my oldest brother’s hidden gay magazine was Inches. The article on Kory Mitchell contained endless photos of his penis, which was both enlarged and pierced. I don’t recollect any pictures – in that article – of his underarm fur.

All that I clearly remember about that presentation are the couple of sentences when Kory admitted to being sexually enthralled with men’s hairy armpits – surrounded by pictures of his own pierced erection! This was the first time I ever saw pictures of a pierced penis and learned of a famous porn-star in love with hirsute axilla!

Gio Dell, gay model, escort, model, actor and hirsute axilla!

Gio Dell, Venezuelan-born and gay, is a model, escort and actor. His head is balding and his body hair is profuse! He proudly flashes his underarm fur whenever possible!

By the time my identical twin brother, Alex, and I reached 14 years old, we both knew for certain of our same gender love. My fascination with male body hair in general and underarm hair in particular was not shared by Alex. He accepted armpit and pubic hair, he was and still is very fond of a very clean and smooth appearances elsewhere.

Notation: In answer to that question lingering in the back of your mind: Yes! Alex and his partner are both bare practitioners! our oldest brother is gay and does, upon occasion, accompany us to a social nudity function. He also readily admits to noticing a man’s hairy underarms, whenever available.

Gay model, escort and sometimes porn actor, Gio Dell, pictured above, is public about his sexuality and his comfort with his preference for his nakedness. He owns no confirmation of maschalagnia even though he acknowledges being the attraction of many bisexual and gay men because of their obsession with his very hairy body, especially his armpits!

I can’t remember giving any special attention to armpits when I was younger. Once puberty began, and my own underarms started to produce a furry growth, that became the catalyst that “opened the door” to my personal addiction, appreciation and attraction to hirsute axilla – the pet name among same gender loving men (bisexual or gay). This also created my interest in basketball that continues today. I currently play on a gay men’s team in an adult league (recreational).

Jason Collins, openly gay and the first openly gay man to play in the NBA. He played on the Brooklyn Nets!


I enjoy actually playing the sport of basketball even though I was never skilled or talented enough to be qualified as an athlete for the official school team. My problem? I was always too distracted by all the player’s underarm fur! I couldn’t concentrate on the game itself! Maschalagnia madness!

Twin – that’s how we address and refer to one another – recalls that my maschalagnia “affliction” seems to have happened overnight: “One night you went to bed, naked and normal. The next morning, you woke up dancing around the room, excited because you were growing pubic and underarm hair! You only calmed yourself when you noticed that the same was happening to me!”

My personal favorite maschalagnia logo!

I am able to still remember the first time I was in a position to fondle and kiss the hairy underarms of a peer. A day that I thought would never arrive! I was solely focused on his armpit fur whereas my peer partner concentrated only on my pubic hair and what else is available down there! That was the first Valentine’s Day I ever spent bare and in bed with another male who was not family!

It’s funny and ironic how Valentine’s Day can ignite a memory from more than two decades ago! A pleasant thought but a weird circumstance!

A subtle sniff!

A brief return to the subject of pheromones covered briefly in the Background section above. I’ve often wondered, I know that humans masturbate in order to relieve sexual tension and to provide self-stimulation. The question then follows: when we inhale the aroma of our own body’s pheromones, does that enable a similar self-gratification experience and urge? Is this “scent of desire” that our underarms create affect only our potential partners? Are we immune to our own scent?

Pheromones enhance the joys of sexual intimacy and are acknowledged to increase the level of passion experienced during foreplay and the actual physical encounter.

Fellow maschalagnia, gay actor and director, Sean Xavier!

Sean Xavier (pictured immediately above) was the second openly gay porn-star – following Kory Mitchell, to my knowledge, to publicly admit to his attraction to and his preference to maschalagnia (in his interview, he actually used the term and explained what it meant to the reporter). It was his interview that introduced me to the term itself. Prior to Sean’s educating me, I’d always simply shared that I had a “fetish” for men’s underarm fur!

Sean confesses to shaving his body hair when he was younger and first entered the business. At the time, he didn’t know any better and did whatever anyone told him to do. Now, he states, that he’s experienced, mature, wiser and proud of himself and all of my body hair!

Maschalagnia apparently is gaining in popularity based on a trend reported in the gay adult film industry. This may partially be caused by the increase in the number of Caucasian gay men who are shaving or otherwise removing their own armpit and pubic hairs. I’m an educator, not a marketing analyst. I have no knowledge or understanding as to how these two factors determine the conclusion.

Colin Black, hairy armpit advocate!

The late gay adult film actor, Colin Black, (pictured above) was a very prominent advocate for “hairy armpits rights” inside the gay adult film industry. Prior to his suicide on April 22, 2016, Colin publicly triumphed the cause of all adult film actors, same gender loving and opposite gender loving men, the grow and/or to groom their underarm fur according to their own personal preferences. His arguments were based on individual choice for freedom and happiness as opposed to contract clauses, mandated by industry executives that required contractors to remove/shave all armpit and chest hair and groom pubic hair. He advocated the same argument in support of nudity in private. In 2012, he received the Hookie Award (gay pornography honour) for Best Boyfriend Fantasy. Colin Black: an early bare practitioner hero!

“Nudity quickly becomes unremarkable when generally practiced.” ~ Colin Black ~

Before I read a death notice for Colin Black, I had never known that a “hairy armpits rights activist” ever existed. Colin, of mixed racial heritage (African-American, Native-American and Korean) was known for his concern for the civil rights of all. He publicly defended the “natural rights” causes of armpit and pubic hairs and of the rights to nakedness!

When once questioned why he strongly worked in favour of pubic and armpit body hair, he said, “because those are the only two places on my body where it grows. I’m smooth everywhere else!”

Daymin Voss, very hirsute body and underarm fur proud!

Obviously, bare practitioner actor Daymin Voss (pictured immediately above) doesn’t have the problem of the lack of his armpit and body hair! His profusion is well appreciated and known to appeal to many!

As long as men continue to grow their armpit hairs; I’m personally content, happy and a proud maschalagnia devotee and enthusiast!

Naked hugs!
