Shaved Pubes

There's no denying that the model featured above is all about everything, including being remarkably handsome and erotically cute. However, in the same vein as last week's entry here, the sexy guy shaves his pubic hairs. 

Here he is, all hotness personified with a hairless genital region. With his muscular build and exceptional physique, I would think he would want some body hair to enhance that fine, thick penis he's got. 

To me, it accentuates his masculinity and increases his desirability factor. However, that's just me sharing my own personal opinion.

Hirsuteness

I don't believe that I've posted this here before today but I really prefer men who do not shave or groom their body hair. I've always been attracted to men who are natural and let their body hair follow its normal progress. I personally find shaved pubic hairs, armpit hairs and chest hairs just too juvenile and looking too artificial. Like the man's physical development stopped just one day before adolescence began. 

I have a moderately hairy chest and average armpit and pubic hairs. I've never shaved or trimmed any hair below my neck. For one thing, I was way too proud of every follicle of hair as it grew on my body when I was a teenager, no way would I ever think about removing any of it!

I know that it is currently fashionable and trendy for me to appear as smooth and hairless as possible. This is a matter of individual choice and preference. I can even accept and respect their decision to do whatever is necessary to follow the current style. It just isn't very appealing to me. 

I happen to be a proud gay man. When another man is being intimate with me, I happen to like him to look like a man, and that includes having body hair in all the places he's supposed to have hair. I'm a man who has sex with other men, not a pre-adolescent boy!

Losing The Towel and Being Naked...

As 2016 begins to fade away, one of the things that come to mind when I think about this year are the number of brothas that I met who always admired the fact that I'm naked but who were so insecure with their own nudity. Too many Black men have negative body images of themselves. They allow this issue to prevent them from even trying out social nudity. 

I know the psychology of us being the products of our upbringing and how what we are taught growing up often influences us later in life. I understand that if a dude learns that it's wrong, dirty or sinful to let others see them naked, then they're more than likely to "fear" being nude, especially socially nude, when in the company of others. 

What I've done is adopted this logo above as my own personal "mantra" or chant. Actually, it's probably becoming my personal philosophy. I decided about a month ago to make this one of my goals for the New Year, 2017. Maybe a week ago, around the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought, Why wait?

I've instead begun using this logo as my motto for what's left of this year and, at least, for all of 2017. I've already added it to this blog, Black, Gay, Nude and Proud!, in case any of you have noticed. I've printed a wallet-sized copy of this and have laminated it to carry around with me. I'm shopping for some decent card-stock paper that is compatible with my printer so that I can distribute them when I meet guys who are just too ashamed to try social nudity. 

Sometimes, the idea of change needs to be nurtured. If I offer men that I meet a subtle reminder that it is okay to be naked, either in private or in public, then maybe the concept will begin to germinate in their minds and they can eventually learn to overcome their fear of nakedness and appreciate the joys of nudity.

All it really takes is to "lose" that towel, just let it fall off your body, one time. When that happens, maybe then they'll come to realize that lightening didn't strike them dead, the earth didn't fall out of the sun's orbit and that when the towel was discarded, life itself didn't end.

A new life, a life of nude pride, just replaced the old life of guilt and shame!  

Author's Note: Just so all of y'all know, that's not me in the photo above! LOL! 

Come On And Get Naked With Me

 

There are some gay men who have the looks to always get exactly what they want, whenever they want it. It seems nature just blessed them with that natural charm along with their irresistible handsome features that, literally, will charm your clothes right off of your body.

I know this because when I first came out of the closet as a gay man, during my senior year in high school, I met such a man. And I dated him. And he "bedded" me (in other words, we were sexually active together). He was hella-hot in the looks department, had an award-winning smile, was built with a body "to-die" for any had a deep voice that would calm a hurricane. 

He was the man who took my virginity (penetrated my ass with his penis). For that, I am eternally grateful as he was the gentle, patient and very understanding. He opened my eyes and my desires into the many splendid joys of man-on-man sex. I know that I will remember him forever. 

He was also the first man that I ever knew who died of complications due to HIV infection. He knew that he had AIDS and taught me the life-saving importance of sex always with a condom. He made me promise him that I would always make sure that I had a condom available whenever I was intimate with another man. To this day, I have kept my promise to him. 

This man also introduced me into the wonderful and dynamic world of gay social nudity. He took me to nudist gatherings where I was amazed at the sheer number and beauty of all the men, out, proud and naked! We frequently visited a nearby nude beach together and he showed me the "gay section" of the beach and introduced me to all of his friends. For initiating me into the life of gay, male nudism, I am eternally appreciative. 

Today is his farewell-to-earth day. He died at noon on this exact day, 2005. I miss him still. I hope he knows that I'll never forget him.

A Powerful Message

This past week, the vice-president-elect and very homophobic former governor of Ohio attended an evening Broadway performance to the current hit show, Hamilton: The Musical. The cast of the show is very diverse and consists of a large number of racial, ethnic and sexual minorities. All of whom have been widely disparaged by the incoming administration. 

At the conclusion of that particular evening's performance, the entire cast gathered onstage following the curtain-call. This was the message delivered by the staff to the vice-president-elect:

I know that I am not alone in being extremely disappointed and disillusioned over the results of the recent election. This vote, I believe, does not bode well for this country and especially for the Black people who live here. 

However, I am impressed with the strong and conciliatory message the cast of Hamilton: The Musical delivered to the vice-president-elect. I sincerely hope that plea for equality and fairness is received and acted upon by the incoming administration. 

If it is ignored, then there is very little hope for any of us in this once-great nation.

Vigilance Needed!

The American election results this past week were an insult to democracy and a disgrace for all of humanity. I believe that we will all need to brace ourselves for four years of irresponsible and ineffective leadership. This is a shame as I honestly thought that we, as both a country and as a society were finally on the path to making this nation into what it was intended to be. A bastion of equality and freedom. 

With an executive and legislative branches in the complete but incompetent hands of reactionary incompetents, true diligence is now resting solely upon our shoulders. We all need to be attentive and to carefully watch our own and our brother's backs. We cannot afford to allow racists, sexists and homophobes to succeed in holding us in any semblance of subservience. 

Prepare for the intense fighting ahead. Unfortunately, we all must survive this struggle in order to emerge victorious in the end.

Digital Images: Strong Black Men

There aren't too often that you see images of strong Black men on the internet. That's one of the reasons I decided that today's post would feature a few pictures that depict the greatness and strength of our race and gender. These photos were randomly gleaned from the internet and I don't own the rights to them.

The one pictured above is of a warrior on his throne. Powerful, majestic and obviously in command and control. This is the way it should be: inferior to none.

The one featured below is another powerful Black man, confident in both his nakedness and his race. This particular one shows a manly erection. This image shows the virility of a Black man without being involved in any sexual activity. 

The pride exhibited by both of these reflections of Black masculinity should inspire us all!

Sexual Position: Preference?

The variety of sexual positions available to us as gay men is truly awesome! There is no limit as to the opportunities possible for us to experience the dick! One may be a "bottom" (the dude who gets his ass fucked) or a "top" (the dude who inserts his dick into another man's ass) but the many ways we experience our sexual gratification are unlimited.  

Part of the joy of being gay is that we aren't limited to just the traditional sexual positions as taught by others. The world is a sexual playground for us all to enjoy as we see fit. As long as the two dudes involved are consenting and willing, there are many options that we can explore and indulge. 

The above photograph demonstrates two male couples seeking their sexual glory in two different ways. The couple on the left are enjoying the "bottom" brotha riding his partner's erection. For the energetic and enthusiastic bottom man, this position is heaven. The variety of letting his "bottom bro" do the job is often very appreciated and welcome by his "top" man! Lay back and all he has to do is cum (ejaculate semen) at the opportune moment. 

The couple on the right are fucking in the more traditional manner with the "top" actually mounting his "bottom" and feeding his dick into that willing ass. A passive role for the bottom man but one that satisfies the top man's need for control and the frenzy of passion. 

Some men may have qualms or hesitation about sharing the same bed with another couple having sex. But as long as the two couples are willing, what right do any of us have to judge? I know that I'm not one to deny anyone the "joy of sexual expression!" Besides, sometimes just knowing that others are able to see our lovemaking adds some excitement into sex. It may even help some mediocre performers in bed to improve and "step-up" their performance!

Naked Selfies

Taking "selfies" (self-photography) is a really popular trend right now. If you doubt me for one minute, look at the explosion of social media users and their postings. Better still, click over to tumblr.com and check out the thousands of bloggers their who are posting images of their cocks, asses and everything else anatomically imaginable. 

But what about those of us who aren't interested in publicly sharing pictures of our body parts with strangers? We simply want some photos of our nudity to exchange with our naked or nude friends and a few select others, such as potential boyfriends or maybe fuck-buddies (dudes we hook-up with just for sex and no-strings attached.  

I don't know about you, but I get pretty tired of seeing the same old photos of a man's dick or his ass or both. There's more to all of us when we're naked or nude than just our sexual anatomy. In my own opinion, I'd rather see the whole man, all of him, or at least as much that can comfortably fit into the photographic view without having to go grab a magnifying glass or high-powered binoculars. If we're going to be making naked pictures, then think beforehand on what you're going to be doing. Come up with some creative and imaginative poses before you pick up your camera!  

And think ahead of time about the background. Where are you taking the photos? Those same old images behind the locked bathroom doors that show the toilet seat and grooming products cluttering up the sink get tired and old real fast. If that's the only place you feel safe making naked selfies, then at least take the time to clean up and organize the background. 

And the same holds true for the photographs you take in your bedroom. You may like living in a pig-sty but the whole world doesn't need to know your business. Clean your room or at least pile all that shit up inside your closet and then shut the damn door. Handle your business right, guys! 

Just like the man above. He's made pictures wearing clothes and then after he's taken them off. He's not just standing there, staring at the camera. He's doing something besides just being a mannequin. We can see his abs and his free-hanging dick with no problem. And he at least looks natural and casual about his being nude. 

And he at least covered the chair in the background with a clean sheet. It may be the rattiest piece of furniture we have ever see, but we'd never know that from the photos he's made. There isn't even the hint of clutter in his background. 

Now this is a dude that I wouldn't mind meeting. Except that I prefer them just a little bit older. But that's just me.

Time to take those nude selfies. I've already cleaned my room and know the poses I'm going to use!

Columbus Day Holiday Weekend

On Monday, October 10, the USA observes the holiday, Columbus Day, dedicated to the memory of Christopher Columbus and his voyages to the New World from Spain. For many Americans, this was a holiday where many falsely believed he actually "discovered" the New World. Of course, the Native American were already living here long before Columbus set sail in search of a shorter route to India. He wasn't even the first European to land here. The Vikings visited here several hundred years before Columbus was born. 

Today is a day remembering Columbus' journey that inaugurated a European exodus to these shores that almost wiped out the indigenous people. He changed the history of the world in ways he never even imagined. 

As for me, I'm using the day off from work to lounge in bed a little longer than usual. The weather outside is supposed to be nice so I'll spend time outdoors and naked. Thank you, Christopher Columbus!

Happy Columbus Day!

October Is LGBT History Month

October of every year is LGBT History Month, a time we dedicate to exploring our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) culture's history, both past and present. It was first conceived by educators who realized that our culture's history was untold in the textbooks their students used. The result was that contributions of our people not only was overlooked but also mistakenly understood as nonexistent until recent years. 

It is important that we all acknowledge and appreciate all the many achievements that all of our LGBT predecessors accomplished not only in our past but are pioneering even today. All of us are threads that are woven into our national fabric. Threads that are forgotten through ignorance and fear mean that the complete fabric is only partially woven and therefore weak. 

Click onto the image above to link to the website maintained by Equality Forum that commemorates out LGBT efforts to improve our world's quality of life. A different person is honored each day of the month, so there are 31 members of our culture honored this year. Research the site and view all of those honored in previous years. You may even nominate your selection for this same honor in 2017. 

None of us know all there is to know about our culture. Bookmark the site and visit it daily. Remember: knowledge is power.

Beautiful Backyard Buttocks!

Summer is now winding down and in just a few more weeks the autumn season will be here. Time to take a quick break from the beach/pool scene and enjoy a little bit of "chill" time in the backyard. A welcome retreat from the crowds, the tourists and other assorted characters and think about the activities and events of the Summer of 2016. A "breathing space" where I can make sure that everything I wanted this summer to be, happened. After today, that leaves me with a little over a week to try to cram any remaining objectives into reality.  

Don't waste away any of the handful of remaining Summer days. Get outside and get naked, even if it is only in your own backyard!
