Naked Rehersal

When bored at home on a winter's day, some like to experiment in front of their camera or video recording devices in different poses in order to see how they appear to others. This is natural and is good for enhancing self-esteem and improving their public image. 

Others take advantage of the same strategy to test or practice their naked image. There's nothing wrong or odd about this, especially if the guy is curious about exploring nudity. Once again, it is perfectly natural to be wondering if they really "measure-up" while they're naked. After all, many of us don't have the time to check out our own nudity unless it's in front of a mirror. 

I encourage all of us to try this every time we have a chance. After all, when we're out and showing off our nakedness with others, we need to be confident of the image that we're projecting for others to admire.

The Face Of Our Future...

Sorry! I saw this on tumblr.com the other day and just couldn't resist the urge. The truth is, it looks just like the fool!

Another Thought On Shaved Pubes (Body Hair)

In my post entry here on December 18, 2016: Shaved Pubes, I think I inadvertently left out a central message that I hoped would be understood by all those reading here. Even though I prefer men with all their body hair intact, I also understand and respect men who choose to shave or trim their own.

The important element of the message is to simply be proud of both your nakedness and your sexuality! Be you and be confident!

I am sorry for any confusion that I may have caused.

Happy Nude Year, 2017

For all of us who suffered serious disappointment over the recent presidential and congressional elections, the arrival of 2017 brings with it an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. We aren't confident in ourselves and our causes, not to mention the political leadership of this country. 

There are simply too many "unknowns" for us to feel excited about the future.

I know. For many weeks after the election, I felt the same. I was very anxious and depressed. I didn't feel energetic and it seemed as though I would listlessly drift from day-to-day. 

However, one thing I do know is that I am not beaten as a proud gay man who enjoys both his nudity and his sexuality. I know the man that I am!

I am proud of being a Black, gay man and in being naked! No one, particularly not an election, is going to change any of that! 

Regardless of what the future brings, I am going to continue being me: all aspects of me! 

I will continue to stand tall and proud!

I will continue to fight and be me!

To all of you reading here, I want to offer each one of you my sincere and naked appreciation for your support of my blog, Black, Gay, Nude and Proud! Together, we can all try to make a positive difference to all our brothas who are striving to remain positive in these difficult times.

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!
