Hi peeps. Once again I’m heading out of town as soon as I finish this post. I’ve got a couple of nights in Kangaroo Valley with some friends which will be beautiful and relaxing then a night with my parents which is always great. So there won’t be any posts til I get back on Monday.
In the mean time, here’s a few videos of naked men to keep you entertained!
For every thousand people out there who never let anyone but their significant other see them nude, there is someone out there who is always getting their gear off in public. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love getting nude but I’m rarely the first and rarely the only one.
Every year at events like Fremont Solstice Parade and World Naked Bike Ride there are people who do it religiously, any opportunity to get their junk out, painted or au naturel. This guy has been snapped a few times and I am almost certain I’ve seen him in some World Naked Bike Ride photos too. Good on him, he’s certainly got a body worth showing off!
Morgan is a young man with a dream. That dream is to get naked all over the world and jump up and down. He says his aim is to blur the lines between exhibitionism and art and eventually have an exhibition of his adventures. Morgan looks like a laugh to hang out with that’s for sure. Check out Morgan’s fundraising site here.
Winter in Australia is pretty mild. We bitch and moan about 15 degree (celsius) days being freezing cold and I’m one of them. I was born for summer and always will be devoted to sunshine. A couple of years ago I promised myself that if I’m going to bitch about winter and not being able to go to the beach, then I can’t complain in summer about the heat and I’ve stuck to that.
If I lived somewhere that had a real winter, firstly we’d probably have better, more appropriate heating and secondly I’d probably do shit like this for giggles with friends. I’d also have a hot tub out on a deck to sit in and admire the snowy environment while being naked and warm.
One hundred and two nude roller coaster enthusiasts have broken the world record, previously set at a measly 32 riders. They did this with the aim of raising money for a charity. Good on them! I am sitting here giggling at the thought of slow motion footage and what all that velocity does to unsupported body parts, but I know that if I’d been in the area, I’d have been there too!
I’m not sure what this is all about or how it came about or why but I’m thinking that being in England, they’d want to have good heating. This guy says he likes to do things all or nothing and if he’s going to work nude he may as well leave home nude too. Can you imagine commuting to work nude? I kinda like the idea of being nude a lot but there are not many of my colleagues I want to see nude.
CMNM is something you see around the internet and ever since I found out what it was all about I have been intrigued by the concept. Yes I like being nude but it’s very rare that I’ll be the only one that is nude. I’ll be the first if I’m confident that others will soon follow suit and yes, I’ll be actively campaigning for them to do so and soon.
I have thought about being nude in a clothed environment like being a life drawing model but even then, the attention is too much focused on me. So it makes me wonder what it is about the Clothed Male Naked Male (CMNM) situations that people find a turn on. Some guys really do get off on the idea. Is it the attention or, if you watch some of the videos online, a sort of coercion or humiliation aspect? If you are into it or familiar with it, please comment.
A Canadian man is believed to have jumped a guard rail before being hit by a bus last week. A woman who did not witness the incident says he was only wearing a gold bracelet. He was taken to hospital but his condition now is unknown.
I guess we’ll never know what prompted the man to be nude on the road, whether it was a prank gone wrong or something more sad, but I’m hoping the man makes a full recovery.
Yep, that’s what I meant to say, random nude public jumping. Morgan here likes to get nude and jump around in public. This video calls it art. I’m not sure that I’d agree but I do like the philosophy that art doesn’t have to be serious. I’m also surprised that somewhere like the U.S. (where I’m presuming this video comes from) has an abandoned amusement park that is so easily accessible.
The two big well-known events on the public nudity calendar have both taken place in the last couple of weeks. The World Naked Bike Ride and the Fremont Solstice parade.
The Fremont Solstice Parade looks like a lot of fun and people go to a lot of trouble to “dress up” in bodypaint in various characters for the parade.
The World Naked Bike Ride is held all over the world as these photos from San Fancisco, Mexico and Brighton, England prove. Australia does take part, allegedly but at a different time of year as it’s Winter here at the moment. Sadly the powers that be don’t turn a blind eye to the breaking of public nudity laws here as they do in other parts of the world. All the information I can find says that Australian participants have to wear a minimum of a g-string.
Working with Miguel, the model yesterday was an interesting experience. He’s a really nice guy and knew ahead of time that I was working towards shots for my exhibition which would involve nudity. I don’t want full frontal shots even though I have shot some in the past, it’s not generally my thing.
He brought up the fact that from my profile on model mayhem he knew I’d had some of my photography on the DNA blog and thought it would be great if I could get some in the actual magazine. So I know he was comfortable with me being gay.
The interesting part is that he wanted to do nudes for the exhibition and was really keen to be a part of the exhibition but the whole time we were shooting he had a hand firmly clamped over his cock. He’s clearly just not used to being seen nude outside the bedroom. He’s also in Australia to train for boxing. Now, my knowledge of real boxing gyms, not Fitness First boxing classes, is limited but from reliable stories I understand that most of them are pretty old school and have communal showers. How does someone who isn’t that comfortable with being seen nude deal with the post training shower situation?
For me, rowing surf boats and the post training shower was when I got over my prudishness as it just wasn’t practical to avoid it and showering in my speedos would have caused more teasing than not.
Whatever his reasons, Miguel was fantastic to shoot and very eager to please. He’s also very keen to shoot again. I just wish I could share some of the images.
It’s amazing to see the difference in levels of prudishness and censorship around the world. In the U.S. a contestants hint of bum crack on Survivor gets blurred out, but in New Zealand they post video on official news sites of the Annual Nude Rugby match complete with full frontal action!
Thanks to James for sending me the link. If anyone has the embeddable file, please let me know!
Long time readers of this blog would be aware that I’ve always thought that a nude gym would be a fantastic idea and if I could work out nude I’d probably work out a lot more regularly than the slack arse efforts I’ve been putting in lately.
Well I’ve now found out from a couple of different sources that those lucky Parisians have the “Centre International de Sejour de Paris” which has a smallish gym open 5 times a week for naturists, that also includes their pool. Fantastic! So jealous. Any readers that use the gym nude I’d love to hear from you.
Those readers in L.A. who fancy a nude workout can always call Trainer Rick who I interviewed on the blog a little while back. Anyone wanting to train with Rick, nude or not, can contact him at rickbodyla@aol.com
Kirill is a fellow blogger that runs a site called Active Naturists, and he loves being nude even more than me. He lives in Berlin and I would say, given my little bit of experience in the world, that if I was going to pick a country and a city that was the most nude-liberal in the world, I would pick Germany for that country and Berlin for that city so maybe it’s no surprise that Kirill is a nudist with nude friends.
He travels when he can to nude holiday destinations and blogs videos and photos of the trips. He tells me he debated whether or not to post images of himself nude on the internet but then made a conscious decision to do it. He wants to be an example to all the younger guys out there who are self conscious. Nudism has a reputation out there for only being for the older generations and a quick flick through naturist websites and magazines would largely support that theory.
I personally have thus far, stuck to my resolve to not post full frontal images of myself on this blog. There are full frontal images on the gay sites that I use from time to time and a couple of other places and maybe, just maybe I’ll be happy enough with a full frontal image to post it on here. Thanks to Kirill for flying the flag for young nudists everywhere.
If you could turn up to work on a daily basis and without fear of legal action or physical danger, do your job in the nude, would you? A fellow blogger, Peter of Narcissus Gazed, is about to go off to a nude island in France and work on the set of a nude yoga DVD. Another blog reader has said that he sits in his office at work nude all the time, but that’s not in an office where he really interacts with people. So I’m asking, if nudity weren’t a problem at your job, would you do it? I for one am actually not sure.
