Inaugural Post!

Hello-ello one and all, and welcome to my home… my homepage that is! I finally bit the bullet and made myself a site. This little snippet won’t be a long post (edit: it will be a long post), it’s mostly to act as an introduction and a reminder that more will come.

I have a weird relationship with social media. My desire to use it comes in waves: on one hand I love it and brainstorm a ton of new ideas, it opens up the entire world to lil ole me, but on the other hand I’ll have moments of self doubt, thinking that what I am doing is stupid and it very well could ruin future opportunities. My brain has been the site of an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. Some of my loyal followers have clearly noticed my long periods of silence, so I really just wanted to explain (I know I don’t have to, but I do want to). In a nutshell, I live with my elderly parents at our home business in rural Canada. That’s as far as I’ll go with location for now. During the pandemic, I emotionally shut out everyone that wasn’t them. Their health and safety was my priority, followed by the family business, then my own branch of the business, which I’ll talk about later! We’re into hospitality so the pandemic was rough, but we got through in one piece. Halleloo! But yeah, my friends both online and offline were not on my mind.

So, with The Naked Canadian, I was not feeling sexy enough to post anything, it felt so fucking superficial with so much shit happening in the world. I did post occasionally, but I really had other things to think about. I briefly made a run at the NFT scene and I sold one NFT for charity - OutRight International. This NFT, which featured my dong, was on display at the largest pride event in NYC this past June too! Very cool. The crypto scene has crashed recently so that’s on the back burner. I still have high hopes for NFTs: crypto is the future of currency barring any cataclysms. And guess what? NFT artists willing to go full frontal themselves are still pretty rare. If this continues to take off in the art world, I would be considered an early-ish LGBT “pioneer” of male nudity in NFTs and Web3 despite the artistic quality (lol I’m trying…). It’s an interesting digital time right now and I’m just dabbling away in ALL of the things - setting the foundation for when it bounces back and trying to be unique at the same time. Who the fuck knows, eh? I haven’t travelled in years so that’s where some of my ‘travel money’ is going haha it’s a gamble, but I’m not putting anymore in until I get something back. Now I wait…

So, if I’m so busy with my parents and the businesses, why am I playing around with crypto and why am I posting naughty things on other sites? I ask myself this sometimes, but I do actually have a method to my madness. I want to fund my projects and I want to do some good! As you can probably tell, I come from a place of privilege, that’s why I can do all of this and feel secure that even if this bites me in the ass, I’ll still be OK. I don’t even know how I would describe my situation… probably smack dab in the middle of “working class”. I’ll get into this another time because I have sat here for a solid 20 minutes trying to think of a way to explain it without giving it all away. It’s a very difficult task (you’ll see why when the time comes! haha). Basically, I want to use what resources I do have at my disposal to leave a lasting and positive legacy.

My IG account has 2k followers, many of whom are gay nudists, and I take that seriously. It’s likely you (yes, you!) found this page through my IG account. You’re my foundation (and inspiration) for what I hope will be a thriving ecotourism business. I often like to say that my version of paradise is a place in nature where I can get naked in solitude. A place where I could wake up and stumble outside naked without having to look over my shoulder first, even as a couple or throuple, that ‘oneness’ with nature is incomparable. I want to set the stage so that you, or others like you, may also have that sort of experience outside. It would be like having your own private conservation area (because not all of us want others to be around while dabbling in naturism). Essentially, that’s the plan. I’m comfortable showing my body online and in solitude, it’s a quirk of mine I guess; however, I think it’s important to spread some male body positivity so I’m trying to use that comfort to my advantage. There’s no denying that nudity gets attention and I’m OK with that because I don’t get attention in the real world lol

Well everyone, my brain is mush trying to get everything out and I feel like I have barely skimmed the surface. Are you looking forward to what’s to come as much as I am?
