ON SUNDAY, June 13 (June 12 in San Juan, Puerto Rico), I posted on Facebook a picture of me naked, butt exposed, with a flamingo floater in a swimming pool.
I wanted to share that because I felt that my social media followers should appreciate “freedom” and “pride” in one picture post on Facebook.
The idea wasn’t lost to my fans.
But, of course, they focused on my butt.
Smooth as baby buns.
Sanaol, they all said.

Let’s provide some context.
I was in Puerto Rico for a weeklong vacation after being cooped up in the mainland USA all through this pandemic.
I was with two gay friends, and they booked everything.
I didn’t have any say in the choice of the hotel.
I mean, if they wanted a gay, clothing optional resort, who am I to balk?
What is there to protest?
***
I’ve been to clothing optional resorts (and gay camps!) before.
I’ve also had my share of visits to bathhouses — before, and after, my husband.
I have no problem disrobing.
Where do you think I get the daring to bare nude in my films? Haha!
But this is the nudist vacation that I enjoyed the most.
Perhaps because I am 52 years old now, and I really don’t care anymore.
***
Coqui Del Mar Gay Hotel Adults Only (as Google Maps will tell you), or just Coqui Del Mar Gay GuestHouse (on their Facebook account) is a marijuana-friendly (you still need your medical marijuana card) and clothing optional gay resort.
I’m not into marijuana, so it doesn’t really matter to me.
But my friends are into marijuana, so there’s that.
What interests me more is the clothing optional part.
I mean, I’m not innocent, and I’m so ready for it.
***
At first, I was just enjoying the “boys” (or men under 33) displaying their Adam’s suits all over the place.
Imagine me in a jacuzzi, with a white boy my type (Ashton Kutcher, is that you?) naked with his morning tumescent almost at the level of my eyesight.
The boy was busy on the phone, but he was hovering about the jacuzzi.
Was he making sure I was smelling his man scent?
If he’s flaunting it, I will gawk at it. Haha!
Codename Ashton was my biggest crush during the stay, but he seemed to have left on the third day I was there.
***
After Ashton, I paid attention to the other nakedness parading around me.
All colors, all races, all sizes, all ages, all sexual fluidity, all nationalities and ethnicities.
I must admit I was still in my Calvin Kleins most of the time.
I wasn’t shy, but I didn’t really feel like flaunting my pecker.
If you still don’t know, I’m a grower, not a shower.
That means, I don’t start with a big d*ck, but I grow into six inches!
***
I like that most guests (and even the owners) are all comfortable with their nakedness.
That made it easier for me to embrace my own nakedness.
And just because most of the young people are notorious in flaunting their nudity, I decided that I should give the 50-something, the 50 years old and above, a proper representation.
And so I showed my full nakedness on Philippine Independence Day.
It was a conscious decision.
***
You see, I’m still very patriotic.
And I also want to represent the Filipino in a very international gay setting/community.
I’m not shy to bare for a purpose.
(Nude protests me, remember?)
And if only to show the best of the Filipino gay, I did what I had to do, and even had my pictures taken.
***
I’m proud to be 52, and I love the body that I have.
Without any help from cosmetic surgery, people still mistake me to be no older than 38.
(Although in this regard, the foreigners are more flattering and generous than Filipinos, who only want to see the downside of things.)
I’m not sure if my grown belly is permanent, or just a bloatedness from after my hemorrhoidectomy, or my lack of exercise in the last six months.
But even if it is, I’m okay with this belly.
***
I’m proud to be a not-jutz.
(Thanks to my Spanish blood!)
I mean, I’m not super daks.
I’ve seen enough global specimens to know where I am in the human male spectrum.
But I am daks enough for the average Pinoy.
And more so with Pinoys in the 50 and above bracket; if you believe my theory that Pinoys born after 1986 have generally bigger penises than those born before.
***
I promise to raise the Filipino flag wherever, whenever, I can.
I will wave it with pride.
And I will erect it where it can be planted!/PN
