My Ten-Year Challenge

Everybody is doing it and I've done it on my clothed social media but I thought I should do it also in my naturist blog, especially after I read the news yesterday. Apparently, celebrities are all doing it and they are simply showing how good they looked 10 years ago and how good they look now. But they all go for plastic surgery, Botox and other invasive chemical and physical procedures to deceive people into thinking they're eternally gorgeous. Apparently, this has made some people hate themselves and their bodies.

We naturists are people who love our bodies for what they are, imperfections and all.  As one grows old,  it's natural to have marks of ageing. If you are naturally deceptive, you will probably want to reverse the marks of ageing with Botox and other invasive therapies. But these are all poisonous and what's the good of them apart from deceiving people into thinking you don't look like what you really do? I've never applied anything on my face and my greying hair has never touched a drop of dye and why should I go through any of these chemical transformations?

The desire to look young is an overshoot of our evolutionary need to get hitched and to propagate our genes. The primordial ape looks for a young woman to impregnate because she can best produce babies and the primordial female ape looks for a young man from whom she can be sure to receive the best quality sperm in order to continue her genes. It's silly to let this genetic need overshoot into an age when we no longer need to look for a mate or when our family is complete. And it's downright dangerous if we allow ourselves to be operated on or injected with Botox and other poisonous substances (Botox is a poison that can kill you instantly if it enters your bloodstream) and to apply toxic chemicals on our hair which will no doubt seep into our heads.

A former classmate of mine once met me at a class reunion and he took a selfie with me. He then proceeded to redo his face and mine on an app in his phone  so that we would look young. I told him to leave my face alone in the photo  but he did it anyway and he posted it online. He said all his postings had to look good and he was averse to the thought of ageing. I felt very sorry for him because he was balding and I think he used some app to hide his baldness. This is a classic case of a lack of body acceptance.

We are sometimes fat, sometimes thin but we always look older and older and that's only natural. Why anyone would try to hide that fact is beyond me. No frog wants to look like a tadpole, I'm sure.

To do the Ten-Year Challenge, I had to look for a photo taken of me in 2009. I found one taken on 12 June 2009 and the other photo was taken two days ago. If you are repulsed because you are too used to looking at celebrities, my advice is that you should mix more with normal honest non-deceptive humans who don't pile poison on themselves just to create a false image.

Here's my #tenyearchallenge

    1. Hi John (you are the John I met in Taiwan),
      At first I thought I shouldn't say anything in reply because I'm usually reluctant to talk about the genitals in a naturist setting but then I thought to myself that if I treated the human body as perfectly natural, and reference is made to my penis, I should treat it as if your were talking about another perfectly natural and decent part of my anatomy such as my toe. To totally avoid talking about the genitals would only make me appear no different from a non-naturist to whom even nudity is taboo. If I can't even respond to a comment about the genitals and I treat it as taboo, shouldn't I also conceal them like a non-naturist would?


      You are correct to point out the two facts. First I was very fat in 2009. I had stopped running the marathon which I used to do every year and I was going the usual way of the family man who goes home each evening to be with his wife and kids and does no exercise. The other fact about the size of my penis is also correct. In 2009 I was always nervous and uncomfortable when I took a nude selfie outdoors. I have many photos which I took outdoors and they all show the same thing. I think it's natural that nervousness and the cold will have that effect on the penis. That's the explanation. It has nothing to do with my being super fat. Haha. The pictures taken indoors when I wasn't uncomfortable show I'm right.
