Photos & Videos Russian sauna, swimming, outdoors videos with dick/ball slips and frontal nudity

@Fidel Oregon Thanks for contributing to the thread, but that's not quite what I had in mind when I made this thread. Several of your pictures don't have frontal nudity and don't seem to be of Russian men. The pictures you posted seem to be of exhibitionist men, but I was hoping to keep this thread about incidental or accidental nudity that includes Russian men. I think your posts might be better suited for a thread like Photo - Men Naked Outdoors.

Trying to keep threads on topic here is like herding cats.
 
On the 19th of January each year, there is a custom in Russia and some other ex Soviet countries of taking a dip in a lake or river. Usually done in swim wear, though one guy here is naked among the crowds.

Then, there is this clip. Fewer people, but still very public and more guys going au naturel.

nudity from around the 2 minute mark.

Note that the hole in the ice has been made into the shape of a cross. In other videos, the water is "blessed" by a priest before anyone goes in. The priest often goes in too, but fully dressed - certainly never in bathers let alone naked!

It is admirable how nonchalant Russians seem to be with regard to nudity. Even the ones in swimwear don't seem to mind others being naked and neither are they bothered about having the body for speedos for example.

It would be interesting to have before and after shots to illustrate the inevitable shrinkage that is going to occur. I doubt these guys are that bothered about that phenomenon - perhaps they even joke about it!

nudity begins at about 1:10

No ice and snow this time, but certainly Russian, a guy seemingly persuaded by his "comrades" to ditch his pants before going for a dip.

Result? - big respect no doubt, dry underwear, and a few Roubles richer!

This is another public banya. The guys seem totally at ease with each other and apparently unconcerned that they are being filmed - even naked. I don't understand Russian generally, but can pick out a few words, including that the temperature was -9ºC (15.8ºF).

One doesn't need to understand Russian to appreciate the relaxed, friendly male camaraderie that is going on there. Such male bonding seems to be an important factor in Russian culture and hearkens back to the time when I visited public saunas (attached to swimming baths) in the 1990s. These were single sex and (for men at least) naked.

The difference then was that such venues had not become gay cruising grounds that (even not specifically gay places) in the West have become. The relaxing atmosphere as seen with these Russians have given way to one of seediness and tension.
