Thank goodness there are people like you to promote our normal & legitimate nudity. Being nude should be shown in a simple natural way. It brings a lot of tolerance & self-acceptance.
Thank you Andrew.
Martinez was an inspiration for a young teen who had no idea others like me existed. He was much bolder than I’ll ever be, but it was nice to read about him back in the day.
