Barefoot Man is Ready to Welcome a Happy (and Horny) New Year with the New 2025 Calendar

Barefoot Man – formerly the Warwick Rowers – present their new calendar, ensuring that 2025 will be a year that celebrates men and creates community while fighting homophobia in sports.

Just when it seems the whole world is obsessed with an aggressive, toxic strain of masculinity, Barefoot Man reminds us that from the earliest days of our kind men have accomplished great things through mutual support and respect. Whether our ancestors brought down woolly mammoths to feed the tribe or set out to cross arid deserts and stormy seas in search of new frontiers, men have always achieved their most meaningful accomplishments by working together. That spirit lives on in the calendar's motto, "Men as Allies."

"We want to change how the world looks at men, and how men see themselves," Barefoot Man explains at its website. "We create and share impactful original content, both freely on social media and through our fundraising products, to promote healthier life choices for men and greater life chances for everyone."

What's more essentially male than shrugging off clothing, and the constraints that come with it, and roaming free? "Barefoot" goes bare all the way up in this calendar, with men from around the world striking stunning poses in locations as gorgeous as the men themselves, including "Diamante Valley rainforest and Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica," Barefoot Man notes at its site, "at a country estate outside Toledo in Spain and on the Zambezi River in Mozambique."

This is no staid and static collection of a mere dozen images; the calendar offers opportunities for interactive connection all year long.

"Every month contains a full size image," Barefoot Man explains, "plus a second page with a monthly planner, room for notes and a QR code that will lead you into fresh, new content and conversations about the role that men can play in your life, their lives and the future."

An ancillary offering that takes the communal spirit of Barefoot Man even further is Barefoot Roar, a subscription service that "will now give you a ringside seat at spectacular new films and images, the results of new partnerships we have created with World Naked Bike Ride, Jungle Gayborhood and elite athletes around the world."

Another aspect of ROAR: Online forums that foster "conversations about healthier masculinities in which everyone's voice can be heard," through which "you will be able to participate in podcasts, shoots and special live events."

But the men are the whole point, and let's consider the portraits that these beautiful guys – all "volunteer contributors" – have made possible. What summarizes the beauty of a man's essence than hearkening back to an time when we were one with nature – an edenic era of harmony with the world around us?

What could speak to brotherhood more plainly than giving a fellow a helping hand when he needs one?

And what lies closer to a man's heart than the absolute right to love the person he loves and has chosen to share his life?

This is a calendar with an illustrious history – one in which the Barefoot Man organization and its fans can take capital-P Pride.

"Our calendar of artistic male nudes began as the Warwick Rowers at one university sports club in 2009," the Barefoot Man site recalls. "It achieved global fame for its stance against homophobia in sport – and now, sixteen years later, we are still going strong with an award-winning calendar that is loved all over the world."

The Barefoot Man 2025 Calendar makes a perfect gift to usher out the old year, but Barefoot Man always make the Yuletide gay with other gift ideas at its online shop, like the Festive Goodie Bag, as assortment of artistic prints, sensual coffee table books, and even Barefoot Man's inaugural poetry collection. Head there to have a look at other options for this season of giving and good will toward men.
