I mean, I'm sure it's very easy to be "fearless" about walking around naked when you have a body such as yours.
Just found this one, and I found it profound. By writing their fears and then later seeing them go down the drain, it was like letting them go. This vid really made me think. I congratulate you on this, it was very well done!
Clever as fuck.
In the end, he washes all the fears off. If you know what i mean ;)
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. I've always been a subscriber to you, Davey but have never seen this. Now that's the definition of fearless.
Wouldn't being naked in public be the absolute last thing davey is afraid of?
especially with a full camera crew !
I wanna write on Davey Wavey Q___Q
We All Do.
That was really beautiful I'm speechless
I'm crying. You're such a wonderful person.
me to he's so awsome :')
itsmexable Yeah absolutely!
My Fear- Coming Out And Letting People Know Who I Really Am
anyone who loves you loves you
✨just do it✨
If I could like that a million times I wold. Fucking speechless. Me and my friend are in tears right now.
He washed the fears away
Only if that was that easy😔
This...Was...So...Fucking...Perfect.
Your mind, Davey, is simply as beautiful as your body is.
Having people write on your body what they fear...Walk through the streets showing all of the fears people have, going to your home, and washing all of the fears off of you?...The perfect, poetic message you send here is just...HNNNNG I GOTTA SQUEE OUT LOUD FOR THIS!
You're the kind a guy I wish I had the nerve to ask out on a date, but don't dare to cause he's like leagues above me in both looks and kind heartedness :(
Forever a fan, from the furry communities

That gave me goosebumps that was so awesome. What a beautiful project. And what an amazing way to help liberate all those people (and make a train full of people happy). You bud, just got yourself a new subscriber.
This is great! Thank you so much for this video.
Davey you just may be able to help this world in the way I wish I could have.
Such an inspirational video Davey! I'm definitely going to show my class this video! I love the motto "you wash all the fears away, if only it were that easy to be fearless" you are extremely inspirational!
Nice - but who held the camera while you were showering? :-)
young gay boys fucking
Did you make a note of what it is they fear? It would have made it more interesting to see all the responses.
Cool 👍🏾
This is an amazing video with an amazing message.
I got the message, fearless.
Great video.
You must have been freezing your ass off!!! :O
Well Davey basically did what i fear the most.... Being exposed to prying eyes of other people. Could feel my heart beat like crazy :S
Davey,,, can I just say that you are my inspiration... and everything you do makes me feel as if I can accomplish the impossible. Please keep being your wonderful self, so that you can keep helping once confused and lost individuals like me.
Holy, fucking, shit. Davy you are awesome.
soooo artistic!! loved this vid davey!
you washed all their fears away =)
This deserves more views!
Damn, that was deep Davey +wickydkewl. Kudos
Love this man. Great social experiment.
Davey, your parents must be so very proud of you! I know that I am proud of you, young man. Keep up the wonderful job you are doing to bring so many noble causes to light, in such a creative and heartfelt way. Davey, you are not only a credit to the LGBT community but, also to your generation and, more importantly, to humanity..
my fear is my own mind and what it's capable of making me do..
He washed away there fears.
I'm actually going to face my fear in a few weeks! I'm terrified of needles and giving blood! So I'm going to donate to a blood drive every other month (give or take a few due to work and college) So I can face fear and give back a bit:D I get scared every time I think of it, but it'll be worth something so I'll do it anyways!
Do this at my country: immediatelly you will Arrest! LOL.Hi 5 to you dear
0:36 THAT was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL part of this video

I love the Symbolism of this video, I thought it was very beautiful and thoughtful, and something else but I can't think of the word.
Amazingly Brave! Extremely touching! You Rock!
I wish I could take a photo with you! Excellent!
I really liked this :) Thanks Davey
luuuuuuuvvvveee it
the one that said" looking inside myself and finding nothing" is my fear aswell
i dont understand that one yet i feel like i can relate to it somehow
That was beautiful!
Am I the only straight dude that watch his videos??
No
You sure , u are? :)
Are u?? Really.
Paul Hallett Really?! Eh Di Wow!
Paul Hallett oh really? just make sure u're straight guy hohoho
Amazing, DW!
And then you washed what they all are afraid of. :) Lovely
very very creative. I truly believe art can heal the world. ;)
I was reluctant to write this post because I am in disagreement with several other people who have posted favoring this video.
In my opinion, what you've shown, Davey, is the majority of your body, an immense lack of discretion and that you are capable of performing in a commercial for Aussie Bum underwear.
One does not necessarily have to be fearless to be on public display while dressed inappropriately in nothing more than a pair of underwear. What is necessary for the person showing his body in such a situation is the lack of a virtue known as modesty and the lack of a discretion so as to know when one should practice this type of modesty.
Don't misunderstand, Davey, I am not a "prude". Someone being naked or nearly naked in an appropriate setting is perfectly fine in my opinion. An appropriate setting, by way of example, would be a situation during which everyone who is involved would be in agreement about the appropriate nudity or near nudity such as a locker room or a nudist colony.
In my opinion, the offense you've committed as revealed in this video is forcing the site of your nearly naked body, in a public environment, upon unsuspecting persons who may not wish to view your body. It should not be the responsibility of those unsuspecting persons to turn their eyes away to avoid seeing your body but rather it should be and indeed is your responsibility to dress and act appropriately in a public situation.
So there is no misunderstanding, I will state that my comment is not about and has nothing to do with your state of dress or undress (as the case may be) as you appear in your UA-cam videos. People who view your UA-cam videos do so willingly and most probably expect you to reveal your body at least to some degree. My comment has to do with a defense of those who were unsuspecting and perhaps unwilling participants in this indiscreet and inappropriate display of your body at the location where the filming of this video took place, the very public streets of New York City.
debs K,
It will be necessary for us to agree to disagree. You are right in that this society deems certain appropriate and acceptable places for certain states of dress or undress. As you stated, those same states of dress and undress would be unacceptable and inappropriate in other places and situations.
I have no doubt that there were some "willing participants" but I can well imagine there were also those who were not shown in the video who were probably annoyed if not disgusted by the site of a fully grown man walking around on a public and highly populated street wearing only his underwear. He was not on a beach, he was on main public street where most people in our society would not be accepting of a mostly naked person walking among them.
In my opinion, Davey looked ridiculous in this situation regardless of his level of physical fitness.
Paul's comments and questions So, you're saying that if a few people disapprove of something that it is wrong? The few people that disapprove can choose not to participate and can continue on with their day like any normal person would or should do. Davey was doing for a cause, which should be obvious in this video. But you saying what he is doing is Wrong? I would think even the straightest of straight people would at least appreciate the thing he is doing rather than complain about it like what Davey was doing was inherently wrong, which it was not. I'm sure if the people of New York had a issue with it they would tell someone about it and the NYPD would be on his tail in a nanosecond. But obviously this was not the case. Whoever has a problem with it has no reason to have a problem with it. The sillyness that society is against it as a whole, NO. This was someone who was showing everyone that they can express that people can face their fears enough to write them on another human being, do you not think that this was something of value more than the people who are against it? Furthermore, this entire "revealing body" thing is really ridiculous. Everyone should see the human body as beautiful, no matter how odd it is to see someone with minimal clothing, since that is the way humans were meant to be. You don't see dogs walking around complaining about the others lack of clothing. Even if they can't talk they would avoid them. But no, they have the sense that us humans don't have, the sense that the body of our own species should not put off anyone. Just like how a dog with one of those little shirts on doesn't avoid another one wearing nothing. I hope that nobody found this wrong, because that would be a literal disgrace the someone could go against, for one the cause this man was exercising, and two the human body its self should not be something that would put off people, should it? Most people have enough sense to appreciate what Davey is doing here and those who don't can just not participate in the thing that they do not like or can not accept.
I highly doubt that it was only a few people who, when walking by, disapproved of Davey's highly inappropriate lack of clothing and behavior.
I never used the word "wrong", you did. What I wrote was, in essence, Davey revealing his mostly naked body was inappropriate for his surroundings. Had he been on a beach or somewhere else appropriate for his state of dress or lack thereof, I probably would have never made any comment.
In my opinion, Davey's lack of clothing and people drawing on his body made him look foolish and very undignified. There were two probable causes for this situation. One of those probable causes was exhibitionism and the other probable cause was to advertise Aussie Bum underwear.
I think of those people who were out on the town (the night of the filming of the video), perhaps with their families, who were forced to not only divert their own eyes but also divert the eyes of their children away from Davey's exhibitionism. As I wrote previously, the problem, in my opinion, was that Davey's lack of dress was very much unexpected for the surroundings. I'm sure there were many people who were unwilling participants and who would have never agreed to participate in seeing Davey in his underwear if they had been warned about his lack of dress ahead of time.
I believe I've made my opinion quite clear. I have nothing further to say on this subject.
Paul's comments and questions Maybe you should have a read of "The Bias Against Creativity: Why People Desire But Reject Creative Ideas" by Jennifer Mueller (UPenn Wharton), Shimul Melwani (UNC) and Jack A. Goncalo (Cornell), they found that the vast majority of people (ie, pretty much everyone) has an unconscious bias against creative ideas that works to ignore and reject creative ideas that fall outside of our comfort zones.
I could use your own argument on your own comments? None of us want to see them, but they are basically forced upon us - unless we look away?
This is performance art, even if it was sponsored/for a commercial. Don't appreciate the art? Then get the fuck outta here ;o
Claytonface,
I am responding on this topic one last time but only because I want to defend a particular type of artist, the Performance Artist. I have seen several performance artists of different types over the years. I don't mean to be unkind but to call the situation shown in this video "Performance Art" is not only ridiculous but also an insult to Performance Artists.
I suppose to some degree the drawings people were applying to Davey's body could be very loosely described as "Art" but, in my opinion, in no way that I can discern or imagine could what Davey was doing be described as any type of artistic endeavour or performance. I would label what Davey was doing as self satisfying exhibitionism and as highly inappropriate.
There was no stage or even so much as an area designated as a stage. There was no "artistic performance". There was only a guy walking around in New York City in a pair of underwear with smeared paint all over his body.
Davey has my admiration for maintaining his excellent physical fitness but regardless of his degree of physical fitness and prowess, subjecting the unsuspecting public on the streets of a major city to his mostly naked body is, once again, very inappropriate and inconsiderate.
Had Davey actually been involved in a legitimate performance on a stage in front of an audience, I would have never made a disparaging comment because the audience members would have willingly chosen to be at that performance.
This is definitely my final comment on this subject.
I liked this video. It was so inspiring.
Failing in school, never finding out who I really am
A guy in underwear is considered naked in the U.S. How prude.
For Everyone Wondering What The Song Is. It's - Destiny By: Bekah Shae. Hope This Helped! :)
It's a fuckin' great idea!!! I love it, I love you, I wish I could write my fears on you... xoxo
Omg I love this, it's inspirational but Damn u had to be frickin cold and that's the thing your willing to freeze in the cold to do this and ur an inspiration to everyone :)
Look through all the comments of course there's gonna be the haters saying Davey was stupid doing this and this puts stereotypes on gays. Well it doesn't people don't know if hes gay of naw is one and two is he was doing this to show that you should be fearless and wash away the fears not what they say. Davey was amazing this is a great message to everyone! I think this is awesome. Stop hating. It's stupid
Guys!! This song is By Beckah Shae and It's called "DESTINY"
Very Buddhist. Tonglen. The idea is to breathe in the bad and exhale the good. This was pretty awesome!!
what is the name of that song?
Destiny by Beckah Shae
I'd Put:
That I'm In Love With My Best Friend.
very brave Davey!
Tbh, this was really cool! Brilliant idea and definitely fearless.
What's the point of being nearly naked?
Awesome u go davey
The most inspirational video that I have seen in a long time.
Wow, so powerful. I like the end, wash away your fear, so easy but so hard. Thank 😋😌
You are amazing ♥
Thank you.
There aren't words that accurately describe how emotional I felt after watching this. A mixture of curiosity, pain, hope, fear, pride, gratitude, and a boatload of other things. I know this was posted back in 2012, (my first time watching it, you have so many videos!) but this is the kind of inspiration I need to do my own work this new year. So again, thank you!
This is brilliant! Might gonna do it for a photo project. Inspiring! Keep it up, Dave. Love from Indonesia.
I love the symbolism of taking everyone's fear and washing it away.
That's different.
This video was amazing and deserves 15 million views! I would've wrote "Heights". Loved seeing so many peoples fears being washed away. New favorite! Peace out! ~oO(♫)Oo~
This is perfect. Also, side note: I would pay money to write on you.
wow, this is amazing.
Inspirational
This is such an awesome idea!!
Love you.
You are amazeballz! i love you and never change
The typically OLD-sounding background pop music`s enough of a let-on to that dullard`s never-ending frightfulness .. oh well.
I dont know why but i cried when i saw this vídeo ...
that was absolutely amazing; I can't even put words to my reaction. I carry so many fears and regrets on my own person, seeing the ones that others wrote on you wash away really hit home. not to get weird but it was almost Christ-like. seeing so many of your vids are light hearted and funny this one took me by surprise. Davey, whatever your religious views, God bless you
This is very cool but you shouldn't have walked around naked. You definitely traumatized some children...
That is so wonderful ritual. Thank you for taking the fears of people in New York and washed it away afterwards. I know and I believe you've been an instrumental in healing those people who wrote down their fears in your body.
May you be Blessed!
this is beautiful. makes me cry every time. if I were there I would have written two things; anorexia and schizoaffective disorder. two things I struggle with.
Wow. I love this video. :D youre taking their fears and waahing them away. Thats amazing! :D and i like the song :3
Amazing idea~
One of the best and most uplifting videos I've seen in a long time. Thanks for washing away our fears. Now I have to wipe away my tears.
im in love with this! since im a girl im gonna make my guy friends do this, i would but ya know...so beautiful im crying :)
cuz i feel guys would be trying to get with me if i striped down to underwear
i fear bully's at school... actually i fear just going to school because of this :'(
When I need to do something for my school to promote it, I'm going to personally make this into a project. Dave, you have and you still are supporting so many people (and children) to be themselves. That's one of the reasons you're actually so loved. Keep it up, Champ!
This is such a beautiful message. I love you, Davey Pioneer. Tyler Lord Hamilton
I am straight but I love this guy he is so freaking awesome and inspirational keep up the amazing work Davey and always remember love
Hate
Keep changing the world and making it a better place and always be proud those who are jealous are jealous because hate is in there hearts man if you could it would be amazing if you followed me on Twitter DTigers93 thanks man
This is genius, PURE and BRILLIANT CONGRATULATIONS
I miss content like this.
This is one of the most beautiful social experiments I've seen a youtuber do. Hats off to you Davey.
Sidenote: This is EXACTLY the reason why I want to move to New York and America in general. People there are so much more open-minded, accepting and will participate in something they believe in. Here in the UK, I doubt this would work very much. People would just walk on by and just stare blankly.
OMG ......SO AMAZING VIDEO ....VERY DEEP ......!!!
MAKE MORE LIKE THOSE ! SIMPLY LOVED IT .....
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS ! :)
SPREAD LOVE TO THE WOLD !
That was amazing! And since I'm Christian I could really see a relation there. Jesus washes our sins away. And this was a wonderful metaphor of washing people's fears away. I'm not sure if anyone else interpreted this way, but I just thought it was a cool relation.
So bold !
Imagine walking half naked through NYC!
Hi Davey... My name is Luis, I'm a 25 year old pansexual-queer-half drag from Puerto Rico and I must say... THIS VIDEO MADE ME VERY EMOTIONAL! It made me cry. Just watching you washing off their fears was too much for me to handle. I have spent two nights watching your videos and I must say "you are something!" You touched my warm side and that is something not many can do via UA-cam. I wish you come to the island and enjoy out Caribbean paradise if you have not. Be safe and God bless you!
What song is this!? 😂
First time to comment Davey...but I had to! I would be WICKEDLY AFRAID to do what you just did (because my body stinks), but the message is profound. Wash away your fears!!! Thanks for doing this.
I don't think it is a stupid thing to fear. Many people fear death and no one knows for sure what, if anything happens when we die so it seems like a logical fear to me.
I dont know if it's because of the song or cuz of the bravery you showed, but it almost brought a little tear to my eyes. :') For a long time, I have been insecure about my skinny body, my teeth, my face, etc. But thanks to your videos for making me believe in myself.
