What a great post, and it offers some good advice. I like the one about blogs and a truck driver with issues. I laughed at that one but so true. The pervs are out there, sad to say. When I started I wasn't a member here, but I found talking with others close to my age, sharing experiences has really helped me to understand what I was feeling about my nudity. It is not just as simple as taking your clothes off. Most resorts are older people. It's hard to find others near my age. With the help of others, I learned that I wasn't a pervert for enjoying being nude. Becoming a naturist takes time and doesn't happen over night.
