Nice artilcle. The most relaxing days I have each year are the few I get to visit a local "clothes free" resort for a day of sunning, swimming and running. There are bodies of every size, shape and gender around, but the real draw for me is the freedom to just enjoy being outdoors nude.....especially for a 5 or 10k run. Shoes, socks, a hat and sun lotion are all that are needed.
It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't experience outdoor social nudity...with either friends or strangers, the feeling of freedom and relaxation that quickly soaks in....even for first timers. Everyone, especially those on their first visit, find the hardest part of the day is getting dressed to go home. Some will never return, and others will find...as you did....that the total freedom, the relaxation, and the experience of meeting people without the identity of their choice of clothing...meeting only the person...unadorned...is a truly liberating event. Eveyone should try it sometime in their adult life, even if only once. But, I bet you'll find it hard to get dressed at the end of the day. Life is short.. lets have fun.

6. Finally, nudists tend to be very kind people who take up many worthy causes— they would even give you the shirts off their backs (if they were wearing shirts).
Have I become jaded about women's bodies by my experience? The answer is no. Although I am married (my wife has been to the clothing-optional beach but does not feel comfortable there, and I respect her wishes as she respects mine), I still find women in clothes to be attractive.
Some people fear that our society will turn into a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah if we allow people to be nude in public. This is far from the truth. You know who should really worry about public nudity? The peddlers of pornography— for if we became inured to nudity in everyday life, then there would be little or no market for their wares.
A final thought: I have slightly elevated blood pressure. But when I am at the clothing-optional beach, people have told me they want to put a mirror to my mouth to make sure I am still breathing—I am that relaxed. Nudity, for me, truly is my most natural state.
