I (M, early 40s) didn't consider myself a "nudist" until within the last year but I would go to a nudist resort in a heart beat. My first time to a nude beach was only in November 2014, which was an amazing experience, and I cannot wait for summer to be here so that I can go visit the nude resorts in my state.
Being nude at a pool or in nature is such a relaxing and stress free experience once you get past the initial awkwardness, self-doubt and self perception issues. Being nude is a huge EQUALIZER between sexes and races. All your barriers are down and to feel the sun and wind on your naked body is just mind blowing.
If you are interested in nudism, here are some helpful resources:

While it is possible that some of the patrons at a nude resort could look like this, it is more likely that they are just like you and me or a family at the beach for the day or a mom with her child or friends of all different shapes and sizes who are there to lounge around in the sun. After all, there are good looking people at nude beaches and there are average folks as well but in the end they can all agree on one thing: life is better naked
