Hi Nancy,
If you are serious about trying nudism. I would suggest you visit a venue.
Tell the venue you are nude curious and they'll give you a tour around there place and SHOULD allow you to remain clothed, for the tour.
You'll see that most venues are just like an RV Park, usually with a pool and people social.
Sometimes the venues hold events (such as themed parties or silly childish activities (tug-of-war, 3 legged race, egg'n spoon etc.)... dances, sporting events and more.
The only thing that's different, is our state of undress (we're all naked).
Your profile mentions you're in the US. Suggest you browse the official US naturist website https://www.aanr.com/
Don't bother viewing that website if you are interested in swinging, orges or hook-ups. They are not to be confused/linked with naturism, as they have nothing to do with naturism. It's simply just being naked.
Hope this reply helps to clarify "nudist stuff".
Cheers
Emz
