I'm a rather, what they call, "sensitive" guy. I'm kind to people, I don't listen to my ego like many men do (though I do stand up for people and myself and was taught martial arts for that reason as a result of my father's telling me never to just sit back and let people be wronged). I've had a girlfriend whom I met twice, since it was a long distance relationship. The relationship ended without any explosions or such. That was when I was 16, I'm 23 now. I've been a Christian my whole life, coincidentally named Christopher. I'm not the kind that attacks or puts people down, but rather the kind that shares with the curious, as is supposed to be.
Well, there's a lot to my life, but I guess that will do for now. Other than doctors, really, I've never been nude in front of people. I recently discovered a nudist resort nearby and have always felt, like my father did, the body is an artistic thing, not something look at with disgust. I was thinking of going there, but I'm uncertain about how these things go, and I'm shy to begin with.
What I wanted to know was what to expect, really? I'm confident in my body, though I look a bit unique and have some scarring from a hereditary disease, not anything contagious or such, just a thing my dad had and passed on to me when I was born. I'm a bit self-conscious of that and go through a lot of trouble to prevent new scars from appearing, and have successfully stopped them! It's mainly my thigh area and lower right stomach. Would I be stared at or anything? What should I prepare for? I want to feel truly free for once in my life and that is why I decided to do this.
Please, any tips would be appreciated and I thank you in advance.

"Welcome to our world." Your profile doesn't say where you are so we can't make many recommendations. The FIRST thing you might do is call them to introduce yourself and say you understand what nudism/naturism is about and you'd like to visit. Ask what their visiting days/hours might be for a first time.
Bring 2 towels, one to dry off with and one to sit on. If they allow you to bring your own food, bring water, snacks, etc. Find out if they have food service and what is allowed after they say it's okay to visit. Bring comfortable walk shoes, slip ons or flip flops. Bring a book/magazine to keep you company till you meet people. Find out if you need to bring your own chair for the pool. Bring sun screen to shield your body from over exposure and sunburn. Don't ask for last names or what people do for a living. That is totally impolite. Make eye contact, don't stare. Looking is okay, but oogling is not.

One other important item you forgot to mention that should be taken is a sun hat. :)

Doraville isn't that far from Serendipity in Cleveland, GA. A GREAT (caps intended) place for a first time nudist experience.
The profile is set to PRIVATE and "info" doesn't show.

I did type "etc." just in case I did forget something. LOL
