My First Experience Was Paradise

I have been a backyard night nudist for a year or so and a inside the house nudist for two years. On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, I took the next step and it was easier than I thought it would be. I drove to Cincinnati, OH and went to Paradise Gardens which was my first nudist resort. I did not get nervous until I arrived at the gate 15 minutes before opening. I came prepared, so I took a small drink of the spiced rum and waited for opening. I was the second vehicle through the gate. I walked up to the office, filled out some paperwork and the nice lady handed me a map, said to undress in the parking lot, reminded me of the electronics with camera policy and to have fun. I was not nervous anymore and actually excited to start. Paradise Gardens is only about 35 acres, so I realized it is pretty small when I started walking around. I decided to start by hitting the hiking trails. As I went through the trails, which was very relaxing and cool, and I passed a really nice guy. We stopped, talked a couple minutes and went our separate ways. I continued to the end of one trail and came out in the trailer area. I passed a couple and stopped to talk to them. When the guy found out this was my first time at a nudist resort, he said I was a "cotton tail" because must first timers have white butts. Fortunately for me, a tanning bed took care of my white butt a couple months ago. lol. I continued back to the office area and decided to lay out to work on my tan. After about an hour, I decided to hit the sauna for awhile and then swam in the cold pool to swim awhile. After that, I walked around the resort some more, talked with people and headed to the hot tub. I sat in the hot tub with a really nice couple and we talked for a long time. After that it was back in the pool, more walking, talking and sunning. The day flew by and being outside nude for six hours was exhilarating, very relaxing and fun. I totally missed lunch because I was having so much fun. I talked to numerous people and no one was making comments about other people's bodies or checking out bodies, unless it was done discreetly. There was nothing sexual about being around the others and I was very comfortable around men or women. Weekday attendance is low at Paradise as I seen about 18-20 visitors and maybe a dozen campers, so I am sure that helped. Everyone was friendly and welcomed me. I regret not doing this before today and can't wait to visit Paradise Gardens again along with checking out a few other nudist places. If any new nudists wonder if you can do it, yes you can. Do what makes you happy and I am positive this will make you happy. I was thrilled until it was time to leave. It was much easier than I thought and going on a weekday with lower attendance is the way to start. They are busier on the weekends, so that will be my next goal to conquer. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.
