My Photographic dilemma

When I was young (between 10 and 15) I went skinny dipping with a group of similar aged childen and ever since I have been keen on nudism until recently (now 73) I have had no opportunity to practice. Although I have always slept nude.I am now looking for nudist friends to practice nudism both male and female. My main interest in females is to photograph in artistic poses without showing sexual organs, this is because nudism should not be about sex. the problem I have is that I cannot get and female to pose for me as they seem to think I have sexual motives. Some have said yes but not yet materialised, so I would even be happy to photograph a female and she is welcome to have a chaperone . Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?
