I was requested to post this for someone... here goes

Subject: First time experience trip report.

After five years of trying to work up the nerve to do it, I finally
went to playalinda and spent the day nude.  I wish I had done it five
years ago!  I also wish that it wouldn't endanger my career.  I'll 
probably fail some lie detector test now when I deny it trying to
get security clearance. :-(

I was a quite nervous walking up to the nude area.  But once I took my
swimsuit off all anxiety instantly disappeared.  I thought sure I was
going to have trouble with the E-word (I'm trying to not set off kill
files here :-).  I'm one of those people who seems to get hard at the
drop of a hat -- in fact I am right now -- which always made wearing
Speedo or other spandex clothing rather awkward.  I didn't get hard
the whole day.  I felt aroused from time to time -- from the sights
and from the ocean waves lapping gaily at my thighs (three cheers to
anyone who knows the literary reference there!:-) -- but it never
manifested itself physically.  Add that to your s^x debate and stir
vigourously ;-).

At the end of the day, I didn't want to get dressed.  Once you strip,
there is no feeling of embarrassment.  I loved the feeling of the wind
and the surf on my naked body.  Know what would be neat?  If all the
nudist in FL got together and rented Wet'N'Wild (a water theme park)
for a day.  *I* want to go down waterslides nude.  Unfortunately,
there's not much chance of that happening.

I have an idea on what the nudist resorts should do: put advertisements
in these tourist information centers.  Whenever I visit a state, I visit
the tourist information centers and pick up one of almost everything to
plan future vacations.  Vacationing people are far more likely to try
nudism (playalinda is quite a few hours drive from me) I think.

One thing I didn't like about playalinda was the age distribution.
>From the late twenties-thirties up was well represented.  There was
only a few people who looked to maybe be early twenties (like me), a
few preschool aged children (who were mostly clothed), and one
teenaged boy.  I would have enjoyed it more to find people in their
late-teens to early-twenties to hang out with.  I also got the
impression that most people were somewhat aloof of a single male like
myself hanging around.

I look forward to going back.  Unfortunately, Playalinda is scheduled
to be closed this next weekend though I heard there were some problems
in the vehicle assembly building, so the shuttle might not be ready to
put on the launch pad after all, so it may be open.  When do they
reopen it?  The day after the launch or not till after the shuttle
returns (I would guess in case it needs to land at the cape.)?  Other
than that, I guess I'll have to find a resort that doesn't panic at
the thought of a young single male like I've gotten the impression most
do here on the net. :-(.
