I'll answer #10 only.
YES. Most of these topics have been covered in detail over the past years. Not many forum readers are interested in writing and reading the same things again and again.
Also, break your topic into 10 different topics, post 1 topic every 2 or 3 days. You may receive many replies in this way.

"Short."
Ha, ha ...

...pretend like it's a quick interview, your response doesn't have to be exhaustive.

Also, this thread is in the NEWBIE section.
When a newbie sees this, what will your response be as a nudist/naturist of this website?

The only one I care to reply to is: "9. Do you tell people that you're a naturist/nudist?"

The only person I have told it to is the woman I was dating and eventually married. Some other folks have found out or suspected, but not through my telling. It is not I mind others knowing (if somebody asked I would confirm it), but being a private person I don't readily share personal details.

I always tell people to just be yourself...only nude! Whenever I'm asked by younger nudists who are just getting into it I basically tell them to just explore and do what's comfortable for you. Don't worry about what other's think! I have a tendency to be a bit self conscious now that I'm past 50 but it is what it is.

1. Seems like the default state, so why not.
2. "Walking around" is the not-so-great part; it's best to be nude where you can do the usual things that interest you.
3. No. I would no more hesitate to look at a person's body than I would to look into their eyes.
4. Imagine that you are visiting another country with a different culture - you are there to observe and learn.
5. Sun, mosquitoes, cold - if you sense a downside, move to a more comfortable situation or put on clothes; they're a useful tool.
6. No and yes. Anything that makes me more comfortable in my body will be reflected in how I use it to relate to people, but aroused *because* we are naked, no.
7. If you have that sense, then put down your ever-ready towel.
8. No. People at resorts and campsites are very protective around safety.
9. No - because I don't like defining myself with an identity. I do tell people we are casual about nudity, and I don't avoid noting trips to nude beaches and whatnot.
10. All the rules have been written a zillion times. I think the best is from Miss Manners: Nudism is a social convention under which people behave, naked, as they would clothed.

1. Why are you a naturist/nudist?

In rebellion against pornographacation of nudity mainly. Other reasons minor.

2. What's so great about walking around naked?

Nothing all that great, just feels free kind of, wearing mesh shorts is little different except for the mental part, back to no. 1.

3. When you're surrounded by other naked people, don't you ever just want to look away? Like with elderly people, for example?

No, I can accept everyone for who they are, nobodies perfect, age and deterioration happens, part of life, starting to happen to myself. Being honest about what and who we are and what condition we are in is good for us.

4. How should I prepare mentally if I plan to go to a naturist/nudist beach for the first time?

Start trying to imagine everyone nude and seeing it as normal life, no lust, no obscenity, no issues, just humans in real life, nothing to hide.

5. What's the downside to being naked all day?

Bug's, cold when it gets cold, vulnerable to briars and stuff, but more positive benefits than negative.

6. Does being naked all day make you more sexually aroused than when you're clothed?

No, the more time spent naked the more normal and non lust inspiring it comes to feel, some even forget they're naked and almost walk out in risky places before remembering, Oh! gotta put something on.

7. When you sit down on a chair somewhere on a naturist site, isn't it a bit nasty to realize that hundreds of bare butts and scrotums have rested on the same chair before you?

That's why towels are universal requirements at naturist venues.

8. Have you ever felt unsafe at a naturist/nudist resorts or campsites?

No, safest place in all the land.

9. Do you tell people that you're a naturist/nudist?

Occasionally when it becomes beneficial, only when it seems they would benefit from the knowledge.

10. Are there any unwritten rules?

Many, but they're all common sense to anyone who's been properly educated in social etiquette, same basic rules anyone would follow to get along with anyone else. And just because nude is different than the rest of society, the temptation to new comers is to stare at those parts that are normally covered, but that's inappropriate, treat it all as if everyone were normally dressed until nude is no big deal to the mind. That is; intentionally ignore the fact the no one wears anything until our mind gets used to it and settles down. Anything different is that way, orange hair, weird clothing, attracts attention until it's accepted as common and we quit paying attention to it.
