--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a 38 year old man who has been a "closet" nudist for at least 10 years.
By closet I mean going around the house nude when no one was home or when
living in warmer climes, out in my backyard again when no one was home. My
wife, at the time, did not share my enthsiasm for being nude. So I remained
in the closet until the last month or so when my wife and I separated. Now
that I am in my own apartment the clothes go off as soon as I get home. I
find that each day after a stressful day at work that being nude can be
better than a couple of drinks.

I have wanted to attend a nude beach or other facility but until recently
have been afraid to do so alone (partly due to an experience on a beach
near San Francisco) and also in the knowledge that many resorts do not
allow single men. I believe I am over the fear, and am now "ready" to 
venture to a "public" nude beach or resort. I live in Southern New Hampshire
and would appreciate any pointers or tips to beaches, camps or resorts
in the area.

Are there any social activities between now and spring where a "rookie" 
naturist could become acquainted with others? Is it possible for a soon
to be divorced man to meet single women at these facilities?

I love the feeling and freedom of being nude in the house. I know I loved
what little experience I have being outside and look forward to that 
feeling again.
