1. From a European perspective, and as a naturist for over 20 years, the majority of naturists would be 50+
That's much to do with them now being empty-nesters and able to indulge in something that they've maybe wanted to do their entire adult lives but the issue of earning a living, raising a family and so on gets in the way. The average age of Spanish and French naturists might be lower, 30s-40s, as any I've spoken to have grown up with that way of life.
2. If you're sneaking photos, expect to get thrown out and rightly so. There's a gender imbalance to naturism, it's much more attractive to males, and it's hard to get ladies to strip off to create a better balance. And it they're minded that someone is taking sneaky photos, who can blame them? Besides, it's all about being in the moment, not living the naturist experience second hand through a phone or camera lens.
3. Naturism is a magnet for gay people, men mostly, so expect there to be some emphasis on the gay lifestyle (i.e. certain bars bedecked in the rainbow flag, etc). They'll not be flaunting their sexuality, other than being drawn to certain locations. There's exceptions. Cap D'Agde in France is one where (hetero)sexuality is very much front and centre, but I wouldn't consider that to be a genuine naturist location any longer.
