From my conversations with naturists it's generally not exhibitionism as in showing off erotically. Age/maturity can lead to greater self-acceptance/body-acceptance/body-confidence. My body is not "perfect" (whatever that is). I don't have to be perfect - I'm not here as part of a beauty parade. I can have fun at any age - I wish I'd started naturism sooner.
Younger people seem to be more likely to be anxious about their bodies and whether they are being judged by others - they are actually harshly judging themselves. Perhaps older people are less judgemental about their own and other bodies.
