It makes sense once you understand that there are different types of nudist venues. Here's my categorization, keeping in mind there are exceptions too.
The AANR-affiliated clothing-optional resort:
These resorts are mostly "PG." The rules and policies around behavior are established and often enforced. Nudity is typically only mandatory in the pool/hot-tub. And in some cases these areas are the only ones where you'll see naked people.
I've been to a few and the vibe has definitely been non-sexual.
The AANR-affiliated nudity-mandatory resort:
These are a bit more rare. The rules and policies are typically the same as a C/O resort; with the exception that people are expected to stay naked - in or out of the pool area. Or at least bottomless. I've seen some women getting "a talking to" for covering up too much. Which is why some people find it too "strict."
I would rate more as "PG-13." I've found that when people have to be naked all day; they tend to get less self-conscious. Everyone is on the same level; so the guy who is looking at your naked wife is also naked, and so is his wife if he has one. My wife and I prefer it that way; for different reasons. If she's going to hang out naked all day, she prefers that people around her are also naked. For me; there's more to look at
. Our "go-to" resort is nude-mandatory.
The unaffiliated adults/couples nudist venue:
This is where it gets "interesting." I would rate those "R." The reason they are unaffiliated in the first place is because they don't want to be constrained by a bunch of rules around behavior; with the exception of public sex or harassment. So they're often going to be more permissive. And have after-hours activities (like dances).
We've frequented one (unfortunately it's far away, otherwise it would be our "go-to") and the vibe there is definitely different. You might see someone walking around with an erection, women sunbathing legs wide open; or a guy rubbing his partner's pussy while applying sunscreen. Even my self-proclaimed "prude" wife has gotten "in the mood" while staying there, feeling comfortable sunbathing spread-eagled. At night she also feels more comfortable drinking "more than usual"; and flirting with the other guests. Stuff she would never do at the affiliated resorts. The permissiveness allows her to "let her hair down" and embrace "being sexy" (my avatar pic was taken there). These places are great for couples looking for a more "adventurous" naked experience.
Just one word of caution though. I've been told a story by a guy who was huddled up, late at night, in the hot-tub with his wife and other (drunk) people. His wife suddenly felt a hand touching her pussy; and it wasn't his! One other instance was another guy who told me that during a dance, his wife danced with another guy; who pulled down her sarong and started groping her naked tits. You just have to know your boundaries (if you have them).
The swingers resort:
Definitely "NC-17." We've never been to one (the wife said no) but I think it would be fun to see people banging right next to you. But then I'd have to deal with guys trying to plow my wife; and that's not my thing. No judgement though...
