Well, Kyle, you certainly are getting involved! All great questions. Humm..where to start...
1. I do not call myself a nudist but I do call myself a Naturist. To me, the term nudist means something a little different. Nudism in N. America is about clubs and resorts and yes, at home alot, but not about real fkk -naturism. Naturism is more outdoors, fitness and harmony with nature.
You can read a lot about real naturism from clicking on this link and scrolling down to the section with links about FKK. This is the FAQ on the International Forum. Take some time to read the links there, Kyle. It will help you.

2. Age. Kids are natural about it. They have not been fed the line that our bodies are normal in some ways -- eyes, teeth, feet and evil in other ways -- your usually private areas. So, what age is normal? Birth, actually, but I know you mean when you grow up a little bit in a textile home. I think from personal experience, guys your age and younger tend to experiement and see what it feels like and then, perhaps keep doing it when their parents arent home, even venture outside now and again and then, either drop it, or continue to see it and push it to finally get sociall nude in a non sexual way with others. That could be skinny dipping with your guy friends perhaps, or at a party and someone streaks or something like that. If the feeling stays with you, you eventually visit a N beach or if you are lucky, find someone who can take you to a AANR club for the first time, or visit it yourself. You will get your eyes opened up for sure and I dont mean because of the people who are Nude there, I mean by how NORMAL it is. So, age? Your age, younger, sometimes later. No definate time.
3. Gosh, this is such a general question about oldest and youngest. I do not think there is a youngest and no, laws are there to protect but not stop that. Real naturist venues such as clubs dont have laws about age. As I say, kids are natural naturists!
4. Many laws are there to protect and yes, in the U.S. there are varying laws about outdoor naturism. Some places, its legal. Some places a girl does not have to be concerned about being topfree and in some areas, they do. Our country is behind by probably 300 years on it so it will take time but in the meanwhile, there are naturist venues all over the U.S. and there are clubs as well for families and others. Its a mix, as are the politics of this country.
5. Porn. We are all sexual beings from an early age and no, they dont creep me out any more then a person I know who is on hard drugs creep me. i just avoid the creeps but whats the definition of creep or porn anyway? You know what I mean? To some, hard core muscle bound freaks ramming themselves into some girl or girls (or someone else) is porn. To some, its innocence in the naturist sense of a couple of kids nude on a beach in France. I dont mind sensuality or flirting as we all have that, -- or hopefully do -- but I do ignore the Mr. Wannafuks of this medium pretty much.

Hey, I'm 17, Male. And live in St. Louis, MO. I am not a nudist or anything, however I just was curious to understand everyone's points of views.
I like being naked a lot, but I only do that in my house, I find it relaxing and nothing else, I don't feel that I get in touch with earth but it is relaxing. But this topic I guess isn't really about me, i just want to know why people become nudists. (if you don't like that term, tell me one that you would like me call you guys)
Then I also have some other questions,
1) What age is the normal feelings of a person to decide to go this lifestyle?
2) This isn't important but I would like to know that's all.
What is the youngest and what is the oldest age that have willing wanted this lifestyle? For the youngest, wouldn't there be laws maybe? And for the oldest, how long have they been doing it?
3) LAWS LAWS LAWS! What are they? I understand most places in Usa would get you for public indecency.
4) Porn? and you? Does the porn creepers bother you? or is it kinda meh, what ever?
That's all I can think of right now, but hope to hear what you guys have to say. I am very open to everyone. Lol that is the way my mother brought me up and I love it!
