Nakedness

--- CONTENT ---
Nudity is the lack of clothing of humans and the lack of hair or feathers of animals. Psychologically, in humans, the subjective sensation associated with nudity itself is called nudity or nakedness in the sense of defenseless. The sensation can be unpleasant (shame) or pleasant (feeling of freedom or liberation) depending on the upbringing or circumstances.

The subjective sensation of nudity, i.e. In addition to the absence of clothing, nakedness can also result from the absence of hair or habitually worn objects such as jewelry, wigs or make-up.

Terminology

Naked means first of all the complete absence of clothing, jewelry and objects on the human body. But it can also only refer to the lack of clothing. On this basis, nudity refers to a very broad spectrum of emotions and sensitivities and the visibility of areas of the body that are usually covered by clothing for normative, hygienic or climatic reasons. Nudity is thus defined both by the absence and the presence of clothing, jewelry and objects. Accordingly, it is first possible to distinguish between complete nudity (split (fiber) naked) and partial nudity (semi-naked). Nudity can mean a bare foot whose visibility is not subject to cultural taboos, or the exposure of the bare butt (drawing blank) in public. Even a kilt wearer, if he does not wear underwear, despite superficial clothing, can be described as naked under the Scottish skirt.

Nudity has, in addition to the pure absence of usual clothing, also semiological and psychological dimensions. Psychologically, nudity means, on the one hand, the feeling of defencelessness through the lack of protective warming clothing, on the other hand, the realization of freedom in this regard.
The absence, for example, of a weapon, a finger ring, a hat, or a culturally predefined status symbol, can trigger the feeling of lack of protection and thus of being exposed. Semiological means that the visibility of body parts, which are usually covered by clothing, have a cultural meaning depending on the situation and place, i.e. function like a linguistic sign. It is not necessary for the meaning of the signs to be deliberately reflected. Examples of this are the naked protest, which seeks attention and, in overcoming taboos, indicates the importance of the cause; the speedster at the football match, who demonstrates courage and masculinity; the women who stand beside the battlefield in early Islamic times and show their breasts to explain to their husbands that they will be as naked and at the mercy of slaves when they lose; the showing of butt or genital at anasyrma; the exhibitionist, the other people with
