In this day and age it simply wouldn't work. The lady I met was from Eastern Europe (I think Ukraine); and being that she was 40ish at that time (pulling out my calculator), this would have occurred for her in the early 80's. So they probably had one landline and she wouldn't have been able to call anyone to drop off some clothes. But yeah; in her case, "punishment by nudity" just basically turned her into a lifelong nudist.
The closest I came to that was being forced to go to school in my pajamas because I refused to get up on time and get dressed. It was embarrassing enough that it didn't happen again. But that was back when I was very young and I still wore PJs.
Yes I heard of, and been involved with, forced nudity as a punishment. But it has had little to do with nudism and far more to do with sex, so would only be appropriate to comment in the love and sex forms or privately.
I think what the OP was talking about is the removal of clothing as an "extreme" form of "grounding" by parents. I've also heard of some very rare cases where clothes were locked away in order to prevent teens from sneaking out at night; when all other methods have failed. I've actually met someone who was in fact punished in that manner. She grew up in rural eastern Europe. It wouldn't work in this day and age...without resulting in a visit from CPS.
Haha I got caught sneaking out a few times. About 1% of the actual times I did, we were out almost every night. My buddy would steal his dads car and pick us all up. We were like 12/13 at the time. Boys and girls- very fun times. but ironically my prude mom was always trying to find ways to convince me to put clothes on at night…. I would however, dress to go out - maybe going out naked would have been more fun if I could convince the others to go along with it.
