Nakedness Holding

In BDSM, nakedness holding refers to the deliberate, consensual state of a submissive person being kept naked at the dominant person’s request. It may be used as an element of power, control, or humiliation, for example to emphasize vulnerability, exposure, or objectification. In German, the term is sometimes rendered as “Nackthalten.”

It is important that this only takes place within clear agreements and with the consent of everyone involved. Nudity itself is not a BDSM requirement, but one possible form of roleplay or presentation. Depending on the situation, warmth, privacy, and respectful boundaries matter; if nudity is combined with other practices, those risks must be considered separately.
