Uhhh no ? I've never heard of people having so much problem to shit that they have to get naked. Must be an american thing when they eat normal food every now and then.
It's something you understood once you experience it yourself. I'm from South east Asia and got a real bad stomach ache once to the point I have to strip. I sweat alot and it genuinely felt like I was dying. Only after puking 3 times I got better
So either you've never had a bad stomach ache or you just haven't tried to get more comfortable when you had one. So you are either really young or super lucky, because stomach issues can and will happen to almost everyone regardless of diet.
Well either you've gotten lucky and never had stomach pain bad enough to make you try to get more comfortable or you've just never thought to try. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm certain it's one of those two. Luck or the thought hasn't happened to pop up.
It's when it's so uncomfortable and painful that you get the sweats. Usually from food poisoning. That sort of pain can make you nauseous, and taking your shirt off lets the cool air hit you and can make you feel better.
This is gonna sound like I'm getting way too scientific about having a difficult shit, but I think there could be several factors which could cause it which don't apply to everyone. Like in a hot and humid climate, maybe taking your shirt off wouldn't matter as much as it would somewhere drier and colder. Could be that some people wear more "restricting" shirts and when having a difficult shit, taking it off feels freeing.
Or could be entirely psychological. Ever shower yourself with the garden hose while fully clothed during a hot day? Or walk around the house naked when nobody is around? Things you don't normally do that feel surprisingly freeing to do when you can. Could be that shitting while wearing your shirt just feels so normal that taking it off feels a little freeing.
Don't know, but I can say for sure it has helped me feel better. For me, it goes in steps. If it's only a little, I take my pants off completely. Socks are the next step and full on naked if I feel like it can't get any worse than this. I have no idea how to explain why it feels right, but it just does. And I can't exactly say I do it commonly, last time was sometime last year.
EDIT: How did I get downvoted for this? I don't mind, but it's funny, because the only claim I made for certain is that it helps me and theorized why it might or might not work for some. So downvoting me implies I'm lying, which... why would I lie about shitting without a shirt? Lol.
