Why do people disrobe and/or pluck on psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs?

This is a serious question: Why do some people get naked and rip out body hair (especially during a bad trip) when on a psychedelic, dissociative, deliriant, or other types of hallucinogenic drugs?

People are born naked and Probually prefer being naked.. But "society" and warmth keeps us in clothes. Psychedelics make me feel as though I'm in a house for the looney"s .. so I can imagine a person whos truly fucked in the head wouldn't think about it , they'd just react upon their animalistic instincts .. Since psychelics make people delusional the pain is all real , even that itch on your penis aka the reason it was dismembered.

I've pulled my clothes off while tripping because I didn't feel comfortable. I was in my bedroom alone. I don't think I'd do it in public. Never pulled out hair tripping or not tripping, but the people probably do it for same reason. The never ending struggle to feel comfortable.

I'm not sure but overstimulated individuals typically bite once panic sets in.
I think it's a primitive instinct too, almost like a baby rooting, an ODing person will sometimes act feral for lack of a better term.
With Pcp, mdma, and a few others it is because of hyperthermia and they strip or throw cold water on themselves to stay cool.
My blanket almost strangled me on mescaline once maybe they think they are choking?

I have never ripped out hair, but I've gotten naked probably 10 times in the past around my friends while tripping. Nothing sexual, just liberating as hell.

I disrobed once while blacking out on 2g of mushrooms + syrian rue. Can't say there was a reason other than me becoming distracted in the mirror while taking a piss. I must have been staring into the mirror for 5 minutes and forgot to pull my pants back up. Felt like a dream; took about 30 minutes to piece together the fragmented memories, that I had walked out of the bathroom and around the party for a minute before a friend ushered me back to my room. Wasn't sure it even happened until I recovered my drawers in embarrassment. MAOI + psilocybin is no joke.
Not sure if that's the same as disrobing or if I just lost conscious control at an unlucky time. I've never blacked out on alcohol or anything else before so it was a very confusing, disorienting experience. Was not even aware of being nude.

i think that they're just having such a horrible experience that they're looking for anything to make them feel better i.e disrobing

Jayz, Thank you for your input. I wish I knew the psychological cause behind this. I have experienced it one time during a psychotic episode on mushrooms. I disrobed but didn't get fully naked. I was in my underwear in the dead of winter and was trying to rip out the hairs on my arms and under my armpits
Love spirit, I don't think so...
Universe, when I took my clothes off thank goodness it wasn't in front of anyone but with the state I was in I'm sure I still would've even if there was people surrounding me. I'm not totally sure because the whole night it happened is still very, very cloudy and at points I felt like I blacked out or was in some sort of void but I think I may have disrobed because I was trying to distance myself (myself while on mushrooms) from the person (me) who took the mushrooms in the first place. I don't know for sure though... I remember I kept hearing voices in my head saying stuff like, "I told you not to go out late at night." and "You should've never hung out with them." Basically all the things that at the time I thought I should've never done in my life then lead up to me using drugs in the first place. Sort of like the building blocks that eventually lead up to my life where I like using certain drugs. I thought I literally died and was my spirit rewinding back my life from the point I took the mushrooms and seeing everything that went wrong and what I did.
Toadstool, Yeah I think it is mostly due to primal instincts as well.
maynard, Thanks for showing an interest in this thread.
Icon, My bad trip felt like I was my spirit, or whatever you become when you die, rewinding back my entire life from the night I took the mushrooms (it was 3.5 grams of aborts using the lemon tek method). It was sort of like "I" (my spirit) was stuck in some sort of eternal space of my own thoughts about my life and I was in a way reliving everything. I'm probably doing a poor job explaining it but maybe you know vaguely what I'm trying to explain.
I made this thread because I was reading up on deliriants and I read the following, "The delirium produced is characterized by stupid, confusion, confabulation, and regression to "phantom" behaviors such as disrobing and plucking." and it made me wonder why people do such things. I'm going to do more research.

If you find anything interesting please post your sources and findings! Hopefully it could help us help people experiencing this while under the influence.
I am glad you are ok, that sounds pretty intense and scary. Maybe it will inspire you to find a preventative measure and you can stop it from happening to someone else 
When my dad used to hallucinate from hepatic inefficiency and the subsequent renal failure i often wondered why he did and said the things he would do. Sometimes we couldn't help either and it was the worse feeling in the world, I can't imagine what he went through mentally as he slowly died.

I have wondered the same thing for awhile, my guess is they are either feeling very hot and are trying to cool off, as I have only seen it happening in the summer. Or they get the sensation that their clothes are tight and constricting, this I have experienced around my neck which led me to take my shirt off but I'm sure It was mental.
