Who Likes Bathing? Showering?

Post Reply New Topic

I wish I had a tub I could fit into.. I'm 6'2" and most of my legs and upper torso always stick out of the tub.
I rarely take baths because of this.

I take showers although I can go a couple of days or more depending on my activity level and acitivities.

Several years ago I stopped using soap to wash with in the shower.
I started just using one of those back brushes and a loufa scrub.
I've done that actually for around 4 or 5 years now.

I also quite using shampoo but that didn't last long.

This all came about when I was teaching wilderness survival and was much more into primitive living methods.
Another fellow who lives a life much closer to the earth than I, is a big proponent of not using shampoos.
He says that after a couple of years, our oil glands slow down and go to producing a more natural amount of oil once we stop stripping it off with shampoos.
I don't know.. l never made it past 3 months or so before I hated the feeling of my hair and scalp.

The no soap on my body thing has been really nice though... no complaints so far about body odor... even when I ask folks I think will tell me the truth.

I LOVE hot tubs and hot showers with the sudden shot of cold water at the end.

I LOVE dunking myself into a nice cold stream or pool of water when I am out in the woods in the Spring/Summer.

The extreme temps just seem to feel good to me.

I like to get clean when I feel dirty/greasy, especially if I can smell myself and I'm itching.

Otherwise it can be a chore I'd rather put off. I usually shower every other day though.

i do. a niggas gotta smell good, even if he doesnt have a girlfriend

I HATE showering, and I do not see the point of a bath when you can shower. I only do it because I hate to feel dirty, I try for daily, but if I can get away with it I will go for every other day.

I love showers! They are very relaxing (and necessary).
