15-30 minutes. I brush my teeth, wash my hair, wash my body thoroughly of any dirt and shave. Plus I love the hot water.

Lol. I do wash every bit of my body in the shower though, as I have a hypersensitive sense of smell, so if there is the slightest whiff on me, I will smell it. I clean between my toes too because I once had athlete's foot.

Another thing - why is it that I can keep the floor relatively dry after I have a shower, but when the other people have a shower here, the floor is so wet afterwards that it looks like a health and safety hazard?

I wish 20 minutes .. but in reality my shower is only like 8 to 10 minutes. It's so cold here that the water becomes cold quick.

15 to 25 minutes. It's the only time I can feel really alone.

15 minutes for a basic shower (wash face, hair, body), 20-25 minutes if I also shave. I enjoy showers immensely, but they take a lot of my precious free time, so I tend to be resentful of their necessity (though I take them at least every other day, all the same).

About 20 minutes... Includes brushing teeth, shaving, etc etc. And maybe 5 minutes of that is shaving chest & upper arms (I'm a bodybuilder, and shave those areas).

Well as far as female companionship I haven't had that benefit in a fair bit of time, but I'm also very used to showering with a ton of other guys. So both I guess :? At least I learned to clean off very, very quickly...

45 min - 1h 30 min usually.

Quickest ones about 20-30 min.

I take more showers than baths, but I prefer baths. I always shower until I'm completely clean before I take a bath as I like to just soak, read, and listen to calming Classical or World Music. If I don't feel like reading, I close my eyes while soaking and listen to an audio book of a book I know well read by an actor or I'll listen to an mp3 I've made of a favorite movie.

Showers last 10 minutes (I have long hair).

Baths last 45 minutes to 2 hours. I'm a big fan of a mix of epsom salts, buble bath, and a little aromatherapy oil.

Jeeze you people must be really dirty.

I take about five minutes. Soap on, soap off. Shampoo on, shampoo off.
Done!

I prefer showers, but alas can't afford to buy one.
I take about 15 minutes in the bath...it takes longer to run and prepare for going in the bath than it does to actually have one, even when I'm doing my hair and shaving my legs...I just don't get the whole thing of sitting round in the bath for ages.

Add another 10 minutes if I need to shave or wash my hair.


Same here 8)
