To get clean I take a shower. To relax I take a nice hot bath.

Been there, done that (in Lackland AFB even). I swear, we showered, shaved, got dressed, and mustered out in 5 minutes flat...


And always remember, if you drop the soap, kick it out....

I shower. Number of reasons. It's quick, so first thing in the morning when I need to be at work or class within a ten minutes, it's a quick fix. They're relaxing for me, especially when they're scalding hot. On my days off, (like today and tomorrow) It can take me about 40 minutes to waste as much water as I possibly can. Usually only in winter since I hate being cold and with the shower steaming it's fucking hot in there. woo hoo.

The important question is, do you pee in the shower, or go for the toilet next to the shower? :lol:

I pee down the the shower drain, sometimes while Im waiting for the water to get hot and have not stepped in yet.

I tend to take baths more often then showers mostly cause im lazy and like to lounge and relax in the hot water rather than stand while it just sprays on you in a specific area.

However, If im pressed for time or I need to clean myself to a degree that I can't do just by taking a bath, then I take showers. Showers are only necessary IMO if you need to conserve water, are short on time, or need to get yourself really clean.

Well, no sense in being a dirty asshole, when you can have a clean crapper.

Why the hell would you urinate in the toilet while you're in the shower? You'll make a mess.

I think anal sex is best done in an uncivilized manner, complete with dirty talk and spanking :)

Showers; usually on weekdays five-six minute showers. Weekend showers are usually later(I don't wake up until 10) and longer.

Nice hot bubble bath, a few beers and a good book.....NOW THATS RELAXATION. Shower to get clean takes 5 to 10 minutes.

As I only have a shower in my bath, I'll go for shower :)

But a bath is the ultimate in relaxation.

And I can't understand people showering in the morning. I'm an evening shower-type. Shower in the morning really kills me...

For me, morning shower = coffee.

It's how I wake up.

Absolutely. It's a much more pleasant way to wake up than drinking nasty coffee, plus my hair is SO much easier to do when I shower in the morning. If I shower and then go to sleep, I wake up looking like Medusa. :D NOT an attractive site. Way too hard to tame that way. :D

Somehow I don't think you shower in the morning for the same reasons, Durandal.... :wink:

Both have their advantages. Baths are relaxing and showers get you clean.
