Showering isn't nessesary if you are low stressed with good diet

[Zeze]

i have never done this in my life, it is disgusting

Pfft medically it makes zero difference. Pee away. You know they're sterile to begin with when they come out?

 

[zinfamous]

It's all well and good until that tiger sniffs you out from 5 miles out and tracks down your stinky ass.

oh, and then there's the whole disease thing, but let's not concern ourselves with that

This only works for Kim Jun Un. He has a diet so perfect that there is nothing for the body to get rid of, so he never has to poop. But also, he does not sweat, because his perfect diet helps the body regulate the temperature perfectly. His skin is actually antibacterial too. This is only possible because he lives in best Korea.

I There's that whole genetics thing too... some people just naturally sweat-stink after 1 day regardless.

Which might explain Shorty's thrice-daily showering...

...peeing.

I've heard that one definition of a gentleman is that he gets out of the shower to pee.

I sir, am no gentleman...

During the winter months I will do the sponge-bath routine and only shower twice a week, during the summer no way, it's hot as F here in FL in August and you will sweat profusely every day, showers are needed every day.

The wife prefers intimate time before I shower, even though neither of us use scented soaps, etc. Nature knew what it was doing when it created the scents/pheromones to drive urge get down and dirty. And has never liked it when I used anything that would impart a scent, saying my natural scent gets her all hot and bothered.

Damn thats an awesome woman - and exactly how it should be.

As much as I can easily get away with not showering every day, I do so for 2 main reasons:
1) My wife is the opposite of yours - doesn't care for the pheromones stuff (including hers)
2) As a personal measure, I "get" the concept of showering nightly - simply because I want to minimize dead skin, dirt, sweat, etc.. in the bed/sheets.

Short lukewarm showers are the best IMO. Not as nice feeling as a hot shower, but much more gentle on the skin and good at cleaning off all the sweat and any dirt or whatever. I hate psoriasis

Next you're probably going to say you never masturbate.

 

[Fritzo]

OK stinky.

 

[spacejamz]

Just because you can (which is still highly questionable in this case) doesn't always means you should...

 

[snoopy7548]

Hopefully not in that order.

You wash your teeth with soap...?

 

[feralkid]

I shower twice a month.

Whether you need it or not.

While I agree you really only need to wash the basic 4 areas, I have to at least shower every other day as I get back acne pretty bad if I don't wash it at least every other day. It's funny, im 52 and NEVER had acne as a teen but now I get it on my back and it sucks.

 

[GrumpyMan]

I would imagine all those body oils stay on your bed sheets, do you at least wash them more often or do they smell "earthy" too?

 

[FeuerFrei]

Body odor starts to emanate after a day. Gamey nuts. Stale sweat. Musty hair.

So glad I don't live in the pre-plumbing era. Imagine the funk that hit you as you strode through the door of some public gathering spot.

Smoky peat fires covered up the smell :^D

You'd be surprised. When humans weren't bathing everything, we may not have had an extensive funk. People get trapped into a constant washing routine these days because once you start with daily showers, your oil production goes out of whack and you have to keep it up lest you start getting that funk on.

Smoke was their friend.

 

[spacejamz]

maybe back then since everyone smelled the same, it wasn't be a big deal...its not like they all had scented soaps, deodorant and cologne/perfume....

 

[Kaido]

They should invent Febreze for Men. Shower in a spray. Fund me on Kickstarter!

 

[Herr Kutz]

What in the actual F. I can't believe how many of you do not take a shower every day. Maybe it's because I'm a native American, but I shower every day without fail if I will be interacting with anyone and 99% of the time when I won't.

I can't imagine that. Mostly because I imagine dying from smallpox in my early 20s after struggling with a polio leg and constant itchy and scratchy from the clap, crabs, fleas, bedbugs, and lice while and also miserably contending with fevers, vomitting, and diarrhea from typhoid, cholera, and shitty water.

 

[dr150]

I don't disagree with you one bit.

It's society standards that dictate that we should wash in full daily.

Personally I agree with the George Carlin approach the most...

""All you really need is to wash the four key areas: armpits, asshole, crotch, and teeth"

Many people wash the ass, but they forget the balls. You need to wash off the piss/fap splatter--starts to stink 3 days in....

One thing OP is forgetting is that if you work out on a regular basis or do pretty much any form of physical activity, you need to shower often. I guess if you sit around at home all day doing nothing, you can skip a day or two of showering.

OP is known for staying at home with no job. Yes I wouldn't shower either if I had no where to go or nothing to do. I on the other hand like to work, today I got covered in fiberglass insulation at work. No way I'm going to bed with out getting that shit off me. Hell I was starving as I skipped lunch but didn't even want to sit down and eat til I showered.
