A good wet wipe is sufficient imo for the areas that see no light. The idea that you need to get your whole body wet as a necessity is not accurate. You are just washing off essential body oils. also washing off attractive pheromones. If anything, the only justification for showering if you meet the thread titles prerequisites is on a recreational basis(ie. it's fun to shower)

Thoughts?

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"

Yeesh! How gross... That must be a super fast wash up! Make sure you wash those odoriferous parts. Don't miss the important ones too.

Interestingly enough, this is the concept of the Mother Dirt collection of products. Microbiome friendly products, with one being what could be called a probiotic spray. Contains specific bacteria (ammonia oxidizing bacteria) that a) help crowd out less friendly bacteria, and b) help convert a lot of our sweat and other outputs into skin-friendly byproducts. The concept is that AOBs are prevalent in dirt and we used to get a lot of dirt on us in nature. We'd often rinse ourselves off but wouldn't scrub soaps all over, we'd just rinse off dirt and then dry off.

Our obsession with cleanliness has meant we routinely strip off necessary nutrients and our good skin microbiome, and replace it with harsh chemical-laden moisturizers that further prevents the growth of the overly fragile AOBs. We keep stripping off the oils our bodies make, the body decides to produce more to compensate, which locks us into a cycle of feeling overly oily and thinking we thus need to wash up again. It is a fact that you can actually use soap and shampoo less often and eventually your oil productions reaches a natural balance. If you use soap and shampoo once a week for instance, your hair and skin won't be nearly as dry and won't become slick with an oil sheen that wrecks our hair and skin.

The frequent bathing tends to mean AOBs have zero chance to maintain a stable population, because they are very fragile due to a very slow growth. They are among the first to be washed and those that are able to stick around then have a very tough time maintaining their ground and rebuilding the colony.

I love showers. It's worth it regardless of cleanliness. Unless I sweat, I shower every other day in the winter, and every day in the summer.

I recently had abdominal surgery with an ostomy bag and couldn't really shower for days at a time. I'm settled now into a routine where I'm showering once every 3 days, washing hair separately. It's winter and I work from home so humidity nor perspiration are issues. When I visited a high humidity place like HK in the summer, I felt the need to shower 3x a day, literally did. Now I can go 3 days without feeling the need for a shower - the sure-sign is when I can feel skin oil on my back and just feel grungy overall. That's not typically 1 day for me. In short, depends greatly on where you are and what your activities are. There's that whole genetics thing too... some people just naturally sweat-stink after 1 day regardless.

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.

Aside from actually getting dirty doing a dirty job, the primary motivation to shower is my hair, which gets oily and unpleasent feeling in about 3 days, so at least 2 shows a week.

Now showering together can be rewarding.

This carries over to we don't use any household products with a scent if all possible, including laundry products.

As it should be. Think of the smelliest person you've ever come across, and then think about everyone being like that daily. Sure, it's a cultural thing, but it's a good thing.

Sure, if you aren't leaving the house and no one has to deal with you, don't shower for a week for all I care...but if you are going to be in public, consider others.
