Ok all, this may be a very odd question for me to ask but I'm doing a paper on Bathing habits LOL (was this or the mating habits of beetles 0.o) And rather then trying to find something even remotely relevant online or going out and getting dirty looks and/or yelled at for asking people in person. I'm going to ask you guys Lol How often do you shower/bathe? What are your reasons for showering/bathing that often/little? How long do you Normally spend showering/bathing? If the Dr's told you it was unhealthy to shower/bathe would you still do so? Please be as through with you answers as you can so i can get accurate numbers and reasons. Thanks guys! ^_^

How often i shower depends on my day to day activities. I generally shower each night if i have to go to work the next morning. (i am not an early morning person, so i do it at night before i go to bed) But if i have the next day off, i will often times skip showering for a day, unless i have something big to go out and do the next day. (i think that takes care of the first two questions) As for how long i normally spend showering or bathing? well, that depends. If showering, they will usually last about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on whether or not i am shaving my legs. However when i DO take a bath (which isn't that often) i can be in there for an hour or more, as i like to draw a nice hot bath, lay in the tub and soak and read a book...if a doctor told me it was unhealthy?..well..thatwould just be weird. I suppose o would have to have some REALLY good reasons why it was unhealthy for me before i stopped showering/bathing...and i suppose at that point i would have to resort to taking "sponge" baths, as you need to keep the excess dirt and sweat off of you somehow!

It depends on how tired i am and if i think I'm going to be able to get up early enough for a morning shower. I like taking them at night, but find when i do, i can't sleep 0.o which isn't never a good thing lol I enjoy bathes and try to take at least one a week ^_^ but i always take a short shower first, to clean off all the dirt. When it comes to showers they are never really long (due to water use restrictions .

I shower twice a day sometimes more depending on the heat,I shower to stay clean and smell good, I do not like to take birdbaths I don't feel clean, shower for me and I feel so fresh and clean,if the doctor told me it was unhealthy to shower/bathe I would do it anyway, 10 minutes I can stay, 5 minutes if I just want to get wet, longer depending on how I feel.

Twice a day or more...wow, you really like to be clean! lol personally, it just depends on what I'm doing as to wither or not I'll take a shower that day. Or if its hot, then I'll shower once, Maybe twice, if we have the water for it(have to conserve water here .
