I prefer hot. Whenever we have out-of-town trips, I never fail to ask whether there is a heater in the shower. The only times I get to have cold showers is whenever there's a power outrage.

Always a hot shower, I have had one cold shower in my life after going on a 5 hour bike ride and I was sweating and hot a cold shower was the only thing that would've cooled me down lol. I live in the UK which is a cold country therefore I do as much as I can to keep warm, even the summers aren't very hot lol.

lol. Our place gives the exact opposite. We need a lot of sunblock for sunburns, especially during summertime. But then, I still prefer hot showers, especially when the air conditioned is turned on. THanks for the response :)

I prefer a warm shower most of the time. Cold is on very rare occasions in summer that I would even consider it. Hot water is rare in my house as someone is always waiting their turn in the one bathroom we have to split so warm is a blessing sometimes.

HOT HOT and Hot all the way and the hotter the better. If I get the chance I will stay in the shower until the water turns cold! But if given the choice I would rather have a nice deep hot bath.

Hot bath is great! Though we only have showers in our home, so that leaves me no choice. Haha. Yeah i get what you mean by staying in the shower so long, it's just too steamy and comfy to stay there.lol thanks for your response :)

Hot, but I prefer baths overall. But I like hot, because hot water relaxes me more.

Hot shower for my body, cold one for my hair. Since I'm always complaining of being stressed and sore neck muscles from being hunched over a long time in front of the computer, a hot sa ower helps me relax and smoothness out any crinks behind my neck. It also lulls me to sleep almost immediately.

Lol. Yeah. Sometimes when I get into hot shower, it makes me feel like i want to sleep, too. The only times I get to experience cold water in my hair is at the salon before I have a haircut. I guess I did enjoyed it, too. However, I'd still prefer hot. Thanks for your response =)
