Just a case study, to see which method is the preferred majority method.
Do you shower with the water hitting your back or do you prefer full frontal.
Lufa? sponge? or scrubber?
Poll will alow multiple choice

Which direction do you spend most your general time whilst in the shower.

You know what he means. I voted frontal and lufa since I shower mostly facing the water. It shoulda been a poll for how many times a week you shower since I know a guy that showers three times a day.. Seriously, and I usually shower every other day, depending on how dirty work is.

I pick my nose and blow wet boogers at the shower wall. I think this poll is for you to plan your method of attack. I also use my Sonicare and Waterpik in the shower. I pretty much spend the entire morning hanging out in there.

This poll data will be corrupt because of two things:
First, the two choice poll gives you no way to correlate the two unrelated choice types.
Second, there is a third choice that can affect either unrelated group ("depends on if I shampoo or not") that you can select only once.

There is a small chance you are taking an internet poll on which direction you face while showering too seriously...

I just wait for it to rain and run out nekkid. It scares the hell out of the neighbors but the lady next door lingers at the window often.

This is inefficient.
Simply watch and document the schedule of your neighbors sprinklers and you can have free showers for life. Best not to use soap as it can damage their plants and that would be inconsiderate.

infiniti_lineup will analyze the data, hijack the thread, and conclude that its statistically invalid

Sprinklers in Japan? Got to have a yard first.


I usually shower with the water hitting my back. And I usually use a washcloth.

Well, If you were in the shower with someone, I would think many would be concerned about turning around in front of you. ;)

It takes me longer to set the correct temp than it does to take a shower. I hate jumping into a cold or scalding hot shower. So I check and recheck multiple times. OCD???

My roommates make fun of me because I shower twice a day sometimes. I don't get what's so funny about not smelling like arse???

I like the warm water to hit my face and I use a lufa.

My response for this poll:

Before I enter my shower I usually take a few fingers and splash them into the stream of water that comes down from the shower head. If it's too cold I turn the chrome leaver a few strokes to the left; if it's too warm I turn the chrome leaver to the cold right, as a force of habit. Once the water reaches my desired temperature, I immediately jump in (full frontal nude, of course) and see how my body reacts. 95.9% of the time, the water is still too darn hot (damn you finger test) and I have to turn so my backside feels the scorching hot water. I usually endure a few seconds the painfully striking hot water on the skin of my back, allowing it to eventually stream off to my feet and then its demise at the silver drain.

After that endeavor and, of course, the downturn of water temperature, I will proceed to shampoo my hair. My hair is extremely important to what I believe creates my outer exposure, therefore is a serious process that comes with no humor. First, I take my browishly-translucent shampoo bottle, turn it upside, and squeeze until a few droplets come into my welcoming hands. I take half of those droplets and transfer them to my opposite, unused hand. This hand then strokes and caresses my supple hair follicles. Back to the other hand - it's scrubbing the other droplets to the societal-grossing armpit hairs. Quick, back to the other hand - It's still stroking and, my oh my, it's creating an amazing amount of suds. Some of the suds roll off of my head and reach the bottom of the shower floor, the others do as I wish and remain atop my head. I take those suds and scrub the rest of my body - hand to toe. Then, behold the amazing glory of having all the suds and grimy remains washed away from your body, as if you are some sort of heavenly figure being treated to the fineness of gods.

While I prepare for the conclusion of this amazing event, I consider my current mood and reaction to chocolate/nuts (and the nasty pimples that come by with those sweets) that I might have digested a few nights ago in pure gluttony (and a precursory to what may be an eventually lonely and boring life of mine filled with nothing but Hersey sweets). If I so decide, I might use anything from a loofa, sponge, scrubber, to a darn side of a brick to remove the dirt from transactions in days past. I then finish my glorious time with a quick, girlie jump out of the shower to the carpeted "welcome" mat that I have laying a few inches away from the start of the shower tub. If the temperature difference between by body and the now waterless atmosphere is too cold, I may let out a weird whistling noise to distract myself from my possible hypothermia. I locate the body towel that always hangs aloft my towel rack. I pull it down quickly and scrub away at the water on my body until it is most rid of. I use that same body towel to take away the stray droplets that may have formed on my hair as I was drying the rest of my body. Then, I retrieve the face towel that sits next to the body towel. I walk out of my bathroom with it, start rubbing furiously away at my hair until it becomes stiffly dry. Afterwards, I locate my brush and stylize my hair into my regular, and regrettably boring (but what I must admit as being quite devilish, in a hansom way), hairstyle. Throw my face towel onto the lounge chair that holds my unfolded and used clothing items from days past and set the brush along the wood countertops that have fake, yet fooling glossy stickers that have a design of granite printed on them. I then say 'fin' to that day's shower and wait until tomorrow's regretting schedule of shower taking.


So, where's the option choice for all that? :chuckle:

Over the years I have acclimated to ever-increasing water temperature in the shower. It has become pretty impractical to take a normal shower as I end up emptying the water heater in about 2 minutes. I'm working on perfecting a deuterium plasma fusion flow-through water heater so I can take longer, more relaxing showers without sacrificing the enervating heat.

hah....that post would've been hot if he had some big full natural d cups.

you gotta spin around in the shower man, wash everything. hopefully it has a good foot rest so you can scrub the undercarriage.

<---uses old spice swagger body wash because the smell reminds me of Muppet Babies roll on soap I used as a kid.

I like using a lufa, but I don't because I am too lazy to keep buying body wash and replacement lufa's..

So I go with the regular old soap, kinda drys my skin out a little bit during the winter time but I'll live.. Certainly doesnt bother me enough to do anything about it.

I do the back facing when washing the front, and when I'm just chillin in the shower..
