showering

yeah but we prolly got very different life styles. I get exposed to alot through hobbies etc... and when ever someones sick that i know i dont treat them like a leper like so many people do.
 
I enjoy oral sex too much not to shower at least twice a day ;)

My profession means I wash my hands up to 25 times a day and I can't say it has any effect good or bad on how I sick I get. Then again most days I won't even hug my kids until I have had a shower at the end of a work day. Aspirated blood and saliva is not sexay =D

The biggest thing I believe would be touching your face (and mouth in particular) with your hands throughout the day, as this would be the most common transfer route for cold or flu viruses (which I assume you are all fussing about).
 
Ya, i gotta get out of the habit of rubbing my eyes with fingers etc -_- Its just shoving diseases and bacteria in there basically.
 
Lol all these paranoid alcohol product hand wash users. How do you think you're immune system develops anti-bodies to bacteria and what not? By being exposed to it. If you spent you whole life perfectly clean, the first exposure you got to any germ would fuck u up.

Shower once a day, or at least once every 3 days. Wash your hands before you eat and after u take a shit. Pissing is different, there isnt any bacteria in piss and you're dick is generally cleaner than you're tongue, so i wouldnt be too fussed with cleaning hands after u piss. If you're like me and dont piss all over your hands and only hold the shaft of you're dick you're not picking up any hardcore bacteria...

But fuck all the bullshit hand cleansing products. We were just fine before them, they only make you're immune system weaker by not exposing you to bacteria.

Main thing im trying to say: You need to be exposed to something to be immune to it, you're much better off to be immune to something then to rely on fucking alcohol hand wash.
 
I'll repeat, what about washing your butt hole? Surely a person would want to do this fairly often?
 
Showering is overrated. In my sailing experiences we don't shower for weeks at a time.

Hasn't killed me yet.
 
i shower every day, usually in the morning be4 i start my day. i guess i was shocked to read some of the responses where people would go 2, 3 days, even a week w/ out.

to me that is downright filthy and disgusting, but i guess different strokes for different folks.

What about after each time you take a crap? :p I know that Americans only wipe their ass with tissue paper after they poop. This is pretty strange to us.
 
^If I ever build a bathroom for myself it will definitely have an "ass hose" like the ones I used in Asia. Americans are so fat and nasty :D

You mean this?

Cowboy Bidet

The act of hand washing your ass with toilet water after you've taken a crap because you have no toilet paper. Flushing multiple times ensures a good final rinse.
Jim: What took you so long?
Billy: Those McEmployees forgot to to restock the tp so I had to use the cowboy bidet. Then I had to wait while I drip dried.


This one is the best!

I shower nearly everyday, but there are sometimes when I skip a day or two ( hahah hippy) ;-) Usually on weekends when Im just flopping about at home.

I realize something....showering after skipping a few days just feels so much BETTER, you feel cleaner than you ever felt and it just feels grrrrrreat. Just sayin :D
 
We use this in my country. It's a "tabo" or water dipper.

Primitive, funny, simple, but very useful!

What is a tabo? Pronounced tah-boh, a close translation to English would be a water dipper. In the Philippines, it is what one uses in place of toilet paper, and for many tourists may be an item of confusion. Toilet paper is
available here, but you will typically find a large pail or timba
(tim-bah) sitting in the corner of your friend's restroom as well as in many public restrooms. Don't let this frighten you because now you will know what it is and you are going to know how to use it after reading this article! The tabo is basically equivalent to a manual bidet. If you are visiting the Philippines for any length of time, learning how to use one can save you a lot of embarrassment. First off, let us discuss a Philippine toilet. Some flush, some you flush with the tabo. Some have seats, while others are just the bowl.

Are you wondering what to do if there is just a bowl and you need to have a bowel movement? No fear, because you are going to get your answer here. First of all, you do not sit on the bowl, you basically perch on the edge of it, and no worries about getting your clothes soiled, see that hook on the bathroom door? That is for you to hang your underwear and pants on. Yes, you just take them off to keep them tidy. Before you start, make sure the timba or pail that the tabo is floating in has plenty of water. If not, just turn on the spigot and let it fill while you do your business. Now perch with both feet (shoes or sandals on of course) on the edge of the bowl and squat and do your business. Now that you're done with that, we will use the tabo.

^^Kind of extreme advice (we dont have to remove our clothes at ALL to use the tabo, we do not squat that way at all, and we have very modern toilets in most homes) ;) But you get the idea. And also it does NOT replace toilet paper at all..... rather it is used in this order : toilet paper, tabo, toilet paper. Finished. Super clean.
I dont trust toilet bidets...I dont want to clean my ass with water that comes from something that may have been splattered with urine and sh*t from previous users. That ass shower spray looks good though, but its rare to find a bathroom with THAT in it!

Lately I only shower once or twice a week. I figure as long as I don't smell and I don't feel dirty, I don't really need a shower. I have been going swimming probably 3-4 times a week in a chlorinated pool though, so that is kind of like a shower. And I usually wash my face every night.
But I prefer to wait and take a shower when I feel like I actually need it, not just as a routine.

I'm sure you can over shower and dry your skin out. Washing all the oils off and stuff.
IDK do you think girls NEED to shower less than guys?
Idk guys seem to shower everyday where, if I skip a day I don't feel icky or like I smell or anything. 3 days and I certainly wanna shower and wash my hair and stuff.
Is a everday shower a must for EVERYONE? Are you looked down on if you don't?
(I'm talking shower, bath, whatever...full body wash)

I DO think that it's very important to shower as often as possible and keep our bodies clean - especially if your a female. Girls can get bad infections "below the belt" if we don't keep clean down there.

Maintaining a clean body sometimes isn't a must for some folks. I've know of people in the past to who truley didn't care about taking showers. It wasn't because they where on the streets or unable to get to a shower - they were just lazy, gross and careless. Besides, it's totally embarassing to smell like B.O. Nobody will want to be around anyone who stinks.

I simply can't go without washing. I shower daily and love to relax under hot water.

To the OP - if you're unable to get to a shower for a while, please make sure that you wash your hands and wear clean clothes.
