Men taking showers/women taking baths?

Question

Here’s a question for men and women:

I know this falls into a sexual stereotype that most men prefer showers, and most women prefer baths, and I am guilty of preferring baths.

Gentlemen: do you prefer showers over baths?
Ladies: do you prefer baths over showers?

And if you were to shower/bathe with your sweetie, would you prefer the venue be the shower or the tub?

Just wanted to get us all back to a lighthearted look at the differences between men and women.

Answer 1

i prefer baths over showers, though i never seem to have the time to take one! i like bathing cause it's relaxing and i really feel like I'm cleaner than when I'm taking a shower! the water really moistens up the skins and dissolves dirt better, only when i feel really soaked i start washing with soap or body-wash.the idea that you bathe in your own filth and you'll come out dirty isn't true, most of the dirt remains in the water and what little sticks to the body you will take it off with the towel.

As for the sexual point of view...well it depends.baths in two are usually romantic, you open up a bottle of wine, dim the lights and fire up some candles, maybe soft music in the background.the sex itself it's kinda limited in variety because of the lack of space, so if you're into just sex, the shower is the way to go!!!

Answer 2

I don't really like baths. I haven't had one in... more than 2 years, I think. And when I do take a bath, I find it boring after 5 min.

If I were to take a shower or a bath with my sweetie... Well, for a quick session, shower can be fun. But it can be more fun in the bath (IF you have a large bathtub) as you can just stay longer. I've only done that once in my life, though, but have taken a few showers with my boyfriends.

Answer 3

I take showers, except on occasion, maybe every 4-6 weeks or so, when I like to lounge in tub for an hour or so to relax and regenerate. Showers are much faster, and I feel cleaner after taking shower. I would much rather shower together then bathe together, in fact, I don't think I have ever been in a tub with a man.

Answer 4

Definitely a shower for me...I do not feel clean after a bath...it's like I'm sitting in the 'dirt' I just washed off...not fun. My boyfriend prefers the shower as well. And we are never in there at the same time (or the true reason for the shower would never be accomplished). Our lives are too busy to spend time soaking in a tub (marinating in our washed off filth). And too...I kinda feel a bit more energized after a shower.

Answer 5

I always soak in the tub after a shower. The shower is for cleaning and the bath is for relaxing. There's no reason to choose one over the other.

Answer 6

Nope, I can't be bothered to run an entire bath of water so I can stew in my own filth, so I break the stereotype and prefer showers over baths.

Don't have a sweetie; if I did, I doubt it would include anything in water - in addition to not wanting to sit in my own dirt, I'm an aquaphobe (fear of water), so the less time I can spend in water the better.

Answer 7

I shower, I can't stand the idea of bathing.
My husband however, loves a bath. He'll lay in there for an hour with a 6 pack of beer.
I got my husband to shower with me once. He has horribly low self esteem and won't take his shirt off around me. So, his choice would be neither.

Answer 8

I prefer showers over baths for the same reason other people gave: I don't like sitting in my own filth.

Showers are the way to go.

Answer 9

I kind of hate baths unless i'm dead tired, and even then I have to shower off afterwards, because i get grossed out that i've been laying in my own dirty water.
I would prefer sex in the shower to sex in the bath.

Answer 10

maybe i'm weird, but i HATE baths. I am a shower girl all the way. The last time i took a bath i think i was in like third grade. I am now in my early thirties. Ineteresting question though
