Gosh, nooo. How can you all take hot showers? (And all the other people who I know do it hehe.)

I dislike showering greatly. I figured out bathing is the better alternative - fully immersed in water.

And I cannot shower/bath in hot water. When I say the water's hot other people say it's only semi-warm/too cold. I rather have it cold, seemingly too cold for others, but that's really warm for me actually.

Even though I usually intensely dislike heat and humidity, I do like taking hot showers. Not sure why this would be?

I feel the same. I prefer baths to showers, and I like both of them lukewarm at best. Anything above body temperature feels much too warm and stifling for me.

I like warm showers. I find it desensitizes my skin so that I'm not as overloaded afterwards. Same thing for a few minutes in a hot tub.

Warm water FTW
Bath is ideal, but I rarrely have the oppertunity anymore,
so I often just settle for a warm shower (and often a long, warm shower)

I like the water to be hot (too hot according to my parents), and I used to take really long showers, but now I try to be quick because I find them a waste of time.

study In regards to showers or temperature of water, I don't think I've been unorthodox in that form however, my sensation of temperature has allowed me to sometimes endure hot or cold temperatures in certain situations..Still, I suppose all people are different..

I love waking up to a warm shower. I also like to have warm baths, in the evening, when I have the time.

Hmmmm, I like taking long hot baths. But showers are nice, I just don't think I take long ones. Probably because I'm always in a hurry.
