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

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.

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.

I've been known to spend upwards of an hour in the shower

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.

I usually take 10-12 minutes and it has to be hot/warm.

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.

I like my showers to be warm to hot. But I honestly prefer baths with the same temperature. But I do tend to take more showers than baths in the summer. But in the winter, it's only baths.

I don't know about hot, but I do know something: Showering takes me a lot of time. I really don't get how people manage to get 5 or 10 minutes on that, it is an hour for me, I tried doing it faster but it doesn't work.

I laughed my ass off in that Seinfeld episode in which Kramer gets the same problem.

Outside the shower I am the cold guy, I like cold much more than hot, so you would often meet me as the only guy wearing a t-shirt on a rainy day or those cloudy days in which everyone is 'freezing' that are so typical of this city.

As a matter of fact, most of the times I wear a jacket or a sweater it is not that I am cold but the intention is to avoid comments from family members or people when they see me on light clothing. With time I noticed me wearing light clothes makes them feel colder...
