Personally I much prefer showers, and when I have a shower it takes me 5-7 minutes (depending on whether I'm sweaty after the gym or not).

Someone living here spends twenty minutes having a shower! Personally I think that's a waste of water.

How long do you shower/bathe for?

About 15 minutes for a basic shower where I wash my body and face (the face especially as I use a special pore cleansing wash).

Add another 10 minutes if I need to shave or wash my hair.

Wow that's long. I run out of things to do in the shower after 7 minutes.

Ten minutes. Give or take a minute or two, depending on much I need it. I shower every day with a few exceptions.

i just can't move fast enough to shower lightning speed like you. it takes me 5-7 minutes just to wash my hair sufficiently that my low-flow plumbing can get all the shampoo out with no residue. it takes me between 20 and 30 minutes to clean myself from head to toe. an on-demand shower system with instant heat sure would be nice, but i live in a tin can which itself cost not much more than such a fancy shower system would cost. so i must let the water run, albeit at little more than a drip.

I stay in the shower until the hot water runs out. Then I know that I am done.

way too long, i always shower when only half awake so it becomes a weird combo between sleep and showering.

I hate getting wet so showers are distressing for me - hence get out asap

I sometimes do that, and I consider it a "two minute warning" when the water begin running a bit cool!

Does anyone else obsessively go over whether they've cleaned/rinsed themselves properly once they've gotten out. I was in there for a couple of hours so i must be pretty clean, right?

No, I'm the opposite. I'm in and out as fast as possible because I hate washing.

10-15 minutes. I wash my face, bod, balls and asscrack. I'd probably spend more time waxing my pubic hair if I was a metrosexual.
