Female, shower 5-9 times per week, summer and winter, depending on how dirty I feel, what my hair looks like, and whether I’m even planning to leave the house that day. I shave my legs in the shower, but brush my teeth afterward. I rarely bother with masturbation in the shower for a number of reasons: I live alone and don’t need to “sneak” it, I don’t have a shower massager, and the drain in my tub is a bit slow, so if I hang out in there too long I end up standing knee-deep in my own discarded dirt, more or less. My shower is usually the most annoying part of my day, and as **Silentgoldfish** said, if there were some way to get around it and still be clean, I’d probably take that option. There are some days when I enjoy luxuriating under the spray, but not many.

female

5-7 per week

I don’t brush my teeth in the shower but I do shave my legs.

My massaging showerhead and I are very close. 😉

No. As others have said, if nothing better happens in a day, I’d have to re-evaluate my life.

I shave in the shower, don’t brush my teeth there.

Do you pleasure yourself in the shower?

Nope.

Male.

Shower once per day in the morning, summer and winter (and often after exercise.)

No tooth brushing or shaving.

Self-pleasure: once in a blue moon.

Best part of my day: hell no. I’m barely awake.

</div>

Female

5-7. Sometimes I skip on weekends if I’m not going anywhere. Twice a day is almost unheard of. I’d have to do some heavy gardening to take a second one.

Yes to both. I shave while the shampoo rinses out and brush my teeth while the conditioner rinses out. I’m a big multitasker.

No. If I want to be pleasured, I find my fiance.

God no. I try to spend as little time in there as possible. It makes me claustrophobic. Despite shaving, brushing my teeth and washing my thick hair, I’m rarely in there more than 5 minutes.

</div>

_First tell if you are male or female._

Male.

_How many times a week do you take a shower (indicate for summer and winter)?_

Every day in summer (Unless it’s particularly hot in which case I’ll usually end up having to add a second, or really cool in which case I might skip a day), every 2 days in winter.

If I’m working, I shower before work every day, and after work in the summer.

_Do you brush your teeth in the shower or shave?_

No, I don’t shave, and the thought of hot shower water in my mouth makes me gag.

_Do you pleasure yourself in the shower?_

Very, very rarely. Only once in the past 10 years, not very often before that.

_Is the shower the best part of your day?_

No, it’s a chore to get out of the way.

I’m male, 3 to 5 days a week, sometimes I brush my teeth but not often, If I do then it’s normally before or after the shower, it’s one of the best parts but a long bath is even better…I still haven’t grown out of baths as opposed to showers.

</div>

Male, I shower once in the moring every day on weekdays, and usually once over the whole weekend, Saturday mostly, since if I’m going anywhere to do anything that’s usually the day it is. If I’m going out Friday night, I’ll shower again before.

I never brush my teeth or shave in the shower. I need a mirror to shave, and even if they was one in the shower, it would get fogged up, and I have no desire to spend money on an anti-fod mirror so I can shave in the shower, because I don’t want to. As for brushing my teeth? I’ve got to agree with other posters and say that hot water in my mouth feels weird.

I pleasure myself in the shower maybe half a dozen times a year.

Not the best part of my day, but I do enjoy it. It wakes me up, and on cold winter days I don’t wanna get out.

First tell if you are male or female. **Female**

How many times a week do you take a shower (indicate for summer and winter)? **Nearly every day. Sometimes if I know I’m not leaving the house all day, I’ll skip it. But if I’m going out, I shower. Summer/Winter are the same.**

Do you brush your teeth in the shower or shave? **I shave my legs, etc in the shower, but I don’t brush my teeth.**

Do you pleasure yourself in the shower? **Nope, it’s all business in the shower. I’m in and out as quickly as possible. If you’d asked about hot steamy bubble baths…that would be a different story.** 😉

Is the shower the best part of your day? **No**

</div>

**First tell if you are male or female.**  
Female.  
**How many times a week do you take a shower (indicate for summer and winter)?**  
Once a day, unless I come home from work feeling especially grotty. Also, if I’m going out, I’ll have a shower first.  
**Do you brush your teeth in the shower or shave?**  
I shave my legs in the shower, but don’t brush my teeth there. MaxBabe does, and I can’t understand it. She gets covered in toothpaste froth and then it has to be washed off… I don’t get it. That, and brushing my teeth with warm water is a horrid sensation.  
**Do you pleasure yourself in the shower?**  
No. A) I’m usually too busy trying to get ready for work and B) I just can’t do it standing up.  
**Is the shower the best part of your day?**  
Pleasurable though it is, no… it’s not the best part of my day.  
Max.

male  
7-10 per week  
no shaving or brushing  
occasional pleasuring  
maybe not the best part of the day, but thoroughly enjoyable (and not just due to the above answer)
