I’m a D leaning toward F. I Love the heat.
I have to take short showers if I want to keep my relationship strong. I use up a lot of the hot water. We keep our water heater turned all the way up. Out of the kitchen tap it runs about 150 degrees. It’s a bit less in the shower.
I get red patches on my chest from the heat.
As for faces, I never wash my face unless I’m really dirty (after softball, say). Otherwise it’s just water for me.
Between Perfectly Balanced Warm and Hot for me.
Usually C to D. Summertime here sucks with its hot muggy nastiness, so I usually take a lukewarm-to-cool shower in the summer. On the few occasions when I go to an onsen (Japanese bath) I can go in the hot-hot water for a while, but then I have to take a cool shower afterward.
I’ve had to bathe with cold water quite a few times. It sucks.
I didn’t have a modern water heater in my first place in Japan. When I moved in, I had a 50 year old boiler that sucked water from the tub, heated it, and pushed it back into the tub. It had two main problems: 1) The temperature depended on your timing. Too early and it was mostly cold still, too late and you needed to mix in some cold with the hose from outside so you didn’t scald yourself. 2) I didn’t trust it not to blow up and kill me. In fact, the guy I asked to see about putting in a new water told me that it was dangerous and that I was lucky it hadn’t exploded yet. That was the main reason I was able to get the school to put in a new water heater. It still took a couple of months from that inspection, so around December I had hot water. Until then, I had to bathe by pouring cold water over me.
That, and long camping trips have given me my fill of ice-melt baths. Water that’s too hot makes me itchy and sometimes even sick to my stomach, so that’s not for me either. Balance is in for Sleel.
F. I’m a bit red when I get out, and I itch later. But it does clear your sinuses.
