And that is one of the reasons I will never get a massage.
ETA: I, too, shower naked. Amazing, isn’t it?
The next time I hear someone say, “There’s no such thing as a stupid question”, I’m referring them to this thread.
Next up: Same question missing the last word.
THAT was the equation!
EXISTENCE!
SURVIVAL… must… cancel… out…
BATHING!
Win.
To the OP, I’d ask, “why do people wear clothes?” The answers are (a) warmth, (b) general comfort, and (c) privacy for one’s more private parts. (I’m sure there must be others, but those are the big obvious ones.)
Doesn’t seem like any of these would apply when bathing alone.
Dude, what kind of Garanimal hell makes clothes to wash your ass in?
Why do people drop their trousers when they take a dump?
Why do people open their eyes when they look at something?
True, but it’s also a good guide to producing a multi-page response with no effort at all. Ask the stupidest question you can think of, never return to the thread, and watch people climb all over themselves (me included, I guess) to add their 2 cents.
I’m sure he’s laughing at us right now for taking the bait.
But we’re having fun at his expense, so who cares? I mean, I like chatting on this board, or I wouldn’t be here.
etv78, do you drop your trousers to take a dump, or is that something you stopped doing some time back?
Um…well the next time that you bathe, do it with all of your clothes on. Let us know how it goes. I’m not going to answer the question because it would be redundant after reading some of the responses.
Very thoughtful reply! But to answer OP it’s bit similar to all above. To clean my skin in proper manner we need to remove all covers we are wearing. I am curious now, how do you bath then?
According to etv78s profile he’s confined to a wheelchair. This puts him in a different situation than the majority of us. He may take spongebaths or use some other method of bathing. What we see as the norm may not be so for him.
Because it’s impractical and expensive to heat one’s home to 75F all the time? Though, I’m admittedly wussy about the cold, so maybe other people wouldn’t need it to be that warm to be comfortable wandering about in the altogether.
He hasn’t always been in a wheelchair, and he’s aware enough of his own condition to know that it’s not shared by most people. I’m not buying that this is a real question. I still go with “joke.”
It’s still on page 1 for me. Remember that how many posts appear on a page is a user-based setting. (sorry–pet peeve)
And?
I’ve never gone skydiving before. But not once have I asked why people pack parachutes for the trip.
Even if you’ve never taken a bath or shower in your life, how hard of a concept is “a person is getting into a tub full of water with a spray of water coming on top. I can see why you wouldn’t want your clothes getting wet there”?
To be fair to the OP, there are options for not bathing naked. Many people use a cloth or one of those scrunchy thingees full of soap to wash their bits. Potentially, one could wear some clothing (akin to a sack dress, I suppose) that could act as one giant cloth. You could soap up your ‘dress’ on the outside and rub it all over your body. It would accomplish the job of bathing yourself quite adequately, I imagine.
Plus, there are a lot of body hating religions out there that would welcome an opportunity to exclude another activity from nudeness.
Off topic a bit, but I am struck by how many boys now swim with swim trunks and a swim shirt these days. I don’t think we’re too far away from a return to the turn of the century days when much less skin was shown. Lots more boys in the locker room who never take public showers and change out of their trunks while draping a towel around their private bits.
I think we have found the REAL reason for merkins. Wear one and never be naked again.
