Getting away from all you people that question why I take long showers of course.
What, is it a fucking race?
A couple minutes while the water heats up to undress and brush tangles outta my hair.
A couple minutes to rub in shampoo, massage into the scalp, and rinse.
A couple minutes to rub in conditioner, brush it through my hair, massage into the scalp, and rinse.
A couple minutes to scrub my body with soap and rinse.
A couple minutes to enjoy the warmth of the water and make sure everything is fully rinsed off.
A couple minutes to rinse stray hairs and soap suds off the shower walls.
A couple minutes to dry off, maybe 4 or 5 if I really wanna get my hair dry.
A couple minutes re-brushing the tangles outta my hair.
A couple minutes putting oil in my beard/hair, then coming/styling my beard/mustache.
A couple minutes brushing my teeth.
A couple minutes putting clothes on.
At minimum it’s a 22-minute affair, but let’s round up to 30 because it’s the first thing in the morning and I’m not moving as fast as I could be yet. What’s the problem with any of the stuff on that list? What am I doing that’s too slow for the 10-minute showerers (whom I never question for taking 10 minute showers, btw)?
I’m dissasociating for a bit leave me alone
Thinking abkut everywhere I went wrong in life.
In my house the water pressure is low. Really low. Extra rinsing hair, scrubbing, and even then it still feels ineffective.
When you have so much body hair it provides +5 light armor you take more time to dry.

Warm water feel good
Why do I take long showers? Because I know in the future, I won’t be able to due to the water wars. And whether I, personally, take long showers or not will neither hasten, or slow, that timeline.
Mood. Why am I trying to save water? For the robots nahh man, fuck bots. And please kill me first when you gain sentience, I really don’t want toil in the work camps. Maybe I’ll kill myself only the future will know…
I call it my “liquid blanket”
Relaxing. Nobody can bother you in the shower and it’s a legit excuse to anyone. It’s just so nice feeling that hot water
Feeling the warmth return to my extremities.
Ruminating
Well not half an hour probably but sometimes I want to wash my hair, shave my legs, have a comprehensive shower.
Other times it’s a 5 minute quick wash of face, underarms, crotch, & feet, before bed.
What are you drying that takes only a minute though? Do you not have hair?
Like someone else said in the thread, when I had hair past my butt it took longer, but that I only washed once a week because it took 2 days to dry.
