Default Re: I take WAY too many showers and I can\'t stop...

I have very dry skin so if I shower every day I really dry out and I hate lotion, so I shower every other day or once every 3 days.

do you actually know other human beings? have you lived with them? normal people shower once per day. they shower again if they get dirty (working out, yard work, that sort of thing). i can't possibly imagine how somebody could interact with other members of society and maintain the belief that 2 per day is standard behavior.

If most of the people they interact with go to the gym every day, 2 could seem standard.

as another poster said, this is a pretty common way for obsessive compulsive disorder to manifest itself. if this is something that bothers you - and from the subject title, it sounds like it is - i'd recommend seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist. if you have a doctor already, you can start by asking him/her for info. here's a link to an ocd organization

Aaaaand there it is...

What thread would be complete without someone recommending a psychologist because someone else's habits differ from his?

There was nothing wrong with the advice to "see someone if you don't like whats happening"

I like being clean too. In temperate climates though, I make do with 1-2. When I am in the tropics, 2-3 is more typical. Basically, when I wake up, and anytime I sweat. Most people I know who go to the gym in the afternoon/lunchtime are also double-showerers, and there is nothing especially neurotic about them. Asking a question about showering on an internet forum peopled by male college student internet nerds / pre-college internet nerds is going to bias your results somewhat, like [censored] entirely.

i'd say 1.75/day

one every morning, and one after a good shag.

seriously through how can you just go right to sleep covered in sweat/saliva/mucus/manjoose?

I take 1 per day - with occasionally the missed day. But it would have to be the morning shower. If I took one at night, I would have the night film on me - and my hair would be messed up in the morning.
