i stopped showering and refuse soap.

[quote=scaredyclassic]long showers harm your skin biome. youre only harming yourself.[/quote]

I agree.
But what about a shower like being outside in the tropical rain?

[svelte]

Yeah.

I had a hippy chick gf once. Very beautiful, very fun. But she never showered. We didn’t last long. I’ve got my limits.

Not saying you have an odor issue, but she sure did.

BO has to with clothing also. I think it’s very important to wash clothes everyday.

I find Europeans stinky because they don’t wash clothes frequently. winter jackets stink, especially after a night out at the restaurant. That’s why I don’t wear jackets that cannot be washed.

But soap is not good for the skin. Water is good enough most of the time. Use soap sparingly.

Lose weight if necessary. Body fat creates BO.

Im not saying don’t clean. Im saying no showers or soap. If you think about it, there’s nothing magical about a shower. Really rubbing yourself with a wet clean cloth is going to get a lot of gunk off. Your ass is going to be just as clean rubbing it with wet towels as letting it get scalded with hot water ina shower, probably cleaner. Soap is nothing but perfume, dirt is easily removed with damp towels.
I want to know what this hippy chicks cleaning routine was? I doubt very much she rubbed her crotch vigorously with clean towels.

Sniff your arm. Your leg. Does that smell? No. it’s your ass your crotch and your pits that stink. Try an experiment of scrubbing these three areas in the morning and evening with just water and towel and see what happens for one day. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

If only we could go back in time and towel down that hippy chick. Who knows where youd be today. Perhaps on a commune, milking goats, with sweet smelling hippie grandkids…
The other thing to consider and now this is going to get a little gross, is that everyone should have a roll of paper towels and a cup for water to wet scrub their ass with disposable towels. It’s a grim reality that we are overshowered yet our asses are undercleaned. We laugh at the euro bidet, but in reality, we have only the thin veneer of the appearance of soapy perfumed cleanliness. W e are no better than those medieval people who bathed once a year and sprinkled scent on themselves. They had no access to a supple of clean towels made in china off amazon, and im sure cloth in general sold at a premium.

We live in a golden age of cheap washcloths!

You’re so wise scaredy. Soap actually has degreaser as well as oil in addition to perfume. Seems odd or remove natural oils and add back artificial.

The light bulb went on with me years ago. I used to wash my face with soap and that would dry my skin. Now I just wash with water and my skin is just healthy, bright and beautiful.

I still think it’s easier to quick rinse a couple times a day like you would if you lived in a tropical country. Cold water works too if you like. Cloth scrubbing is a lot of work and it’s abrasive. Why do you need all the abrasion?

Excellent point about washing ass, pussy, crotch. My mom taught me well. So many people just don’t wash down there.

I got one of these years ago:

I’m not really even sure how those euro separate-basin bidets work.

I’ve always been quite particular about being clean there. And having this type of bidet makes getting as clean as possible back there less of a hassle.

I’m sure your method works, scaredy, but I’ll take the bidet and the frequent soapy shower.

this is all very new to me. 6 months. i am guilty of decades of underwashing my butthole

i think abrasion is good. like a’loofah. remove dead skin

[gzz]

My back, neck and shoulders get oily and need a soapy scrub every other day at minimum.

Getting all the excess oil off with a washcloth sound like more of a hassle than a shower.

Last weekend I was in well-clorinated resort hot tub for 2 hours and my skin was great afterward.

I just watched this tonight….gotta post it.

You’ll see why I posted it about a minute in…

[scaredyclassic]

funny!!!

I Ccan relate.

i just finished reading A PHILOSOPHY OF DISCOMFORT by jacques pezeu- masabuau. i only understood about 1/5 of it but hes got some good similar but way less funny pokes at environmentalists.

i am ridiculous. i see thst.

i think the takeaway from the boom was that our particular discomforts are our culture. the takeaway from the comedy clip was similar

welp headin off to yoga class.

Haha. The smell of Irish Spring is just too much.
Buy artisanal olive oil soap from Aleppo, Syria to offset a little the effects of war. The factory was bombed and moved to France, but they are now back in Syria.

I know a Jewish guy from Israel who lives in Vegas. He collects the olives from the trees at the HOA and makes pickles and tapenade and other stuff. And I wanted to cut down the trees.

My wife thinks I’m crazy that I don’t use soap on my body when I shower. But in general warm water does a pretty good job rinsing anything.

I imagine you will start showering a lot more when Summer rolls back around.

[FlyerInHi]

I have had dry skin all winter this year.
I went to the pool today and I thought of you. How would you like to soak in a pool of chlorine?

[scaredyclassic]

i suspect that many of us are focusing on showering when really what is more urgent is a thorough cleaning of the ass. How focused are you really in the shower on your butthole? I submit, probably not enough. I have a system now, where I go to town. Paper towels, water, washcloths, wet wipes, midday touchups, I mean, I think we are living in denial that simply stepping into a shower, maybe taking a few swipes at it, is really going to thoroughly clean the poop that may, from time to time, accumulate in that area. Clean your asshole, people of America! Stop taking 15 minute hot showers, and instead, spend one good solid minute OUT OF THE SHOWER working on the cleaning of your butt. You will smell better.
