dispatched it quick

So much for that ailment---it's effectively over, I reckon.

My appetite is back, too. With a vengeance.

Need a shower. Looking forward to it. Must remember to run by the library on the way home. Then eat something. Then the shower.

vjsmom, to my eternal consternation, has no appreciation for the indulgent long hot shower. I thought for a minute that maybe it came from having to zip in & out when there was an infant or toddler in the house, but she reported that she's never really gotten into it. Do you? I do.

And I'm going to get into it tonight.

Different from bathtub indulgence. Another thing entirely.

I'm put in mind of the old days of trying to have a bottle of that green bath gel on hand. What the hell was it called. A DKD thing. 'Twas twenty bucks a bottle, in yer fine dept stores, 'cept I did find it on super sale in KS once, and LTM once gave me a bottle of it. That stuff smelled great.

Got it.

in and out. if i think i am going to take a long, hot shower -- then maybe i'll be in there five minutes. does nothing for me. long baths are also out.

Long hot showers are heavenly.

I don't know how anyone can stand to ever take a single shower that isn't at least 15 minutes long and boiling hot. I certainly can't.

Showers or baths... I like 'em both. They are entirely different, I agree. For me, showers are better when I want to wake up or get refreshed before going out somewhere, but baths are better when I want to wind down and just relax, often at the very end of the day. I like both quite warm. I don't aim for boiling, but sometimes I forget how warm it is until I get out and see that I've turned all pink.

Ah--yes--the long, hot bath. now that I did used to like. As long as the tub was really clean (I am, after all, OCD). If I were really doing it up right, I'd take a bubbly hot bath in a candlelit bathroom with soft music and (back in "the day") wine. Cliche but relaxing.

I think that my distaste for the long shower comes from my compulsive need to be getting on with stuff, and I'm usually showering before going out somwhere. Now a long shower for two . . . (as long as the shower is really really clean) . . .

To me, shower sex is of limited appeal. With women, anyway. Good for fore- or after-play, I guess, or whatever better terms one might use there. And just mutual showering play, okay, sure. Haven't yet had shower sex with a man.

Bathtub sex, better with a woman? Also, haven't done that with a man. I guess it all depends what sort of activity you're engaging in, gender regardless.

i'm reconsidering baths as well now that i know that i may not in fact be the capital of the candid kingdom.

showers -- longish and hottish. it's not good for the skin that way, but my muscles like it.

ahh... gotcha now.

Delighted to hear that you're feeling better!

Oh, and no. I've never been a fan of the long, hot shower either. I take lukewarm to cool showers and like to get them over with before I get horribly knifed.

But you know, I have issues...

MMMM...long, hot showers are quite loverly and quite necessary at times. I like to get in when they are tepid, and then slowly turn down the cold water until I'm almost scalded then turn the cold back on just a sliver more. Oh...and I run my hot water heater at about 180-200 degrees, so I don't have to boil water in my house....just comes out hot enough for tea or cocoa. My morning showers are a ritualistic 8-10 minute bathing gesture...Long, relaxing showers come out to be about 30 minutes...I haven't found a bath tub big enough to take a bath in in a LONG time. When I did, I liked staying in far past the "pruning point."

BTW...I'm having a party...shoot me an email at my address in my info page and I'll send you the invite. I don't have your email address yet.

My hot water heater, sadly, doesn't give the degrees. It has "hot", "warm" and "vacation", with a few points in between.
