How often do you shower?

That's pretty funny, I'm the opposite, I suppose that makes sense. I don't like feeling dirty, drives me crazy.

I'm with you.   I dislike feeling dirty no matter what it is.  Hell, when I was with my ex, I had to shower before sex and then after sex because it was dirty causing [and dysphoric causing, but the overwhelming urge was just to get clean again]. >.>;

Same here. I've always felt that way. If I get a little bit of goo, or dirt or whatever on me, I'm immediately trying to wash it off. I hate feeling skuzzy. I guess it's just another one of those clues that I kind of ignored for thirty years that hinted that I was trans. I mean, other guys didn't mind getting dirty and sweaty and some even kind of reveled in it, and I never did. I always felt guilty about it, too, though I know I shouldn't have been.

I also immensely dislike the feeling of being dirty but at the same time I have great disdain at the feeling of having my skin wet so even though I feel so much better after a shower I dread the lead up to taking one.

I shower daily - sometimes twice a day.

I may not like all of my body, but I'd rather not smell funky or feel gross.

[Lady_Oracle]

I take a shower every other day. Easier on the skin I've noticed. One thing that's new, is that my skin is pretty sensitive to hot water now. If it's too hot I'll break out

Thank goodness for hrt I couldn't stand my guy stink. Now I love the way I smell.

I just got out of the shower 2 minutes ago

When I was in the UK, once a year on your birthday like the rest of the poms.

In Aus twice a day, more if I'm exercising or making out.

And yes we can tell the tourists by their distinct accents

Ahh! an Ecuadorian!! welcome!

I never forget a European! Which country are you from, you all smell alike!

American woman are easy, they have hair dryers in their handbags.

Hawaiians are even easier, a quick wash and a lai, the tin of Spam in the purse is also a give away.

Japanese always ask for the toilet remote.

Have I missed anyone to insult?

I've always wanted to get lei'd by a Hawaiian.

Every day, sometimes twice or three times. Shave once a day in the morning and wash my hair evertime I shower because if not, I start looking like Albet E. My job pertains to busting butt and sweating profusely for about an hour and then long periods of sitting in that sweat for sometimes up to 14 hours, I can't wear shorts. For me the romoval of body hair is also a necessity. I would rather have ingrown hairs from the shaving than bacterial infections from the hair not allowing the clothing to soak up the sweat. This next part sounds gross, I know, but without the hair I don't have to worry about fungal infections and when I do peel my clothes off, I don't stink as bad.

Same here as well... and again, maybe that is a clue... I HATED my "guy smell" and feeling oily and greasy and sweaty all the time. And honestly, when I originally hit puberty and suddenly started to have to wear deodorant, that was one of my first true dysphoric moments, where it was like "No! That's not me! I'm clean and smooth and pleasant, damn it! Not big and gross and hairy and smelly!" And now that I'm on HRT, I LOVE how soft and clean I feel all the time, and really love that clean feeling after showering. So again, it's usually every day for me, even though I technically don't really need it anymore. There's just something I LOVE about the feeling of hot water and soap on my increasingly-smooth skin.

Cassandra it is about once a week for me also, usually cause I just forget to but also due eczema issues(still don't know how my hands get dryer looking from the water, weird) and much like Crazy off the coast(is that right?) I will think of what I am typing as I do it but then sometimes words aren't there in the final statement/comment.

Every day. I produce quite a lot of grease so I need to wash frequently or I feel gross. That's one potential downside of T -- it tends to make guys produce more grease than pre-T, so if I'm this greasy now (seriously, "greasy" was even my nickname in primary school), I dread to think how slimy I'll get on T, hahah.

I don't mind seeing myself naked. I'm gynephilic enough that I just take advantage of the oppourtunity to touch some boobs, and ignore that they happen to be attached to me. When life gives you lemons..., right?

Twice a day. A full soapy one in the morning and a rinse at night to get off the daily grime.

You can do whatever you want, but I would just like to make a friendly suggestion. Why not just take a soapy shower at night only? Unless you perform filthy activity in your sleep, two showers per day seem to be redundant.

I used to take at least three showers a day. Now, I only take one due to time restraints. I would still prefer to take two. I just feel so much better after a nice shower.

You don't really need to justify it. I was just making a suggestion. The only reason I can think of for me to take two showers in one day is if I get really dirty working out (I work out twice per day) and have somewhere to go where I need to be "proper".

It's just that taking a shower before bed and then taking one when you wake up only makes sense if you sleep-walk in a mud pit or are a very sweaty sleeper.

Much of this planet doesn't have enough water to irrigate land for growing food. And here we are having three, three!, showers a day. Are you all pig farming? I must be European or something. 

DianaP, you make sense. It's not sustainable, or guaranteed won't be.

No, not pig farming. But it was while I was active duty military so I often worked 24x7 and did participate in many, many activities that required me to constantly bathe. Plus, me taking more than one shower a day will not take water away from people on the other side of the planet that don't have any water. The only people it will take away from are those who are farther down the line from me going away from where the water is stored for my local area.
