Just to be that guy....
*technically* in order for hot water to be any more sanitary than cold water, it has to be so hot it is above scalding for skin. So the notion of using really hot water for cleaning things like dishes etc is kind of a myth.
However things do dissolve better in hot water, which why it just works better from a mechanical standpoint.
So... are you covered in mud? Then yes. Cranker 'er up.

Anyway this is what I tell my wife, who believes the shower should be 200-something degrees and that humans should just not have skin left after bathing.

I always understood it as warm water opens the skin pores to release more trapped dirt and toxins.
 
Unless we're arguing or I have garage chemicals on me, we shower together all the time. In our bathroom renovation plans either a waterfall ceiling or dual shower heads is planned. About the only uninterrupted time we get is in there.
 
Coincidentally...this is how I know my mom and grandmother didn’t have Facebook in 2008...

Nope.
Just the physics of heat helping melt oils and the loosen stuff.

Do Pores Open Wider in Hot Water?

You may have heard that hot water or steam can open up pores on your face, making it easier to clear out blackheads. But do your pores even have the physical capability to open?

For the face, understandably, but I wash more than my face in the shower.

I've probably just been doing it all wrong then.

So if heat does melt oils and loosen grime, isn't that what washing was intended to do?
 
We have a "Roman" shower but I have never seen any Romans in it. Its a walk in with dual heads, we always shower together. When we are out of town we take turns under the nozzle adjusting the temp as we go under the water stream.
 
Shower now with the GF pretty much every day we are together, one shower head so we take turns in the water.

I'm with some of yall on the bathroom time though, If I'm sitting on the toilet I don't want her in there and vice versa.

My kids are 7 and 5, I tell them I'm going to get a shower so they need to stay out here and play or eat or whatever and they almost never come knocking on the door.

Amen to that. We used to shower/bathe together all the time...and then a second time to get clean again. Probably why we have 3 kids in such a short amount of time. However, with the brilliant thought of just locking the door, then we wind up with a 4yr old knocking on the door...'mommy what are you doing, pooping???'...'ok you're not pooping, daddy are you pooping'. And if that doesn't take the steam out of the shower, a 2.5 year old is now interested in making the same noise her sister is, and they both think it's fun, so we have two children knocking on the door. And if I've eaten my wheaties that day, so I take an extra 30 seconds...it kinda freaks you out when you start seeing fingers under the door and you realize your kids are peaking under the door and start yelling 'peek-a-boo'. Heaven forbid you make any noise.

this made me laugh way too hard.

Pressed for time currently but I need to post the story about "taking the head off the rubber chicken" and how that killed sexy time...
 
Very rarely do we take a shower together. I bet once a year at best. It's more on a pain in the ass than it's worth with a regular shower/tub. Last house had a 5x5 glass shower with two heads. We did every now and then there.

Of me showering not with my SO?

I mean, if you really want it... but I feel like that will Garage this thread with a quickness
 
Ok so of those that do shower together, is there a no farting rule? Shower farts always smell worse than normal fart.

FWIW it was my wife that wants to know if anyone else has that rule. I read her this entire thread and she was laughing her ass off.

Who doesn't love a good, boiled shower fart?

The worst thing is when you have to drop a growler right after showering. At that point, I want to go to bed, start my whole day over, and call a Mulligan.
 
You don't have to waffle stomp a liquid, but it's impressive when you can leave skid marks from schwater!
