When was the best shower of your life? What event/s caused it to be the best?

Asked by NaturalMineralWater (11303points) November 25th, 2009

For me it was after many weeks of boot camp; being rushed everywhere, being tired, hungry, sweaty and bloody… Going on leave and stepping into a civilian shower again was amazing. I finally felt clean again. I didn’t have to wear shower shoes.

What about you? When was your best and why?

Shower sex.

I was homeless for a few months and my sister gave me a key to her apartment. I would go in while she was at school and clean up. If my GF was was with me we would rock some shower sex.

Funny thing. My GF had purple hair. Once we left a huge purple stain in the shower. She had recently colored it.

I never thought about having a favorite shower, I love every shower I take. Right now it is so hot, I would love to have a cold shower. The only cool water is the first blast that comes out because that has been sitting in the pipes and I guess is insulated by the house. As soon as that is gone, the water gets almost hot because it is so hot the ground is hot. When it is a little chilly out (like under 85) a warm shower feels so good.

I was amazed when a recent question was asked regarding how often people shower. Many said then don’t shower on a Sunday because they are relaxing at home. I can’t imagine not having at least one shower every day. I look forward to a shower and that clean squeaky feeling. I never miss a day and they are all good.

I have none. Perhaps there were showers that felt that way at the time, but at this point they’re all just showers.

I broke my arm, and all showers for three months after breaking it were very difficult—getting the plastic bag over my cast to keep it dry, balancing on one foot to squeeze shampoo onto my knee, trying to shave my right underarm with my right hand, etc.

Therefore, when I finally got my cast off and got some strength and flexibility in my hand back, the first “normal” shower was incredible.

Also, about that incredible shower: it was the first shower in which I was home alone in seven months. The first four I was in Spain and living with a host family. My host family insisted that one of them be home to turn on the hot water heater, and they refused to teach me how (showers work differently in Spain). I broke my arm right after leaving Spain (still in Europe) so I had to have friends, and then family when I came home, around when I showered to put the plastic bag on for me. Always having someone home made it difficult to sing freely in the shower, so you can imagine how I belted once I was finally alone.

Not the best ever, I suppose, but when you live with low flow fixtures taking a real shower is remarkable.

My best shower is probably tied between the first time I had shower sex, and the first time I had a shower after basic training.

Yes, sex in the shower is awesome. Love it. But the best ones I ever had, I think, was after the birth of our girls & the first one after my surgery. Sheer heaven.

Showers are almost a vice for me. It is time for me to appreciate my body and zone out the mind… they are almost meditative for me.

That said – an ex and I once had an incredible session of make-up sex in the shower. Wow.

I had this ridiculous day at the beach once. On the way up there one of my friends bought this giant 24-pack of popeyes chicken, which he left in the car while we went down to the water. I got a wicked sunburn but we decided to just start partying- there’s a giant bar there that opens onto the bay and has sand all over the floor, and you can go in wearing just a swimsuit and no shoes because they really don’t give a shit. So we got trashed all night and I spilled a rum-runner all over my cute sundress, which means I was covered in bright red, sticky, alcoholic slurpee-like goo. I put on a jacket to hide it and we went stumbling down the beach to find the car, which turned out to be a lot farther away than anyone thought so I went into the ocean to pee. My friends were still all for sleeping in the car so we finally dragged ourselves there and guess what, it reeked of nasty fried chicken that was sitting in the sun for seven hours. (The dude still ate some of this chicken. WTF, I could never be that hungry.) I threw up at this point, and we finally decided to find a motel. Obviously I stayed outside while they talked to the front desk. Showering that night was one of the five best experiences of my life. I love the little hotel soaps.

A friend and I were riding through Wales on bikes. It had been many days since we had had access to a shower (we were mainly sleeping in sheep pastures, and even the sheep seemed a bit put off by this point). We decided that at the next town, we’d ask around at houses and see if maybe we could pay a pound or two to get a shower. That’s just how desperate we were.

The first guy we asked told us we should just go shower at “the pit”. We had no idea what he meant, but he explained that everyone in the town worked at the local coal mine, the pit, and that we could probably ask to take a shower there.

We eventually found the pit, and went into what seemed like the main entrance. This put us in the mine’s clinic, and we were met by the medic. He was fascinated by what we were doing (riding across Europe) and pointed us toward the showers. They were, as you can imagine, just rows of shower heads in a big tiled room. We tried to look as much as possible like we belonged there, so we wouldn’t end up having a conversation au naturel with a bunch of Welsh coal miners.

On our way out, the medic was so anxious to send us on our way with his blessing that he looked around desperately for something to give us. He ended up plunging his hand into a box and giving us a fistful of BandAids.

One Day, it was hot. and i just got back from work, my girl was on the bed watching tv when i came home, so i decided to take a cold shower, i took off all of my cloths, and i got in it. 5 mins later my girl came into the bathroom and ask can she join. she went in, she was infront. i was in the back.

i grabbed her waist, and said that her body was smooth, we started kissing, rubbing eachother. for like 2 hours, and had sex in it, that was the best shower ever

After 5 days of boot camp – winter – so sweat and mud – that was a great shower!

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@NewZen Yes, I forgot to add winter. It was near Waukegan, Illinois for me… aka Great Mistakes.

NewZen's avatar

@NaturalMineralWater I was speaking for myself.

The best ever, and the one that I will never forget was shower sex with my husband when we first started dating. He lived in an apartment on the second floor of an old house. We were in the shower forever, not realizing that water was leaking out. badly!
Jon’s roommate came banging on the bathroom door telling us that the neighbor from downstairs just came by because she had a leak coming from her ceiling. We were young enough to not be embarrassed about the situation and now have a story we get to laugh about. or brag about depending on the mood ;)

Hmmm. I’m confused by all this hype about shower sex. I’ve always heard any kind of sex in water is overrated and not that good.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@le_inferno I’m not sure if you’re joking but… it’s not hype. If you’re not having fun with shower sex you’re doing it wrong. =D

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

Well everything is just so wet and slippery and… eh hem…

So yeah… after boot camp.. greatest shower ever…

le_inferno's avatar

@NaturalMineralWater exactly. EVERYTHING is wet and slippery, which means the vagina is then not as distinguishable from the surrounding environment. at least that’s how I think of it.

seeing_red's avatar

The vagina, if it’s a normal one, will always be distinguishable. If it isn’t, then please go see a doctor because there may be something wrong with you.

le_inferno's avatar

@seeing_red Aren’t you funny.
I know it’s distinguishable, my point is that I’d think the sex wouldn’t be as enjoyable if everything was wet, rather than just the vag. It’s sort of distracting the senses.

seeing_red's avatar

@le_inferno A vagina will not be as wet as water. It doesn’t even sound or feel the same. The deal with a shower, in my experience, is the tight space. The heat of the water. Holding yourselves up (or sitting on top of him if you have a sit-down shower). Then to have the steam and the water pouring over parts of your bodies. The water, as compared to the wetness of the vagina, is the last thing you’re thinking about at that moment. It’s a wonderful experience, though most people I know haven’t enjoyed it their first time (especially if they don’t have a lot of sexual experience).

le_inferno's avatar

@seeing_red I see. I’m just surprised at the support of it in this thread, because a group of about 7 or 8 sexed up college students all agreed that water-sex isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, like in a pool, hot tub, or shower. I can’t speak for myself, but their opinions confirmed my suspicions.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@le_inferno College students aren’t seasoned veterans like those in this thread. XD

jonsblond's avatar

@le_inferno I agree that pool sex is not as fun, but shower sex is not the same as pool or hot tub sex. The penis and vagina aren’t completely submerged in water when you are in the shower.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@jonsblond Agreed. Shower > Pool or jacuzzi… but that’s not to say a noble effort in both locations isn’t highly entertaining from time to time… =D
