Recent romantic partners always want to shower together and I couldn’t imagine anything more irritating. How do people get themselves properly clean while someone else is there fondling you? Sure, they can help scrub your back but maybe I need some space and privacy to clean all the BITS, you know?

So annoying. But it keeps the “passion alive” so fine, I’ll do it.

    As a bald guy, my showers are pretty darn fast. Abrasive scrub with my fancy soap all over within 5 minutes on the usual, add 5 minutes about once or twice a week for shaving. When I shower with someone else they usually have a lot more involved with their shower and I’m out before they really get started.

    I mean, I’m definitely not opposed to showering with a significant other, but I usually let them know that it’s not going to be what they think it will be lol

      There’s also intent to think about. Are we getting clean at the same time, or is it romantic? I’m out in 5 minutes also, if we’re getting clean. But if you want romance make sure I know and I can slow down and enjoy the time too.

        Entirely about intent! I HAVE dated someone that just wanted some us time even if not physical, then I’d hop out and dry off but hang around while they did the rest of their shower
