I haven't thought to take a bath in a long time...last time was probably 4-5 years ago with the girlie at the time.

My parents have a jacuzzi in their bathroom in addition to the shower and my dad has made it his weekend retreat...he'll be in their hours at a time when he's not working :p

I haven't taken a "bath" in nearly 20 years, but I do take 1 or 2 showers daily depending if I am going out after work or not...

Only thing that sucks is that because of my skin type, and the way I dress, I always have a homeless dirty look to myself. :(

bath w/ someone of the opposite sex is good.

but, taking a bath by myself is rather weird to me. i never feel clean after.....haven't done it in a looooong time. didn't Jerry Seinfeld call it a "bacteria frap"? :D

The other way around usually for me. The tub's overflow valve seems too low, so a slow constant run of clean water is always in effect.

Baths are great for relaxing, although in my 3+ years in our house I've never opted for one over a shower.

I'd feel like the Big Lebowski if I did :p

I never have the time for baths. I usually would rather be relaxing doing something else anyway.

Kramer: "I just took a bath, Jerry. A bath!"
Jerry: "No good?"
Kramer: "It's disgusting. I'm sitting there in a tepid pool of my own filth. All kinds of microscopic parasites and organisms having sex all around me."

I like hot baths... but I hate searing my boys. My solution to this was using disposable bowls with ice water and covering them up.

Gross, I know... but alot better than nut burn.

Nope, I never take a bath, just showers.

Though when my wife and I went on our honeymoon about a month ago our bed & breakfast had a hot tub bath thing that we used nightly.

You have some serious problems if your getting 'nut burn' from a freaking warm bath.

Anyways I don't like it usually, but if you sprain your leg, arm etc. etc. or get injured moderately a bath feels great.

Just cover them with your hands until they are adjusted to the water temp.

I'm pretty much set in my ways on this one.

The hotter the bath... the better. Just not for staff seargant Peter and the cherry berries..

for women. i have no patience for bath... even after some hard strneous activity when my body's beat, and i go into my whirlpool tub... i feel like i should be doing something. i prefer a quick shower, and then crashing on the couch feeling fresh, than crashing in the tub. maybe if the tub was ergo and i had a LCD tv built flush into the walls...

I bring my laptop in with me, along with a glass of wine or alcohol (rum and coke), and watch movies.
Of course the laptop is sitting on the toilet and no where near water.

Oh okay.
I take scalding baths, the kind that leave you bright red when you get out. And I always just cover the whole package up for a few minutes until I am adjusted.
Maybe I will try your idea.

No. I only takes showers.

Edit:
Any guy who loves a bath should turn in his man card right now.

Of course the exception is if you have another person of the other gender in there with you too.
