me no. usually the water is hot to begin with, and i crank it up little by little until it's almost too hot on the skinz0rz. feels good on the back of the neck.

sometimes in the summer though, yeah. cool showers, not cold.

Cool showers in the summer... only cold when I've been outside for a long time (gotta love Texas summers).

I like the feel of my flesh being burnt off. I would have it no other way.

In the Seinfeld episode "The Jimmy" George says one shower is not enough after a workout and he will be sweating again.

George: "What day is today?....Aw. ..Tuesday! Damn it. I shouldn't have
worked out today. Mr Wilhem has called a big meeting and now I'm
gonna be sweating through the whole thing."
Jerry: "Why. You took a shower?"
George: "Aahhrgh...it wouldn't take...... long pause, audience laughter)
ten minutes from now, I'll be sweating all over again ,I can feel
it. I'm a human heat pump!"
Kramer: "You should take cold showers."
George: "Cold showers? They're for psychotics."
Kramer "Well I take 'em........They give me a Whooooosh."

I tried one summer when I was a kid. We did not have air conditioning and taking a cold shower seemed like a good way to cool down.

I have not done it since....

only when it's 150 degrees outside and i am boiling.

once i get too cold, i put it a little warmer, but not too hot because once i'll step outside, i know i'll be hot again.

Only in the summer when it's hot and nasty outside. The cold water feels really cood then.
