A relaxing shower of mine is usually 15 minutes exactly, but that might include drying-off time, I'm not sure...in college, they got cut down to 5-10 when I was in a rush.

10-15 minutes, depending on if I shave or not.

Some Saturdays I'll stand in there for 20-30 minutes, just enjoying the hot water, and thinking about how nice it is to not have to rush off to work.

depends on how tired I am.... If I'm really tired, I lay in bed and get 2 extra minutes of sleep which I make up for by washing quicker. My showers range from 2 minutes (omg, gonna be late!) to 15 or 20 minutes. And, with my significant other in the shower with me, it's about 10 minutes before we give up and move elsewhere.

10-20 Normally.

30 minutes if I'm sick (the only kind of sick I ever get is a cold, and the steam helps clear out my nose).

25 minutes? Jesus, what are you doing in there?

not sure you want to know

I hardly have the time to shower, even though I work at home. Sad but true. I do it just before I pick up the fiancee at the train station around 6-630pm... so I only have about 10 minutes most days... maybe I should start showering before bed instead.

I timed it the other day, 5 minutes. I don't need any more time in there. Soap up, shampoo hair, and rinse. I prefer to maximize my sleep time, and leave myself just enough time for a 5 minute shower. I also spend 5 minutes shaving at the sink afterwards.

In the summertime I take short, cold showers.

In the wintertime I take long, hot showers.

All depends on how dirty I am.

I usually take 5 mins, to get ready for work.
However if I have been active where I really need an extra shower it can run longer, but no more than 10 mins.

25 mins though is nothing. I used to live with a guy at college who took showers in excess of 60 mins regularly.
He actually took a shower that lasted the length of a 12 round boxing match.

Thankfully we had two showers and he shared that shower with one of my other roommates.

10 to 15+

10 if it's just a quick shampoo, conditioner, soap, rinse.

15 or more if I've gotta shave or wash my hair a few extra times.

about 25 minutes. its takes alot of time to shampoo, deep condition, shave, etc. but a shower is really the only thing that will wake me up, or at night, calm me down to go to bed!
