    Taking a shower together is fun. Intercourse in the shower is not as fun. It’s not easy to do it against a wall, is what I’m saying. That’s mostly just done in movies and porn. What they don’t show is the apple box on the floor for the woman to stand on, or how tiring it is.

    That said, women take very hot showers, and stay in them a long time, they stay in longer if there’s someone with them, often till the hot water runs out.

    Men don’t take scalding hot showers, and tend to get in, and get out.

    So, I’m not sure this makes any sense, or would make much difference at all.

        There are differences in pain perception for temperature in men/women, but I’ve never seen a definitive answer on why. The most common explanation with a moderate amount of evidence is that women have typically higher amounts of insulating fat in the integumentary system.

        I don’t recall any strong studies showing differences in shower temperatures or shower lengths in men/women, but I guess I’ve never really looked into it either.

        Note that there is an actual, tangible difference in shower temps when you have elevated estrogen levels, to the point that its one of the earliest markers of HRT working for trans folk.

        Length of shower is purely subjective, though may have some roots in toxic masculinity.

          Maybe my shower just doesn’t get that hot because some days, all the way hot just doesn’t cut it.
