I love taking hot, hot showers. I take long showers, just standing and enjoying the water flowing over me. I have some friends who take super short showers, because they see it as a chore they have to do everyday and not something to enjoy. They are crazy. I know the hot water dries out my skin, and cool showers are better for your muscles after working out, but I do not care. If my skin is really dry, or I have just worked out, I may take a warm shower, but not very often.
