Bath or Shower?

By Joe

I tend to prefer a shower, though there is something about a long luxurious bath. To me, a bath is an event, a ritual. It’s something that is soothing and relaxing. A shower can be relaxing as well. When I have a headache or back pain, I love to have the waters beat down on me and soothe those aching muscles. Which do you prefer: a shower or a bath?

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

  Now I prefer a shower. A bath is a ritual and I don’t have time for rituals.

  Personally, to clean my body, I prefer a shower. And I agree that it feels good to have the hot water hitting my body. But I do like long, leisurely soaks, which is why I have a hot tub in the back yard.

  Showers are my normal! I could let the stem flow over me for hours; however, as you noted, there is something luxurious about soaking in the tub!
