2. Depends
on if I am 'making shower babies', doing a little manscaping, or just trying to get clean.

7. Every Once And Awhile I Scream "CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!"
And I'll treat myself to a foamy bubble bath with candles, a glass of wine, a glass of ice water, soft music.

4. On average....15 minutes.

I love standing there and letting the hot water fall on me. It's soothing for my sore muscles.

But if I were to...um..."relieve stress"....add another minute or two.

I hate wasting water, though. How ironic...

5. Get wet, soap up, rinse, get out.
I pay the water bills so I try to do my part to keep them down. Now my daughters, well, that's a different story

6. Depends. Do I have to shave, or not?
If I have to shave, I'd say about 10 minutes. If not, maybe 7.

Oh, and that's shave my face; I'm a guy. I like shaving in the shower. :-)

10. depends on the season.
When it's hot out, I take short, frequent showers. When it's cold, I love long showers, but only ever several days.

11. I'd spend longer, but I know the worst grooming task in the world awaits..
For me that is drying/styling my hair. I have hair that soaks up water like a sponge and takes FOREVER to dry. There can be nothing more boring than blow drying it incessantly-- waiting... Tends to take all the relaxation out of having a morning shower...

15. Same here
I have long, very thick hair. With small kids, I just don't have time to dry it anymore, so now the only time I dry it is if I have to go somewhere.

12. Typical Velma answer...it depends
On workdays when I'm in a hurry I try to keep it around 10 to 15 minutes but I don't always manage it. I have a lot of hair to wash and rinse out. Plus I'm a waterbaby - I love being in the shower or tub.

After I get back from the gym I usually spend between 15 and 30 minutes in the shower letting the hot water work the kinks outta my muscles.

But at least twice a week (usually more) I get into a tub full of hot water and bubbles and just float. Sometimes I'm in there as much as 2 hours. Take a good book. Some music. A glass of wine. Keep refilling teh tub as it gets cold. Heaven.

14. Over 20 minutes...
Mostly because my hair is so long, I take a long time with it. Besides, I like being naked.
