Showering with romantic partners: overrated (lemmy.world)

Recent romantic partners always want to shower together and I couldn’t imagine anything more irritating. How do people get themselves properly clean while someone else is there fondling you? Sure, they can help scrub your back but maybe I need some space and privacy to clean all the BITS, you know?

So annoying. But it keeps the “passion alive” so fine, I’ll do it.

As a bald guy, my showers are pretty darn fast. Abrasive scrub with my fancy soap all over within 5 minutes on the usual, add 5 minutes about once or twice a week for shaving. When I shower with someone else they usually have a lot more involved with their shower and I'm out before they really get started.

I mean, I'm definitely not opposed to showering with a significant other, but I usually let them know that it's not going to be what they think it will be lol

There's also intent to think about. Are we getting clean at the same time, or is it romantic? I'm out in 5 minutes also, if we're getting clean. But if you want romance make sure I know and I can slow down and enjoy the time too.

Entirely about intent! I HAVE dated someone that just wanted some us time even if not physical, then I'd hop out and dry off but hang around while they did the rest of their shower

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
