"Three-hour 'everything showers' are better than sex."

[gunhilltrain]

If it's in the New York Post, it must be true. I'm just going to start with the fact that's it's "gone viral on Tik-Tok." When I read that phrase, I have some idea of what I'm dealing with.

Sounds like a rather indulgent use of water. My typical shower is 5 minutes, max.

Huh. Not what immediately came to mind with the phrase "everything shower". At least not for me.

Last year I created a subplot for the sexy troupe in my running story, where during a major renovation one of the FMCs designed a big shower room with all sorts of different heads and spray wands, a "waterfall" head, a "rain ceiling", and a corner tub big enough for six. That, to me, is an "everything shower". Wet room sex scenes are sprinkled (ha!) liberally from then on. We have fun with it.

The installment featuring this is in proofreading after the final edit and I hope to start uploading in the next week or so.

Oh I hope so.

“An everything shower with hot water and Taylor Swift is better than sex. Sorry,” social media influencer Kourv Annon, 22, told her fiance when he questioned the lengthy scrub sessions.

Just to be clear, Taylor Swift is not actually showering with her? Cause that's the only way I could see the shower being better than 'ordinary sex once again with my significant other'.

Having said that, I'm ten years into a marriage and eighteen-year-old nerdy virgin me would have been absolutely astonished at the number of times I don't jump straight into bed with my wife when she calls out to me because I'm still trying to finish a level on my PS5.

On the other hand, if I showed my eighteen year old self what a PS5 is capable of, he might understand better.

(To be clear, I'm not saying this happens a lot, only that my eighteen year old self would be amazed it happened at all)

Exactly, this is such a waste of water only bored people with no actual struggle in life can come up with this shit.

 

[RipleNStllWtr]

They have the wrong kind of sex for sure. I would take a 3 min shower to have 3 hour sex with my wife. It's a strange world for sure.

Plus the fact that a significant amount of energy is needed to heat up the water. I'm guessing that some of these people are deluding themselves that in other parts of their lives they've gone "green."

I like my indulgent showers, but even I would struggle to fill three hours in one if I was alone.

With someone - well, spouse and I once got the keys to a closed sports facility. One hour playing squash, then a few hours in the communal shower with six shower heads raining down... Probably why they then installed those taps you have to press every 30 seconds, come to think of it.

Hah, if Taylor Swift was really in there that might be worth seeing. To digress a bit: not to knock Swift too much, but she's got maybe two good songs in my opinion. Surely this shower lady could think of someone better. I know she's 76 now, but Patti Smith might be an interesting choice (as a singer, not a literal shower partner).

Oh, Play Station 5. I must be older than you are, because I've never used it.

Co-written with Bruce Springsteen, of all people.

I'm so old I barely know who Taylor Swift is. I assume she's someone I wouldn't call management on if I found her in the gentleman's shower facilities late at night (quick YouTube search later...yep). It would make an interested story though - I once used to know a lady who regailed people with the time she shared a jacuzzi with Princess Diana.

Patti Smith is much more my scene. I 'saw' her in Glastonbury back at the end of the 90s, although because we were only fifteen minutes early for the performance we couldn't actually get anywhere near inside the tent and I never actually laid eyes on her. Regardless, the energy coming out of that tent made it one of the most electric performances I've ever see...witness...damn it, heard.

 

[djrip]

I'm guilty of long showers, I even brush my teeth in there oftentimes, so maybe this term applies somewhat, but my hot water definitely doesn't last multiple hours. Or even one. Maybe half.

 

[djrip]

Also, ah, Doja Cat for me, thanks

Okay, somebody of a certain age who appreciates Patti Smith. Taylor Swift's one good song, her first ("You Belong to Me") is a decent take on adolescent delusions. Usually, it's the males with "oneitis," as it's now called (too many musical examples to list here).

Then she has to ruin it in the video version where her heroine (herself?) eventually wears a white dress to the prom and does steal her dream guy away from his cheerleader girlfriend. I keep expecting someone to dump a bucket of pig's blood on her head. King and DePalma were mean-spirited but they present a more plausible version of how the teen world really works. Worth seeing what I mean, for those who care. "She'l never know your story like I do."

I saw Patti Smith twenty or so years ago, supporting Bob Dylan.

Dylan came across as bored, phoning it in, but Patti was dynamite.

She's also a very good writer - her memoir of life with Robert Mapplethorpe, Just Kids, is well worth a read.

I went to see Dylan at the Birmingham NEC about, I don't know, fifteen years ago. I wasn't unhappy at the time, but I couldn't tell you a single thing about the performance now (he turned up and played some songs).

If you're not at the very least masturbating to at least one orgasm in those three to four hours, is it REALLY an "EVERYTHING" shower?

It depends. If you live in a single-family house with a water-heater, that gets depleted fairly quickly. If you live in an apartment house, say six stories up to whatever they go now (80?), those big boilers can supply you for quite a long time.

World's tallest residential building at 131 stories. I bet they have plenty of hot water.

Electric showers are the norm in the UK now. They heat the water at the same rate as it's sprayed out, so you can have an eternal hot shower.

All you still have to pay the electric bill! That is not always so cheap. Usually it's been natural gas in the U.S., but I'm not that up on HVAC issues. Slight digression: New York State Governor Kathy Hochul (I'm not impressed with her) has decided to ban natural gas hookups in new residential buildings. You know, climate change, "go green," and all that. Typical politician: instead of some thoughtful consideration, just issue some dramatic but unworkable "order." Then when it doesn't go so well, quietly cancel it. Or just keep going and damn the consequences.
