When preparing to shower, do you turn the water on before you get undressed?

[Jennifer604]

In what order do you do things when you're about to take a shower?

I turn on the water before I get undressed.

I turn on the water after I get undressed but before I step in the shower.

I turn on the water after I have already stepped into the shower.

Who needs water to shower?

Prefer not to answer

[FatNeville]

I turn on the water before I get undressed.

This is how I do it. I put my clean clothes on the toilet lid and my towel on the lid of the toilet tank. I step into the shower (still fully dressed with my shoes on) and put my shampoo and body wash in there, turning the shower on as I step back out. I take off my glasses and place them on the vanity. I take off my clothing. I step into the shower.

The shower I use is constructed in such a manner that the knob to turn on the shower cannot be reached until one actually steps into the shower. I turn the water on early so that it has a few seconds to get the cold water through the pipes so that the water will be warm enough when I get under the stream.

Maybe it's the former math major in me talking, but the distribution of the votes in that poll is pretty interesting to me for some reason: 43% / 34% / 23% / 0% / 0%. People seem to have a tendency toward the earlier options and then back off gradually, causing the bars to look a bit like a staircase, using an inverse image.

[FatNeville]

And now it's 40/35/25/0/0. Very elegant.

... then I tear her clothes off, drag her in the shower, savage her against the shower wall, ... then we get out, have coffee and breakfast rolls or cookies. 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️❤

[Jennifer604]

Perhaps an unnecessary amount of detail there, but hot.

[Bricealan]

@Jennifer604 Well, thanks for that... Glad you appreciate the humor that was intended.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I turn on the water before getting undressed most of the time.

I like to get in when it's nice and steamy, so I'll go to the bathroom and turn it on, then head back to my room to undress l, put my hair up of I'm not washing it, then walk back in. I'm one of those that loves boiling water showers 😆

[Jennifer604]

Nice answer, but why is this question in the Sexuality topic?

[Sirenboobzilla]

Hmm good question. Usually there's key words that trigger the topic to switch. I'd wager that "undressed" might have done it. Should give you the option to ask the admins to switch it to Behavior

[Jennifer604]

Maybe it'll be more popular in Sexuality. That seems to be more interesting to a number of users of this site.

[FatNeville]

@Jennifer604 I'm a bit surprised by the results of the poll thus far. The first three choices aren't really that far apart from each other. And nobody seems to have tried to abstain from weighing in by choosing one of the other options. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this question.

[FatNeville]

And the second option was selected by the plurality of the guys thus far but not by any of the girls.

[Jennifer604]

@FatNeville Hey, that's my word!

[FatNeville]

@Jennifer604 ?
What's your word?

[Jennifer604]

@FatNeville Never mind.

[Jennifer604]

They fixed the topic, but oddly enough I got a system message saying that I posted it under Sexuality when I selected Other when posting it. So weird.

[Jennifer604]

It said, "Please be sure to post your questions and myTakes in the correct topic to ensure it reaches the right audience! "
Well, that works if it actually registers what I clicked.

[FatNeville]

@Jennifer604 Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I asked a question and categorized it under Health & Fitness, but it got posted under Sexuality and then got moved to Other, and I received a message just like what you described:
Do you sleep every night? ↗

[Dinklex3]

Whoops. Meant to choose B, but it depends.
If I’m already using the bathroom I’ll turn on the shower then run to get undressed. Otherwise I’m usually undressed, turn on the shower, brush my teeth, then get in the shower.

[AviatorTom]

It takes a while for the water to warm up, so I turn on the water, undress, go to the bathroom, and then step into the shower.

[Jennifer604]

This is a great answer, but I'm not sure why it has the most likes right now.

[FatNeville]

@Jennifer604, I may have just turned that into a four-way tie for the lead. But I find sometimes the number of likes an opinion gets is influenced more by the popularity of the opinion author than how helpful the opinion is. But I confess that I seem to like the opinions of pink accounts more often than those of blue accounts, though I do quite a bit on each.

[TheorionMage]

My home has an 'on demand' hot water heater. It takes about 2-3 minutes for water to come up to preferred temperature. <3 ;)

[Jennifer604]

Is this a "yes" answer?

[NathanDavis]

I always get the coldest shower I can get...

[Jennifer604]

I'm guessing you have your own personal reasons for that.

[NathanDavis]

the reason is... Hellish, Summer, Texas

[7Phoenix7]

I turned the water on, and brush my teeth while the water gets warm. Then I get undressed and get in

[mandyfire98]

I turn the water on first because it takes a little bit for the hot water to kick in.

[RebelinSteel]

I tend to strip, wander around, avoid cats, turn on shower, let it sort out it’s temperature and then walk under it

[FunkyMonkee]

I step in, turn on the hot water `til it gets hot, then crack on the cold just to keep the hot from getting too hot. Doesn't take more than 20 or 30 seconds.

[nudeNhorny]

I undress way before I even step in the bathroom 😂

[Jennifer604]

The username gave that away.

[nudeNhorny]

😂 True, but seriously though I usually undress in the room before I step in the bathroom (if I wasn't already nude).

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Usually before I take my clothes off, I'll turn on the water for the shower.

[jack1924]

I should torture myself in cold before get into the shower

[Jennifer604]

True, but there are few times when you shouldn't torture yourself in cold.

[jack1924]

Lol. Let me think about it

[Jennifer604]

😂😂😂

[jack1924]

[exitseven]

I turn it on first. My bathroom is far away from the water heater and it takes forever before the water gets hot.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I turn it on after undressing, 10 seconds earlier before I hop in.

[zagor]

I always get undressed before I turn on the water, UNLESS I'm not sure there is hot water, such as taking a shower for the first time in some remote locale with primitive facilities.

[bowenw]

Yes so the water is the right temperature when I step in.

[OtterMan68]

yes, it takes a moment for the water to get to my desired temp

[LazyDork]

Yes. I try to spend as little time naked as possible.

[DarkLegacy]

I turn it on after i get undressed, but it usually heats up very quickly as it is a power shower

[Jennz6]

I get the temperature right in the shower 🚿 before I get in

[Jennz6]

So yes I get undressed first XD

[Kathy1111]

yes i turn the water on before i get undressed

[RedInnocent69]

Usually get naked in the bedroom before I get to the bathroom, but always run the water to heat up before I get in.
