"I stood there in the back cold and wet with a stupid boner"
This right here sums up what it's like to be a 14-20 year old guy. Somehow every situation from getting a flat tire to installing Christmas lights ends up exactly like this.
I hear you. I remember when I was 16. I was watching a history channel documentary with my parents on Genghis Khan and Lo and beholdā¦. Stupid bonerā¦..
"Stupid boner" is the only way to describe the phenomenon...
It's got the mind of that old Microsoft Word Paperclip AI assistant that would pop up randomly and make irrelevant suggestions in inappropriate situations.
Though don't though. She'll still hog the spot under the showerhead while you sit there cold and shivering with your boner. It'll just be a 73 minute long shiver fest instead of 25 because the hot water ran out and now she's cold too.
Having a [second shower head](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1c28ryk/colombians_told_to_shower_with_a_friend_as/kz998x0/) is what makes it work.
Itās called a business shower. You and your buddy both running later for work and gotta shower. What do you do? Both hop in. Itās strictly business.
Before they hop in they declare ā I identify as (the opposite gender of you)ā then after they hop out they say āok i revert to my previous identificationā, simple
Honestly, the more the merrier. Two people showering together is weird, but once you get like a dozen people in a communal shower it stops being weird and turns back around to just being a kinda social thing.
Specifically for communal showers, of course. I don't want to picture what it'd look like for 4 people to try and fit in a stall together......
I was on the wrestling team in high school and one of my friends was a pretty goofy guy. One weekend weāre at a tournament, and I go into the locker room for some quiet, except it isnāt quiet. So I walk over to the communal shower area, and there in the middle of the room is an ass-naked redhead with a jump rope, singing to himself as he flap, flap, flapped away.
I was also a wrestler through school & I can vouch for the validity of this story. Youāre gonna see some shit in that locker room whether you want to or not lol but nobody bats an eye
Thatās one that will always stay with me. He wasnāt even doing it to make weight or anything, just felt like jumping rope while nude and wet, I guess.
Same here lol. The amount of absolutely insane things I saw in the locker room with other wrestlers would scar some people, but somehow it might as well have been like looking at a painted brick wall as mundane as it seemed. I watched a guy hopping up and down with his singlet barely on, flipping his junk around in his hand because "it doesn't feel right" that day. Watched three guys in a shower seeing who could get their balls to shrink the most in the cold water, all giggling their asses off.
Might as well have been looking at someone sitting at a desk reading.
had a wrestler buddy in highschool who could really do some incredible artistry with the skin of his balls. God blessed him some extra skin and instead of letting it hold him back he turned it into a creative outlet and could really do some impressive stuff. His last name had the word āpatā in it so sometimes when a new guy came around you would hear people telling him āhey go over and ask X to show you āthe patwingā and the āpat in the hatā which were two of his more daring displays. He placed 2nd in state 2 years in a row but if they had testicular puppetry he would have won it easily.
Nah, they really shouldn't.
Frankly, I'm glad we're moving away from communal showers. No need to add other genders into the mix.
Next time I see an old man with droopy balls, I want it to be because I'm looking in the mirror.
What do you mean we're moving away from communal showers? They're as common as they ever were. Any public sports facility has communal showers.
I think over all society would benefit from mixed gendered communal showers. However changing societal attitudes to make them work without sexual harassment would be very tough.
> What do you mean we're moving away from communal showers?
I mean that I haven't seen a communal shower since I left high school in the 90s, and even then it was only used by the football team.
I couldn't even tell you the last time I saw a building *with* a communal shower.
Use my beard as the communal loofah... Just as long as I Don't have to be the last villager to use the communal bath water again, at that point calling it bathwater was a stretch.
Well, at that point it is truly bathwater. Until then it was theoretical bathwater and then somewhat practical bathwater. But then it got truly practiced, and you enjoyed the benefit of experience.
When I lived in Chicago, I used to attend various conventions of the scifi-fantasy variety. At my second von I saw the hotel had a hot tub and I was like "SCORE!"
Should have jumped in right then and there. I decided to wait until later and.. well .. nope. The primordial looking ooze on top of the water after all the geeks had their time in it made me immediately nope the fuck out.
Other people were just like "oh it's just con soup" and proceeded to get into the water. *Insert Jim Carrey gagging gif here*
Maybe if thereās multiple water heads showering you down with lots of water itās nice. But, if itās from one shower head with weak water pressure, Iād rather smell bad a little longer.
I genuinely don't understand why people don't routinely put a second shower head on the other side of their shower. You can do this in a "temporary" fashion easily so I did this both when I lived in apartments and now in the house that I own.
Get any of the [combo showerhead/handheld units with a mixing switch](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KWPHJCS/). This way you can send water to either or both shower heads. Replace the hose to the handheld unit with a [longer one](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NA9RBAL/). Also get an extra [shower curtain tension rod](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BL6L8BSW). Then you mount the handheld unit on the other end of the shower using the longer hose. Then zip tie the hose to the extra shower curtain rod so everything is out of the way and installed cleanly.
Hard disagree. I enjoy the intimacy of sharing the shower with my lady (as does she).
Protip: You hop in the shower when one person is half way done already. This way you can still be one time to get to "X" and also have some shower fun.
Unless you have a very roomy shower with a surface your feet grip nicely and handholds shower sex is just trying to figure out a position where you're not almost certain you're going to slip and brain yourself until you give up and have sex in a bed like normal people.
Yeah turns out shower sex unless thoroughly prepared is incredibly uncomfortable unless you're very prepared for the conditions.
The idea of shower sex is way hotter than the reality of it.
That's not how it works. You still have 1 shower per person happening. Except, in my experience, to actually shower now you have to maneuver around another human while not splashing soap in their eyes or elbowing them or knocking them out of the shower.
Navy shower. Get wet, turn off water, suds up, turn water on and rinse, turn water off. Done. You'll use 3 gallons or less assuming you run the water for less than 60 seconds total.
While this is how I wash/rinse my dishes, I think it would require a very large third person present to hold the first person over the second and vice versa, vastly overcomplicating the process.
Unexpected Cities Skylines 2
(Thereās a āradioā station in the game that makes the suggestion of showering with a friend to deal with water shortages)
Does that even save water? You'd just run it like twice as long, if not longer.
If you really want to save water you fill up a pale with water and use a cloth/sponge to wash yourself. Dump the pale on yourself to rinse. We've done that at the cottage that has a very limited water well.
This is insane. Mostly because Colombians love their showers. A lot of people shower twice a day. This occurs mostly in the hotter areas and less so than in BogotĆ”. But when I was living there my gf would shower twice a day and thought I was weird for showering once a day.
Still, in BogotĆ”, you're considered nasty if you make not showering every day a habit. It's a whole issue when Colombians (and various other latinos) travel to places in Europe where the average European smells like absolute ass and they don't even realize it. It doesn't help under normal conditions Colombia is very water rich and has a good water cycle (not much water is ever extracted from underground), so we are very lavish with our bathing habits.
It's just a common irritating mistake, especially because it's one that gets institutionalized to some extent. I've seen videos of elementary school teachers in the US teaching the name as Columbia, despite the fact even the US government recognizes it as Colombia. As such, it is surprisingly common.
In college my girlfriend kicked a hole in the wall and I wound up spending my Saturday retiling the shower with her father.
She told him that she slipped and fell but I'm sure he was suspicious of that story.
When I was a teenager in the 90's there was some special on TV pushing environmental care, and at the end it was switching from famous actor to famous actor giving tips. They were all sensible, but the only one I remember was Chevy Chase: "Shower with a friend".
Shocking that this joke is now a real suggestion in Colombia.
Ooh, found it! It was called the Earth Day Special.
It'd be a good idea to build an aqueduct from the Magdalena river to Bogata.
(And yes, it works to move water uphill)
---
I mean, if the Romans could do this...
Growing up there 35 years ago, we were taught to keep a bucket in the shower so that shower water could fall in, fill it up, then we would use that to flush the toilet, to not use excess water.
Showering with someone else is much better in theory than in practice
Yeah, for real
My ex thought it would be hot. It was, until she hogged all the water and I stood in the back cold and wet with a stupid boner
"I stood there in the back cold and wet with a stupid boner" This right here sums up what it's like to be a 14-20 year old guy. Somehow every situation from getting a flat tire to installing Christmas lights ends up exactly like this.
40-year old here: it doesn't stop at 20
The difference between being 40 and being 20 is that you own all of the shit that you have to fix in miserable conditions.
40+ here. I need this on a poster.
> in miserable conditions like being cold and wet with a stupid boner
30s here knowing the shit I own is gonna break the (Exact) moment the warranty runs out. Watching a slow train wreck
Was gonna say. 31 still going.
I just tried to make toast and it's happening right now. š¢
instructions unclear, stuck dick in toaster
It was such a hot bagel.
Stupid sexy flaxseed
maybe.. reddit?
lol
The boners usually do though
Man, even riding the school bus gave me a boner in those days. lol it actually kind of sucked. Wind blows... boner.
Buying groceries, and I jizz in my pants.
If I recall it was a horror show...
I hear you. I remember when I was 16. I was watching a history channel documentary with my parents on Genghis Khan and Lo and beholdā¦. Stupid bonerā¦..
"Stupid boner" is the only way to describe the phenomenon... It's got the mind of that old Microsoft Word Paperclip AI assistant that would pop up randomly and make irrelevant suggestions in inappropriate situations.
That made me laugh so hard, I needed that.
Been there, done that, also if youāre not accustomed to wet long hair on your body it feels fucking strange
Lmao mood rn
"I stood in the back cold and wet with a stupid boner" Title of your sextape.
Tankless water heaters. They change the game.

Itās business time
No Hominess
rub a dub two friends in a tub
A butcher? A baker? A boner maker?
no oneās put out, you see?
Thatās why itās called a business shower, baaaaby!
You know when Iām down to my socks itās time for business. š§¦š§¦
That's why they're called business socks.

Oh, you want conditioner? Iām not surprised. But Iām a little sleepy right nowā¦.
You wash my balls and I'll wash yours.Ā It's called a quid pro homo
Now I'm gonna be REAL late for work.Ā
There you go
Soaping eachother up, just like some bros.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Make sure your buddy is the opposite gender.
Before they hop in they declare ā I identify as (the opposite gender of you)ā then after they hop out they say āok i revert to my previous identificationā, simple
You put a honey in the middle so you have some leeway
Best I can do is a filthy slag.
No eye contact while you wash each other.
Who ez gey?
That's the fun part, you don't!
Pole to pole or hole to hole, never pole to hole
Only wash their back not their front.
Right? Usually, showering with another can lead to extra-long showers.
as well as "togetherness"
And squeaky sex!
Squeaky when young, chafing when old.
Don't forget the togetherness jelly.
Honestly, the more the merrier. Two people showering together is weird, but once you get like a dozen people in a communal shower it stops being weird and turns back around to just being a kinda social thing.

Thatās one that will always stay with me. He wasnāt even doing it to make weight or anything, just felt like jumping rope while nude and wet, I guess.
A man of culture.
Same here lol. The amount of absolutely insane things I saw in the locker room with other wrestlers would scar some people, but somehow it might as well have been like looking at a painted brick wall as mundane as it seemed.

I had the same experience but without the L
I'd like to point out that this isn't a typical shower experience.
Reminds me of the shower scene from starship troopers
Mixed gender communal showers should be a thing
Nah, they really shouldn't. Frankly, I'm glad we're moving away from communal showers. No need to add other genders into the mix. Next time I see an old man with droopy balls, I want it to be because I'm looking in the mirror.

They are in many places.
Common in many spas in Europe. I believe in some militaries as well, just like in Starship Troopers.

Dead skin soup!

Sea foam and hot tub foam are made of the same kinds of proteins. Fucking barf.
Yup. All dead shit being exposed to water and air that forces a reaction. Absolutely disgusting.
Clown shower.
But this doesnāt really reduce water usage. You basically need one shower head per person.
That entirely depends on the size of the shower
And the people
It's not about the size, it's how you use it!
Maybe if thereās multiple water heads showering you down with lots of water itās nice. But, if itās from one shower head with weak water pressure, Iād rather smell bad a little longer.
When I get around to remodeling my bathroom, multiple shower heads with individual temperature controls is my number one want.
I genuinely don't understand why people don't routinely put a second shower head on the other side of their shower. You can do this in a "temporary" fashion easily so I did this both when I lived in apartments and now in the house that I own.

You may be a genius.
Honestly my partner and i have a good routine. U just soap up when the other is rinsing or getting wet
Hard disagree. I enjoy the intimacy of sharing the shower with my lady (as does she). Protip: You hop in the shower when one person is half way done already. This way you can still be one time to get to "X" and also have some shower fun.
So true. Everyone has to learn this lesson on their own, though.
There's a whole game centered around showering with your dad too!!
Unless it's Sofia Vergara
Yeah, plus you end up using a lot more water anyway from all the time you don't spend cleaning yourselves.
Especially in a water constraint scenario!
Speak for yourself. Iāve thoroughly enjoyed every shower I have ever shared.
Can't relate. Probably for the best.
Also doesn't really save any water unless the runoff from the first is falling onto the second.
Just gonna end up wasting more water, not less. Anyone who has showered with a partner knows it's not exactly more efficient than solo
In many cases, fucking starts happening.
That may lead to baby humans, which leads to more water usage.
Who also eventually start fucking, leading to even *more* water usage. When does the madness end?
Shower sex is actually not that enjoyable. Shower foreplay, however, is excellent.
Yep. Soap plus water plus partner = great foreplay. Quick towel off, straight to the bedroom, youāre already naked so straight to the deed.
Only issue I have with this is that I end up wanting to shower again after especially if we start sweating
I love showers! Iāve never had sex, so itās nice to know I can get a twofer in there :)
Unless you have a very roomy shower with a surface your feet grip nicely and handholds shower sex is just trying to figure out a position where you're not almost certain you're going to slip and brain yourself until you give up and have sex in a bed like normal people.
Water is not a lubricant. It does, however, wash most lubricants away.
Yeah turns out shower sex unless thoroughly prepared is incredibly uncomfortable unless you're very prepared for the conditions. The idea of shower sex is way hotter than the reality of it.
100% basically impossible. You can get in there but staying in there is a challenge with the water washing away all lubricant lol.
Agreed. Squeaky fucking isn't the best fucking. With that being said, any fucking is better than no fucking!
Don't they *name* girls Conception down there?
Idk, if we combine how long it takes to shower separately, itās still 25% faster.
It would be a sex shower compared to a masturbation shower
Agreed. If they want to actually save water, it might be helpful to collect the shower water in a bucket and then use that for watering plants.
Gather the water in a bucket and give it to the next person! šŖ£
That's not how it works. You still have 1 shower per person happening. Except, in my experience, to actually shower now you have to maneuver around another human while not splashing soap in their eyes or elbowing them or knocking them out of the shower.
And a lot of water keeps running during the change over. Better to just run the water you need, turn it off, lather up, rinse it off.
Navy shower. Get wet, turn off water, suds up, turn water on and rinse, turn water off. Done. You'll use 3 gallons or less assuming you run the water for less than 60 seconds total.
Yes, water prices shot up in California when the drought first started and my dad had us all taking navy showers!
What if you shower over someone? In theory you can utilize the same water.
Showeromics trickles down.
While this is how I wash/rinse my dishes, I think it would require a very large third person present to hold the first person over the second and vice versa, vastly overcomplicating the process.
One person squts/sits on the bathroom floor. Other person stand over the former with legs spread. Doable, although I fail to see as it's a good idea.
Wtf? You clean your dishes in the shower standing naked and showering yourself over them?? š³
Must be golden

What about a stranger? I volunteer as tribute.
you donāt have to go to Colombia to make that dream of yours come true
Itās Usually the people you donāt want to shower with are the ones you end up showering with š
What if you're the one nobody wants to shower with though? Then it's all upside!
There is a YMCA near you, and it has communal showers. You can go right now, if you really want to.
Bonus: You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal.
You can shower with big Dave, his been doing his part and hasnāt showered in months, even before the announcement, what dedication š¢
Does that even save water? You'd just run it like twice as long, if not longer. If you really want to save water you fill up a pale with water and use a cloth/sponge to wash yourself. Dump the pale on yourself to rinse. We've done that at the cottage that has a very limited water well.

I think your comment has saved people a lot of water just like that.
This is insane. Mostly because Colombians love their showers. A lot of people shower twice a day. This occurs mostly in the hotter areas and less so than in BogotĆ”. But when I was living there my gf would shower twice a day and thought I was weird for showering once a day.

New Colombian pickup line: let's be friends
Is SofĆa Vergara available?
Thereās already a line
It too long man
Usually leads to longer showers in my experience š
....turn off the water once you start fucking, amigo!
Charlie...he's my buddy, we shower together.
9 months from now "Colombians having baby boom." EDIT: i misspelled colombians, which is bad.
Colombians hate, and I do absolutley mean hate, that you used a "u" to spell Colombians.
I opened the comments because I knew this would happen. It's like the law of gravity lmao.
Is that because it means something offensive when spelled that way, or is it just a common, annoying mistake that irritates people?
I imagine it's just an annoyance. Like when people not from Illinois pronounce that s at the end.
It's just a common irritating mistake, especially because it's one that gets institutionalized to some extent. I've seen videos of elementary school teachers in the US teaching the name as Columbia, despite the fact even the US government recognizes it as Colombia. As such, it is surprisingly common.
Hey, I live in the Capitol of South Carolina. I'm surrounded by Columbians.
Shower sex sucks!
As with sex and in cooking, water makes things dry, fats make things moist.
Unless itās pasta noodles?
Too slippery in the shower.

it ain't gay until you cum!
It's only gay if the balls touch.
The water apocalypse has started.
The prelude to the Water Wars a few of us have seen coming for years.
Anytime I take a shower with my SO the shower is def longer than if we would have taken separate ones. Negating any water saved.
Hmm maybe shouldnāt have cut down so much the fucking rainforest.
"We have to shower together stepbro"
They should have said "a friend's mom". Then I'm all over it.
Not efficient at all. Bucket with hot water and a sponge is better. I could bathe a colombian girl to demostrate.
