If the question of what men think about in the shower doesn't completely terrify you, we've got good news. We know! We know what it is!According to a recent survey by Water Pik, Inc., men think about work, sex and daydreams while they lather up, whereas women think about chores, problems and their weight.
Aside from those pesky work worries, sounds like guys are having a way better time in the shower than us. Which makes it weird that we still shower about two minutes longer than men do, clocking in at an average of 14 minutes compared to men's 12-minute scrub-downs.
The study asked 1,000 Americans about their bathroom behavior and also unearthed interesting tidbits like the fact that only 1 in 10 women take baths more often than showers and that a quarter of all people sing while they soap up.
Also, turns out that gigantic, disgusting gobs of toothpaste are our number two bathroom pet peeve. (Naturally, everyone's biggest pet peeve is low water pressure.)
Despite the dubiously commercial nature of this survey, its description of our water woes sounds about right. What do you think about in the shower? Let us know!

Honestly, I do not think about anything in the shower, all I want to do is feel the cold water to relax me.. I lather, rinse and repeat. Nothing goes thru my head at the time. I try not to think, this is relaxation time for me... No time to worry or think about what I have to do. Normally when I am done with chores around the house, is when I take a nice cold shower, especially in the summer time. I take more than three showers a day just to cool me off.

No, we don't. Who are you, George Costanza? I don't think about anything but soaping up, rinsing off, and getting out. I guess that's why my showers take about 4-5 minutes, no more. Also, it just occurred to me that this is just about the dumbest subject that I've ever posted a comment on. I need some new hobbies...

I can't say that goes on as soon as I get in. But at some point, yes. I aim directly at the drain.

Yep, I've been peeing in the shower for years. Hell of alot "greener" than waiting to pee in the toilet and then waste up to 5 gallons of water that could otherwisse be on its merry way down the shower drain. Oh. I also pee into the sump pump hole when I'm playing video games in the basement. Same reason - though I do add some water so as not to leave any unwanted odors wafting in the air.

then you must not be getting to every crack and crevice. And you must not be conditioning and shaving stuff. 12 minutes hardly seems enough time. I'd say 15, at least.
About peeing, what is so gross about it? It is not more gross than most of the scum that comes off of your hair and body which ALL GOES DOWN THE DRAIN, anyway.
Urine is sometimes used as a disinfectant in an emergency when there is nothing else available. And it
