BritChick Paris: I'm 38 and Want a Baby - Is it Too Late?
Ester Bloom: "Men's Fiction" vs. "Mommy Porn"
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!

My showers are only 7 mins long at the most. That's probably due to being in the military, they don't give you alot of time to primp.
I don't have a bathtub or i'd be in it.
And my sons take WAY longer showers than I do. They shower and primp as long as girls do. I'm constantly telling them to get out of the shower and save water. No, they do not pee in the shower, they said that's "gross"

do you know why men sound so good when they sing in the shower? Because they have their antenna outside!

I listen to the radio. One station has comedians every morning. I crank it up and jump in the shower.

First of all, I have to tell Hugh that I love him, thanks to "Who are you, George Costanza?" HAAAAA! Good stuff. Ok...I'm a woman, and I confess I think like a MAN in the shower! Sex, daydreams and...embarrassingly enough, wondering where Mr. Right is, just like that spammer at the top said. (I still hate you, spammer. Just because you relate to the topic doesn't make you any less annoying with your blatant forced advertising...and by the way, pretending to chime in on the topic of choice is similar to the Indian folks doing tech support for a living who attempt to use American slang in order to make us feel like we're not talking to someone in Bangladesh. We don't buy it. BUY ads, moocher!) I sing, too. :)

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.

This reminds me of an old joke where the guy says..."Honest, I didn't know it was loaded...I was just cleaning it and it went off".

i am always waiting for my wife to pop in on me and have some fun like when we were young, but these days its just a fantasy. that is why most married men are so horny all the time. to all you wives, get with it and surprise your guy once and a while, be spontaneous and rock their world!!! if ya wanna keep um, keep it interesting.

I am a woman and think about the same things that this article claims men think about. What is wrong about thinking about sex anyway?
