The man shower is taken in a very short
time period, usually 2-4 minutes. It involves a cursory washing of the bare essentials needed for the male body to be minimally clean: hair, armpits,
balls, face (optional) and
feet (optional). The man shower can be done with a small amount of shampoo and a bar of
soap or body wash. It does not require a washcloth or puff (in most cases if a puff is used, the man is
homosexual.)
The man shower is usually taken under the following conditions:
(1)When there is
time constraints and a full body shower is not practical
(2)The day after a full body shower is taken for the purpose of staying
fresh until the next full shower.
(3)Can be taken because of laziness
(
4)To conserve
water for environmental reasons
(
5)Is the only showering method available for troops in Iraq (if they even get a chance to shower).
It is generally accepted that the man shower will keep a guy fresh and clean up to 24 hours; Whereas a regular shower (a shower taken with thick lather covering all areas) can last as along as 2 days. One must keep in mind the variables that affect the length of freshness after a shower (i.e. perspiration level, unexpected exposure of the body to filth, quality of soap or lack of soap and level of activity.)
