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.)
