Both. I use a near scalding hot bath for muscle relaxation purposes, or to help myself fall asleep, but I always take a thorough shower first. Just marinating in skin soup and calling it a cleansing experience doesn't quite do it for me.

I haven't taken a bath since puberty. After my growth spurt I got too tall for the tub in any house we moved into, and the one time I got an opportunity to take one it didn't feel right.

My roommate seemed to be very happy about the consistently hot water when we moved into our apartment solely because he could take a bath. I also noticed one day when tripping over his myriad of bath products placed on and around the tub (2x more than his girlfriend for some reason) that he has less than half a bottle of something called "Sport bath salts for men". So I'm guessing baths are probably his favorite thing ever, though he certainly doesn't seem the type o_O.

Not typically. If I've had a really long day and I'm sore as hell, I sometimes take a bath, but I rarely have the time.

I'm a guy and I have regular baths; I find them very relaxing and a good way to de-stress, especially if I've been at the gym or have been doing something sporty that has caused me to be achy etc.

Yep. Having looked into the science behind it, apparently the best way to actually get clean is to bathe for somewhere over 10 minutes but under an hour to open up your pores, then shower to scrub off the film that leaves on you. So that's what I do every day.

As for the Dude experience... I'm more of a Walter, I bathe with my .45 close to hand. Thugs with ferrets and urine would be well advised to stay the fuck out of my home (I might have been spurred to type that by the pictures of Jeff Bridges with a pair of revolvers all over the ad space here. That would have made The Big Lebowski a much shorter movie).
A feeble protest of "Hey, this is a private residence, man!" would be all I could muster. Well, I could chuck the big, oogle-eyed plastic duckie at them, that might scare them off.

I usually prefer baths. Since I had a spinal fusion operation a few ears ago, baths have been much more comfortable than showers.

I thought women only took baths to, you know, "relax", which kind of doesn't work for men.

Disregarding that, I have no real urge to lie in a few liters of water, either. It's either swimming or showering.

It depends?!

#1 What I have is a shower niche with a curtain and a hole in the floor.
#2 What I had was a bathtub with no way to actually take a shower.

re #1 I miss the tub.
re #2 Showering sucked.

The Shower Bath

I sit in the tub and let the rain pour over me for an hour.

Not much love for baths hey?

Between a shower and a bath i'll take a bath most of the time. Bathing is very relaxing, i either use the time to read a book or use it as time to think and reflect. I only take showers if i'm in a rush to go somewhere.

I would take a bath more often, but most bathtubs are not really built for adult males. In most tubs either my legs sticking out of the water while I'm laying down or sitting up and most of my torso is out of the water.

When I have my first home you bet the main place I will spend on is the bathroom and its going to include a badass bathtub.

I don't have a bathtub but a suppose a jacuzzi is technically a bathtub. Either way, I don't clean myself in a jacuzzi :p. I even shower after getting out of the jacuzzi to get the chlorine off me.

When doing anything a shower is simply more practical, but as a man I admit I am partial to a good hot soak.

There is little better in the winter than spending a length of time wallowing in some scalding hot water with a good thick book. Less pleasing in the winter, and a cold bath doesn't have the same relaxing feel to it.

I like them every once in a while after a hard day at work, but it's more just to soak in the hot water & then I take a quick shower to get clean. I'd love to just have a hot tub to relax in whenever I wanted.
