A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
why do people gender everything. I definitely like the water hotter than my wife does. whoops, we're both trans I guess... what a way to find out.
also my wife is wrong, so are "men" according to whoever made this meme. the best temp is the exact temp that will scold your skin minus 1 degree Celsius.
this does appear to just be an innocent meme based on maybe one anecdote. it reinforces stereotypical thinking and maybe wants to introduce a new one, but it's not all that harmful. many people in the comments here shared their own experience and their own gender, and so someone who does visit the comments gains a bit of wisdom instead.
also screw scolding my skin, I love body temperature or slightly below that showers.
(reading this back, wow I sound like a crappy AI. my apolocheese.)
"Everyone knows this temperature dries you out! If I've told you once, I've told you 1000 times!" - Water 1 degree Celsius hotter than your preferred/best temp to your skin
Showering with my wife sounds like a sexy, fun idea, but it pretty much always means neither of us are at a temperature we like and whoever’s not under the water is getting cold.
Bought a house from an older couple and the shower has a really wide, low shelf that doubles as a seat.
10/10 recommend, even outside of sexy times.
Our bathroom actually has a large bench in the shower but it’s invariably too cold to sit on
You can easily solve this problem with homosexuality...
Do homosexuals have some better control over their body temperatures?
Yeah, they teach you that in the welcome ceremony
Yes. You know how cold-blooded creatures can't regulate their own temperature and warm-blooded can, to some extent? Well, hot-blooded creatures, like the gays, can just adjust as needed.
It's why we're known as flaming.
Now our friend and his boyfriend are questioning why they have to watch us argue in the shower.
Reminder that sex in the running shower is dangerous. Everything is slippery, view is obstructed and space is limited. High risk of breaking bodies or bathroom. Cannot recommend!
yes but what if you hire an on-site medic and plumber? have you thought about that?
"medic" and "plumber"
Plus water and soap washes off juices. Can not recommend either.
Not only that it washes off the lublication that you DO want, any water that is any warmer than luke warm will make cum a congealed sticky mess that doesnt like to come off surfaces and just 'wash down the drain'. If it does wash down after some persuasion it has a good chance of sticking to all the hair being washed down the pipes to become a big-o-ball of hair & cum to block shit up.
There’s that too
Those setups with multiple showerheads solves the getting cold from not being under the water part!
Have one of those but our water heater can't keep up with both heads on so we just end up both being cold. Someday maybe we upgrade heater to something better.
I put a sprayer coming off of one shower head and mounted it using one of those Ikea shower head holders. We both get our own shower head and, while the water pressure is not as wonderful as we'd like, we maintain enough hot water for a full shower and then some.
Put the shower on high temperature, make it steaming hot, literally. Then turn the water jet against the wall so that neither of you gets scalded. Voi là, you turned your shower into a sauna.
Yup, I still like showering with her. But she won't go for it anymore for all those reasons.
You also shower with this guy's wife?
Yeah, I get confused.
It’s like getting in the wrong car in the parking lot. Everyone’s done it.
It’s ok happens to the best of us, hard to keep all these little details straight
Our house has a shower right next to a shower/bath in the same master bathroom. Highly recommend
There's always that one extra benefit that makes it worthwhile though.
Finally getting every bit of your back washed?
I mean that too, but I meant seeing your SO naked.
Guess I'm a woman now.
I’ve never been with a man that can tolerate my lava-hot showers, lol. I wonder if there’s a common reason for this?
I can’t stand a lukewarm or cool shower, gross.
Iiiif I remember correctly and also I may be wrong, women tend to get colder easier - especially on limbs. Maybe that affects this? Lack of ability to hold temperature as well.
I do localized hot, not all over. Burn me someplace I can control, not everywhere. It may be rooted in control masochism? No idea.
I have uttered the phrase, "ARE YOU TRYING TO BURN MY DICK OFF WHAT THE HELL!?!!"
i've consistently had the opposite experience. i be man. i want the water HOT. partners always prefer cold or room temp water
Sorry. Meme says you’re a woman.
Not true. My girlfriend practically wants it tepid tap water temperature. I'm all about boiling hot.
Me too, I want my skin to be red when I exit the shower.
I do too despite how bad that is for my skin.
mmm... boiled leather.
Surprisingly the opposite in my house. Even though my husband runs warm and I run cold, if I take a shower right after him, I always have to turn the temp down. He likes to get scalded or something.
My wife would describe the one on the right as "freezing." The correct temperature, according to her, would be right around the same temp as the surface of the sun.
What's the reason? Does this come from a different pain tolerance or do women like pain? And if women in general like pain, why?
From my experience, hot water keeps me focussed on the shower and allows me to relax while I shower less hot if I want to just quickly get clean.
Could it be that it is not so much the pain but that men in general don't like the shower taking their focus?
Body heat is different between the sexes but also average height too. Shower water cools a lot in small distance.
You will notice your shulders feel less heat than your head. If you check the bottom with your feet, it will be almost cold.
I used to imagine it would be sexy to shower with my partner but I've learned that even women who appear physically delicate in most other situations still temper themselves like steel when they shower. I think that I would get burns from sustained exposure to water that hot.
Damn i thought this was a pee joke something must be wrong with me
