I am 16 and just a little confused because you never hear of a teen boy or older taking a bath. Is it just socially unacceptable? Do you still take baths? Why or why not?

I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't take baths just showers.

i take baths all the time for multiple reasons, sore muscles, sinus problems, if i'm sick, relaxation,
your still getting clean, i turn the shower on afterwards and rinse but thats just to get off residual soap

It's not like you're going to take a bath with other people. I say do whatever you like and forget about what other people think. As long as you're clean that's all that matters. I take warm baths when I'm stressed out and when there's muscle tension, it helps.

I think probably in many countries taking a bath is more common. Americans like fast and convenient. I like to just hop in soap up and get out. One time I heard a comedian refer to taking a bath as laying in pool of your own filth lol

I use to take them to relax myself after a game or a long day but I cant fit in the tub now, though to answer your question I don't see anything wrong with it.

As Ezra said, Americans like the "fast and convenient" way, pretty sure people in more relaxed countries still take baths

I don't bath or shower alot, but that's because i'm a slob, not because i'm a male.

It's just a preference. Who's to tell you that can't shower or take a bath?

Its a little unsanitary, and it uses more water than taking a bath.

Whatever floats your boat, just remember the pros and cons of water usage.

I don't really think it's a problem. Very rarely I'll take a bath, but I usually shower

The only reason I don't take baths is because I don't have one in my bathroom and if I did, it takes forever to have a bath. I can shower in 2 minutes, a bath takes too long.

If my sister had her way I'd never be able to shower and only taking vanilla scented bubble baths. Claims I need it as a teen

Its a little unsanitary, and it uses more water than taking a bath.

I personally am ok with the unsanitary part. It excites me for some reaosn. The water usage is a problem tho.

I am 16 and just a little confused because you never hear of a teen boy or older taking a bath. Is it just socially unacceptable? Do you still take baths? Why or why not?

It isn't socially unacceptable at all, just considered 'girly' mostly like at my school. At home I'm required to take many scented baths cuz it's apparently needed for me to get clean cuz teen guys smell too much for showers, blah blah blah . leats my sister says that and she gets her way a lot :(

Why is that weird?? I always take a bath if I have had a tiring day.

Since I have only a shower in my bathroom taking a bath is not an option. Nothing wrong with a nice relaxing bath if you have that option.

I dont see reason why it is weird ?! I take baths every morning , and I also take showers during day .... Also , sometimes I bath in jacuzzi , so , I dont see the point of your question ...

I don't see a reason why it'd be weird, I mean its a bath. Doesn't matter how old you are and or get everyone takes baths. Both Male and Female, so If you still want to or feel the need to for reasons to take baths, go ahead, Nothing weird about it.

Baths aren't very manly. Actually idk really know any girls that take baths either. Baths arer sort of disgusting if you are actually dirty ... you're bathing in DIRT. But as a runner I do take baths on occasion and I know other both boys and girls do too. Sooooo good on tired muscles.

The main purpose of taking a shower and or a bath is to get clean, but they are both also used to relax you, so its just a matter of preference for you. What you do in your bathroom is really nobodys business anyway.

Not at all I would think. I'm 17 and every now and then take baths just to relax. Now if you don't know how or have never taken a shower, that might be more of a problem.

I'll take a bath to relax or when I have sore muscles.

After a reaally tiring game of football, a hot bath feels awesome. Then you can melt into the bed afterwards , in your fluffy towel.

Showers are more of a morning wake up and get going thing for me.

The opposite, it's weird for guys/gals/humans NOT to take baths.

Smelling nice is always great, everyone appreciates it!

Who cares what society says haha. If you want to take a bath, go right on ahead and do it. How is anyone gonna know, and even if people didn't like it. What are they gonna do?

I mainly take showers because they are much quicker. Baths don't clean you as much, you just sit in a tub full of your dirty water. I do have a bath occasionally though if my muscles ache after they gym or football practice.

Lol, there's nothing wrong with bathing. I take showers a lot more often cause it's quicker and California's in a bad drought, but I don't mind indulging myself sometimes.

It's not weird for a boy our age to take a bath.
I just prefer a hot shower over a bath

James Dean
October 9th, 2014, 03:53 AM
I don't find it weird at all. However, I take sit down baths very rarely. I don't even have a reason I guess because I feel showers are more hygienic and cleaner. Baths you just sit in a pool of water of your own dirt. I don't know, that's just my opinion.

naw it is not wrong or weird. I take showers and showers are more common once you get older, but doesn't make taking baths somehow wrong.

I highly doubt that. I shower just because it's much quicker-that's it

In the UK where I live I am not aware of any social convention around baths or showers. Public facilities such as swimming pools and gyms tend to have showers as they are quicker and use less water but no-one takes much interest in what people have and use in their own homes.

At home I have bathtube with a shower over it so you can do either and I do use both at various times. Shower if I need to get clean quickly and bath if I want to relax.

i only have a bath after doing something (like an expedition) and i stink like hell. also, there has to be enough time and i prefer my siblings not to be home.

As a way of relaxation it's fine in my opinion. However, taking a bath to clean oneself is disgusting to me. Think about it, you sit there in your own filth until you think you're "clean". So, in my opinion if you're looking to clean yourself, take a shower, otherwise take a bath for relaxation.

I take alot of baths. Especially since soaking a sore body in Epsom Salts is great. The master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and its great. They even have some mens bath oils to add to the water to give it that beachy/woodsy scent.

I do sometimes to relax, and if I want to enjoy jerking off in water. Watching myself cum in the water is fucking awesome :-) Anyone who has done it knows why ;)

November 18th, 2014, 05:35 PM
I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as you're also showering a bath can be a nice time to relax and unwind, and if people don't like that you're doing it based on your gender well who cares?

RickMason

If I had the time and cash to pay the water bill I would take one at least once a week. The thing is... I don't. As for the social factor, it's the same like masturbating... Screw people if it helps or brings positive feelings.

November 19th, 2014, 10:14 PM
Definatley not. I luve baths and i love my hot tub more so i go in the hot tub and work out muscles and then in the bath to clean off lol
