    Cold shower? There are no bonus points for effort. Just take a shower if you can.

    Extra levels of suffering suck and don’t add anything to the experience. Basic self care is a good start. Trying to prove something to a straw man in the mind is silly.

      Probably got the idea from the manosphere. That being said, actually sticking to that particular habit is something to be proud of, and is completely harmless… when you are that low, anything you can be proud of is a win.

        the manosphere

        What about Seneca? Stoicism? What do they have to do with “the manosphere”?

        Cold showers feel great.

      There is some evidence that taking cold showers is beneficial. If you don’t have some underlying heart condition and can handle them, they’re not bad, and they’ll save on electricity/gas. The “nofap” thing concerns me more, since that’s a very “manosphere” concept with no middle ground between healthy sexuality and a crippling masturbation addiction (IIRC the former sometimes comes with crazy, unsubstantiated benefits in the fantasy of the manosphere).

        That article doesn’t say “child showers are good for you!” it says “well, they aren’t going to necessarily kill you, but watch out if you have these health conditions. I bet we can brainstorm some bullshit health benefits.”

      isn’t cold water better for the skin? at least it feels like it, when i do it once ever few years

        Hot water damages the skin barrier. While cold water is better, lukewarm is fine for most people, especially since cold water won’t be able to rinse shampoo and other products out of your hair properly.

      An ice plunge or rolling around in the snow bith feel great afterwards. Really gets the endorphins going. The same applies to cold showers, although I usually only do that only when I can get back into a 100°C immediately after. That’s double the endorphin rush.

        I stick to hot shower + cold hair wash. Perfect for waking up and better for hair care. Win win.

      Considering the rest of their lifestyle, there’s very little chance that they were masturbating a sensible amount. A period of abstinence is a great way to normalize their masturbation habits.

      I feel gross if I don’t brush right after coffee. Can’t imagine a month.

      • cobysev@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Coffee is acidic. If you’re brushing right after coffee, you may be damaging the enamel of your teeth (acid + scrubbing is not a good combination). And it can’t grow back; once you’ve lost it, it’s gone forever.

      Every body is different, but generally for most people every 2-3 days tends to be the sweet spot for a full shower with shampoo, conditioner, etc.

      Personally, I have greasy hair problems, and I ultimately found that showering less frequently made the biggest improvement of all of the changes I made. I’ll generally shower every 2-3 days, and if I do something that makes me sweaty I’ll hop in the shower and rinse off without using any product between those every other day showers

      On the other hand, for OOP, they’re making some big changes and probably need the consistency of every day to help maintain the habit they’re building

        I’m an old guy and have been showering daily since I was young. I feel itchy when I go 48 hours without showering. Never had any significant skin issues.

        But there’s a pretty big difference between every three days and every month.

        For sure - I’m glad the guy in the OP seems to be getting to a better place. His prior state sounds pretty horrific.

      Your body gets used to it.

      Showering every day is also bad for your skin.

      source
      • bss03@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I’m not the best guide for how often to shower, but every dermatologist-written guide I’ve read does indicate that a daily shower is unnecessary for most people and will (for most people) dry your skin. It can also damage your hair. This is true even in the absence of soap/detergent/shampoo.

        That said, if you do anything that causes you to sweat, I think it’s prudent to do a quick rinse because you always smell worse to other people than your do to yourself due to olfactory saturation.
