i love to take a shower.
in the summer,
i will jump in the shower twice.
can we talk about my shower regiment real quick?
yay ok!
so first i lather my body up with ivory bar soap.
once i wash that off,
i take my washcloth and squeeze dr. bronners peppermint liquid soap on it.
i like how it makes my body tingle.
it might a lot to some,
but a fox just likes to feel clean and smell good.
F-YI: as soon as you get out the shower,
spray your cologne on your body while your pores are still open.
the scent lasts longer.
well it seems like i might take a shower too much.
it isn’t healthy apparently.
an f-bi sent me this write up from “elite daily” and well…

Showering too much can actually damage your skin.

WHAT? Isn’t the entire point of showering to cleanse your skin? Maybe, but you’re doing it far too often and in all the wrong ways.

Let’s get scientific for a moment: The top layer of your skin is comprised of hard, dead cells (umm, gross) which protect the underlying layers of healthy skin.

The top layer is held together by lipids, aka fatty compounds, that help maintain moisture, so any time you shower and scrub, you are breaking this layer apart.

OK, so how is that bad for your skin? Josh Clark explains, “The more showers you take, the more frequently this damage takes place and the less time your skin has to repair itself through natural oil production.”

Believe it or not, you can get away with bathing only twice a week.

GASP! Yup, I said it — TWICE A WEEK! Sure, this may sound disgusting to some, but to others, this is quite a relief. A trend called “cleansing reduction” supports this idea as its benefits include maintaining the good “bugs” that help fight diseases.

According to Lancaster University sociologist, Dr. Elizabeth Lancaster, this trend is far from new and has been around for at least a century.

John Oxford, Professor of Virology at Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry is another professional who supports the idea of showering less frequently.

He argues that as long as people are consistently and constantly washing their hands and staying aware of the situation below the belt, including the use of a bidet, showering twice a week would not be problematic.

they start to smell funky after a while.
we also have this thing called a “bootyhole”.

then there is this thing called “pubic  hairs”.
they can trap the funk all inside.
like a venus fly trap or a jungle of some sort.
as gay/bi/curious/tri men,
we always need to be clean.
the stories i hear about legit funky men before hook ups.
like how are you gonna meet up to have sex with someone and be stinkin?

i don’t know about you,
but i will continue to shower once or twice a day.

lowkey: this might be od…
but before i put anyone’s dick in my mouth or eat groceries,
the whole situation needs to be clean.
like…
giving yo wolf head after a long day of work or playing sports.
