The soap.

[HisHoliness]

I'm curious to know, when showering away from home, what is proper soap etiquette?

I'm sure we've all at one point in our life stepped into a foreign shower unequipped with a wash cloth, and are confronted by a disgusting bar of soap. I sometimes reason that since the soap should work as a disinfectant, rubbing it on my body probably isn't the worst thing I could do. But this logic is counterintuitive, since I am immediately grossed out by seeing other people's pubic hairs embedded in the bar of soap.

How have others coped with this? Is using someone else's bar of soap without a wash cloth rude?

im a total germaphobe- i cant handle other people's soap... which is why i use body wash... if there isnt any of that laying around... really hot water would do the trick... better that washing my body with pubes!!!

My black friend Keith says white people are bad for having just a raw bar of soap. like what if you want to wash your face, or your feet.
I think the best thing to do is ask for a wash cloth. and if your in the situation where your already in the shower, and you can see pubes jutting from the soap.....i would definitly step out of the shower and search for a cloth.

Well, I've also lathered up my whole body with shampoo as a substitute, but I don't come out of the shower feeling nearly as clean. There's just no good substitute for soap.

Oh you just reminded me of one of my LARGERST pet peeves.
K so, i have a really tall ceaser cut for hair....and i know im sounding like a pretty boy, but sometimes throughout the day, your hair products loose hold. for me its not a huge deal but i do like to comb my hair to try and fix it.

every time im in a bathroom and need a comb, i search every fuckin drawer, and nothin! wtf? are these people hiding their combs and brushes or something? i just dont get it. it happens to me all the time. GGRRR....pet peeve

If I know I'm going to be staying away from home I'll grab an unopened bar of soap to take with me.

 

[Mrs Behavin]

Guess Ive never experienced that problem before.

When Im staying at a hotel or a family members house, I always bring my own body wash and toothpaste, shampoo, etc.

You all are a bunch of gremaphobes

Just take the bar of soap and hold it under the shower head for a few seconds, everything rinses right off and exposes a fresh clean layer of soap. Then just rub the bar in your hands to lather up good and use your hands and not the bar of soap to clean yourself. And when you are all done, make sure you rinse the soap off again before you set it back where it was.

If it's a big deal, then go spend the buck fifty on a new bar of soap and keep it in your room.

Werd. I'm not a germaphobe, but at the same time I don't want to use anyone elses soap because they might be.

I think you need to contact dt3 and see if you guys can carpool in his new Jetta. you guys sound like you're made for each other!

IF I turned gay, it was only to find out first hand about the mad GP oral skillz

Retrosexual FTW!!!

 

[sexy.time]

retrosexual is more of a attitude and fashion. just cuz i have high hygeine standards dosnt mean im metrosexual. but i dont care. call me whacha want

this pic made me laugh my ass off.

i have sensitive skin

Oh, don't get all butthurt, dammit!

I shower twice a day and brush twice in the AM (before and after b-fast), after lunch and before going to bed.

I just don't exfoliate, push my cuticles back and spend loads of money on 'product.'

metrosexual2277 up, 996 downA straight man who embraces the homosexual lifestyle, i.e. refined tastes in clothing, excessive use of designer hygiene products, etc. Usually is on the brink of homosexuality.
Mike has become a metrosexual after shaving off his stubble and using expensive skin products to soften his cherubic facial features.



Now, I DO like this definition because GP has some style, VERY romantic and likes the finer arts.

metrosexual1287 up, 345 downA new name for something quite old. Men with taste & style who know about fashion, art, and culture have always existed. In past centuries, these kinds of men were in the uppercrust of society (more leisure time). Technology has enabled men with more leisure time, so less wealthy males can now fuss over their looks and aesthetics almost as much as women. An American Metrosexual is like your average European male. In France or Italy, men can be manly and work on cars and know about art and fashion at the same time. They are cool with that and don't need some special name for the less "masculine" side. In the U.S. we think men all have to be eithrt dumb gorillas or homosexuals. There is some grey area! There is an emphasis on not being pretentious in america that itself becomes a kind of pretentiousness. Men who dabble in vanity or in lofty romantic concerns seem less like men when in fact, they are probably better lovers to women than their traditional counterpart.
James Bond is very metro in a lot of ways. He aint no sissy but he has excellent taste.

i aint gettin bent outa shape or anything. But the only reason why i got exfoliating body wash is cuz i dont have the clearest skin. and i never push my cuticles back. my ex always tried to do that to me but i would just push her down the stairs


haha j/k

I can honestly say I have never encountered that type of situation and thank God that I haven't. LOL!
