My question simply is how to you define the degree of cleaning between a surgical scrub and a light soaping and just a high pressure water spray by body part. It sounds like most people have never considered why they wash themselves how they wash themselves.

So do you scrub your back with the same vigor you scrub your ass crack? To me that seems like it would be ridiculous. Remember that soap in addition to removing dirt and bacteria also strips natural oils and can dry skin. Using soap to wash your body is not a universal good.



I’m not making it out to be onerous. I’m asking why you do it. Your argument appears to be because it’s not onerous and not that this is a part of the body that needs to cleaned with soap. I realize most people have probably not really thought about why they do certain things and just do but when you have skin that is sensitive to soap and drys out you start to target the areas that need it.
Yes I scrub my back with vigor.

Water with soap running down your legs is not sufficient in removing dead skin.

My wife scrubs my bath in the shower. I occasionally get a reach-around.

At your age it's more of a hold up than a stick up however.

Here is a link to recommendations from the Cleveland Clinic which seems consistent with most dermatologists recommendations.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/h...-take-a-shower

The only difference is this site suggests showering daily as rule and most others recommend fewer showers unless you've participated in activities that might result in sweat/dirt/odour.

With respect to the question at hand:
Focus on the smelly bits

Unless you’ve been mud wrestling, you probably don’t need to use soap on your entire body. “Generally, the only areas that you need to wash with soap are your face, armpits and groin,” she says.

Also, be sure to get in that belly button with a vigorous wash....I had a girl tell me some guys don't do that...I'll let you do the math.

I like to conserve water too….when I shave in the shower, I leave on the main shower head, and only 3 of the 6 body jets. That’s like a 40% water saving while I shave.

I have no idea what that means, and no interest in finding out!
